      HI Jonahcowen,
      That’s such a hard question, there are lots of things I would change so picking one is very tricky. I think that I would have to say that good medical care should be available to every person in the world, regardless of whether they can afford it, or where they live. Too many people die of treatable diseases and it makes me really sad. I think it’s a very big hope, but maybe one day in the future!

      What would you change?

      I’d get rid of war- I hate it. I understand that it is sometimes necessary, but I do wish we lived in a world that it wasn’t . It causes famine and poverty, destroys lives and is such a useless waste of life. The world we live in now means as a nation we sometimes have to step in to prevent atrocities in other countries, but it does worry me how we pick and choose when and where to help. I am very lucky to live in a beautiful rural village that is very community centred, it is a little piece of tranquility where people are learning to work together for the benefit of everyone who lives here. What I really wish is that we could scale it all up to the rest of the world! War is an expensive thing and the money could be much better spent on medical research, and the waste of human potential means that we might be losing some amazing people who’s future potential to contribute to the progression of science is lost.
