Assigment for Monday November 25:

147. That because of climate change, resource shortages, drones, or other unanticipated reasons, a major war will arise. –Steven Pinker, psychologist

I think this is a major concern, because I think it's already starting, and is the time to stop it. Because of all the damage the planet has been suffering by our own hand, natural resources are disappearing, specially water, which is vital for human life. I think this will start a massive war in order to have this important resource for a specific country. This will totally destroy what remains of Earth.

150. That science is in danger of becoming the enemy of humankind. –Colin Tudge, biologist, editor at New Scientist

This is also a big concern, because even though science evolution, has brought us great things, some near future advances, specially in medicine and massive destruction weapons , could become bad things for us. Like I can imagine when the find out the way to create a baby under parents wishes, changing eyes' colors, or hair's color, etc, this will create racism and more separation between poor and rich. And ofcourse weapons' advances are always a danger for obvious reasons.

151. That we will be unable to live without the internet. –Daniel C. Dennet, philosopher

A great modern concern, that our lives get consume by a virtual world, forgetting the real one.

I'm excited for the possibility of travelling through space, I think it would be the key of trying to create a contact with, if there's any, with itelligent forms of life. I think that if these happens it would change completely the way of seeing our existence, and it could be a way to increase techonological advances in ways never imagined.

Long weekend homework (Nov. 17):

I do, and I do not. I do believe there has been an evolution in human behavior, specially in waht rights concern, but even now there has been problems with children rights in some countries from Asia and Africa, such as work abuse, comercial adoption or even prostitution. Those social concerns can also apply to women, like in the middle east countries, were they are obligated to have a submissive behavior, and they can not even vote yet. There is also the everlasting debate on homosexuals' rights and acceptance.
