Future Echoes | Echoes Future

Our society needs to acknowledge the impact of our current decisions on the future of our nation and the generations that will inhabit it during those eras.

We need to be aware of the echoes from these decisions and engage the generations in such a way that they recognise both now and in the future how they will be impacted.

This blog will explore and document this process and concept from its initial formulation to its possible outcomes.

Core Discovery

The initial ideals of strategy suggested that there was a link between the descriptive value of the formula and another core value which is the base representation of those said ideals or strategies.

The question was posed as to what this core may be, and in order to discover this there must be further understanding unto the topic of discussion. Namely, the shortcomings of parliament and the features that need to be resolved.

I would like to stem this towards a comment made and build from there:

"The political systems of Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States all have shortcomings. In the not-too-distant future these societies will need to deal with issues that may require extensive changes to life-style and social organisation, issues such as global warming, terrorism, religious conflict, energy shortages, war. None of these "democratic" systems does well in focussing the attention of a large enough proportion of the population on a problem and giving people suggesting possible solutions an opportunity to mobilise enough public support to carry any solution out." - John Kilcullen

I would like to relate this more succinctly into a set issue of connectivity, trust and security form the nation to its leaders; Public to public representative. With so many factors facing us in times as this, there perhaps needs to be a strong structural connection that the nation looks upon, not just for answers, but for understanding, guidance and the future of the Nation. In this sense, a single word comes to mind - UNITY.
