Tion in 50 years

In 50 years I will be 63 and I will live in Maryland. I will be retired from being a health entrepreneur and hoped to have fixed illness, HIV, and AIDS. There will still be violence between hoods. I think there will be flying cars and people will dress differently. The world might look like trash and a dump, and people will be ill because the streets are dirty if people don’t work to fix problems in DC. I will be mad because I don’t want my son going to some dirty school or some dirty place. To prevent violence, the government should put more protection in the streets and George Bush should not hate on all black people. Changes should happen now so that more people can not get hurt or killed.

THE WORLD IN 50 YEARS H.W.

In 50 years I’ll be on the block getting money. Cars will be flying. D.C will look the same. It will be sad because of police brutality and police killing.
We should train police officers to be more careful and not to plant drugs. Change should happen now. Change should happen because if it doesn’t the world will be the same. There is too much killing and it is depressing.

the world 50 years from now, by delonte

I will be 64 years old and living in D.C. I’ll be Chilling on my porch yelling at my grandchildren. The world will be more polluted and there will be no healthy trees and more disgusting water. I think nothing will be the same. In 2057 there will be more buildings and better looking streets. I think that the police will be worse and to make things better they should hire police that are against police brutality. In 50 years the world should be more safe, less polluted, and there will be opportunities for everyone. change should happen A.S.A.P.

the outcome of the World in 50 years

In the next 50 years, I will be 65 years old. I will live in New York City after going to cooking school. I will get a good job and stay there for at least 5 years. After, I will return to D.C. to start a boxing career. But when I come back to D.C. in 50 years, there may not be a D.C. to come back to because of police brutality against the people of Washington. I think police behave in that manner because there is not a big enough punishment for them. One to three months is not enough time. Sometimes, they aren’t punished at all. If the city continues to increase in police brutality there might be a war between the police and the citizens of Washington. There will be an increase in riots, police deaths, shootings. Everyone will fight each other. Basically, there will be no order. When I think about the possibilities, it makes me sick to my stomach. We have one of the highest crimes rates in the country and the police are not helping to stop the problem. If the police can’t do their job, who will?
How do I think we can change it? People need to learn to ask question first, not shoot and then ask questions later when it’s too late. The city should also increase the punishment for police brutality in the District of Columbia. Police need to be held to a higher standard. 10 to 15 years ought to make them think about police brutality a little more seriously.

I am going to be 63 year old .I would live with my cousins in Florida. I would be working on my own business. I think it will change because I would think positive. I would still the same but in a different ways like be on time in my work do thing I never did when I was young. Washington DC will look clean if people start cleaning and changed some stupid laws, like 13 years old get lock up because I thing is not fair people are accusing kids for something they did not do.
If people did not talk about it HIV/Aid or other needs I think this world will go crazy more people dying and people would not listen to officer and they would think that these people are not worth it to do good things for them.
I would help people with disabilities and help the homeless with clothing and shoes and a place to sleep and people who help fix the world. I will feel happy that I just help poor people. I think so the world would be a better place not only for me or my kids for every one in the world that would like it to be a better place for does who think that they still have a chance to believe on there self .When people start realizing that the world could be a better, safety ,helpful, place for every one to become what they want .

Curfew Restraints

a curfew is a time that is given by the law or the judge. its against the law to not go by the time the law gives you. you have to stay in the house or a program after school. The curfew started in the 1890s because of immigration and now because they don't want juveniles to get in trouble. Some argue that probation is good so that people don't repeat crime. I feel that probation is wrong because you have to sit in the house with nothing to do. For instance, it keeps me from participating in the band and learning how to play the snare drums. These programs are good because they help me learn new things and they keep me active and in shape.

Pollution in the Anacostia

The Anacostia River is one of the dirtiest rivers in the United States. It runs through Washington, D.C. For a long time, the laws that are suppose to make sure the river stays clean have been avoided or ignored. Many things have caused the pollution in the Anacostia, including development, highway runoff and urban pollution. The pollution is affecting both humans and animals. Swimming in the river is not allowed for people, and fish are dying. However, there is hope for the Anacostia. Treatments to try to clean out the river include digging out toxins and sealing off parts of the river. I think we should have a cleaner river and a better smell.
