Why study the future?
Futuristic studies have become popular with high-end
learners. Bright youngsters are aware of
world problems, understand moral responsibility, and need to know creative
problem solving techniques.
No one knows what the future holds for us; no
one can predict the future; no one can state with authority what information
will be important to know. However, we
do know that we can create an advanced, admirable society. Students must learn to deal with progress
and change; be able to creatively solve problems with workable solutions;
become task-committed individuals; have open minds; and build the confidence to
work efficiently with a team.
Concepts:
change, ethics, cooperation, adaptation, values, justice, perspectives
