GLOBAL WARMING

Wish the environment heals completely, effects of global warming vanish and our planet comes back to its original glory. Namrata Malghani

I wish I could wipe the Corona virus off of the face of Earth. Sany Annie Sunney

NO COSMETIC SURGERY

Reverse the invention of cosmetic surgery. There would have been no bench marks for beauty and people would have no option to alter their looks. Everyone would have been considered beautiful in their own special way. Shikha Dixit

I would change the way people perceive beauty. Each one is beautiful in their own way, and stereotyping beauty creates soo much hate in this world. Sundus Amin

NATURE

Restructure our planet into a heavenly garden as it would guard our biodiversity by providing a habitat for endangered animals and increase the lifespan of our abode. Yoga Sudharshini L

I want this world to be free from suffering. Want this world to be filled with happiness, love and stress free life. Preeti Pradhan Patnaik

RACISM

I feel nowadays racism is the reason many people foster hatred towards many things which often lead to protests and even deaths of innocent people. Shibu George

One of the things I’d like to change would surely be the racial mindset of people. It’s time everyone realises that no one is different from you and everyone has the same right. Sunanda Mohan

I would choose to stop racism. It is not fair to judge people just by their skin color or where they are from, to look at someone just once and decide that they are not nice. Myah Rajkumar

I would want to change racist people’s mindset and all of us would just live in peace. Javeria Zaman

People’s attitude towards the use of plastics. We know the hazards relating to the use of plastics. Despite this, people continue using it and discard them everywhere Anahita

I would like to live in a world where biodegradable plastic is easier to manufacture, so single use plastic is banned. Pippo Caciocavallo IMPROVE MYSELF

I’d like to change myself for the better. Improvement is a perpetual process; it requires sheer dedication and perseverance. The gains might be small, but they do affect us in big ways. Manjusha Mallupeddu PREPARING MENUS

For most housewives, ’what to cook today’ is usually paramount on their minds. To think of a wholesome menu for three meals a day and 365 days a year is a difficult job. I wish there was a tablet we could take that would do the job equally well. Christine G SUFFERINGS AT OLD AGE

An end for everyone in this world that is not difficult for themselves and others. After living a contented life of 7 to 8 decades, if one gets bedridden, the sufferings they undergo are painful. Sri TREE COLOURS

I would change all suffering and pain in the world to joy and happiness. Shaila Pinto ONLINE LEARNING

I hate online learning; it’s just I like to see my teacher and friends and I like to write, not just type, type, type. Also because of watching devices, I keep getting styes. In fact many of my friends have started to use spectacles because of time spent watching the screen. Ayesha Arif Adenwala TIME

If I could change one thing in this world that would definitely be the amount of time people have for one other. Today, people are busy fulfilling their goals but they don’t have time to spend with their loved ones, I would love to see people spending time with family and friends. Pranjal Agarwal SMARTPHONE

I’d like a world without smart mobiles.

The advent of phones has reduced the amount of time people spend talking face to face with family and friends. Instead today people use the phone to watch Youtube movies, play games, etc. Priya Arun POLITICIANS

I am desperate to change illiterate politicians who have demolished the meaning of politics for their personal growth. They have polluted democracy. Asiyah Sakina Hitawala EMPATHY

To empathize and understand one’s situation when there’s nobody by their side without being judgemental is the change I want to bring in this world and maybe then this world would be a better place for you and I. Sarah Ann Shibu

I wish there is enough love around the world, among communities and families so that we are able to come together and resolve our problems rather than end up being distant. Kiara Ranjan Matthew BE THE CHANGE

As Mahatma Gandhi once said “Be the change you wish to see in the world”. Though we have everything we need and we live comfortably, there are a few things that if changed, could make a difference. Sumaiyya Khan MAKE MILLIONAIRES

I would eliminate all poverty and try my best to make everyone millionaires. Syed Khulayd

Baring a few, I find politicians to be evil and vile and the root cause of so much unhappiness in the world. Most are only interested in feathering their own nest. Michael Guzder
