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!

Révision des valeurs, valorisation des valeurs humaines
The medical-social professions are not remunerated at a level commensurate with their contribution to society. In the future, all professions that bring a real benefit to people and society will be valued and paid much more than those that only have a market value. A footballer, especially a professional one, an actor, an influencer, a TV presenter etc. will earn a decent living, but much less than an educator, a nurse, a doctor, a home help. Mutual aid, solidarity, compassion and empathy will be taught from an early age to ensure that tomorrow's societies are harmonious, fair and equitable. Work will be more remunerative than capitalization. All forms of life will be respected and preserved as far as possible.

Gemeinsam für alle ist das Ziel.
People have finally managed to put aside their own selfishness and have realized that a society and a better world can only function together. Mobility is becoming public, free and reliably available to everyone. People have realized that no one has to live in abundance and that no one needs to live in poverty. Every life is secured in a humane way and everyone can live their lives as they wish without having to fear for their existence. The rich 1% have realized that it makes no sense to hoard money and voluntarily make it available to society. No one is disadvantaged because of the attributes of their birth.

Reprenons le pouvoir
By 2040, a wave of nationalism will have invaded France and Europe. Countries will become sovereign over their territory, allowing them to reduce violence and growing insecurity in cities and suburbs. The French state will control the borders, fluctuating immigration and prioritizing the so-called French population, by expelling people with OQTF status. The state will cut costs by abolishing the aberration of mutual state aid. France will once again become a country imposing its laws and dictating rules on the continent with its European partners. Unfortunately, social inequalities will increase, due to high inflation, energy prices and the mismanagement of the various governments in power.

Schöne neue Welt
The world has turned to peace. The military and secret services have been abolished. There is no NATO or any other military alliance. Terrorism has been overcome by just political solutions, not by police violence. It was regulated that all nations have a good livelihood. This also brought migration to Europe and the USA to a standstill. The EU still exists, but is much more democratically structured and leaves a lot of decision-making freedom to the member states. Microplastics, glyphosate and all other toxic substances have been banned. Animal exploitation has been abolished due to inhumanity. People now only use their opportunities for constructive projects.
