Together we can make a difference! What do you know about unity? Unity is many people joining together to achieve goals and benefits for all people. In other words, unity is you and your fellow man working together to be better. Unity is what gives people a voice in decisions and events that directly affect them or their societies. Unity is when people unite to solve major problems that they can’t solve on their own.

Who needs this unity? We are the ones who need this union. Look around you; do you like the way you live, the place you live in, or even your life style? You really want to change, but you can’t do it alone. You need all people on earth to change the world, but you must start with yourself. We can change the world far better than the past generations, due to the fact that we have more technology and information. The hope is in our children, they can change the world. Do you know why? It is rooted in the fact that they are born in an environment in which everything is available in front of them and easily accessible.

        Children are the future; they must be free and involved in the environment, so they can think of how they can change it for the better. You could imagine what children can do to change the world when they unite. They can invent devices that can be useful to people in many ways. For example, a fourteen year old boy is working on a device that causes a personal computer to know the mood of the user. Children can create projects to make the streets cleaner. A few Egyptian kids made a campaign called, “Keep Your Country Clean”. This project is meant to clean streets, plant trees, recycle, and paint walls. This will make their country cleaner.

 I talked about how kids can change the world by using technology and cleaning the environment, but the most important point is cleaning the mind. Cleaning minds comes from the media. The media is important, as everything television says affects all people, especially children. The point is to use media in the right way. That is something children can do to affect other children and make our generations and upcoming generations prosper. To be able to use media in the right way, children should create television channels, websites, and magazines by children and for children. They must make sure that they deliver the right message to other children. These TV channels should contain a variety of educational programing to keep children in touch with the world’s news in an interesting way. It should talk about every thing from politics to the animal world, in order to make sure that children are in touch with every thing. With these TV channels, children could even create programs that teach young children how to be better people and to change the world. When children watch these programs and know it is made by others their ages, it will affect them in a positive way.

        Creating a more peaceful and compassionate world continues to be the most significant challenge of humankind. The only people who can win at this challenge are children. Parents must know how to shape their child's mind and, with this, change the world. Simply, I believe that when we raise children who are resourceful, resilient, and compassionate, they will make a difference in the world that they will inherit. I believe, the best way to raise such children is to give them the love and guidance their minds require. Children truly are the future, so God bless our future through our children!
