This poem represents my world view because with time everything gets older and decays. It will all eventually become dust and nothing. I believe that my world views will change and eventually disappear because I will no longer exist. Another pandemic or another war could change my world view drastically. I will probably find out that the world will find a way to ruin everything. I feel like every couple of years my world view gets darker because of things that happen to me. People making promises and not following through, people I know suffering from a bunch things, learning about the Middle Ages and how dark people could be, learning about the first two world wars, pandemics and wars happening now.

Johnnie was telling Ponyboy to stay young and good. My worldview might change to the positive if something similar happens like when I got two dogs in two years. If the world would just stop literally trying to rip itself then maybe I could see the gold in everyone.

It’s the End of the World

My World View

Geography

• Our BC geography is so nice people like outdoor activities
• I have been taught by the school system and my parents that nature is better than anything else and I should spend all my time in it 
• Everyone needs a good rain jacket and waterproof everything
• From experience. If you live in BC you know what I mean. Anytime I think that it won’t rain and don’t take a jacket it will rain and I’ll get soaking wet and yelled at by my parents. 
• Our geography makes us think the environment is important
• We live on the side of a mountain. In the morning we can ski on the top of a hill and go for a swim in the afternoon. This geography feels like one of a kind. 

• Time

• If you have a family you should get more time off work to spend with them
• I hate it when I’m home alone and I have to wait for my mom or dads to get home. I understand why they can’t be home right away.
• I like when people are early to events
• If I’m right on time I have no buffer and I will panic because I don’t know where I’m going. 
• We should have more online services so we don’t waste our time in lines
• I have heard of horror stories of going to the dmv. I do not like waiting in line because it is boring.

• Beliefs

• I believe in God but I don’t consider myself a Christian
• I would like to think there is somewhere to go when everything is over and not just a void of darkness
• I think you should be kind to everyone
• If everyone is unkind then no will go anywhere in life. Life will be about revenge. I see that all the countries are at each other’s throats 
• I believe in heaven
• We have to go somewhere. You can’t just destroy energy. That’s impossible.

• Society

• Taxes should be lower because the government is wasting tax payer dollars
• I see what the government does with our money. They wastes on things that no one asks for building more road they should be building more homes and making jobs near those homes so people doesn’t have to drive as much. 
• Everyone should be treated equally by the law
• I have seen lots of news about cops being corrupt. George Floyd 
• Many governments are corrupt
• I hear the news and grown ups talking about the things our government has done. Chinese spy balloon, Russia bullying Ukraine

• Values

• I value having family time
• Playing games and sharing food, giving hugs. I feel happy, safe and calm when I am, with my family.
• I think having friends and being good to them is very important
• It makes me feel good to have lots of friends. My friends help me with stuff and make me laugh. I try to do the same. 
• I value peace over war
• War is just wasting time and resources. 
• Economy
• We should go back to using metals instead of just paper money
• Paper money is worth nothing. It is backed by beliefs and propaganda. I want the gold standard back. It is actually worth something. 
• Women and men should be paid the same money for the same job
• Woman are still paid less than men. I think that’s stupid. 
• So far I think capitalism has proven effective compared to communism. Communism in theory would be great but in practice it has gone horribly wrong. 
• What I know about Communism is that everyone is treated the same and is equal. But what I have heard is that it has horribly wrong because leaders are psychopaths like Stalin,Putin and KimJong Un.
• Knowledge
• I think the school system needs an update. A picture of an average classroom in the 1940s is pretty much the same as an average today with just a grainy filter on it.
• People like me (learning disabled) are now accepted in school and the same projects for every kid doesn’t work anymore. Everyone should get what they need to learn.
• I think university should be free if you can get into it.
• Students should not need loans. Knowledge should be free. I want to go to trade school where I get trained on the job.
• Everyone should get super cheap internet services in their home.
• Humans feel better when they are connected to each other. You shouldn’t have to chose between groceries and being connected to the world.
