Besides numerous issues which would be considered in the field of “future researches”, the topics of “future education”¸ “future citizen”, and “characteristics of the future citizen” are of great importance, because, with whatever approach we look at future¸ it would be formed by citizens. This article illustrates these concepts. Certain issues have been investigated with regard to the point that the future citizen, his characteristics, and his method of education are affected by more general processes. These include “future”¸ “its processes”¸ “preconditions”¸ “goals”¸ “tendencies”¸ “visualizations”¸ “advancements”¸ “problems” and “the whole responses to the future options”. Then the relationship between citizenship¸ education, and citizenship concept has been explained.
