Stage 1:
“The year is 2030 C.E. It has been 3 years since it has happened. In the early 21st century the world’s best scientists believed we still had time to change to avoid self-destruction. They were wrong.
The failure to stop global warming, the melting of the ice-caps and the violent shifts in climate had decimated many parts of the earth.
What was once a blue-green planet seen from the space station was now a planet heavily veiled in dark clouds, revealing shades of brown, broken only by red-tinged oceans caused by the accelerated growth of bacteria?
As this world catastrophe was unfolding, small pockets of people from a variety of regions, clung to all the things they had left that had defined them as a people.
The leaders had been entrusted with the task of trying to save some alleged civilizations from complete and utter extinction by relocating them along with all records and artifacts of their history.
In order to accomplish this awesome selection task, people representing these regions have been given an opportunity to present their case for the continued survival of their alleged civilization. As a representative of your chosen region, this is your task.”
“Does this area of the world meet the criteria of being a “civilization” worthy of preservation?”
Yes, America is worthy of preservation from the past to now and in the future. The reason i say this is because the inventions of from half a century ago had been an explosion in recording information of technological innovation. From manufacturing cheap paper in the 1840s to the pressing of compact discs in the 1980s. Based on our knowledge from the past, we can tell that not all recorded information will survive, and it would be hard to predict which information will be demanded by scholars in the future. Scholars work from a source base that is, of necessity, incomplete. Like stratigraphy's, they must analyze phenomena on the basis not only of evidence, but also of inferences about the absence of evidence. Even though the process of preservation is frequently seen to be reserving the effects of time, in fact much of the work of preservation involves forecasting how something will age and taking steps to mitigate the aging. In some sense, preservation resembles that other dismal science, economics which can at best know and understand how things have turned out in the past but is called upon constantly to make forecasts about the future in which only one thing is sure, the change will occur. We are still living in the year 2030, therefore we haven't lost the war between nature and humanity. The war hasn't ended, therefore we will find ways to solve problems and save this planet.
Stage 2:
a) What contributions has your region made that led to advancements that benefit humanity as a whole?
America has led the humanity to advancement in many ways. America invented and founded many things. Inventions such as the space craft, we used this invention to research the earth and outer space. Science researches were improved when time goes by. Thats why we have many different inventions today.b) Describe 3 stages in your region’s history. Have the people of your region advanced as a culture or has their culture been stagnant in relation to other world cultures?
I can describe America with three stages. The people in this region has evolved from a world using stones to using pencil and paper, then into a world that uses technologies such as computers.c) How has your culture dealt with keeping violent trends in the culture under control?
America has laws to follow, therefore this culture is always dealt with keeping violent trends which can be under control.d) What evidence can you present that the people of your region are adaptable to change?
I can prove only one evidence that the American region can adapt to change. We have lived for many years and many centuries, and every one adapts to changes. Therefore, people today in can adapt easily to changes in the future. Fishes have gills for a reason and every other animals have their own specialty. We human beings to too.
