Concerns over global warning have become public and scientific issues over the years. Conflicts between groups have never ceased over centuries. Armory industries are flourished in the middle of continuous long and enduring peace talks. Ever since the ancient civilization people have been trying to find out the road to eternity, but at the same time people are trying to destroy one another, enforcing similarities above individual differences and executing genocides on behalf of puritanism. Ever since the “code of Hammurabi” people have been aware of their rights to live in this planet of earth, but conflicts in humanity remains as serious issues in every generation. Scientists, educators and politicians are aware of the needs to develop programs such as sustainability, but at the same time they also develop programs to destroy the potential life resources that may sustain life. Numbers of creatures have disappeared from the earth not by natural causes but by deliberate acts of human behavior.
Eros and thanatos have been parts of personality, but history of human civilizations are so much influenced by survival of the fittest, not by natural selection but by war and slavery. The age of enlightenment with its anesthetic invention might be a good example of how an innovation creates a better world or the generation. The invention of atomic bomb might not be a good example of how an innovation being misused for destructive impacts. Psychologists all over the world have ceaselessly participated in exploring any possibilities to find a better world for human life in every generation by understanding the profiles of human beings to create life improvement in the society and each individual in order to find better life and happiness.
Issues of well-being and self-actualization as well as the meaning of life have become important in this modern society where superficial attachments through electronic devices have replaced the direct social communication. The classification of abnormalities has changed due to what Bronfenbrenner called as the chronosystem. It is indeed true that Chronos devours life. It is indeed an important issue that our concerns may never resolve any problem in the future to come, but our efforts to find solutions in a very limited time frame may trigger ideas to find better solutions in accordance to needs of people in their societies at a certain period of time. Let concerns devour us not, although we can not escape from the Chronos. Let us get together to find the save roads in any possible way for our generations for a better world!
