The voluminous work resembles not only on the outside of the Bible. It is also understood as a kind of Bible of the future research. Almost everything that can report what you get, touched it - but nothing more. And the author then a sort of disciple of future research, one of the serious, however. Someone who "looks at the people's mouth, and the government to rap the knuckles." Go on!

Anyone who would just like to thoroughly inform about the future, who does not pass Horst W. Opaschowski. The former tourism researchers has meanwhile become a trend or Future researchers changed. Were the previous books "Germany 2010" and "Germany 2020" only to the immediate future approach, the author dares now "Germany 2030" to think big. Perhaps this is also just a good, constantly self-renewing marketing strategy?

Opaschowski His studies can be calculated by the "Foundation for Future", an initiative funded by British American Tobacco. A lobby group of the cigarette industry, is interested in the future? Why not. For a number of prominent environmental disasters kick, also known oil companies in the guise of sustainability researchers. The largest contrasts seem the least attention.

It is almost impossible to give the information in the book in a condensed form. It is simply a cornucopia and deals with almost all relevant areas of change. The changing world of work and employment, the changing consumer world, the world of education, the media and many others. Each chapter has exactly ten sub-chapter - can be so beautiful in the world are divided Opaschowski. I never can do it, even if I try.

And his forecast? There are fewer forecasts than detailed, empirically based descriptions of the present. The empirical research done Opaschowski This itself is often the same borders but from him, at least from those of future researchers who not much more than rhetoric to ignite smoke bombs. However, it is also Opaschowski sometimes cryptic.

Since then the talk of the "fear of the @-bomb", the "Generation @" or the formula of "0.5 x 2 x 3", which means: worthy "Half of the employees make twice as much and must make three times as much as before. " Not very bright future prospects, one of the "working formula of tomorrow" believes. Even a quick formula: "E plus U is I". what is now mean? In the sphere of the culture of tomorrow, so Opaschowski that grow "serious culture" and the "entertainment culture" to an "integration culture" together, a culture with broad appeal. Since we had him back, one of my favorite expressions: the broad mass.

was particularly instructive for me (as the author of a book on volunteering in the tables), the chapter on 'Informal helping "and the excitement of volunteering. He brings very nice to the point, what I have described elsewhere as "demonstrative Help": "When there is commitment primarily biographical concerns about their own personal development, self-interest and self-fulfillment "

contribution to the future of humanity. Everyone can now get an idea about the future and safe for everyone. This is the main merit of the tome, which - replaced countless Internet searches - incidentally.

At any time in life should be surrounded by good advisors. Fortunately, there are always one or the other who feels able to provide us with good advice. Such equipped to deal with the crisis is just a breeze.

In my childhood there were only a relevant guide book. It was called "Secret Tips from Donald Duck. A practical handbook for boys." One can see immediately that the book had to be long before the spelling reform and come out long before gender mainstreaming. I found it a few weeks at home in the attic. I do not remember how old I was, but I had entered my height: 140 cm. In the book you could learn everything about invisible ink, kites, wind speeds and the Gordian knot . Later I thought I use at the U.S. Army Survival Handbook . This was now more juicy topics: survival after a plane crash, determine the direction of the Clock (I have from time to time required for travel) or dealing with sharks in tropical waters.

All these books seem like a pharmacy journal compared to a medical dictionary. Useful, but not very comprehensive. The Austrian Karl Leopold von Lichtenfels has - no surprise with the Name - the task of writing a fruitful lexicon that contains the whole world know about dealing with crises and disasters. Since we are currently in crisis, it is perhaps not difficult to prepare by reading this book for the worst. The market is booming way. Crisis management literature makes checkout. Titles such as "self-sufficiency from the Garden: How his garden, of course, ordered food and healthy harvest" remember " Wholly Earth Catalog " (from 1968) by Stewart Brand, who is considered the precursor of today's Internet search engines. More titles such as "The Big Book of survival techniques. This comprehensive reference work for all who want to act in exceptional situations prevail quickly correct and "show that even today are still books without decent editing on the market but also the importance of" Canned Decisions ", to about. decision stocks pilots train such a decision routines, and then in an emergency almost instinctively to respond.

But how we react as a normal citizen to a crisis? Leopold von Lichtenfels studied astronomy, physics, theology and education in Vienna and realized his book with the help of a scholarship. It was sort of a waste product of an analysis of 350 prophecies of the downfall of the world. It is clear that one be thought makes. His example also shows that promoting science meets sometimes even the right ones.

The book is a kind of "Noah's Ark of survival". This is a little used up. However, it can discover a lot of interesting information. Not everything the author has even checked. He regrets explicitly in his introduction that he has not even verified the existing instructions to cannibalism - to have to arrange for a scientist, a hard lot, their own curiosity petty research ethical concerns.

The book is clearly structured and practical. It begins with a chapter on "Civil Protection for Beginners "and then lists all known threats. are fires, earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, etc. This barrenness of war, air raid and nuclear weapons missions signs of a nuclear weapon used, according to the author," very bright burst of light "and" thunder-like rumble. "This is also some discos, but is certainly true. The advice he gives to the survival of atomic explosions seem a bit helpless. Help Reicher is already the list of places where you have a higher chance of survival or the list of places that you should avoid because they are mentioned in the prophecies of doom. There is so much to discover, that, as an almost angry reader to live in such a sheltered world.

contribution to the future of humanity: In this case more than obvious. This book is a pdf version on any mobile phone!

What to do with human waste?


Weight: 345 grams Dimensions: 321 x 210 x 34 mm

What happens if one day more than half of Germans unemployed are? If employment agencies as former Secretary of State to be flown in by helicopter? The award-winning novel by Joachim Zelter is a must for anyone interested in dealing with critical social diagnoses.

warn For years, sociologists such as Horst Bude, who in 1998 coined the term in an article "The superfluous," before resorting to the people in this society. The periphery is growing, the middle is shrinking and clings in their social fear of losing the last niche in the bare rock face of the rugged class society "(Barbara Ehrenreich in" working poor "). What happens when suddenly millions of people not including (in sociological parlance, "Excludes") are - as I have described, even in my book "Fast bottom . In the time of writing me the thought that the company "sorted" is just basic (without which we can get notice) followed. look how this can Zelter described in his excellent book. A novel with sociological depth or a sociological study in novel form - I can not decide.

In the not too distant future the "end of work" (which in 1995 the title of a famous book by J. Rifkin) has come. There are almost more unemployed than the employed Employment, over which we in this future (unfortunately still) define, is a scarce resource, because processes of automation, release digitization and rationalization except the few educated "symbol analysts" all the people who make that unnecessary: "Throughout human history was working a priori given. It has accompanied humans for thousands of years, besieged, persecuted. In recent years this has changed. The work is no longer pursued. We pursue them. We search for her. How precious to a raw material. Or hunters for prey. The real work is no longer the work itself, but the search for work. "

The many unemployed people unemployed this company have one last chance - if they are "chosen" by their advisers to visit the School of the unemployed ". This is a kind of barracks in a former factory building, with a trainer, the more sergeants same harsh rules, drill and no way out. In sociology, we call something a "total institution", a barracks, a prison for instance, or a monastery. There will lose one assumes the civil and personal rights.

The life of the novel concisely described similar institution a mix of military barracks, prisons and monasteries. There is a dress code and a sophisticated reward system (different coins for the coffee machines). And there is training that will lead to unemployment are different again. Which brings us to a central sociological theme of the book.

The sociologist Ulrich Beck in his book "Private Life" solid, such as a central Biography today is: "The bottom line is [ ... ] that modern requirements, the self-organization of the life course and self-theming Biography of force. "If the CV, the actual events linking a person's life is, it is the biography of the narrative of these events.

get in the school of unemployed excluded with an ample motivation and evaluation Gung training. You need to show others the subject "Biographical work and run fictitious interviews with coaches. The interview turns out to be a new art form, the application feelings fluctuate between heroism and humiliation.

A Biography is now not only sociological but also very pragmatic sense a construct. It calls for combinatorial imagination Biographical transactions, promiscuous CVs Autofiktionalität, CVs as a form of applied literature, epic highways, constructed fictional story structure, combinatorial property structure, a coherent system-voice characteristics and meaning, some discount (on stage direction scarcity) comments. It's not about truth, but only the consistency of biographical plot structure and the attractiveness of the biographical own life.

The CV is no longer there as a quarry, the raw materials for own dynamic hergibt biographies. It is not about realism, but a sense of possibility. This requires first of all gaps revealed to be "educational and occupational gaps, [...] extra-curricular gaps, hobby and leisure spaces, interest gaps, language gaps, gaps abroad, travel vulnerabilities, computer vulnerabilities, personality vulnerabilities, emotional gaps [ ... ] . And is the hard-hitting slogan: "The nothing of a life is always excusable, but only in real life, not in a resume." Your life will become the autobiographical optimized life. The success of the search movement is attested in the School of the unemployed "with the" Certificate of Professional Application ".

This construct should distance themselves then the people with design life from his Looser-Class, which consists of frightened people with lifelong social difficulties and binding fears and negative childhood memories. People who are depressed and create a latent low self-confidence and the world of the day and - worst of all - just loads are reduced. A Biogafie that the does not, is described thus: "It lacks the tension. It lacks the great biographical turning points. It lacks the view points, low points or turning points. And of course highlights. Too little human. No real story. Too much moderation and mediocrity [...]. It lacks the extreme. Missing the meaning. [...] Who wants to read that? Let set for "

contribution to the future of mankind? Make it look like you could in the future! Zero human dignity, total available mass, terminal, rubbish. Are we doing everything to avoid it.

Avoid too much future!

Weight: 230 grams Dimensions: 210 x 155 x 9 mmm

According to information is the 2008 book "Future illusions" an "expertise" which focuses on the strategies Trend researchers - not to come off very well. Rust in chalk, that the protagonists of this milieu each other with the invention of exotic terms on offer, in order to markets, target groups, to describe trends, consumerism and social change processes.

Despite these whimsical ideas of success. This may be the serious scientists can not sit on - he brings out for retaliation. Rust understands his contribution as methodological opportunism. And I can understand that. As was Harry G. Frankfurt has shown that we live in a time when, more than ever before, Bullshit is produced. The research trend has a huge part in it. Because it hails before in pejorative terms: "Mutual network legitimacy," "methodological quackery", "variations of superficial expression activities", "tabloid-research" and even "future illusions."

principles to be taken seriously you can research any case looking at the "studies" of the trend researcher long before Rust. Them is more about "Google publicity 'than the pure doctrine. Comparing the Internet presence the well-known "Secretariat for future research" under the direction of the (real) professor Rolf Kreibich (whose publications I use in my courses) with the results for the Future Institute "of the busiest and most controversial trend researcher Matthias Horx then you get a quota of 600 to 46,000 . True facts versus trend rhetoric.

takes the confidence of the trend of researchers to Rust almost grotesque. They see themselves as representatives of a universal science, and will not be immune from biographical inventions. Detailverliebt (as only Umberto Eco) shows how, for instance Matthias Rust Horx can designate them as "professor" despite holding only a teaching job. Rust unmasks the facts faith and dance around the golden calf of prominence, which deals with "Science Faction" and biography refinement. The biography, the Rust is the result of a "confabulatory constructivism" (139) in which some basic empirical data are simply reinterpreted. And prompt the author provides the same homology between biography and the work principle of the design trend research.

The example of the (world famous) John Naisbitt, who likes to spend as an advisor to President Johnson (and more like), can be this study patterns. A few facts agree, the rest is just a trend, an (autobiographical) marketing-oriented action that will prove useful as self-esteem - and often does.

There is more than just human vanity and the desire to represent himself as a scientist to his own trend reports to give more legitimacy. It is also a criticism of the credulity in the Internet age, where time is here, now there copied and used without object search. Just the willingness to take pre-built, pleasant-sounding biographical elements, is part of the general Verbequemlichung increased. Is served to both sides: "The processing takes the role of trend researchers, therefore, in a shifting customer demands, for brilliance and titles and the willingness of the provider to accept this gloss and the title" (139).

Of the many models for the generation of illusions may be enough at this point the report of Dr. Fox and the nonsense science. It shows the problem, which is in the book - properly researched and presented entertaining - all about: Appearances often triumphs over being, an ancient topos, then, is reactivated by Horx & Co..

1970 gathered to scientific experts in a presentation entitled "Application of mathematical game theory in the training of doctors." What the audience did not: The speaker, who introduced himself as Dr. Fox was not a scientist, but an actor. The lecture was only an experiment, the audience is the (unwilling) subjects. The actor had been given by a team of psychologists on the task of developing on the basis of a paper reporting a speech, the talk consisted solely of an unclear, invented words and contradictory findings. It requires a lot of humor and meaningless references to other articles. The audience was enthusiastic and indicated then that the Material was well organized, the examples of course and the lecturer would have stimulated their thinking. The biggest problem was in the experiment is to deter the actor, but to say something meaningful.

But his style had attracted the interest of the actors. The psychologists were the results of their study so impressed and convinced that they were proposing to increase the motivation of students in that no longer hold professors lectures, but actors to train for it.

contribution to the future of humanity: Who is so gullible, it also does not deserve better. Maybe the Dr. Fox experiment is also the best invention since it is e-learning?
