Governments should focus on solving the immediate
problems of today rather than on trying to solve the anticipated problems of
the future.
Precautions are better
than cure! The issue claims that government should take care of the present
time problems rather than trying to solve anticipated problems of future.
However i think government should not forget about any of the problem may it be
immediate or anticipated.
The problem that we face
today, if neglected, becomes grander in future. In general all the anticipated
future problems are somehow related to the present. The solution we chose to
solve the immediate problem becomes a problem for future. Usage of nuclear weapon
may solve military or war crises for that time. But, it will cause mutation in
the gens of organisms of the target location in an irreversible manner.
The problems that we face today if neglected can turn even bigger problems. Considering the example of air pollution faced now a days. During the era of industrialization and auto industries’ booming phase, i.e. during late 19th century, today’s environmental crises could have been anticipated. Earth today is at an edge of global warming and if only we could have anticipated the carbon/hydrocarbon emissions while it was not in the present state of alarm. Then it could have pacified the environmental degradation. However, it is a basic human tendency to avoid problems till it reaches an alarming state. Nevertheless, anticipating a future problem and trying to avoid it, is essential criteria for sustainable development.
Sustainable development is a new way of using resources that claims to make the resource available for long run, by using it wisely. However, if we avoid this approach and try to solve all our problems on the basis of the present need of resource. We will end up with no life support in near future. For example the net population of word today is rising at an exponential rate to support such a high population we need large energy resource. If we use up all the resource to support present population the future is doomed. Hence we have to deal with today’s problem while keeping in mind the problems that might arise due to the course of act we selected for the immediate problem.

Conclusion is that the problems, present or future, should be taken into
consideration as both might be interrelated. We should take care of the
immediate problem and never forget to anticipate the result of our solution.
Nevertheless both problems should be solved in an optimized manner so that the
solution to today's problem does not become a problem tomorrow.
