| Abstract | Data collected from a sample of over 200 elementary school children from Tennessee were used for studying their perceptions of the future. An interview guide-questionnaire provided information regarding children's perceptions along the following three different dimensions: how children perceived their own personal future; how they perceived changes that might happen in the future in their own communities; and how they perceived changes that might happen globally. When asked about their personal future, the majority of the children thought that they will be: living in Tennessee working in caring or public services professions after graduating from college; richer than their parents; as happy as they were at the time of the interview; and leading a life made easier by technological developments. Their biggest fear about growing up was that of being shot or hurt in some way. As for their future community, the children indicated that the world would still see significant problems with drug abuse, violence, homelessness, poverty, joblessness, and an increase in one-parent homes. Finally, children were somewhat negative in relation to the future of the world. Although they believed that cures for major diseases will be found, most thought that something bad might happen to our planet. (AA) |
