Europe where refugees do not differ based on their skin color

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I hope that in 2040 people will be equal all over the world. I hope to see European countries accept the refugees not based on their skin color or some other stupid characteristic as we are all humans, we are all created equal and we all strive for same things, which are crucial in order to survive. I feel sad when I see my own government state something as absurd as “those refugees from Ukraine are not the same as the ones from Syria”. Here we can see some elements of hatred against people with darker skin, here we can see that people that are culturally more similar to us are more welcomed than those that are different, when speaking of their religion, culture, language etc. It makes me quite worried when I see something as cruel happening still in 21st century. Did we learn something from the past? I am concerned we have not. Do we want to see the history to repeat? I am sure we do not. I am positive that we have come a long way since the last war and segregation based on the color of the skin, but if we do not take actions and fight fore equality we might return on the old paths. It is our responsibility to speak aloud when such crimes happen. No country should not close its doors for people that are coming for better life, running away from the war zones. All that because if we do not accept someone striving for peace that actually makes us supporters of war, as we all know that participating in war with weapons, killing people is never the right way. We are all the same race, why do not we help each other and grow together instead?

A future of support and care gor each others wellbeing and mental health
In 2040, Europe has blossomed into a society where kindness is the foundation of everyday life. People naturally support each other’s mental health, treating one another with compassion, patience, and respect. Bullying, cruelty, and exclusion have faded into the past, replaced by communities where empathy and understanding are taught from childhood. Workplaces, schools, and public spaces are filled with encouragement, and mental well-being is nurtured as carefully as physical health. Neighbors look out for one another, strangers offer warmth, and love and solidarity are the true currencies of the future.

My vision of the European Union is a Union of tolerance and understanding, where people can actively listen to each other, regardless of age, gender, race, nationality or other factors. In this EU, from a young age, at all levels of education, children will be guided not to memorise and pressure on performance as human stands, but will be more encouraged to use different sources of information, including digital books, but to learn through intergenerational sharing of knowledge and experience between children, parents, grandparents and educational institutions : Primary schools, secondary schools, colleges, universities, leisure centers, social services facilities and so on. Thanks to the automation of many processes, people will not be so pushed into performances, but they will have more time to care for each other if, for example, someone gets sick or finds themselves in a difficult life situation. I dream, also, of a future where healthy competition among people in school collectives, at work, but also among people in personal life will remain, but will be limited by ethical principles of decency, kindness and emotional intelligence. The teacher will no longer be the owner of the truth, he will lead his students to critical thinking using various tools and technologies. I would like society to be less polarised in 20 years, to focus on what unites us, not what divides us. I dream of a modern and progressive world that will be more accepting and where people will be people again.
