Project:
Your Prediction of the Future
This chapter covers both some discussion of the methods
of looking at the future by using the social sciences, as well as some
information about what some social scientists believe will happen.
1. What do you think the US will look like for your
generation in 30 yrs when you are middle aged & at the height of your
historic power? Be specific.
2. What do you think the world will look like in
30 yrs? Be specific.
3. Give a percentage of the likelihood of occurrence
for each prediction: Example: There is a 90% probability that
there will be a permanent colony on Mars.
4. What trends do think will continue, & so
justify your predictions? What trends do you think will change or
turn around, & so justify your predictions?
Feel free to cover any type of social change you are interested
in.
