How can the human race Sustain another 100 years?

Question

In a world that is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can the human race sustain another 100 years?

Answer 1

The only way the Human Race can sustain through the next critical 100 years is if every individual realizes that they are apart of the "Family Race of Man"; that we are "One Global Family"; that individual destinctions in our various and unique ethnicities is our collective strength; and that we are all brothers and sisters.

Answer 2

A large disaster or disease that cuts the population way down would help the human race sustain.

Answer 3

It would probably envolve the decline of capitalism and a form of anarchy and reversion to a more "natural" state

Answer 4

If people can survive war, brutality, Stalin, monsoons and the Ice Ages, they can survive whatever the future holds.  I believe that Western culture and civilization can adjust and thrive.  I predict that the U.S and NATO will extend their power into the Caucasus region and that Turkey will join the EU, not that these are difficult predictions to make. I worry less about Western culture which is not maladaptive and incapable of restraint.  A tribal anarcho-primitivist society offers little in terms of promise and development and will never be held up as an ideal alternative to Western society, no matter what P.C. rhetoric is shoved down anyone's throat.  The real issues involve foreign policy, homelessness, nuclear proliferation, human rights, African aid, international development, foreign policy, the status of women and how to break down class and race.  In North America, this has already happened as people are not bound by race or class.

The real questions are: what is Russia's future?  What about democracy in China?  What is the future of the EU?  How will Islam survive modernization in its present form?  Can social collusion take place to support the creation of nation-states under assault by globalization, postcolonial theory, tribalism and the inner problems of literacy, instability, civil war, economic stagnation, and intense poverty?  How will Africa be affected by HIV, overpopulation, an unstable food supply, tuberculosis outbreaks, the spread of malaria, religion, tribalism, foreign interference and the collapse of economies under the weight of debt?
