Among the threats and dangers of the future, our duty to the younger and future generations is to develop the instincts, feelings and self-preservation of children and young people, who by their very birth suffer from inventions, conflicts and crises inherited by all previous older generations. The dominants of future self-preservation are in the mental development of children and youth, the main of which we consider mental abilities, development of feelings and especially - a sense of empathy for all living things, as well as - the imagination of every child and young person. her own life and the lives of others. Our common methodology should be to understand that the social world is not simplified, but complicated, and we have a duty to prepare our children and young people to solve these complications.

Today's youths are yesterday's future generation and tomorrow's guardian of future generations. Successful water governance requires the sustainable management of water resources which in turn implies the maximisation of economic, social and environmental goals. This research, whilst focusing on the social traits of the current youth cohort, forms the basis of a wider national survey amongst Maltese society in order to identify their economic, social and environmental traits as one of the basis for developing a robust water governance framework for Malta. The research shows that whilst there is a solid foundation in the current youth crop to build upon for effective water governance, there is still considerable work that needs to be undertaken in order to raise awareness amongst a sizeable component of the current youth cohort.

Families are responsible for the functioning of the future generations. However, in their lives there may occur difficult situations which they are not able to overcome. Then the government provides the necessary assistance through actions carried out by aid institutions and various support programs. Currently in Poland there are many programs to help the poorest and the families in need. One of them is the program “Rodzina 500 plus” which is very well-reviewed by the public . It is, however, necessary to control the effects of the support given by the government to improve aid projects and indeed direct the stream of money to those who need it the most. The article includes analyses of the studies carried out in the Opolskie Voivodeship which aim was to show effects of the current implementation of the program “Rodzina 500 plus” from the perspective of the social workers.

For millennia, Europe was a battlefield whose history was marked by countless wars among European peoples, blood and tears . The two world wars that cost millions of lives were the culmination of this development and a lesson rarely learned from history . For over 70 years Europeans have been living in peace . The contribution to securing it is probably the greatest gift the founding fathers of Europe gave to future generations . But love for Europe is fading . Not only in the UK but also in continental Europe populist and anti-European parties flourish . The EU would be threatened most if it loses its democratic base and if its citizens begin to reject it . Therefore, it is important to analyze the criticisms and fears that lead to the EU’s rejection . They can be summarized in three theses for which solutions can be offered: the democratic question, the social and the existential question with its concerns about immigration, security and peace .

A widespread failure to recognize the social and political-economic causes of climate-related crises is an erasure of history that hides potential solutions and absolves guilty parties of responsibility. This blocking out of causality is perpetuating slow and silent violence against present and future generations. These erasures are illustrated by two short cases: the causes of famine and dislocation in the Sahel, and the causes of farmers’ suicides in India. The essay highlights the need to recognize histories of exploitation, and introduces the “Exploiter Pays Principle,” in order to deliver justice in climate policymaking.

The ability of the Social Security retirement program to pay the promised benefits to future generations has been debated since the 1960s. Various suggestions have been made, but the one that has attracted the most passionate opinions has been whether some or all of the Social Security Trust Funds should be invested in the stock market, which would yield higher returns than on the Federal government issued bonds (Treasury Bonds). In reviewing 88 years of financial market data going back to 1926, the author shows that investing in the stock market (using the S&P 500 as the proxy) will most probably produce higher returns for the U.S. taxpayer (investor) over the long term, but the investor will have to be prepared for a roller-coaster ride of highs and lows.
