The report presented several archetypal future scenarios that represent distinct pathways for global developments out to the next 20 years. However, because the world regularly twists and turns in surprising ways, none of these outcomes are predetermined. The choices people makeindividually and collectively, whether by intent or chancewill remain the biggest variables driving the course of events.
Develop an alternative creative scenario, by critically thinking about the future in the lights of the information you gathered throughout the course and your increased awareness of the big picture. Evaluate the presented scenarios in the above mentioned report to pick an existing scenario to build on or challenge its current planning assumptions by coming up with an original scenario of your own. Keep in mind that these scenarios, and the challenges and opportunities they represent, are not necessarily mutually exclusive. The future will probably include elements from each, but at different levels of intensity or in different regions of the world.
Write an essay that clearly explains your future world scenario considering the global trends we studied throughout the course: demographic, economic, social, technological, environmental, and political. As good scenarios are far more art than science, try to provide strong rational based on current evidence from the assigned readings to make your predictions grounded enough to feel plausible, while imaginative enough to challenge current assumptions.
