The year 2012 is dominated by the Far East - that's the opinion of Matthias Horx, future trend researcher . «We reach from an American into an Asian era», the 56-year-old researcher explains to the German News Agency dpa. The U. S. culture has characterized the world for the past half of a century. Now the Asian culture is on the advance - for example as in questions of faith (Buddhism) or cuisine. The integral way of thinking also meets more approval. «Everything is connected with everything. This trend will further grow», reports the founder of the Zukunftsinstituts (German Future Institute).
