Please describe your vision of a world that works for everyone.
A world that works for everyone is a world where there is equality in the distribution of information, wealth and power, a world where there free of labels and stereotypes, a world free of hate, poverty and hunger. A world that works for everyone is a world where conflicts are basis for re-shaping our society positively.
What do you see as the most pressing problems facing the world today?
The most pressing problems facing the world today are inequality, poverty, violence and elitism. Among all, the most pressing issue facing the world is inequality; this singular phenomenon is an underlying trigger of all other factors affecting the world today. Inequality in the distribution of power and resources is responsible for most of the world’s most deadly violent conflicts. Gender inequality has created marginalization of the feminine gender which in developing countries is responsible for poverty levels.
How do you feel these problems could best be solved?
The best way to address to address these pressing problems is to establish systematic blueprints that further addresses the colossal inequality level among people especially in developing countries. Developing countries must be seen as projects that needs nursing rather than as projects that needs to be exploited. These systematic global blueprint should address the concept of an all-inclusive socio-economical strategy to transform the world.
