Questions from Cornelius/Green Acres

09. Looking back and thinking ahead

Asked by: Cornelius/ Green Acres | Gymnasium Seefeld, Thun

a) Imagine it would be possible to turn back the clock a hundred years. What do you think we would do differently?

b) We are naturally not able to turn the clock back, but we can learn from the past. What kind of information does the past reveal?

a) it is painful to say so, but I really don't think that we would do things differently..

human nature is looking for power, for progress, for industry etc.

maybe there are people who would try to change the thinking, to produce things without, or with less oil.. maybe the numbers of co2 emissions would be lower, but I think we sort of need a catastrophe to make us see that we really need to change things..
