In a way, some of the worst behaviors and conditions are rooted in basic emoti
ons.  One of the things hat futurists look at more than politicians and
social planners is the concept of culture.  Rascism and poverty are products
of culture.  You can invest loads of money or push for improving education
into a depressed area, but things won't change until you change the overall
culture these areas created on their own.  While I'm not a fna of Oprah
Winfrey or any of her cult creations, her girls school in Africa is an
attempt to build these girls up into self confident people who are not
trapped by their surroundings.  There was controversy a few year's back about
visitation rights by these girl's parents.  The claim was the school was
stealing their souls or some crazy idea like that because they were isolated
from the thing their family believed made them who they are.  Apparently
rape, incest, and liberal amounts of physical and verbal abuse are
ingredients they feel their daughters were missing.  It's hard to change a
culture that does not want to be changed.
