"The State of the World is...."
The State of the World is a very violent one. From the war in Iraq to a war between Russia and Georgia. From suicide bombers in Iraq to a killing chemical in baby formula from China. The natural disasters are also very violent. Hurricanes such as Gustav and Ike are killing thousands of people cause more damage when we still haven't even recovered from Hurricane Katrina. Harsh hurricanes are also about to hit Cuba. The world is not a peaceful and safe place right now.-Sabrina =}

The state of the world is the way it has always been. Violent, selfish, unhealthy, corrupt, dangerous. Instead of getting along with our fellow neighbors, we make threats to try to scare on another. Everyone is power hungry, and this is why we have so much corruption in the governments all over the world. We have to remember that we share this planet with other countries, so it's our responsibility (as a world, all countries included) to end such violent crisis that plays out all over the world. ---> **Karla** <---

The State of the World is going down the drain! All the things that is occurring in the world, like dead babies from milk formula contamination, economic crisis, natural disaster, war, and etc. The world is becoming a harder place to live in. All you hear about is murder, war, conflicts, people suffering. People are having to suffer from other people’s mistakes. Everything is getting worse. -Sangay


 * The state of the world is** heading towards eternal perdition. The behavior and actions of corrupt governments are detrimental to the society. We can't allow ourselves to be beguiled by the media, our focus needs to be on the issues that affect us all. The world needs to come together and open their eyes and take action to improve our dysfunctional society. -Andrea

The state of the world is...

...in bad shape. ...on the verge of WWIII. ...ripping it self apart. ...entertaining to read about. -Nelson Ruiz

The State of the World is ... - trapped in middle of the eye of the hurricane, as countries are in war, citizens are murdering each other, nations are in debt, and multi-millionare corporations are poisoining their clients indirectly. - in alarm, as we are waiting for the next spontaneous event (more like tragedy) to occur. - in deep, deep trouble, and if we don't do something soon, we'll reach hell. Kari Morales

.:The State of the World is.............................................:.

on the verge of being nothing. At this point so many things can happen that can end this world completely. I agree with Andrea that our world should come together because if we don't this world will end. But the state of the world is mainly mysterious because we don't know what can happen tomorrow and we haven't completely discovered whats left in this world. .:DAVID:.

The State of The World is... crazy. I cant believe most of the things that are happening. From the natural disasters to the destructed government. I see everything going down hill and every country is getting worse. NOW is when the governments want to realize all the distructions and want to do something about it now that it seems helpless.I just wish things would get better and that the world was a little more fair and peacful. -Rashel-

The State of the World Is... - complex and riddled with issues. - mesmerized with terrorism and the like. - in FEAR of the sometimes inevitable. - seeming to enjoy bullshit sensational news in contrast to news that really matters. - not going to take long until global governments feel the need to track our every move. - well on it's way to full on DESTRUCTION. Shante!

//The State of the World Is....//** CoUrTnEy =)
 * marked by corruption, as many are guided by self-interest and money
 * in maelstrom, where governments that are instituted to protect the best interests of its peoples are more concerned with their own
 * chaotic as many try to break from the norm to assert their freedom of expression
 * in decadence and there is nothing we can do to fix it


 * The state of the world is** chaotic due to all thats happening right now. Terrorists are still commiting acts of terror as expected without any retaliation. Bombings are still occuring in different parts of the world. Babies are dying and more are getting sick with the milk contamination in china. The world is going down at this very moment.

The state of the world is.... all about money: money to feed, money to help, money to save, money to kill, money to plan, money to decide.... in peril, because we aren't living in such safe times in complete upheaval and turmoil (in terms of mother nature and the consecutive natural disasters) CORRUPT

The state of the world is... on the verg on its ups and downs. Everything that I have read so far in the Times. There are situations where people in large, that are having negative affects like the attacks in Pakistan and the bombing at the Embassy of Yemen. I think that the citizens within these countires are unable to do anything to protect themselves. They suffer because the people that want to take action to benifit their own cause. On the other hand there are some situations where people are bettering themselves. Like in an article that I read, women in Afganistan are able to drive and act on their own. Overall, the world has certain situations for certain people. I think that there is smoe good that is coming in the world, but it is taking time to happen, but there is nothing that we could really do to change the siutation over night. -Ashley Hamilton =D

The state of the world is hectic. Most of the countries really look out for themselves, but when they are in a ton of trouble, they seek out for other countries help. Usually other countries aren't concerned about each other unless it will affect them in the future as well. Even though at times we seems alright, there's always something going on. -Whitney

The state of the world is very dangerous and unpredictable. It is unstable and also hurtful to many others. It is the participation of some trying to make it a better place, and others trying to make it disastrous. The state of the world can also be a place of information and news. It is also greedy and mischievous where war is inevitable for the reason that people desire more than they already have. -Roberto

- Powerful -In a Economic Struggle -Uncontrollable -Unstable (Vincent)
 * The State of the World Is**

THE STATE OF THE WORLD IS...

 * HORRIBLE, JUST PLAIN OLD HORRIBLE. ITS DANGEROUS, HECTIC, AND NEAR BREAKING POINT. THERE ARE TONS OF PEOPLE DYING EACH DAY FOR REASONS THAT ARE ABSURD. CHILDREN ARE ALSO BECOMING MURDERERS, OWNING GUNS AND JOINING GANGS. WITH THE WAY THE WORLD IS FUNCTIONING NOW, AS NELSON SAID, I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF THERE WAS A WORLD WAR III (KRISTINA)**

THE STATE OF THE WORLD IS...
Dangerously close to being inhabitable. The world is pretty much self destructing so it can rebuild itself, and for people living in this world that isn't good. Everything is beginning to hit the fan, and the world system can't fix these all at once so it is destroying itself slowly. From stock markets, to global warming, this is finally true to the expression "hell on earth."

Helpless At a free for all. Survival of the fittest. History repeating itself. Corrupt in a way that will soon become uncontrollable. (Marcela)
 * The State of the World is:**

1.) one that is unstable and in shambles. 2.) not what it used to be in terms of community. 3.) a violent one where people live in a constant state of fear. 4.) one where society is based upon and revolves around the aspect of money. 5.) one that is crumbling under the powers of capitalism. ....(Gabriel)
