For my community, I would like to put a traffic light in this accident prone intersection by my house.
For the country, I would like to fix the cafeteria food system in schools nationwide.
In the world, I would like combat the international issue of human trafficking. (which is less feasible than the other 2)

For my community, where do I start, Well what'd I'd like the most is for someone to get rid of all the men who just sit at the corner store, lagging around and staring at women going by. Real intimidating. I'd like the cops to patrol the corners where these guys normally stay at and get into huge groups. I mean these are young men in their 20's or older, why aren't they working or in school? It's not like this area is completely deprived of recreational centers and job opportunities..I feel it's just that they don't want to do anything with themselves..so how do we encourage them to try and do something?
For our country, little kids becoming obese at a really really young age. It's really unhealthy and I remember hearing how they are trying to create new programs through schools for kids who are obese to exercise in a fun way that captures their attention. But I also think the problem can lie with the caretakers of the children too.
For our world, the great amount of environmental problems that we are experiencing from air pollution and contamination in highly industrial areas, where miners are subject to so many fumes that can cause alot of damage to the physical body and the insides. Really bad air quality that's harmful to breathe in. And these problems take place all over the world . For example Kenya, recycles old lead batteries from cars which contributes to lead poison.

A change I would like to make in my community is to make the streets cleaner. There are a lot of people that hang around in the streets around my building and they throw whatever they eat on the floor and their garbage as well. I sometimes see empty bottles of beer lying around and I have even seen chicken bones lying around. It isn't exactly sanitary.
A change I want to make for the country is to make sure everyone has the opportunity to get health insurance. No one should be deprived of their health insurance because of pre-existing conditions. Everyone should be able to afford health insurance in my opinion.
A change I want to make for the world would have to be stopping nuclear proliferation. The use of nuclear weapons only causes an arms race between countries and that elevates to war and the killing of innocent people.

One change I would like to make in my community I would like to make is to make the small trees on the streets cleaner. The streets themselves are clean but the trees are filled with dog poo, empty glass bottles and other small bits of trash.
One change I would like to make for my country in the next year is to promote a cleaner country. We can do this by promoting greener jobs, use less natural resources and more renewable resources.
One change I would like to make for the world is to try and bring peace to the Israeli Palestinian conflict. There fight has gone on for too long and it will eventually lead to the destruction of either one or both groups of people.

For my community, I would like the MTA to modernize their equipments for subway stations such as adding elevators for those who are in wheelchairs.
For the country, I would like as much funding go into the education system as possible.
For the world, I would like a set protocol that should be able to slow down or reverse the process of global warming.

I would like to insure that the youth are more aware of the political positions both nationally, and locally. This is the only way for them to understand who is leading them, representing them, and what their political agendas.
For the community I would like the local government to make some laws that insure people don’t rip the garbage bags in front of buildings looking for items, because the surrounding area gets filled with trash, and smells.
I would like to continue to inspire youth to vote, because only through voting can one choose a leader they feel will be appropriate to represent America.
I think it’s important to continue inspiring people to go green, and inform them about global warming.

For my community, I want to configure the lobby to allow residents to enter in one path and visitors to enter in another path. That way, those who are visitors could show identification and I could know that my front-yard isn't invaded by those who are looking for trouble
For this country, I would like for them to design a better food system for cafeterias in High Schools. I highly disapprove that we are eating anything but healthy food. At times I believe I'm eating expired and stale dairy and meat products.
In the world, I want to further examine into the war in Afghanistan and discover ways to prevent more chaos. However if this seems to be an imaginative state, then I would like to go into the Drug trafficking in South American countries and how the chaos erupts to different family members and gang members.

Changes I would like to make for my community are putting cameras that catch cars that zoom through red lights. It happens often, but I don't think people notice because there are a lot of trees. I also think that there should be more lighting around certain areas near parks, because it is too dark and dangerous.
For the country I think that we should fix our foreign relation issues. I mean, at times it seems that we aren't open enough about other countries and so that's why things happen. Also, I know that education is already taken care of, but some of world seems a bit ignorant sometimes.
For the world human rights issues is a big one for me. I'm for all issues, but mostly I'm interested in being able to give aid to other countries, kind of how the Red Cross is involved and Amnesty International.

This year, I want to make change in my community, basically in my school community through uniting it, and by helping raise funds. In the country I want to make people more aware of the damage they cause to the environment. In the world I want to see healthcare and get better in cleaning the environment. Global warming needs to be fixed as well.
