4. Is there hope for the future? Is there a reason to be hopeful?

     Depending on what topic and perspective we speak of, the question of whether there is a reason to be hopeful for our future is a rather confusing one.

     If you’re talking about war and if it will ever cease to end in the future, then there is probably a reason to be hopeful.  In the near future, society will still use war as a means to solve conflicts and not come to a solution. As humans, we must evolve to a point to where we are able to solve differences without a means for conflict, in a more humane and less barbaric way. On day in the far future, the human race will be able to do this. We will come to the conclusion that simple lines on a map or the colors of our skin does not distinguish us from each other, or make any of us superior in anyway.

      With our current scenario with ISIS in the Middle East and the recent outbreak of Ebola in the United States, we can only hope for a successful future.  The only thing getting through daily life is hope for tragic events such as these to come to an end. Hope is the only thing keeping us going while conflicts arise.

      As for hope for the future of our society as a whole, well that truly depends on person to person. Some may say there is no hope, and our future generations will only continue to get worse than our current “selfie generation”. Others believe in history repeating itself and that the future generations will take up the same beliefs and social skills as that of our fore fathers. Personally, with the growing development and evolution of technology, the growing population to come will become less socialize and more robotic, eventually becoming mindless zombies following the developers of the newest Apple products.

     All in all, there is hope for a better future and a better tomorrow. We should remain hopeful as a way get through our daily struggles, and as a means not to give into devastation.
