Abstract

People always wanted to know what they will face in future . Numerous theories were created about our world structure , the impact of different processes onto our existence , and the expected consequences of the events we experience today . Thinking about future is an interesting task , and this will provide detailed analysis of my ideas about how I view our future

Our Future through My Eyes

Introduction

Given

the acceleration of change , it is clear that predicting the future has become more difficult than ever . If we try to look ahead more than a decade or so , the crystal ball gets cloudy (Paragon , 1999 . It is true that we face significant problems in trying to delineate the major trends in our future . With the growing needs to know what waits for us in future , the obstacles against predicting this future also increase . The problem is not in the fact that we may not be aware of the global processes . The problem is in the constantly increasing complicatedness of these processes : it is not rare when we cannot find proper definition for this or that process even in our present . However it is interesting and useful to predict future , as prediction requires profound insight into what currently happens in our world . Prediction is the means of analysis , and this analysis is an effective tool of seeing our present and future objectively . I will try to be objective in my prediction , though it is understandable that I cannot avoid subjectivity in my judgments

Several decades ago people were overwhelmed with the predictions , which seem too naive for us . The simplicity of people 's existence at that time was compared to the techno-optimism ' in future . People 's predictions about our future were mainly related to the technical progress and expectations of radical technological changes in every family . The role of predictions today has analyzing global processes , and they are no more limited by technological progress only . We have closely connected the notions of globalization , industrial revolution , politics and the role of government with what expects us in the nearest decades . This is why I will not break this tradition and will concentrate my efforts on the issues of globalization , governmental control and economic development in future

Globalization is an extremely debatable issue and there is no unilateral agreement as for its positivism or negativity for the contemporary society . I personally view globalization as the major driving force of the oncoming changes however these changes will not be positive for all social objects

The basic engine behind the emergence of a globalized world economy lies not in goods , people , money , and ideas becoming increasingly and similarly transportable across national frontiers . It lies , rather , in capital becoming historically more portable and more internationally mobile than anything else (Heredia , 1997

In this sense , we mean everything which could be defined by the term capital : finances , knowledge , labor...
