  Answer to all these questions

• Making the world a better place

  Being just less selfish. Thinking that who is different from us, is not an enemy to fight, but a friend to welcome. Make more love and less war!

  internet give to all of us the opportunity to make this world big as ping pong ball, so we've the chance to be in touch with people all around the globe, we can read the news from all over, we can understand what is going on on every part of the planet, but we've to be able to use this, to make this world a perfect place where to live

  The hope of a better future for everyone never dies, so let's roll up our sleeves and do something to be part of this big change

• My opinion on human nature

  i belive that human nature is good, are our desires, not necessities, that turn this nature into bad. We live in a society where are the desires the ones that we want to fullfill not understanding that as soon as we did, there will be another one showing up and make us sad, because we can not fullfill. Instead if we are able to fullfill our necessities we can feel happy and more relaxed, ergo better person

• I feel concerned about...

  The growing of racism, intollerance, and all this movment that would like to restore dictatorship all over the world

• A trick or piece of advice
