“All things considered, do you think the world is getting better or worse?” That’s the question YouGov asked 18,235 people in a survey across multiple countries.

According to their results, only 6% in the US, 4% in Great Britain and 3% in France think that the world is improving. Some modern artists support this view and draw ironic illustrations of today’s realities.
