Davos World Economic Forum

Recently was held the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland like every year since its creation in 1971 by Klaus Martin Schwab.
What is World Economic Forum?
The World Economic Forum is an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging leaders in partnerships to shape global, regional and industry agendas. Over the course of its 38-year history, the World Economic Forum has achieved a proud record of accomplishments in advancing progress on key issues of global concern.
Now that we know what world economic forum is, I can talk more deeply about this organization.
WEF useful or useless?
The WEF brings the most brilliant minds to the forum to exchange ideas and opinions. I believe that this kind of activity is beneficial in the way that all these minds get solutions to problems.
This forum is always a review all the problems that affect the world. This year the central topic was the global financial crisis. This kind of event is very important due to its nature. It means the best path to solve the problems that affect the entire world.
As I can perceive, in these kinds of events about global problems, the assistants have to reach agreements and aims. Once they have all the documents ready to be sign, also there is a big ceremony when they are signing. When this happen I think: “another waste of money and paper” “they are not going to do anything to improve things in life”. Maybe this is a pessimistic point of view but for me is the reality of these organizations that always promise that things are going to change but never happening.
Perhaps I am judging precipitating, but the experience of all past events show me the useless nature of this “signing shows”. I have to admit it, this kind of organizations make some programs and projects that works and help to improve life’s people. But the programs that they do represent a small percentage that is not very significant and do not fill all the expectative that they promised.
This WEF is annually, I mentioned this because every year they make different commitments to improve the deficiencies of the people around the world. But as every year I never see a significant change due to this Forum. When there is no change I start losing my faith in people because this organizations gather the smartest people in the world and with all these brilliant minds thinking, there is no way to get a better life for everyone of us.
