FUTURE – Time that is still to come. Events or conditions occurring or existing in that time.
POSSIBLE FUTURE – A future that is only limited by the imagination. These include events that can be projected forward regardless of how unlikely or likely they seem at the time. However, they must be feasible or workable.
PROBABLE FUTURE – A future that may occur based on past and present events. Analyses of existing events or trends are taken into account before the projections are made into the future time scope and these events become conceivable or likely.
PREFERABLE FUTURES – One that we specifically want to happen even though existing events or trends may not necessarily point to it happening and so a preferable future is one that is favoured or popular.
TECHNOLOGY – Tools that make tasks easier, enhancing the natural ability of persons to perform these tasks. Technology is not accessed equally across the world, and countries and companies with access to higher levels of technology are able to produce more products more quickly.
AUTHORITY – A legitimate use of influence and/or persuasion. Someone in authority has the ACCEPTED right to make decisions; someone in power would make decisions regardless of what those affected by these decisions think.
POWER – Involves a capacity to influence others to follow a course of action or point of view they would not otherwise follow.
INSTITUTIONS – These are accepted and organised patterns of behaviour in a society, responding to a particular social need. The education institution is a response to the social need to pass on cultural knowledge. Other examples include, parliament, the legal system, and churches.
CONTINUITY - The passing down fron generation to generation og beliefs, laws, doctrines and customs. Continuity refers to the reasons why attitudes, values, beliefs, traditions, and behaviour may be passed on from one generation to the next. This continuity gives social stability.
CHANGE - A break in tradition. It refers to those values, beliefs and behaviour that differ from one generation to the next.
CULTURAL HERITAGE - The shared understandings that give each society its distinctive way of life is passed on from generation to generation. Cultural heritage helps form a person's identity.
