Evidence: Society as I see it

Fuente: SENA

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something,
build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete” Buckminster Fuller.

For this evidence, you have to read the following situation and create a video
answering the questions below. In the answer for question 7, you will be
required to use the future perfect and the future perfect progressive. You will
find a model sentence below the questions.

Situation:

An area in your country has been selected to be part of a social experiment: the
creation of a new nation. You have been chosen to design it. Answer the
following questions to describe your plan.

Discuss the following questions:

1. Which political system will the country have? Explain why that system and
not any other.
• To begin with, my country is Colombia and its political system is and
always will be democracy, and I say it like this, because I have to be
clear in the system of government and not in a political party that
 uses the type of government such as the democratic one. Why not
another system of government? It is to change the political
constitution of my country and our constitution will be 30 years after
being modified and has had many reforms, some for the
convenience of the people and others for the convenience of the
politicians.

2. What benefits will the country have for the elderly?

• The main benefit that older people will have will be protection,
because older people are the most vulnerable and need health and
well-being because they are a high-risk population.

3. What industries will your country try to develop?

• The industries that will have been making a great development will be
technology and telecommunications, because it will have been a great
advance towards the fourth industrial revolution.

4. Will you give an allowance for unemployed people?

• Yes, I will give them an unemployment benefit and also I will have been
helping them train in new job techniques.

5. What kind of immigration policy will there be?

• For the next few periods, I will have been studying new protection
mechanisms for migrants in accordance with the provisions of
international organizations such as the UN.

6. What policies will you implement in regards to education and health?

• I will be implementing both in education and in health, research and
scientific methods because it will support the progress of the country.

7. What will have happened after three years of having implemented those
policies? (Include at least 4 ideas).
• After three years of having implemented my policies, student
dropouts will have been drastically reduced because people without
money will have had access to a high-quality education and will
have reached the necessary levels of competence that are required
in the labor market. There will also be no more lack of protection for
the elderly for the next three years; a certain group of people who do
not have a decent job will have been protected.
