If we are going to analyze the expectations for the future, we will have to first carefully observe the consequences coming from today's decision makers. Those who govern us. Therefore, starting from today's global context, the crises that come from this can be socio-economic or historical-cultural. Often times escalated causing regression for humanity.

Although we can eventually imagine an artificial image of the giant development of technology, that progress is happening, in many countries, especially those in development, the reality seems to be the opposite.

Having a plan, whatever it is, is the key to success or the only project that brings money. Following it rigorously in the logical course of time would undoubtedly lead us to the achievement of the objectives despite the interference of external factors.

And where better than in politics can we find such an example?

Every government of every country undoubtedly draws up a plan to face different challenges; wars and inflation are the two components that accompany each other today. As was the pandemic a few years ago.

Not only that, but the developing countries have recently shown the ambition to bring back the diaspora and more specifically the ``brains'' that they have lost massively in the last decades.

The process of leaving your country to find better opportunities elsewhere is as painful as it is progressive. Most of the young people claim to develop their knowledge in a place where the merit can be counted in prestige but also in financial monetization. We must affirm that this phenomenon is becoming common and it seems that it will have an impact for the future based on the potential that is offered. Both from the place that is losing it but also from the one that is absorbing it.

But what are the reasons that force young people to leave their countries?

One of the most discussed issues is the possibility of a higher payment based on meritocracy, which is not easy to find in Balkan countries like Albania.

So, the economy. The economic potential that the western countries have is not comparable to the developing countries. So this is the reason that they become more and more attractive to absorb qualified people from different professions.

Another important factor is the quality of life, in terms of pollution and the safety they offer. Having said that, the economic-social factor seems to play an important role in the human subconscious that often forces them to make decisions that sometimes lead to an entirely unknown adventure.

One of the first difficulties seems to be coping with a new society, culture and language, a challenge that is by no means easy as the countries that are abandoned by them continue to suffer the constant loss of human capital and talent, creating a huge hole that it may take a whole generation to be replaced.

Young people are the first to leave, partly because of the loss of hope and partly because of their spirit of searching for quality achievements. An exodus that is aging societies in the region and slowing down their development.

The best leave, it is said everywhere. And with the best are the brave, the initiators of any personal enterprise, the critical thinking and the work volunteers who would serve the country to contribute with all their physical and mental potential.

While the developed countries would benefit from all this created situation since it would first be worth promoting the competition among the locals, develop the economy and hence expand their culture. This last one, a battle not like the others, quietly, but which is getting tougher anyway due to crises and conflicts in the world.

Therefore, it is clearly understandable that in order to face the flow of movements in this globalization process, developing countries as well as developed ones will have to cooperate to create the necessary conditions to achieve economic and social stability. Domestic policies, along with external partnerships, should aim to raise living standards by reducing corruption, crime, pollution and increasing meritocracy.

People's aspirations for development and improvement of their lives are not lacking, but the slow mechanisms of the political class over the years have overcome what we can call, the last line of patience.

Time passes quickly and the expectation that one day it will get better seems to have come to an end. Everyone should feel that being content with less is no longer part of a mindset among the younger generation.

The new order aims for new forecasts and ambitions.
