Unexpected changes and various types of paradigm shifts occur in the recent extreme changeable circumstances with higher uncertainty. Who can tell which direction the society should go or where it is destined to in the age in which the situation is quick to change and not easy to be foreseen? When we try to see the future of the society and the planet, we can say that we keep searching for a fundamental question such as ‘what is a human-being?'

We are staying, at the same time, in the whirlpool of the astronomically increasing information on daily basis. Thus, it is very important that we find out with expert eyesight, visualize symptoms of something totally hidden or something unseen but existing under cover, to create meaning and make values for them with a wider view, deeper thinking, precise analysis, and exquisite awareness.
