Utopia of a Turkish youth in 2022

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

First of all, the most important thing in all life is health. We are currently under the influence of a virus, covid-19, that has dragged Europe and our country into disaster. This effect has diminished considerably, but there are still traces of it. In 2040, I see that this virus has become an ordinary disease and its lethal effects come to an end. I dream that in 2040 my country Turkey is a part of the European Union and all of Europe sees us Turks as a part of Europe. I imagine Istanbul and Ankara, which blend eastern and western cultures, as the cultural capitals of Europe. I see that the Black Sea has been cleared and all coastal countries including Turkey and Europe have become conscious. The war in Ukraine ended peacefully, and after the war, Ukraine began to develop. Just like in Warsaw, Ukraine has nostalgically rebuilt the destroyed places and UNESCO added Donbass to the world heritage list. Europe did not stay connected to its ancient friend America, and established different trade networks with the east and realized these through Turkey. Berlin-Ankara railway was opened and transportation from Turkey to Europe became easier. Tensions between Greece and Turkey gave way to a close friendship, and Greek in Istanbul and Turkish in Athens became the second most spoken language. Armenia-Turkey land border was reopened after 1993 and armenians, old friends of turks, returned to Turkey, where they could practice their religion and language comfortably. Turkey took the example of Europe in terms of architecture and politics and Scottish baron architecture was used, starting from Istanbul and Ankara. The European Union has invested in all European countries, especially Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria, for social awareness and creative and critical thinking education. The baltic countries developed and caught up with the Scandinavian countries economically. Especially Estonia came to the fore in the fish sector with its huge fish factories. Germany has become stronger than ever before. With an agreement between the Irish and the Turks, the Dublin-Ankara exchange program took place. Accordingly, university students like me benefited from the exchange program between Dublin and Ankara. I see a 2040 where racism ends. I see that the Turkic Council has become a very serious organization and Hungary has joined us. The importance given to the field of psychology has gradually increased and the investments made in this field have also increased. I will be 39 years old in 2040 and I would like to see me as a successful psychologist that day. I hope it will be a patient, egalitarian, critical and modern thinking production. Where I live or what I do is not important, but I want to be of use to humanity. I hope to have visited Iceland and visited the famous Hallgrímskirkja in reykjavik. I want to see global warming slowed down and all people become conscious of it. I wish for a future where Russia is not marginalized and looks European. Yes, maybe all these are dreams, maybe impossible to come true, but we must not forget that thinking about good things always leads to good things. I in 2040, Europe in 2040, the world in 2040 send you my greetings from 2022! I hope everything was for the best!

Älter werden im Dorf

Anonymous

I have grown older. Together with my partner, I fulfilled my dream of building another house - after all, there was still room in the garden of the old house! It's not any smaller than the old house, but the layout is better. We have moved into the upper apartment - the office in the basement is no longer needed since we retired from work. It now serves as an apartment when children and grandchildren come to visit. Our neighborhood is constantly changing. Separations and deaths bring change. The houses don't stay empty for long. It is very popular to live in the village. People still look out for each other here and living together works. There are lots of activities for young and old, and most people are keen to get involved in voluntary work. All in all, it's a good place to grow older.

retour à la souveraineté des Etats

that the European Union's powers be reduced in favor of the national states that make it up; that Europe (particularly France) become once again a confederation of states in which the member states cooperate but retain their full sovereignty; that the Commission disappear and that the governance of the EU take the form of regular meetings of the Prime Ministers of the member states + possibly a few Ministers concerned by the subjects under discussion. That the so-called "European Justice" disappears, and that the law applicable in member states depends solely on national parliaments, to the exclusion of any intervention by supranational bodies.

Make sense of it all.

I would like to see threats of global warming has been taken seriously and measures to halt its progression is in full force. I would also like to see either IQ tests or common sense tests for people, in charge of government. I also hope religion not to have such a strong hold over weak minds.

Politische Entwicklung

Ban on religions, as these are the main drivers of terrorist attacks and wars. AI should be developed with great caution to prevent a possible danger. German politics should be completely rethought, no more party coercion in the parliamentary groups and each party must vote on draft laws. The absence of party coercion means that every member of parliament can also vote in favor of a law of the other party, but also against bills of his party, so that no party would have to come to power alone or through a coalition and a freer democracy would be created.
