Communication Needs to Change

Hey Guys!

There is always room for change and improvement in anything. Human beings are amazing creatures, but we're not perfect and neither is our world. If I could transform or even just improve one thing in this world a little bit, I would change the way people and countries communicate. 

In my opinion communication is necessary to do anything or change anything on this planet. It seems to me that one place in which communication has a lot of room for improvement is between countries. Countries tend to try to improve themselves at the cost of bringing other countries down. I think it would be so beneficial to just change the mindset our world has. We all live on the same planet and were never made to live without communication. Every country invents new ideas everyday and if we share things everyone will benefit from it.Nothing will ever change or improve if everyone works against each other.













I would love to know what you guys would hope to transform in our world.

The Fog Horn by Ray Bradbury

It has been more than a million years.
I have no one to talk to or play with.
One can not survive without communication.
I was alone.

I there may be one more creature like me left in the sea.
I've gathered up courage for my journey.
I'm ready to begin my travels upward from the Deeps.

It's the only option I'm left with.
Once I reunite with one of my kind all will return to normal.
I was alone

Months pass.
I told myself I would get to Lonesome Bay --eventually.
I just kept on swimming.
At times I had no hope.
I didn't know what would happen to me or when I would arrive.
I was alone.

After a year, I wanted to give up.
Suddenly I felt a coolness rush over my head.
As I kept swimming upwards, more came rushing down on me.
At last, I had reached the surface.
Joy had filled me.
I did it.
I didn't have to be alone anymore.

I had yet reunited with one of my kind.
I heard its deep cry--
I responded with pride and delight.
I wasn't alone.

We had just begun our conversation.
When all of a sudden, its bellow was no more.
Was it scared of me? Was the monster a joke?
I didn't know what was happening
My soul filled with despair.
I was alone.

After all these years.
This is what I have come to find.
A fake monster, only here to mimic me cry.
I was devastated.
I was alone.

As anger got ahold of me, I crashed into this fake creature.
Who dare do this to me?
I had but only good intentions.
I'll never come back.
What will I do?
I cant survive the rest of my life like this.
What will happen to me at the bottom of the ocean
with no one to talk to and nothing to do?
I'll rot away.
I was alone forever.

Confederate Soldier: “My Thoughts on the Civil War”

Dearest Henry and Elizabeth, 

I am fighting every day in the war with my fellow soldiers. Conditions are not the best in the war right now but you needn't worry about me, I will come back soon, a stronger man. When I come back, I promise, Abraham Lincoln will no longer be president. I am more than happy to be fighting for the Confederacy... there are not enough men on our side. The Union troops are greatly outnumbering us and it's sufficiently hard to keep attacking them back. Oh, and children, please don't forget to send your condolences to Uncle Harriott's family, unfortunately he passed away in the Battle of Gettysburg yesterday. I'm furious that the Union won the Battle of Gettysburg, but all that means is that us confederate solders will keep fight harder. Henry, would you also please make sure that Elizabeth keeps up her studying, we don't want to stress Margret out now do we. I hope this letter finds you two well and I am very much looking forward to seeing everyone soon.

After this write soon,

George E. Smith
