Abstract

The long history of human development shows that the role of man in the earth has evolved from a ‘slave of the heaven’ in the period of prehistoric age, to a ‘manager of the livings’ during the agricultural society, to a ‘master of the universe’ in the industrial society, to a partner of the nature in the information times, and this conforms the logical ground for sustainable development today. From this point, sustainable development in the future should be not only focusing on keeping a stable growth of social economy and promoting the process of scientific development, but also making efforts on psychology education on evolving development of the adult and the young generations and improving the efficiency of resource’s utilization. The later is significant especially for developing countries.
