Utopia of a Turkish youth in 2022

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!

It's 2040. Finally, Europe has become one, united State, in which there are no better or worse - every person has the right to shape his or her life in the best possible way. Borders have been abolished and all citizens can live anywhere. They live in peace, respecting the diversity and cultural diversity of the members of the United State. They feel spiritually richer due to the fact that people of different faiths, skin color or sexual preferences live next to each other. Thanks to the unification, Europe has become a strong country and of great importance on the international arena. Its citizens no longer have to tremble for their future and fear the aggression of their opponents. The absence of borders and the free market allowed for economic development. Because people live better lives, they can invest in the development of science and culture. Higher social awareness translates into care for the natural environment. The former "Green Deal" has ceased to be an empty slogan, and has become a signpost that guides people to preserve the biodiversity of our planet, improve the cleanliness of the earth, rivers and air. This is the new world we want to pass on to our children.

In the future I see my graduated daughter working in what she likes.I see my now adult son working as an electronic technician. I see the mental health of our boys so strong and so fragile at the same time put in the first place where the school leaves no one behind, where the professors make you love their subjects or at least be curious about them. Where people who have escaped wars now far away are in Italy or other host countries "at home" without feeling different, inferior or unwilling. The whole world and all its governments have understood the importance of maintaining and taking care of nature and its animals. The wonderful world we live in.

Europe needs peace and adaptation to the needs of our times. This means dealing with threats to democracy and, above all, actually complying with it. Social protection should be provided to citizens. This entails stopping the promotion of the so-called , Green Deal, which is leading to the impoverishment of society and the collapse of agriculture and the economy in Europe. Citizens expect solutions from Europe, and their anger stems from not seeing them. It is necessary to return to a model of Europe based on the full sovereignty of the Member States, which are self-determining about their citizens and their economy. This is guaranteed by the Conservative government, which will also ensure the deportation of illegal immigrants. Why do we need a European Union that, according to sick climate ideas, oppresses its citizens with idiotic ETS-type taxes. I hope that such an EU will go into the past and will only be a former bad dream of imaginary pseudo-democrats.

The prediction of the future is always risky. Even the prophets of the Bible did not speak far ahead, but judged the realities they saw and predicted the future precisely because of their discernment. There are 25 years left until 2040. Undoubtedly - technical progress (provided that we do not destroy, there will be no crazy and warlike neighbors left). The most important thing is the relationship between people. I don't dream of communicating with thoughts or thanks to implanted devices. I hope that in 25 years, people will remain, or perhaps become, empathetic to those around them and to the environment - living and non-living nature. They will stop devastating nature, wisely manage and use resources, perhaps they will control the unbridled desire for wealth and power, and democracy will take more sustainable and humane forms. And I'm hoping for smarter rather than dumber fellow citizens who won't run to hide when they see a flying passenger plane that leaves a "tail" of smoke and doesn't burn 5G towers... I hope for a reasonable breakthrough in the preservation and maintenance of health, keeping the criterion of reasonableness and not resorting to experiments that go beyond the limits of humanity and reason. Nature (or perhaps the Creator) draws new surprises in all areas. With the advancement of medicine, bigger and more complex challenges and ugly diseases appear (or are discovered). I said it! It's expropriating.
