“All things considered, do you think the world is getting better or worse?” This is the question YouGov asked 18,235 people in a survey across several countries. According to their results, only 6% in the US, 4% in Great Britain, and 3% in France think the world is getting better. Some of modern artists support this point of view and draw ironic illustrations about today’s realities.

Although Bright Side is always trying to look at the world positively, we can’t deny that these images put us into deep thought.

Do you agree that our reality is as harsh as these illustrations? Do you think the world is getting better or worse? Share your opinions in the comments!
