FUTUROLOGY

Why are there always both optimistic and pessimistic voices regarding the
future? Can either side argue for the truth of their perspective beyond
different psychological dispositions?

In order of criticism for everything that happens in our world, there

are those who criticize that we must be optimistic and see the good side of
things, but we have to see life depends on how you perceive reality.

The optimists argue that scientific and technological advances are

strongly introduced in all institutions and educational system exception and
this will contribute decisively to create better conditions for the
democratization of knowledge. The optimist is faster for action, is more
active. But underestimate the difficulties and risks of venturing into
dangerous paths caught short form. The pessimist, by contrast, is overly
cautious and end up losing many good opportunities. The pessimistic views,
however, imagine a future strongly segmented. In which will be grouped
institutions with high technology and share knowledge to the privileged
sectors, with others where you will not notice the passage of time.
In fact, optimism and pessimism are two attitudes to the difficulties
and the future. There are also two different ways of relating to oneself and
other humans. The pessimist, as we said have a negative view of the future.
But it also has a negative view of men. Of them expected the worst. We
discover the worst qualities, most selfish motivations, less disinterested. To
the pessimist society is made up of people miserable, corrupt, evil
intimately, always ready to take advantage of the situation for their own
benefit. People from which one cannot trust and do not deserve our help. For
example, if someone has a project in a short time it will present all the
obstacles, all the difficulties that the person will encounter. And you will
understand then, after reaching the goal it will only have disappointment and
humiliation. Then the person will feel empty, and helpless. The pessimist in
reality is basically lazy. Do not want to make efforts to adapt to new things.
It is routine. Has customs needed to wake up, to have lunch, and for the
weekend. Compared to pessimistic, it seems naive. However, one realizes
that in fact, sees the evil and weaknesses of others. But do not let these
obstacles stop. Account the fact that every human being there is some
positive qualities and try to wake them. The pessimist is confined to himself
and not listen to others. The optimist, however pay attention to people. Let
them talk, dedicated time, and in this way can identify a positive aspect that
can see their qualities to make it rich. The optimist also gets easier to
overcome difficulties. Because it is more open to new solutions and can
quickly turn a disadvantage into an advantage. The pessimist sees the
difficulty before, but left hypnotize and paralyze it. While often it only takes
a little imagination to reverse the situation.

The main paradox regarding the future of education is that, under so

many uncertainties, we have one certainty: the knowledge will play an
increasingly important role in the development of nations and the lives of its
residents. Different processes are meeting to place education as the most
important factor of the future of countries and people. The rapid scientific
and technological progress and the generation of new patterns of production
and work organization become obsolete economic theory which placed the
traditional factors of production, land, labor and capital as drivers of
development and growth. But knowledge can only be employed through the
skills of individuals. Major studies show that the most dynamic technologies
for the near future (microelectronics, biotechnology, telecommunications,
new materials, robots and computers) will be installed where there are
citizens with the capacity and skill to use them. Because in a world where
natural resources, capital and technology move quickly, the ability of
education systems to become highly qualified workforce will become one of
the most productive and growth of nations. But this possibility of having
people who possess the necessary skills to work by incorporating new
technologies not only have significant value in order of creating conditions
of external competitiveness, we also have a strong impact on quality of life
of people. Because scientific advances and management of new technologies
will place us in a better position to find solutions to historical social issues
(urban development, health, education, food, housing, transportation, etc.).
And for production of those goods, distributed through equity policies can
mean a fundamental contribution in the fight against poverty.
The aims of this pessimistic over life have higher expectations and
that's an optimistic future. In contrast, optimistic about what is happening in
the present to give up giving up critical is the human condition. Progress is
possible only if you are unhappy with the present.
I think we can agree on a philosophy of futuristic optimism and enthusiasm
as a way of living than pessimism. With the passing of the things I have
learned that we are happier and perform better when we look to the future
with hope and enthusiasm. Any of those can say the true because the true is
what people want to be, because we make our future either way if we are
optimistic or pessimistic we make it. Therefore I will say that people have to
be optimistic in everything they do, but with a little of selfishness to not let
people to get advantage of us.
