A year ago, I bought a small, wispy notebook for a dollar at target. It contains only 82 pages, each about the size of my palm. All of them are made from the same thin, grey paper used in newspapers. On the cover of the book is a picture from the children’s story Oh, the Places You’ll Go! By Dr. Suess (Theodor Seuss Geisel). It shows the main character in the tale, a small man dressed entirely in yellow, laughing as he sails a hot air balloon across a cotton ball cloud sky. As its cover suggests, I have written the places I will one day travel to inside the notebook. Depicted inside are destinations, like the Salar de Uyuni salt flats in Bolivia, Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona and the historic city of Bagan in Myanmer. All would find …show more content…
However, the New York of the future might be of an entirely different character. By visiting it, I might be able to gain a better sense of what the world is likein the 41st century. If the city is still flourishing, I would learn things I never could in my own time period. In this newer New York, humans might know if there is life of other planets, or have a better appreciation for Earth’s environment. The human race might be able to create life, or understand how it first began. Researchers could have found ways to gaze through time—to open up molecules and easily understand the past. We may know just why we need to sleep, comprehend why all matter behaves according to the laws of physics, and understand how time works. 2000 years from now we may have answered questions we presently do not know enough to even ask. How we make and what we consider art may have developed dramatically. The music and literature published in the 41st century could ring superior to the pieces we know now. By the year 4015 medicine may have eliminated ailments that are terminal today. A better understand of phycology could allow the general public to lead happier lives. By visiting this future, I could have a chance to build it upon returning to my own time period. I could make the world around me better from what I had

The book, Wayfinders by Wade Davis, talks about ancient wisdom that many people may think has been lost, but Davis says that it has not. What really happened to it is that the cultures—mostly European—who explored the world and found ancient native people made their wisdom seem like it was not as intelligent as their own wisdom. They made it seem unimportant and not worth learning. So, in some ways it has been lost, but it was not lost like a person loses his house key through a hole in his pocket. The ancient wisdom that it no longer part of the body of knowledge in the world was thrown away by the explorers who thought they were smarter than the natives. Now we know that the explorers were not smarter, just more powerful. Davis talks about

During the Holocaust, many townspeople were aware of the events occurring within the concentration camps. In the book, Night by Elie Wiesel, the townspeople remained complacent with the Nazis. Some people even went as far as taunting the Jews when they were transported through towns. The Nazis during that time had a very strong influence and used fear to incite citizens to remain cooperative.
I am writing this proposal to inform you and The U.S Department of Health and Human Services about some of the negative aspects that happen in the fast food industry. Chew On This, by Eric Schlosser was written in 2006. This book is about many things that happens behind the doors of the fast food industry. For example it talks about what can happen to people that eat a lot of fast food. What chemicals the food has and how it is made.
As Americans, we learn about the past wars and the outcomes. As young Americans, we never received the chance to actually know what it was like to live in that era. Learning about the past times helps us understand what we did not go through ourselves. In order to receive the best chance at learning about the times, one should look at actual representations of what life was like. For example, if a person was interested in learning about World War II, that person should find it in his or her best interest to look at World War II posters. The posters would provide the person interested with an item built in that time period, for that time period, by the people in that time period. Considering that time travel
As acclaimed author Yvonne Woon wrote, “Sometimes, you have to look back in order to understand the things that lie ahead.” Reflecting, or the act of thinking deeply about a moment from the past, the present, or the possibility of such an event in the future, is an important aspect of human nature, as it serves as a method of learning and as an example of evolution. By reflecting on the modern and historical world, we are able to obtain a deeper understanding of why and how certain things happen, and then decide whether or not we are satisfied with the environment in which we live. Contemplating all the decisions that have been made and all the different circumstances our ancestors have lived through, can serve as guidance for the future.
The Literate Arts can also be used has a kind of time capsule. The future needs to know how the past was and what better way than through our literature. Our literature allows the future to know how we communicated, acted, what we believed in, our doubts, our successes and our failures. We could not make progress today without examining our past. Being an Architecture student, I have read a lot of architecture related literature, texts and journals from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s and so on. It was clear one led to another meaning the future looked to the past to learn from their mistakes and build on their successes. Our literature can give access to our soul so the world of the future can know how we thought and why we thought like that. Miller wrote about the book ‘The Information’ by Martin Amis in his text, The Dark Night of the Soul, and showed how Amis believed that this point of literature being important
And Where Were You, Adam is a realistic novel of several German soldiers holding different ranks during World War II (WWII). The book is fiction, however it describes the war so vividly one thinks one is reading non-fiction. Böll’s description of the war is so believable and because he was in the German Army during WWII. Böll shows that World War II resulted in inhumane suffering and senseless loss of human life.
The past has always influenced the future in which many generations will live in. Sometimes incidents and ideas are warnings but other times, these incidents and ideas can evolve into something that can help the future in time. From 1945 to 2015, society has been changing and improving the science behind bombs and from 1969 to 1977, the world has escalated their determination on putting men into space whereas even music and musicians during the years 1968 to 1980 influenced people’s way of life. From political, social, and technological changes, the past allows generations to evolve in life as individuals and as a society.
Imagine you are placed into the future. The year is 2100. You begin to live in this
