Year 2060: Envisioning A Better Future

We learn not to give so much importance to the color of one’s skin, heritage, background, and religion. It shouldn’t matter.

By EJS from Los Angeles 14 in California

I am hoping that in the years to come, everyone has more love and compassion for one another. I am sure that many are well aware of the emergence of racist and violent anti-Asian hate crimes that has surfaced since the spread of the COVID-19 virus. I think there is a lot of racial profiling occurring, which targets the Asian-American group as a whole, and frankly, I do not know if our country will be able to fully recover from this crisis. With family members dying and President Trump making racist claims about how the Chinese people are to blame, I feel that many will hold onto their anger and manifest hatred towards Asians and Asian Americans for the time being.

Even though change won’t happen quickly, I do hope that the United States will be able to move past this issue and take the steps to prevent racist and xenophobic violence and discrimination related to the COVID-19 virus. I hope that in the following years, people can learn not to give so much importance to the color of one’s skin, heritage, background, and religion. It shouldn’t matter. We should be viewed as a whole, and everyone should feel safe and accepted.

I am most inspired by the women who were able to overcome enormous hurdles to gain a significant title or status in their fields – whether they work in one of the top law firms, own a successful company of their own, or perform rare life-saving surgeries on patients. I am inspired by the women who lead with compassion and encourage the next generation to rise to greater heights. Women have come a terribly long way to fight for their freedom and rights, which has brought us to where we are today. Women had to fight for everything they have gained today, while others took it for granted. Even though gender inequality still exists, it is still less than before and women are continuing to fight for more. The women who promote and action change make me want to do better, achieve more, and never give up even in the face of challenge. I see hope in a better future when I think of how much has changed since the mid 20th century.

A Green 2060

Between 2020 and 2060, Americans will finally accept that climate change is real. Hopefully we'll still be alive, with many more new green initiatives in place to keep the planet healthy.

bemusing that Americans once thought a future like this was so impossible

Strangely, before 2020, most americans actually believed that a sudden and drastic overhaul of the economy in order to combat a global crisis was impossible.

La intriga del 2060

Dos diferentes visiones acerca de como será el 2060... la intriga del futuro es algo de todos y los puntos de vista son distintos, más cuando se trata de una joven de 20 años y un adulto de 57 años intentando imaginar como será la vida en 40 años.

People will always make mistakes -- we will never evolve to be perfect, and I'm glad we won't.

"The future is today"

Within a grey situation, we can find the colours within many people who have volunteered within this crisis, people who join together to contribute, people who know that today we need to be stronger and more united.

future that is much better than the present

2060. I've never thought this far into the future but it's there--waiting, continually changing and shifting, until one day January 1st, 2060 will arrive.

Technology has advanced in all senses of the word, because technology is something that is constantly evolving.

I think about the creation of the internet and how revolutionary it was. It resonates with me when thinking about what could change between 2020 and 2060.

A key thing that has changed between 2020 and 2060 is that there is equal pay for everyone no matter race and gender.
