I have a dream for better world

I was watching Martin Luther King's famous 'I have a dream' speech and I was so much inspired by his thoughts and vision that I decided to write one such speech in my own words. The world is beautiful and we are blessed with so many things that we can't even imagine about living without them. This world is for us and we are destined to explore it for the betterment of humanity. We all are humans and we should be proud of ourselves (Alexander, 2005).

The world is changing and the change is evident. Our scientists have worked selflessly and have discovered medicines for the cure. We are blessed with technology.

The phenomenon of economic globalization has fostered the idea of racism and discrimination among countries and subgroups of people living in these countries (Barendt, 2005).

Homelessness and unavailability of proper health care facilities have also added to the woes of people, who have been already deprived of their basic rights.
