4. A complex World of Accelerating Change
Can we deal with incessant and accelerating change and complexity without changing our thinking, traditionally our thinking has been designed for routine, for habit.
We learned how to do our job .
The world in which we now live requires that we continually relearn, that we routinely rethink our decisions, and that we reevaluate the way we work and live.
There are some thing we can consider it
Consider a simple feature of daily life: drinking water from the tap… with the increase of pollution, the poisoning of ground water.
For example, to put less money into the improvement of water quality at increased risks to human health.
consider the quiet revolution that is taking place in global communications.

5. A Threatening World
A world in which we can no longer expect the knowledge or data we will need on the job, because we can no longer predict the kinds of jobs we will be doing.
A world in which powerful technologies are interfaced with simplistic thinking about complex issues:” get tough on crime!” “ three strikes and you're out!” “adult crime, adult time!”
A world in which national mass media gain more and more power over the minds of people.
A world in which self-serving ideologies are advanced in expensive media campaigns.
A world in which both freedom and safety are increasingly diminished for greater and greater numbers of people.

Through it, we can appreciate the intellectual work required to change our thinking in foundational ways.

8. Conclusion The world is quickly changing.
There are many complex world and we can accelerating change.
There are many different threatening world.
The relationship between change, danger, and complexity.
The effect of question to challenge of becoming critical thinkers.
