A New World - Othmane Lamoumni (Morocco)

“Science and technology have been developing steadily in the past century. How about the human mind – are we finally approaching full awareness and consciousness?”

Right after hearing this sentence, Yassine yawned as he looked at his watch hoping that the boring philosophy class would end. He wanted to get ready to watch the football match. He had been waiting for it over a long period. To a casual observer it may have looked as if Yassine didn’t like philosophy or even school. This is because he admired and appeared obsessed with a sport that is widely popular in this country. He always knew which team played when and with whom. But he was, in fact, doing well in his studies. He had managed to finish the first semester very well. He was among the best three in his class, which clearly made him a candidate to graduate from high school in the next two years with a good grade that would provide him a promising future.
