In 2040, I would like the world to live in peace and harmony, first of all. There should not be any hunger, poverty or epidemic, on the other hand. Social justice, law and order, and human development should be of utmost importance.
However, things like empathy, creativity, arts, communication, cultural enrichment are to be focused on, respected and developed.
Work should be paid fairly, talents - appreciated, intellect - acknowledged and encouraged further.
Family, friendship, support, help, mutual understanding might become the most important values in the future world society.
Maybe political system/s should be based on the principle of rotation, involvement, clarity, transparency, and morale.
All different cultures, including languages, (good) traditions/customs should be cherished and preserved.
Money and finance could be functioning only as a means of payment, purchasing, trade and necessary exchange, whereas all wrong uses be excluded.
Governments need to provide adequate housing, recreation facilities, transport system and infrstrtucture.
