OPENING AUTHORITY (ΚΑΙΝΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΡΧΗ)

The digital age that should mark people’s improved and more comfortable lives has shifted a balance of modern human beings. Any real feeling and experience is now considered obsolete and anything we are new to try, banal. Social networks determine our relationships, which either do not expand or do not evolve to a large extent in their absence. At the same time, society suffers from difficult economic problems. Corrupt governments of states could only bring the situation to the end of the barley. A barbour that can only be crossed with real values. But also. Ethical principles are missing from governments, civil servants, education, young people from all over the world. Every act is considered normal as long as it satisfies our egoism. And if this egoism leads to at least one subtle spiritual investigation or an attempt to rehabilitate the labour market, we are lucky. Because most of them imitate the prominence and dreams. Most try to win the beauty when it should not have a place in their lives. What beauty do we talk to? Each defines it differently. The issue is that what is now considered to be a “coul” is often the one that destroys the whole. But everything is good! The cigarettes in each recess are scattered, such as margarites on a mountain pasture, and the graffiti are fired in the urban galleries, making a spectacle... What beautiful our cities are! Car smoke does not disturb us. Forgotten bins do not tempt us. It is enough that our cities are not flooded by climate change. It is enough that COP27 did not discuss us at all, but about something bitter African farmers who cannot feed their children.

If at least half of these problems could be solved by 2040, I would be happy. But we will find the values to bridge the gap between modern realities and real life?

Harmonie en evenwicht
There are no more wars in the world. Migrants can return to their families. Everyone has the right to a basic income. One can work less to take care of the home situation and take care of oneself. People get more in balance, so they don't have to rely on care. This person lives in harmony but also with nature.

De gode gamle dage.
At a time when the world is getting smaller and smaller, I hope we keep the old. History, architecture and cultures. We can get closer together as countries and peoples, but I really hope we find out how to preserve some of the rich cultural heritage that Europe contains. I personally do not believe that we have a European Union as we know it today, as I myself believe that it is unsustainable. I think we will end up more in a European version of a NATO alliance, what it will mean for Europe we can only guess, but that is what I believe and hope that will happen.

El futuro es la tecnología
I'm in 2040 and everything is totally different than 20 years ago when I thought everything was going to change but I didn't think that much. Everything revolves around technology and it's what has the power and moves the world. A lot has changed and now technology is everywhere. We use it to buy and that the products reach us home in drones within a few minutes of making the purchase. It is also not necessary to go down to the bank to be able to withdraw money since we directly have a device at home that performs the function of cashier and we can receive our money instantly at home as if it were a printer. In the shops there are no dependents have disappeared almost all, there is only some supervisor since everything works through technology. Also in restaurants things have changed a lot since some waiters are Robots that perform the task. Now there are many people working from home and now we have many new professions that work online. What I like most about what I see in 2040 is that medicine has advanced a lot, we finally have a cure for many diseases such as cancer. Scientists have advanced a lot and many deadly diseases are no longer, so many people are cured when 20 years ago those people would have died from those diseases.

För ett tryggare Europa
Hopefully, the whole of Europe will be a safer place. Just look at Poland, which has really succeeded in being a safer country. Girls should be able to walk on their own in the evenings without having to worry. Prison sentences should be harder than they are now, purely by seen jokes how low the sentences are. In addition, if you have applied for asylum, you will be granted a probationary period of 5 years. If you don't behave, you won't get a second chance.
