Somewhereville Middle School Plans

PLAN ONE

In order for our class to "make the world a better place," we need to develop a campaign designed to solicit funds from major corporations. We need to go on television and make an appeal to people to get involved in worthwhile projects, as well as write letters to our congressmen and congresswomen to encourage them to support efforts that are designed to help. We need to attend town meetings in order to get the word out, and perhaps even take our campaign to the streets using signs and demonstrations. Said another way, we just need to appeal to those people who have the money and the political power and then things will change for the better.

PLAN TWO

In order for our class to "make the world a better place," we need to de-emphasize competition in our school and society. For example, we need to demand that our Principal and Student Council work to do away with competitive sports and designer clothes, making everyone more equal. We need to campaign for uniforms in the school. We need to campaign for metal detectors and surveillance devices in all public buildings, not just our school. We need to encourage our government to monitor our nation's borders. We need to reduce taxes and enhance security, and require all businesses and the jobs they offer to be within our own nation's borders. Said another way we need to make sure everyone is safe, secure, and employed.

PLAN THREE

In order for our class to "make the world a better place," we each need to do some kind act(s) right where we are. Perhaps the kind act(s) that we do might serve as an example and encourage others to do a kind act of their own. They in turn might then encourage others and before long it is possible that more and more people will be doing more and more things to "make our world a better place." Said another way, we have to each do whatever we can do, wherever we find ourselves, to make the world a better place and then perhaps others will eventually decide that they can do
something, too.
