Democratic Europe (Demokratična evropa)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040, I want to continue to live in a democratic society. I hope that after periods of crisis as it is now (covid-19 crisis, Russian invasion...), we will not witness a repetition of history, with reference to the arrival of any totalitarian systems in power. In order to avoid this, we need to maintain zero tolerance for such movements, namely, I believe that in some parts of Europe they are not excessively distant from such movements. That democracy should continue to be a practice and not just a pretext under which different interests of individual leaders hide. The autonomy of the media, the right to express opinions, the right of women to vote, all of which are the privilege that people have chosen in the past, is our duty not to take this for granted. However, my announcement remains optimistic, as I believe that my generation (young people) is much more aware of what our predecessors were. From this perspective, I believe that we will continue to live in a democratic society, where every citizen or member of a given community will have a say, the possibility of expressing satisfaction and dissatisfaction in symbiosis with autonomous media, which will act as a means of pursuing the interests of all and not just a handful of people in power. However, in order to achieve my announcement, it will be necessary to do what to do. The main thing is that young people are educated about the media, about politics and that they are actively participated in politics, as it is the guise of democracy which, according to my assessment, has not been used best in recent years, so there is some dissatisfaction for which we have been co-responsible by everyone who has not done anything to prevent the current situation from emerging.

In 2040, I imagine a world where technology serves people without harming the environment. I would like to see a more environmentally friendly diorva where electric and hydrogen cars are completely replaced by internal combustion engines.

Nice
In 2040 the feature is more peaceful in every level of imagination, no wars are present in the world, there is no violence or abuse of any kind. Everyone is minding their own business, but thinking like community and about how their decisions effect the life of thousands, if not now than in the future. Kindness is back in style and is paying an important role in everyones life. It's nice to live in 2040.

I wish for this time, which I will obviously no longer experience, that there are no more criminal and illegal foreigners living in our country, that the foreigners have integrated themselves into our country and all work and are no longer just in the pocket of the state.

Lepší svet
I imagine 2025 as follows. People will no longer eat in the normal way. Food will be replaced by pills or liquid food. Cars and other means of transport will cease to exist - their replacement will be a teleportation system that can teleport a person anywhere. It will work just like navigation. Overall, there will be less crime in the world to prevent evil. Death has a completely different meaning. In 2040, one can pay for the “extension of life.” by letting oneself be frozen.
