What Do You Think Is Going To Happen? Part 2
I want to continue my thoughts on
what I think will happen in various regions of the world. Sub-Saharan Africa will
be the fastest growing economic area within five years. Technology is becoming
widely available. It has an educated workforce that is growing every year. The
biggest challenges will be ecological and governmental. We need to maintain the
vast swaths of land that is home a variety of species of animals. Also, it is critical
that we maintain as much of the rain forest as we can. There will be serious
consequences if we continue to destroy them. Population control will also be a
big factor in the success of the area.
A couple of European countries may
lose their unique cultural identity starting in 5 to 10 years. This is due to a
negative birthrate for the native Italian population. Unbridled immigration
could change the dynamics of the country. The European Union has to come to
grips with this issue. It will impact Italy
directly but also neighboring countries. Is it just an inevitable change that
comes over time to each country?
Saudi Arabia has a young leader who
is showing signs of change to the country. Especially in the rights of women. He faces a large faction of traditionalists
who fight him. We need to give him
support to slowly change that country to an open society. Saudi Arabia can lead the entire Middle East
to bring the Sunni Islamic countries into the 21st century. As I said yesterday, Iran is slowly changing
too. If these two countries can evolve
and eventually become trading partners, it will be a seismic event. I believe this will happen within 10
years. The Sunni Shia schism needs to be
address and will be by the younger generations there.
I am optimistic about the future.
Even though we seem to have some intractable issues, the younger generations
are so connected with each other around the world that they will ban together
in an unstructured way to help solve these issues.
