If I could change the world I would get rid of the following things: violence, ignorance, and alcohol.

To begin with violence causes a lot of problems. For example, people may get hurt ort killed. Many people use violence because their either taught to be violent or they have an anger issue they can’t control and let it out by using violence. Violent behavior can be a serious problem. For example, innocent people may be killed, or it isn't safe to even go out to places. It also causes war and people get killed.

Next, ignorance is also a problem. It bothers me that some people do things without caring about anything or anybody. They only care for themselves and don’t worry if they’re doing harm to others around them. They are just careless people. Pushing and shoving is their ways to getting to their destiny. Their words are useless and only speak the negative and never let out the positive. The behavior it threatening and judge every person they see without looking at themselves and never take a chance to see the real person in somebody. They may also be judgmental.

The last thing I would eliminate is alcohol. One reason would be because my uncle owned a liquor store and he was drinking constantly. His everyday habit was to drink. His family insisted for him to go to the doctors but he never wanted to. Until his body couldn’t take enough and sadly he passed away. The first funeral I ever went to was my uncle’s and it was devastating to the family. I didn’t really care at that point because I was just a kid. When I started getting older I finally understood it was a sad and devastating day.

With this in mind those are some of the things I would get rid of in order to make this world a better place. I would be very happy if those things were gone forever.
