The world has become a safer place now than it was ten years ago. Do you agree?
Ten years ago, people hoped that the future generations will have a better, safer place to live in. Ten years on, it has seemed that their hopes have been fulfilled. As Martin Luther once said, “Everything that is done in the world is done by hope.” In the world now, crimes rates have been decreasing steadily and the world has been inventing new protection equipment.
