I love watching the news and learning about history around the world. These are my predictions on what will happen culturally and politically around the world.
1. Turkey will fall into anarchy
Because of the success and unsuccessful rebellion in Turkey as well as terrorist threats such as ISIS and other radical Islamic groups, Turkey will either fall into anarchy or dramatically lose their power and influence.
2. There will be a rebellion against the Chinese government.
Because of the poor climate conditions and capitalistic rebellious nature of Hong Kong, an organized rebellion will form against the People`s Republic of China.
3. The political spectrum globally will sway to the right.
Due to the failed socialistic policies enforced in Europe and the US, the political spectrum and cultural spectrum will sway more conservatively.
4. Marijuana will be abundant in the US
Recreational use of Marijuana legalized in six states and the decriminalization of the manufacture and sale of marijuana in the US will make marijuana as common as alcohol in the states that have completely legalized it.
5. TV Network Stock will plummet
Because of the major shift of obtaining news from TV/Radio to the internet and the mistrust between the american people and the media. Network stocks will plummet because of the lack of demand for TV news.
6. North Korea will obtain either a Hydrogen bomb or a long range ballistic nuclear missile.
North Korea has recently expanded its nuclear program which can threaten the security of South Korea and the US. However, President Donald Trump will be very tough on North Korea.
7. There will be major technological advancements in bio-printing and genetic manipulation.
The push for the cure for cancer and the advancements of genetic modification will lead to new discoveries and cures for diseases such as AIDS and cancer. However, some people will protest and reject genetic modification on humans due to religious and moral beliefs.
