What Kind Of World Will Our Grandchildren Inherit?

This article examines the forecast for our grandchildren's lifestyle by looking at 10 major themes that will determine the outcome. The themes that were selected are important themes and it is not easy to predict how they will interact. The dominant theme is the growing desire that people have across the world to have a more important role in influencing government. The US has historically played an important role in spreading democracy. Recent trends in the US, however, create some uncertainty about its important role in accelerating the movement towards individual rights. It is also difficult to determine how our current generation will act to determine the world that future generations will inherit. Will this generation take the necessary actions to deal with population growth and climate change? In other words, does the movement towards individual rights include the rights of future generations? I think that the questions raised in this article are thought provoking. It is worth a read.
