Well, we can prepare them to handle change. For all we know is that the world will continue to change. In a globalized world, we need to educate future generations of world citizens.
We can, among other things, give them knowledge of different social systems, cultures, languages, and religions. An understanding of how societies and cultures have evolved and changed. We can pass on our long tradition of democracy and human rights, as a natural foundation for our society.
We can also talk about some basic rules for all human interaction. As to be tolerant, considerate and compassionate. "
