MANOA SCHOOL METHOD
“These four futures are
‘generic’ in the sense that
varieties of specific images
characteristic of them all
share common theoretical,
methodological and data
bases which distinguish
them from the bases of the
other three futures, and yet
each generic form has a
myriad of specific variations
reflective of their common
basis” (Dator 2009).
