Ruler For A Day

In my Class, the discussion came up of “If you had all power, money, jurisdiction, etc… for the entire world (and you were the Dictator) what would you do?” This is such a difficult question only because of the endless possibilities of what I would want to achieve. I guess where I would start is to end hunger, poverty, sickness by ensuring that everyone would be given the same education; the same opportunities as others to better their own lives. I would want everyone in the world to have an education not just in elementary schools but also colleges, be given the opportunity for learning new skills through internships, and one on one training’s. I would attempt to have crops grown everywhere, clean water filters put in anywhere that water is provided. All children would receive the proper medicinal and dental care that is needed; my hope would be that with everyone being provided with the same education, food, job security as others then the details of “who would pay for all of this?” would then be answered or taken care of. Like I’ve said this is all “what would you want to do” however the reality of the situation is that there is a lot of other things that would present itself, which would possibly make it more difficult to achieve this. However since this is “what if” then the things I would want to do doesn’t have to make perfect, logical sense.

My next step would be to hopefully end the wars, or have peace between countries. However, if other countries were given the same opportunities in their countries, and their lands were able to flourish like our country has, would there still be hate, or war? Would those countries people be the same as ours? Would they accept freedom? and expect nothing less of their countries? Id like to think that by giving every country the same opportunities, ensuring no more poverty among the people, not having “upper class, lower class, poor, etc” then my hope would be that people would no longer want to steal from each other anymore, the possibility no more gang violence, the possibility of drugs playing as big of a role as they do would possibly end, and people would keep going above and beyond what they think they can achieve and become more.

People would no longer be “born into poverty”, rather they would be given the same opportunities as everyone else regardless of class or which part of the world you were born in. Although it ultimately is and always remains someone’s choice to what they choose to do with their lives. However, there’s a lot of gray area in between, what if the person was not provided the same access to books, electricity, and are surrounded by those who have the same education as themselves? Is it truly their fault that they are in poverty?

My slogan would be “Time Is Non Refundable. So Use It With Intention.” In all honesty I would hope to make wars go away. But the likelihood of that being a possibility seems like its something that would never happen in this world. But in the “what if” world i would hope that wars would go away. I would want there to be peace among the different leaders in the world, to then help countries unite, and people come together. I would also hope to ban “Fake Journalism” but doing that would take away people freedom of speech and I would not want to ban that. This is fun to think about, but is also a lot to process because you have to think about “is that really possible though?” It definitely got me thinking about the world more, and the different ways that all of the people live.
