Dr. Hossam Badrawi Delivers an Inspiring Lecture Titled “The Future of Humanity”
Upon the invitation of the Rotary Club of Katameya, Dr. Samia Sabry, on Sunday, February 23, 2025, at Katameya Golf Club, hosted a thought-provoking lecture by Dr. Hossam Badrawi titled “The Future of Humanity.”
Dr. Badrawi began by emphasizing the role and significance of women, describing them as the foundation of life and the key to its continuity. He stressed the importance of recognizing women’s value and granting them the appreciation they truly deserve.
The Future of Humanity: A Scientific and Spiritual Perspective
Transitioning to the core theme of his lecture, Dr. Badrawi explained that the future of humanity has two fundamental aspects: scientific and spiritual. He asserted that this future relies on the ability of the human mind to comprehend it, particularly in light of the accelerating pace of civilizational progress.
He then delivered a fascinating presentation that traced the origin and evolution of the universe, illustrating the rapidity and patterns of its development. From there, he explored the evolution of civilizations, spanning from the dawn of humankind to the present day. He highlighted how, in the past, individuals lived and died within a single civilization cycle, whereas today, people witness multiple civilizational shifts within their lifetime.
Dr. Badrawi posed a compelling question: Are we truly prepared for a future where the cycles of life and their dynamics change annually? He expressed concern that not all people will possess the capacity to adapt, and that those who do will ultimately govern the rest. He warned that knowledge will equate to power, authority, and control, potentially leading to a society divided into masters and subordinates—where those who possess knowledge hold dominion over those who do not.
The Role of Future Generations in Shaping Tomorrow
Dr. Badrawi emphasized that future generations hold the key to keeping pace with the coming changes. However, they can only actively participate in shaping the future if they are properly equipped with knowledge and values.
As a society, we must foster creativity, critical thinking, skepticism, and research among young people, rather than compelling them to blind obedience, rigid traditions, or passive acceptance of information. This, he explained, requires a shift in parental mindset, urging parents to support their children with positivity and wisdom.
The Values That Young People Must Uphold
Dr. Badrawi addressed the moral and ethical values that young people should embrace, acknowledging their reservations about absolute values. He emphasized the need for society to agree on a core set of principles that we aspire to see reflected in future generations.
A Vision for Egypt’s Potential
Sharing his perspective on Egypt, Dr. Badrawi described it as a rich and resourceful nation with immense potential that, if managed wisely, could elevate Egypt to the status of a global power. However, he asserted that Egypt’s youth are its most valuable asset, and he strongly advocated for providing them with opportunities within their homeland so they do not seek them elsewhere.
The Power of Choice and the Need for Political Will
Dr. Badrawi concluded that the real challenge lies in choice. In nations plagued by ignorance and poverty, people are often incapable of making informed choices, leading them to elect the worst candidates or those who merely offer financial incentives.
He stressed that true change must come from the top down and called for Egypt’s intellectuals and experts to be actively involved in governance. He highlighted that no transformation can occur without political will, and that any change lacking shared values will not lead to genuine progress.
Dr. Badrawi urged everyone to embed these values within the youth through education, family influence, and media representation. He emphasized the importance of instilling national pride in young Egyptians, ensuring they recognize that Egypt is a great nation that deserves the best.
A Standing Ovation and Engaging Discussions
Dr. Badrawi’s lecture concluded with a round of applause from the audience, who expressed their gratitude and admiration for his insightful words.
The session was highly interactive, as members of the Rotary Club engaged Dr. Badrawi with questions on various topics. He responded patiently and appreciatively, fostering an enriching discussion.
At the end of the event, attendees eagerly approached Dr. Badrawi to sign copies of his books and take commemorative photographs with him.

- Ms. Nesreen El-Meniawy – Honorary Secretary of Rotary Club Katameya, who introduced Dr. Badrawi
