What will be the future of the world?

God only know what the future of the world looks like, but we can attempt at guessing. Honestly, I do not know whose guess is better. One thing for certain is that we will never be a benevolent society.

Kaplan's "The Coming of Anarchy Theory" is one of those theories that we all, including Kaplan, wish that will be wrong. We don't want it. We want to prevent it. But do we have the power and resolve to prevent it. All civilizations have a beggining, a golden era and a fall. How close are we to that fall? What will cause it? Will it be our own greed? Maybe. But im a hopefull. I'd like to think that Kaplan's example of the limo is a true one. In New York City, there are the really rich, the middle class and the poor. They share the same streets but live in completely different worlds. However, one of the reasons I love my home town, is that there is not real reason, except in cases of extreme neglect or abuse, why anyone would starve, go without medical attention or not get educated. New York City takes care of the need of the rich, but it also helps the poor. Every child has guaranteed meals through out the year. Milk and bread are subsidized. There is not tax on food or clothing. There are many free clinics. There truly is much opportunity in New York City if you know where to look. Still, the fat cats are fat and happy. If NYC can do it, maybe the rest of the world can too.
