I am seeing more cars being built that is environmentally healthier, more inventions are being created to help third world counties to receive clean water. <br /><br />Nicolas-<br /> You put a smile on my face as I read your comment on not worrying because our predicted future will end in 2012 by the Mayans anyway. But that just proves everything is mind over matter. If you believe, it will happen. I believe my life will level out…and it will.

I would have thought that the United States would be on the lower end.<br /><br />However when I think about it, it does make sense. It makes sense to me not because of people being more happier in the Unites States, but that it is easier to make money in our country and to keep it. Traveling in Europe I realized quickly that daily living is extremely more expensive. America has much influence on the world whether we want to believe it or not. I turn on the television in Switzerland and the first show I am watching is CSI Miami dubbed in German. Hollywood by itself has an amazing latitude to help or worsen the economies. <br /><br />For me, I am semi-optimistic. I do think our world economy will be better, not in the near time future nor not as great. But things will turn around gradually. Right now I want to focus on doing my best in school and trying not to worry about student loans or my bills.yulia8nahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685752817282604286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951811281604727291.post-7029694479558876122010-10-25T02:35:21.257-04:002010-10-25T02:35:21.257-04:00I am rather optimistic for the future which looks ...I am rather optimistic for the future which looks well for the moment<br />I think that it is worth being always more optimistic that pesmistic because we have only good reasons for living and it is necessary to smile to life.Geoffreynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951811281604727291.post-48631357323578741662010-10-25T02:32:26.389-04:002010-10-25T02:32:26.389-04:00I’m not very pessimist for my future because human...I’m not very pessimist for my future because humans have already managed to take out there like during the financial crises in 1929.

The common theme seems to be that we all are going through or have been through some hard time because of the state of the economy. I think when so many of us are thinking positive of the future; it will be ok because we make our own future by what we do in the present. From what I have read, know one seem to be setting around waiting for something to happen. We are all out in the world trying to make it happen, that’s why it’s going to be ok.ivanflowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06353693489856502459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951811281604727291.post-24397692308554114182010-10-24T22:31:14.607-04:002010-10-24T22:31:14.607-04:00You known in my journey in this class I have learn...You known in my journey in this class I have learned that we have to educate ourselves more in the global situations and events. We have to expand our knowledge and education not only to our hometowns our country we lived but also our surroundings. Understanding the surroundings around us we can understand the effect in our own country. I am very optimistic person and I believe in our people and the future helping others each day. Just learning more about the planet and educating myself to be a better person and individual in the society that it’s constantly changing and adapting to new environmental, economical and social changes. I cannot tell you sometimes you may get pessimistic because you’re feeling and temporary situation will control you but the important is to be focus on your goals and what you do each day to feel better and be better to others. This year is been really hard to me in my personal life but learning watching the videos us things that are currently happening around us it really make me things that I need to get strong and continue forward. People around us are continuously suffering and trying to survive each day in their countries.Why we cannot be optimistic us that we have the sources and the people to improved current crisis? Believe and prepare for the future is my motto…We cannot not change the world but just doing something small can change a day!!!<br /><br />Thanks Mrs Athena for the great information and videos.Yaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14537764462906644120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951811281604727291.post-7228002548008988442010-10-24T22:18:42.534-04:002010-10-24T22:18:42.534-04:00Reply to Lauren:

With all the troubles of the current world, it is necessary to make the best of every situation in order to be successful, but you also have to be realistic. Times are tough and they will not get better over night. You have to make sacrifices and work hard, which can be daunting.<br /><br />I do feel as if American's are more optimistic. It's the whole "American Dream" thing. You can be anything you want to be, you can do anything you want. Most often, American teaches one individualism, favoring individual goals over communal ones.Margeuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365298947796336849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951811281604727291.post-51352951587743718402010-10-24T20:06:40.021-04:002010-10-24T20:06:40.021-04:00Christina,

As the last few yuears unfolded and people were in panic about housing markets and retirement funds I kept my head up and hoped for the best. Our national deficit is hard to believe and our kids and grand kids will be paying for it, but we live in a country where there are many freedoms, someone has to pey for it, right? I have cashed out all of my savings and the little bit that I had in a retirement fund so I could get through hard financial times but I am lucky that I was able to save a little and take a few small loans to pay certain things off. I am not sure what the future will be, so the best thing to do is think positive and get through day by dayBryon Bewsherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445295639366011840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951811281604727291.post-32982846545994042452010-10-24T18:52:16.060-04:002010-10-24T18:52:16.060-04:00I try to be optimistic about the country's fut...I try to be optimistic about the country's future but when I think about the politics that are involved sometimes I find myself being pessimistic. I look to the past and see how the economy has always come back up after a tough time and I find myself feeling a little more at ease; however, with politics playing a big role in the country's future it seems like nothing good is going to come from the back and forth bickering. I'm just keeping high hopes that we will come up as a nation and strive for a greater country.<br /><br />As far as all the comments made towards Jungalist's post I have to say I agree.

Everyday people minds change towards their future from actions or situations in any given day. Personally as a child I saw nothing but violence and envision the whole world to be the same. As an adult I now understand every negative can be a positive with the right pair of glasses. As far as your comment on the war there is no positive outcome out of it except who had the most kills and who gained the most control over someone else.Robert Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601415472768712044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951811281604727291.post-67471573526983248712010-10-24T17:04:36.185-04:002010-10-24T17:04:36.185-04:00I'm very optimistic towards my future, however...I'm very optimistic towards my future, however I don't blind myself to what's really going around me. Everyday in life everyone will face a learning situation and it's up to them to stay positive and learn from the situation. There's not enough people in America who will volunteer to mentor children towards a better life. Even though you may not personally change the world you can spark the brain of someone who can. I believe once we control the corruption going on between top officials and politics we can fully see changes in the world. Right now everyone is after their greed in politics and in the process we are destroying our resources to live.Robert Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601415472768712044noreply@blogger.com
