YOUR CHALLENGE

VA IZAZOV

The future does not just happen. Except for natural events like earthquakes, it comes about through theefforts of people and is determined largely by how well informed people are. You can play a role in the

shaping of tomorrow's world by asking yourself questions like, "What kind of world do I want to live in?"and "What does democracy mean to me?" There are many other options of organization for the futurethan those typically discussed today.

Budunost se ne deava sama od sebe. Osim prirodnih pojava, kao to su zemljotresi, ona se ostvarujekroz napore ljudi i velikim je delom odreena time koliko smo informisani. Moete igrati ulogu uoblikovanju sutranjice, postavljajui sebi pitanja kao to su: "U kakvom svetu ja elim da ivim?" i "taza mene predstavlja demokratija?". Postoji mnogo naina organizovanja budunosti pored onih o kojimase danas diskutuje.

Here is a scenario for you to consider: Suppose you were called upon to redesign planetary civilization

without any limitations based on how things are done today. The goal is to help rid the world of war,poverty, hunger, and environmental degradation, and to create the best world for al inhabitants, given theresources at hand, for the longest period of time.

Razmislite o sledeem scenariju: Pretpostavite da ste pozvani da redizajnirate civilizaciju, bez ikakvihogranienja, baziranu na onome kako stvari stoje danas. Cilj je da se prevazie svet rata, siromatva, gladii degradacije okruenja, i da se stvori svet najbolji za sve stanovnike, ostavljajui im resurse naraspolaganju na najdui mogui vremenski period.

Remember, you are free to rearrange society in any way you think will work. The only limitation is thatyour social design must factor in the carrying capacity of the planet, which means the resources have to

be sufficient to support life on the planet.

Zapamtite, slobodno moete da preuredite drutvo na bilo koji nain koji mislite da e funkcionisati.Jedino ogranienje je da uzmete u obzir odrivi kapacitet planete, odnosno resurse potrebne za odravanjeivota na njoj.

You can rearrange the entire civilization to make what you consider the best of all possible worlds,bearing in mind that any unmet need for any segment of the population reduces the standard of living forall. This may include not only environmental protection, but also city design, transportation, interpersonalrelationships and the restructuring of education, if you feel it is necessary.

Moete preurediti itavu civilizaciju u stvaranju onoga to smatrate najboljim od svih moguih svetova,ali imajui u vidu da bilo koja nezadovoljena potreba bilo kog dela populacije smanjuje ivotni standardsvih. Ovo ne ukljuuje samo zatitu okoline ve i urbani dizajn, transport, meuljudske odnose, kao irekonstrukciju obrazovanja, ukoliko Vam se to uini potrebnim.

The options are limitless. Would you have separate nations? Would you have an international advisoryboard? How would you manage and distribute the resources of the world to accommodate the needs ofall? Would you use the scientific method to make decisions, or rely on politics or mysticism? How would

you handle differences in religious beliefs? You may even consider another system of distribution thatdoesn't use money as a medium of exchange.

Mogunosti su neograniene. Da li ete imali razliite nacije? Internacionalni savetodavni odbor? Kakoete organizovati i distribuirati resurse kako biste zadovoljili potrebe svih? Hoete li koristiti naunimetod u donoenju odluka ili se oslanjati na politiku i misticizam? Kako ete reiti religiozne razlike?Moete ak razmotriti i takav sistem distribucije koji ne ukljuuje novac kao sredstvo razmene.

On a personal basis, would you seek a position of advantage over others? Would you claim a biggerhouse, a more luxurious car, or high-definition TV? On what basis would you say you deserve thesethings? Or that others don't deserve them? Your skill level? Your investment of time and/or money?

Hoete li, na linoj osnovi, teiti poziciji koja e vam doneti prednost u odnosu na druge? Da li etezahtevati veu kuu, luksuzniji automobil ili bolji TV aparat? Po kojoj osnovi ete objasniti da ba Vizasluujete takve stvari, a da ih drugi ne zasluuju? Na osnovu vaeg nivoa znanja i investiranja vremenaili novca?

Remember, if you force any predetermined set of values on other nations, or others in your own nation orneighborhood for that matter, you will generate bad feelings. How would you prevent politicalcorruption? Would you declare universal laws and treaties? Would you use military and police methodsfor enforcement? Would you declare all resources the common heritage of all nations?

Zapamtite, ako na svom putu ka cilju nametnete bilo koji skup vrednosti drugim nacijama, sunarodnicimaili komijama, proizveete negativne emocije. Kako biste spreili politiku korupciju? Da li bisteproglasili univerzalne zakone i sporazume? Da li biste upotrebljavali vojnu i policijsku silu? Da li bisteproglasili sve resurse zajednikim nasleem?

In order to accomplish this task, one must be free of bias and nationalism, and reflect those qualities in the

design of policies. How would you approach that? This is a difficult project requiring input from manydisciplines.

Da bi ostvario ovaj poduhvat pojedinac mora biti osloboen predrasuda i nacionalizma i ispoljavati tekvalitete u kreiranju budunosti. Kako biste pristupili tome? Ovo je teak projekat koji zahteva primenumnogih disciplina.

These are some of the problems we must consider when thinking about such a task. It can be a freshapproach, unburdened by past or traditional considerations, religious or otherwise, but always keep inmind for whom this society is to be designed.

To su neki od problema koje moramo razmotriti razmiljajui o ovom poduhvatu. To moe biti svepristup, neoptereen prolou i tradicionalnim uverenjima, religiozan ili ne, ali uvek treba imati u vidu zakoga se to drutvo stvara.

Feel free to transcend present realities and reach out for new and creative ideas.

Oseajte se slobodnim da prevaziete trenutne mogunosti u potrazi za novim i kreativnim idejama.
