In 2045, I would like to see a world with people that love and respects each other no matter what colour their skin or what their religion is. I would like to see a world  with no poverty and everyone is equal. I would like to see a world with brilliant ideas, innovations and inventions with good and very helpful technologies. I would also love to see my country, eSwatini, and other third world countries grow and become first world countries. I would like the world to be a safe place to live in, where you can walk at night and not worry about anyone harming you , a world where every one has a livelihood, education and women are treated with dignity.

I would like a world which has fresher air and no pollution where you do not see lakes filled with litter or animals that died because of it. I would love to see a world that fears God and love's him with all their hearts , a world full of love , peace , forgiveness , beauty and hope. I would like  to see a world where everybody has a home including pets and for there  to be good teachings and values instilled on young people so that they grow up to be responsible adults.

I would like a world without war, with great leaders that empower and motivate people in life and leaders who actually care for their country or people not just look after their selfish needs and wants. I would like to see children grow up in good, healthy and safe environments.

2045 should be a place where people are allowed to express themselves and be allowed to be differently without being judged or bullied about how they are or how they may look . A world where anyone's ideas can be put to use and not just stay with them because offear of victimization.

I would like a world where ever country has great health facilities to handle any pandemics and diseases that may occur so that people do not die unnecessarily. In addition, every country should have other facilities for people to express their talent . For example, i am passionate about formula 1 and i have the talent to be  a formula 1 driver but unfortunately for me the country that I live in does not have the proper facilities for me to become what I want to be in the future. I would like a world with healthier food options at restaurants. I would like a world where the internet is used for good things only and there are no pop up advertisements when children are doing their homework and then see things that they are not supposed to see and a world where people put others first rather than themselves, a world where people care about nature and their environment , for instance, when people cut down trees, they plant twice as more than they cut down and and be innovative in developing green energy.  2045 should be a place where  everyone has a job or business opportunity. It should be a world that has no unemployment so that we do not have people stealing from others....a really lovely world with self driving cars, helpful robots and hi-tec gadgets.

I would like a world full of responsible people who do not blame others for their  actions . For there to be real life simulations and portable houses , self tie-ing shoes . This is how I would like to see 2045. Thank you!!
