Room 101 is an imaginary place where people have the opportunity to deposit their hates and despair. When I was first told that I could have the opportunity to get rid of absolutely anything in I would like from this world, I immediately thought of school, but then I remembered all the great things that happened here. In this oral or presentation I intend to tell you all about my dislikes and hates, and tell you my reasons for putting these things for a lifetime in room 101.
The first thing I have chosen to put in room 101 is crime. Crime is one of the many reasons why there is even hate, evil and suffering in our world today. Every year someone dies of abuse, murder or similar crimes. We might sit there and
think “This has nothing to do with us, and it is not happening to anyone we know or care about, so why should we take action?” Somewhere else around the world, someone is committing a crime, big or small; it will most likely hurt someone. When someone is murdered, their family and many people around them suffer and grieve, because of one selfish person. We never know how just one action can change or destroy someone’s life. If we decide to stand there and watch crime happening, it will cause a lot of pain and suffering to others. We might just sit there and think, “This doesn’t concern us” but really, it does. If we don’t take action and help someone else, there will be no one left to take action to help us. As they say, what goes around comes around.
Do the right thing. Think about someone besides yourself, and then maybe this world will become a safer place to live in.
The second thing I have chosen to put in room 101 is cancer. There are many diseases out there in this world today but personally I think cancer is one of the worst. The reason why I put cancer in room 101 is because it takes so many people away from us and this horrible disease often gets discovered a little too late, and by then it is extremely difficult to cure. Approximately 7.6 million people die from cancer each year according to an article, which was published by the American Cancer Society. This widespread disease will makes you seem like you have beat it down but it always finds its way to come back and get you. Another reason why I put cancer in room 101 is because it’s a painful process, emotionally and physically and to see someone you love or care about suffer from this awful disease it hurts you as well. I personally think putting cancer in room 101 will save so many innocent lives.
There is plenty of food in the world for everyone, but the problem is that hungry people are trapped in severe poverty. This is why the third thing I have chosen to chuck into room 101 is poverty. According to the United Nations, about 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes. This is one person every three and a half seconds, and unfortunately, it is children who die most often. People in poverty lack the money to buy food to nourish themselves, and being constantly malnourished, they become weaker and sick. This makes them work less, which then makes them even poorer and hungrier. Poverty causes many problems and issues, and even though we try to raise money to help the people in need, we cannot afford to raise other people.
We all have those few things that really irritate us and these are the 3 things I would much rather have them disappear in this world for a lifetime. I hope you all would somewhat agree with me.
