We live in the modern world, the developed world. The civilised world. But do any of us actually know what this means? When looking up the word “civilised” in the dictionary, the description reads: “to have a high state of culture and developed in both the social and technologic side”.

We dream of a world without wars, poverty and oppression, where all are valued and free to live our lives. We hope for a world of play and happiness beyond the dull monoculture of this one. Just because we have more scientific breakthroughs and are electronically progressed does not mean we are a better society than we were in the past. Many events in the present day reflect my option that we are a less civilised nation than fifty years ago.
