People, of diverse nationalities and with dissenting perspectives, from across the globe share on-e common goal: implanting an ideal society to the current world. Throughout mankind’s history, there have been countless attempts and endeavours to successfully accomplish this goal. Yet, they have always proved to be a never-ending cycle of repetitive mistakes. Worn out by the fatiguing, vain attempts at this seemingly impractical aim, we have come to unconsciously convince ourselves that this pleasant dream is a mere fantasy. However, the international goal of implanting an ideal nature into our world can be achieved. Absolute termination of discrimination, establishment of an effective international organization, and growth in warm attention and care towards our neighbours are the three important factors that will allow the realization of the goal which we eagerly pursue and wholeheartedly anticipate.

 

            To attain the perfect world that we dream of the first step is removing discrimination, both small and big, from the root. Even though the general public agrees that discrimination against certain groups is immoral, it is, to this day, still very easy to witness the disturbing sights of explicit discriminatory acts. Racial discriminations are still active all over the world while people blithely believe that they have cleared out such issues. nulle example that shows the pervasion of racial discrimination is a current, concerning situation in Korea. Consistently throughout the year, those from many underdeveloped countries come to Korea to earn their families’ livelihoods. However, the problem is exacerbated when they are mistreated for their appearances and deprived of their human rights. It is very common to find heart-breaking cases where employers inhumanely manipulate the labourers, who cannot express themselves freely in a language that is not their mother tongue. Another critical problem the world faces is intolerance against women. Recently, there was news about a girl in Saudi Arabia who was sentenced to death for being raped by a group of ignorant men. We, given the privileges of better qualities of life and environments, tend to be oblivious to matters that are happening outside of our boundaries, and among such matters lies a deeply rooted dilemma of discrimination. A supreme society that many humans dream of cannot be built upon generous tolerance for unjustifiable acts of discrimination, which explains why thorough elimination of intolerance of any kind is a crucial step towards fulfilling our goal.

 

            The goal of reaching the ideal world calls for an effective international organization. Today, the United Nations is on-e of the most well-known international organizations. However, the UN’s good intentions and attempts to make this world a better place are overrun by its shortcomings. UN’s effectiveness is often held in question, and its actions contradict its stated goals of maintaining world peace and addressing global issues. To sate our thirst and craving for a superior world, all the nations, as a unit, need to establish a new organization - not a branch of an organization - that solely focuses on the concerning global issues – for example, child labour, poverty, and hunger. The existence of this organization should consolidate the bonds between the member-states, and disallow the stubborn actions of voicing individual wants and opinions. The establishment of an exceptionally competent organization of the global citizens will, without a doubt, take humanity on-e step closer to the realization of its magnificent aim.

 

             For the attainment of a desirable world, individuals will need to learn to care for their neighbours. An overwhelming number of people is blinded with insatiable greed and overly ambitious wills. Many people, thus, have grown apathetic to the painful cries of their suffering neighbours, desperately seeking help and attention. This cruel phenomenon pervading today’s world has built a sturdy barrier that prevents humans from achieving the goal of an ideal world. To overcome this firm, mighty blockage, humans will have to abnegate self-centred sentiments and open their eyes to learn, at last, the unfortunate conditions against which their neighbours are battling. In most cases, warm, loving attention is the on-ly anodyne that can alleviate their pain of the deep wounds. Many are familiar with the quote, “In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us.” As this quote pinpoints out, warmness brought upon an individual breeds more warmness, and the cycle will be complete to purge cold hostility and apathy from people’s communities and replace their absence with amity and compassion. Then, our goal’s fulfillment will be assured.

 

            The world we are living in is fraught with dissatisfaction, chaos, and confusions, and it seems almost impossible to tame the turbulent wildness the world bears. However, this chaotic world can be forged into a perfect shape that humans desire. There are three steps that should be taken to accomplish this goal: disallowance of any acts of intolerance, creation of a new, global organization that excels in competence, and individuals’ relinquishment of self-centred, apathetic notions. When the world becomes free of unjust discrimination, incompetent organizations, and cold apathies, humans will doubtlessly witness the remarkable turning point of the world, and disappointments and chaos the current world offers will become a thing of the past.
