ABSTRACT
Change is inherent to our society. The scale and rate of change accelerated throughout the 1980s and by the turn of the decade it was more than apparent that many of these changes were to be of lasting significance. The demise of the Eastern Bloc was the most dramatic series of events. The process and the promise of further upheaval will continue. As the dominant culture of the West moves towards the millennium, the psychology of the next years will mould expectations about what is to come and the visions people would wish to see.
