Re-Greening The World.. Runner-Up in Future Fragments Challenge. Top Story - January 2025.
Water sloshed around my ankles, though that was nothing new. My parents told tales of a world where there was much more land above sea level, where the North and South poles were much larger than they are now. A world with clean air. A World Before.

The Lessons Of World War III And How They Created Peace
I had just begun to learn about World War III (WWIII). It ended when I was a child. Too young to remember what life was like at that time.

The Unwanted Future
The year is 2050. Some historians attempted to document the events that lead to the end of civilization and humanity, but it was a futile attempt. After President Trump was assassinated in 2027, the United States had a second civil war. Millions of people were killed in riots, shootings, and road rage accidents. The hospitals were depleted of resources and doctors, as Corona Virus and various other viruses killed millions more. Energy sources (electric, oil, nuclear) began to fail as there were not enough educated and skilled engineers and technicians to maintain the nuclear plants or oil companies. Pollution began to create new viruses as acid rain began to kill the trees and plants. The air was toxic. The ozone gaps became worse. Global warming was keeping the temperatures above 95 degrees all over the world, all the time. There was no winter season anymore, and Spring and Autumn were not much different from Summer. The people who were leftover survivors suffered many physical ailments because the food and water had changed. The strongest survivors were murderers who had weapons and camping supplies. They would kill anyone or anything in their way for food or shelter.

Introduction Throughout human civilization, there were key cultural movements that had an impact on civilization as a whole. Each one played a key role in the advancement of human civilization. The Renaissance (14th–17th Century) inspired advancements in art, science, literature, and philosophy. The Enlightenment (17th–18th Century) emphasized reason, science, individualism, and skepticism of traditional authority, including monarchy and organized religion. Romanticism (Late 18th–Mid 19th Century) revolutionized art, literature, and music, emphasizing personal experience and nature. Realism (Mid–Late 19th Century) challenged romanticized views and highlighted social issues, with the depiction of everyday life and ordinary people without idealization. Modernism (Late 19th–Mid 20th Century) influenced art, literature, and architecture, reflecting a fragmented and rapidly changing world. Post-Modernism (Mid 20th Century–Present) challenged established norms in culture, media, and philosophy, while introducing skepticism, relativism, the deconstruction of grand narratives, and focusing on pluralism. The Harlem Renaissance (1920s–1930s) influenced civil rights movements, while celebrating African American culture, identity, and creativity.
