The tensions towards Quality of Life<br />

� Quality has become more<br />

- Artificialization<br />

- Globalization<br />

“The degree of slowness is<br />

directionally proportional to the<br />

intensity of memory. The degree of<br />

speed is directionally proportional to<br />

the intensity of forgetting.”<br />

Milan Kundera, The Book of<br />

Laughter and Forgetting "1995<br />

In times of an uncertain future,<br />

growth and prosperity are no longer<br />

the main goals. There has been a<br />

change in values among people. The<br />

goal of maximizing money has been<br />

replaced by increasing<br />

one’s quality of life.<br />

H.W. Opaschowski (Director Stiftung<br />

für Zukunftsfragen ), 2009
