“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.
