My personal experience of living in Pakistan, one of the most collaborative communities in the world, has mainly influenced my perception regarding the safety of our global society. A lot like today’s generation of students coming out of examination halls with deceiving expressions, safety, the foundation of every community, has four primary values, which in the following are known as the four faces of a safer future.

One of the very first and focused aspects that influenced my perspective regarded the inhabitants of the coming future: today’s youth. To ensure what is, in my opinion, a focal point of safety, the improvement of intellect throughout the world, all people at a young age must go through the process of acquiring knowledge through education. Immediately, we could conclude that to provide this education to students around the globe, schools, libraries, universities, and other educational places are absolutely necessary. I believe that most countries have completed this reformation with close to almost formidable success; however, the annual attendance of students isn’t too pleasant. According to UNICEF data, in 2016 63 million children across the globe were out of school, for multiple reasons, like the safety features or security within the facility or financial issues of the parents. In my opinion, a safer future within education would mean having every school purposefully built in order for the parents to be worry-free regarding the safety of their children. Simultaneously, a more systematic program towards the provision of financial aid should be in place, to encourage parents to send their children to school.

Another face has to do with health. In my opinion, this is one of the most prime yet basic foundations to secure a safer future. Taking into consideration the increasing population, I truly believe that the requirements of a safer future would be incomplete without an adequate supply of health facilities. Every health facility must be provisioned with the adequate equipment, along with qualified medical practitioners. Furthermore, throughout the globe, there is a common problem of how the lack of proper sewerage systems are affecting the health of many, along with disturbing several nearby societies. In my opinion, the future that we are aiming for is a sanitary one, where one’s health isn’t put at the mercy of unhygienic conditions.

After defining a safer future with its health and education, economic development is a large necessity, as a lack of commercial activities would deteriorate any progress in social development. To describe a safer future with these economic attributes, the majority of the population must be employed. Clearly, the best way of doing this is to increase the number of job opportunities by promoting businesses and industries. Furthermore, another benefit which brings us closer to filling the needs for a safer future is how the ultimate dilemma of poverty and homelessness can be solved with the increase in people becoming employed.

Regarding the environment, I believe that by using more renewable resources, like solar energy and wind power, planting trees, and conserving water, we can decrease pollution, and thus, ensure a green environment for future generations. In conclusion, I strongly believe that the central values, traits, and ideas influenced by my community have played a big role in shaping my view of the world around me. In fact, as Marcus Tullius Cicero says: “The safety of the people shall be the highest law.”
