  2. SKIT

  3. Problem 1 • Services and help come at a hefty price • Only rich can afford help • Poor or middle-class must work independently • Rich: more skilled, better opportunities • Widening gap

  4. Problem 1 (cont’d) • Study: gap causes poor to borrow from rich • Debt-to-income ratio: 1.5 as of 2010 • Might have caused global recessions

  5. Problem 2 • People before university are spoonfed • No control over decisions in life eg. Career paths • Over-reliant; require help for all their endeavours

  6. Problem 2 (cont’d) • Study: Students given tests 3 years after graduation • Test of memory retention • Spoonfed students did poorly

  7. Problem 3 • Lack of scholarships • Underprivileged youths deprived of opportunities • Unearthed gems and talents

  8. Problem 3 (cont’d) • Scholarships that benefit all financial groups today • Given to anyone who displays all-rounded characters • Eg. PSC, President’s Scholarship • Future: Does not exist

  9. Problem 4 • Adults in 2047 are too self-reliant. • Will not seek help or ask for assistance. • Make same mistakes repeatedly • Stagnant

  10. Problem 4 (cont’d) • Report by Arizona Republic • Young adults might have to solve their own problems in future • No one to turn to when in need • Shoulder the responsibility of their financial and work lives

  11. Problem 5 • Face-to-face communication is rare • Caused by over-advancement of technology • Relationships no longer close knit • People lose their social skills • Society becomes unfriendly

  12. Problem 5 (cont’d) • Study: 75% of teenagers between 12 and 17 have cell phones • Teachers: texting tends to cause social shyness and awkwardness

  13. Fundamental Problem • Given that the scenario states that relationships in 2047 are poor, leading to selfishness as well as a cold society, • It could be a problem for the people in 2047 as society will become a place where: • Nobody cares for one another • Nobody is able to communicate properly on a face-to-face basis

  14. Fundamental Problem (cont’d) • How might we improve relationships between members of the society • Such that society becomes a much friendlier place in 2047?
