FD Practice 1: Gaining Perspective
Set a time-frame and reassess what has remained unchanged and what has disappeared across the past, present, and future.
How did past generations envision the present (which was their future)?
How do we, the current generation, envision future generations?
How do we, the current generation, view past generations?
How will future generations view the actions of our current generation?
FD Practice 2: Dialogue and decision-making with different generations
Perspective acquisition across generations
How should we consider our actions and decisions from the perspective of past and future generations?
Dialogue with each generation
What kinds of evaluations, demands, or requests might past and future generations make regarding the actions and decisions of our present generation?
The present generation envisions themselves as the author of a single chapter in the ongoing story across generations
By adopting the perspectives of the past, present, and future, the current generation envisions themselves as the author of a chapter in the ongoing story
Determining the vision and mission of the present generation based on evaluations and narratives
Taking into account evaluations and narratives from the perspectives of each generation, the present generation defines its vision and mission
