How Can I Change the World?
Thinking of an answer to this question hurts my head. It is hard to imagine a way for one person to change the world in such a unique way. However, watching the documentary video, Forest Man, gave me glimpse of someone who has changed the world for the better. He was able to take a bad situation and make something good with it. But what can I change? What does the world need that only I can provide? Well to answer as truthfully as I can, I would say that the world needs someone like me to step up and take charge of the many different groups of people fighting to protect our planet. There are many different groups lobbying for environmental change. Each group is making progress little by little in their respective fight. I believe that if more groups would come together and support each other and work together that they would have more say and spread their message quicker than on their own. I want to be the person that helps brings the many groups together. I want to be the person who unites everyone together to make a stand for what we all want. That is the change I could make. It takes a lot of determination and passion to lead people but I believe I have what it takes to bring people together. I can make people see that joining forces can potentially have an amazing outcome for groups all over the world.
A big question though is how would I go about such an endeavor? Well I think the first step would be contacting smaller local organizations with similar causes. From there, I would explain my ideas on how coming together would give them more say and more publicity. I would then start to work my way up to bigger organizations around the country. I realize it is much more complex than that overall but it is just an idea.
Some people might disagree with this view saying that it would take away from the smaller organizations in favor of what the bigger organizations wanted to accomplish. This is a possibility yes, however, I believe that is worth the risk considering the potential such a massive group of individuals has. Some people might say that this is an impossible task. To them I say “nothing is impossible” because I have hope and believe in this idea.
