“AMERICA’S ROLE IN THE NEXT CENTURY”



“AMERICA’S ROLE FOR THE NEXT CENTURY”

 

As we step into the new millennium, there are vast new discoveries and an increasing amount of advancement in technology in America as well as other countries around the world. However, with new technologies and discoveries, the world would result in more violent situations and more problems, which would lead to protests and wars that would result in great loss and tragedy among citizens. History shows that violence has happened in the past, and it is still happening today, but if people are not going to do anything to stop this, more violence will happen in the future.

If we look at the past, people discovered new machinery, weapons, and found ways to improve America and to make her a great country. Although the accomplishments were not very smooth and easy at the time, citizens in America had faced many problems and difficulties to go through those times. They fought and died in wars over and over again, and yet, no one ever realized that their devotion to the nation had resulted in violence. The French and Indian War, the American Revolution, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, and Desert Storm, all represent violence.

Today, even though we do not have all those great wars that involved injuries and deaths, countries around the world are trying to make peace with each other. They are trying to work with other countries as a whole. They are now involved in international affairs, but they do not realize that they are forgetting and ignoring what is happening in their own country. Very few people have realized that the biggest problems have been developing in their country. We are now facing many new kinds of problems like hate crimes among teens and other teen problems. They are showing a great deal of disrespect toward others’ differences and cultures. This problem results in fighting and shooting, which affects almost everyone. Many teenagers today are watching violent movies and television shows and listening to music suggestive of teen violence. They are so devoted to their idols and role models that they have made terrible mistakes that no one has ever thought they would do. Almost everyone now actually fears for their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

People say that teens are our future; what they do now is an important factor in the future. Today will be tomorrow’s events, and soon they will be written in history so our next generation can learn from those events that had happened in the past. I just wish that they would realize all these violent acts are not positive. Hopefully, they will find a way to prevent violence in this nation. Once they can control violence in this country, they can start on helping countries around the globe.

For this purpose, I think that our next generation will have many ideas to reduce violence. They could start to develop a universal language where everybody in the world would understand and speak it. By communicating with other nations, this will reduce confusion and misunderstanding between each other. Another way to reduce violence is they could establish laws to abolish all weapons like guns and nuclear warheads. Although these may not be very effective to the people, but they will get everyone started.

In this century, people have improved tremendously in technology. They have built space stations, probes, and many types of crafts in space because they want to know what it is like beyond our planet. Scientists talked about life outside our planet and planned to colonize other planets. In the field of medical science, we have discovered new kinds of medicines and found cures for many diseases. Scientists have found vaccines for small pox. They have also developed an enormous understanding about genetics, to work toward finding cures or treatments for genetic diseases such as breast cancer.

In conclusion, I believe that this next century will be the beginning of many new wonderful centuries to come. The role that America is going to play will be very important to us as well as other countries around the world. Since America is the number one nation in the world, and could be classified as a pioneer type of leader. I believe she will leads our country and other countries around the world to success. She will show other nations new ways on how to improve technology. In addition, she could share her information either on medical researches or any advancement in technology with other nations.
