    The aim of this article is to present to local and nonspecialists readers a new field of knowledge: The studies about theFuture. Taking in consideration that anxiety of man to know what is going to happen in the near, in the middle and in the long term, future is a constant among every social group. Some scholars have proposed that we most think seriously about what kind of world we will inherite to future generations. The text remember that thirty year ago a group of european intelectuals (Club of Rome) predicted that by the end of this century the whole world would have a severe nourishing crisis due to the population growth, and to the lack of sources of energy, but also to the raid of an intolerablepollution. The MIT made also several predictions in the same direction, and some scholars thought that a Third World War between socialist and capitalists countries would be inevitable by the same time. Finally, the text propose a reflection about the studiesof the future and Latin American societies.
