In “By the Waters of Babylon,” John says, “Perhaps, in the old days, they ate knowledge too fast.”  As we discussed in class, Stephen Vincent Benet wanted readers to inquire and explore the dangers of developing and using technology too quickly.   In one paragraph:

  • describe a technology from today that we use without considering the dangers,
  • offer suggestions as to how we could use it more carefully, and
  • at the end, paste the url of a website from which you  did some reading about the dangers of using the  technology.

Earlier in the year, you researched a societal problem of your choice.  You should have lots of proof, in the form of statistics and/or examples, that the problem is fairly recent and can be traced back through history.

In one paragraph:

  • explain what the societal problem is, and
  • provide some proof that the problem exists (you should have way more information in your notes than you can fit in a paragraph).

As we have explored and discussed in class, human behavior has negatively impacted our planet.   Is it too late for the Earth to forgive us for the ways we have treated it?  In one paragraph:

  • share textual evidence from an online article of your careful choice that proves how human behavior has negatively impacted our planet,
  • discuss how the damages caused by the human behavior you share can be reversed, or why you think it's too late, and
  • at the end, paste the url of the website from which you  gathered evidence.
