How old will you be in 2025 and what will you be doing?
Believe it or not, by that year you’ll probably have gotten married and started a family. You’ll worry about what’s going on in the world and what your children will inherit. The problems, the promises, the realities of a world that has been formed by decisions we adults make today.
The National Intelligence Council has issued its newest report, “Global Trends 2025: A Transformed World.” It’s detailed, so you might not get through the whole report, but take the time to a least read the summary on pages iv and v. Check out the table of contents, find a topic that interests you, and read that section of the report. Some interesting predictions on issues like:
What country would benefit from global warming?
Will the U.S. remain the world’s economic superpower?
What will the influence of the U.N. be around the globe?
What’s the possibility of nuclear conflict? Where might it occur?
…and many other factors for consideration.
The report says, “The international system – as constructed following the Second World War – will be almost unrecognizable by 2025 owing to the rise of emerging powers, a globalizing economy, an historic transfer of relative wealth and economic power from West to East, and the growing influence of non-state actors.”
