PSYCHOLOGY FOR THE XXI CENTURY
PSYCHOLOGY FOR THE XXI CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: These words were written by George Bernard Show in the first half of the twentieth century. Now in the twenty first century they still have not lost their relevance. When reading this quote, a whole range of ambiguous emotions evokes. On the one hand, the feelings of embarrassment, shame, rejection, confusion and helplessness emerge. On the other hand, there is a desire to change, transform or develop something, a sense of responsibility for the quality of your own life and the lives of people around you. People really penetrate into the depths of the Universe and have great success in this sense, and yet they can’t learn the laws of human relations with each other. What does it mean "learn to live on the earth as human beings?" This is a difficult question and everyone can give a different reply. In my opinion, "to live on the earth as human beings" means, above all, recognizing the interdependence of people, limited and temporary nature of individual life, but at the same time freedom and responsibility of each person. This awareness enables us to empathize with others, to show compassion, trust and generosity, respect and loyalty, tolerance and appreciation.
