The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better. - Our World in Data

It is wrong to think these three statements contradict each other. We need to see that they are all true to see that a better world is possible.

Home Child & Infant Mortality The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better. All three statements are true at the same time. Discussions about the state of the world too often focus on the first statement: The news highlights what is going wrong, rarely mentioning the positive developments in our country or the world as a whole. A pushback on this narrative takes it to the other extreme, which is equally damaging. Solely communicating the progress that the world has achieved becomes unhelpful, or even repugnant, when it glosses over the problems people are facing.
