We have control over our future in many ways. Our individual decisions every day dictate smaller details about our own future, but other bigger choices can affect the rest of the world. Things like recycling, a kind gesture to a stranger, or choosing to go to school are ways we have control over our future. We can make a difference in the world even if it is a small one simply by speaking our minds or writing about something we care about. Other times, we have no control over our future, because other factors are making those decisions for us. The weather, some technology, and other people are examples of things that not only we can't control, but could control us. Every choice we make in our daily lives is not placed in a vacuum where nothing can affect it as it takes place. Everyone else's choices are constantly effecting everything that happens in our lives. A great example of this is traffic. We depend on everyone on the road to make safe decisions so that we can get to where we need to be safely and on time. The government and other big institutions will in some ways play a big role in controlling the future. These organizations are made up of many people who will eventually decide together important decisions for our country dictating how our lives will be like.
