The environment, as broad as that sounds. I'm slightly optimistic about the "pulling together in the same direction" and the recent debate about climate change by people in different parts of the world. I say that with a hint of cynicism as I believe there could have been a concerted effort long time ago(of course, that is, if any of it is to be believed!). As Coldersky pointed out as well, freedom of speech is something I have taken for granted over the years and the tranquility in which we seem to lead our lives in the west in comparison to the warton nations you mentioned(one of which I was born in).
