Consider Why Visions of the Future are Common in Literature. Make

Projections that have been made about how today’s society and culture will look in the coming years, decades, and centuries, all have yet to be seen in how valid they are. If you look in any sort of media: television, social media, or radio/music, you will see people giving their interpretations of what will become of our world down the road. Yet, few people look to see how our the current state of culture and society reflect the projections made by people in previous years, decades, and centuries. In looking at the visions of the future presented by both novelas, The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, and The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster, each story presents aspects of society that prominently appear today. Written during the Industrial Revolution, a time where technology and human innovation was at one of its highest points in recent history, both stories explore the possible effects of the machinery that was becoming evermore present. Both authors present aspects such as omnipotent technology, decaying human independence, and destruction of real communication, to create the artistic statement that complacency is rising within the human race, and that complacency will eventually lead to the fall of mankind. In both stories, the authors speak against human complacency and deference to technology, warning that it will lead to the creation of weaker people and society that will ultimately destroy the human race, yet that complacency is present in today’s culture and due to the

This essay written by Katherine Anne Porter, The Future Is Now, was written post World War II; however, the Cold War was brewing. At that time, people started having large families because they all believed in a brighter future for the next generation. Yet Katherine was about 60 years old at the time she wrote this essay, so she was aware of what was coming next. More war. This essay was organized well.

Thesis what worries me about the future ? This question is difficult for others to answer it because their are tennagers who are getting older in life and they think about how their future is going to be. Often the answer changes as you get older. The texts that we looked at are Anthem by Ayn Rand, “Emancipation Proclamation,” by Abraham Lincoln, Prometheus from Greek Mythology, “Critical Thinking video by Leo, and a Socratic Seminar. I am a person who is stubborn and determined person.

In this society we are influenced by many things as we get older those things change. We can be influenced by people, books, movies and go on living to always have that characteristics and influence with us. We are all influenced by the people around us or are visual viewing. We depend on the future and see the benefits of a task after we are done. In the Canadian Railway Trilogy by Gordon Lightfoot stated “for they looked in the future and what did they see they saw an iron road running from the sea to the sea” they saw the future and the good in what was to come out of their work. They saw the benefits of working hard. Gordon Lightfoot spoke “there was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run, when the wild majestic mountains

Everyone wonders how the future will be. What will change, what will stay the same? Everyone has their own views and scenarios on the future just as Brave New world and Divergent do. Brave New World and Divergent both take a look at the theme of social stability by analyzing setting, perspective and control. They both depict the future to be divided into five factions or castes where everyone is designated to a specific one. However, that may not always be the case as these two works show.

I partially agree with Pangloss’s statement because we never know what the future holds for us and we can never predict our fate therefor what happens to you today (now) or what you have is the best you can get or have in your live. For example, considering

You will hardly come upon your first view within the pages of this book without realizing that you have been brought into contact with something altogether new, something new and at variance with the traditions of other days. If you are like most of us, you will wonder if the future is to look like this, and, if it does, what your place is to be in it.

John Edgar Wideman’s, “Our Time”, tells the story of how his brother’s mistakes have caused Robby lots of trouble. Many questions have roamed through my head about Robby, John’s brother, and why he turned out the way he was. Why did Robby have to turn out to be the rebel in the family? Could it have been his home town, his family, or his friends? Those are the questions. I feel like it may have been the “ghetto”, Homewood, that influenced him.

Ray Bradbury predicted the future in Fahrenheit 451. The novel is based on a futuristic society where fireman burn books instead of reading them. Most of the technology Bradbury mentioned became true in the 21st century. Fahrenheit 451 is a novel that predicted and presented the future negatively by its views on the parlor walls, seashell radio, lifestyle, and the mechanical hound.

Clear your mind of everything and imagine what civilization would be like 20 years from now? What is the first thing that popped into your head? There are a million things that run through my mind when I think about the unknown. What if someone gave you a piece of paper and a pencil and asked you to draw what the future would look like? Could you do it? This is exactly the task that Syd Mead was presented to do. He is the creator of the art gallery I visited a few days ago.

Looking backward to the last essay, which I envision our world end up in a dystopian future. After our readings and discussions, I have reinforced my stance on dystopias. Even though global climate changes were a threat to us for a long time, and it has the ability to turn our world in a truly dystopian future. But rather than finding a solution for this threat, our human nature hypnotized ourselves that everything will go to work out by itself. And also thanks to the greedy side of human nature, we are more concerned in how to profit it. In the final stage, where people began to fight for resources, don 't expect the police to establish order for us since they have already turned against us. After all, the main reason for me to reinforced

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley depicts a future that seems happy and stable on the surface, but when you dig deeper you realize that it is not so bright at all. People almost autonomously fall in line to do what they have been taught to do through constant conditioning and hypnopædia. Neil Postman’s argument that Huxley’s book is becoming more relevant than George Orwell’s 1984 is partly true. Huxley’s vision of the future is not only partly true, but it is only the beginning of what is to come.

From this point of view I will try to describe the way I see the future coming

An envisioned future is a long-term (20-30 years) goal including vibrant descriptions of how to achieve it. It requires thinking beyond the current situation and is

My future is something I often think about. Most often, the questions that arise include the common doubts of “Am I doing this right?”, or even the occasional midnight philosophical questions such as “Why are we here?”, and so on. For the purpose of this essay, I will focus on the factors that have allowed me to reach this point in my life and how these factors influenced and continue to influence me, in order to provide me with a visualization of my future.
