A crash course in changing the world.
Citizen X has brought up the new Online payment/transaction system funded by the World Bank and the United Nations where new regional chapters give anyone online access to this new online system. Now anyone anywhere can directly trade or exchange goods/money without dealing with the hassle of long exchange systems, and more importantly this opens areas typically without this kind of internet access to these features so everyone can get involved on the global market.

When I'm 100 years old my indigenous knowledge I would pass on is only lead people into not only what you can do, but what you will do with them. Telling people to do something can be done by anyone with a voice. But really leading people through something being with them in the hard times and the good, is when people truly learn and follow someone. So whether is being a leader militarily, being a school teacher, or even a coach lead those you are trusted with through what needs to be…

The best way for emergency communication in an urban environment can be tricky because not all urban areas are as developed as others. So you would want to build in a multi-tiered system that would broadcast emergency information, via television, radio, and cellular device if applicable. All public areas should be equipped with these devices to help communicate what could vital life saving information during a time of crisis in a hectic urban environment.

This is a pretty significant step for women's rights. China has had a pretty harsh history in regards to how women have been treated in rural China and very strict political limitations in general. Seeing a development like this would be unimaginable when I was growing up in the 1990's. This is a very larger population that had been kept in the dark politically speaking that is finally found a voice.…

The future of money needs to be accessible to everyone, so the UN and the World Bank should put forth a joint effort in making more, and better reach local currency exchanges that bring people and their resources closer together than ever before. To setup regional charters that help the flow of currency from nation to another so not only large aide from government to government could be applied but one community in nation A could send money to a community in nation B.

Ten years from now I will be in a political job assisting with people in the midlands of South Carolina particularly the rural working class and farmers. As the class of people that feed the nation I find that it is imperative that we assist with making sure they produce as much food as possible. I would like to support local scientists as well that are leading in research on how to produce food more efficiently. I will also be participating in missions to foreign countries to help people…

Imagine Charleston in 2020. The city is going to be much larger than it is today. The amount of people moving here is stunning. Year after year more people are drawn here. This is great for the economy and adds strain in the chance of natural disasters. In the year 2020 I am imagining that Charleston will have in the works a mass transit system to move people in and out of the city faster than today. This will increase corporate productivity as well as boost the economies of the surrounding…

The area in which our city is located calls for resilience in regards to hurricanes. Mother nature has hit us before and the city needs the resilience to be able to withstand it again. By creating extra shelters as well as informing many of the evacuation routes that are posted throughout the city we have been adding to the effectiveness. The issue this city has is the population of homeless, the city needs to create a system to get them out of the area as well.

With the world the way it is and globalization increasing so is our interconnectivity. I feel that social media has now become the best way to reach a wide scale audience in regards to making positive changes. Take the ice bucket challenge of last year. This has also been used against war criminals to show what actually is taking place. This helps the world as a wh*** see the truth behind what is going on.

Iceland is a country that is closing the gender gap faster than any other. It is a country to look towards as a leader. Such a positive world impact could be made if more countries followed their plan. The fight for women's equality can be helped with Iceland at the front.

If you click my link to my custom map using Google My Maps you will see the addition of a Emergency Shelter to be used in case of a tidal wave or other event from the sea. Included are new emergency routes on what will be an expanded highway to allow traffic to flow in the event of an emergency.

When I'm 100 years old, we will most likely not be using helicopters anymore and leadership will be much different. My indigenous knowledge will be home to use leadership for good and how helicopters were a valuable tool in the Army when I joined and just a handy piece of equipment for the world in general.

I think this is a good case study because if we develop more energy efficient homes or workplaces then we can divert excess energy towards other things. Also we can conserve and use less fuel to produce energy.

100 years from now one of the important pearls of wisdom that I would feed back would be focused on the environment, especially global warming because 100 years into the future I imagine that this is going to become a real issue. focusing on the cutback in carbon emissions as well as other atmospheric pollutants is what is going to save our atmosphere.

The 1983 trip to Fuji was a case study I looked at and really enjoyed because it highlight on some of the economic variations that a culture has to undergo. They shared had capitalism was a powerful competitor and how economic and political governance are very important aspects for any society to function properly.

Imagine 8 Indigenous
Today, I am 100 years old. These eyes have seen: travel to Mars, the unification of the world’s currency and the fall of the Middle East and the rise of Western civilization. The events have been hard won for the people of the world. Remember, we were at one time without water and food; we traveled to great spheres in the sky for a better world. Take care of each world we have there may be no more.

The tribal customs of Afghanistan are under threat today as the US tries to bring westernization to the tribal areas of Afghanistan in order to keep the Taliban at bay. Although the Taliban are bad for these people westernization can also be detrimental on their culture. They should be allowed to maintain their customs and way of life. The most important lesson is that their culture should be preserved. There are not many ancient cultures left in the world.
