Maintaining a critical yet hopeful worldview in achieving sustainable development
If someone asked you whether the world was getting better, worse, of stagnant, what would your answer be? According to Hans Rosling, most people would anwer that things are becoming worse. In 2017, Rosling and his peers at Gapminder collaborated with Ipsos MORI and Novus to test 12,000 people in 14 countries about how they thought the world was progressing. The test cointained 13 factual questions which were about topics such as the percentage of girls who finish primary school in low-income countries, the proportion of the world population living in extreme poverty, and more, To Rosling's suprise, most of his respondents only got 3 out of 13 question right, including those who worked as scientist, investment bankers, and senior political decision makers (Rosling et al., 2018, pp.3-9). The results of the test concerned Rosling, because having a wrong understanding of factual conditions in the world could also lead to faulty decision-making. This as the primary reason why Rosling decided to write the book titled factfulness with Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling Ronnlund.
