Question

Now write a 250-word essay in which you evaluate and analyze sources 1, 2, and 3. In your essay, focus on three or four of the predictions and discuss whether they have come true. What words did the authors use to describe them? What details did they give? If these predictions came true, how would you describe them? If they didn’t, do you think they may be possible in the future? Why or why not?

Why do you think people try to predict the future? What skills might enable someone to make an accurate prediction? Cite your sources in parentheses within the text.

My predictions...

Answer 1

In evaluating sources, the essay would analyze predictions by discussing their outcomes, examining the words authors used to describe them, and the details they provided. Additionally, it would contemplate why people make predictions and what skills contribute to making accurate ones, while citing the sources used.

Step-by-step explanation:

When evaluating and analyzing sources in an essay, certain predictions and the outcomes resulting from those predictions are often the focal points of discussion. The authors might use descriptive words to express their predictions, provide details to support them, and construct scenarios based on their educated guesses. Analysis involves evaluating the reliability, validity, and bias of these sources, as well as reflecting on how the sources influence the research and thinking of the student.

Three or four predictions would be dissected to see whether they have materialized. If they have come true, the student would describe these predictions in the context of their accuracy and implications. If they have not, the student would consider whether they are realistic possibilities for the future, backing this up with reasoning.

People predict the future to prepare and create strategies for upcoming challenges, often relying on skills like critical thinking, data analysis, and pattern recognition. Accurate predictions derive from a comprehensive understanding of the subject at hand and the use of sound methodologies. In the essay, the student would need to cite sources to provide a framework for their argument, whether it supports, contradicts, or expands upon their original ideas.

Answer 2

I'll use the introduction from the previous "answer"

''The future is an abstract concept that allows our imagination to provoke worries and hopes. The only certainty that the future brings us is the technological and scientific advances that will change our way of living and the social patterns we know.''

The main reason for why the future can be predicted, are because we all need science and technology to create a more advance and different ways of life we all need but don't have in the past. For example, human created telephones to communicate with peoples in great distances, that's what people once dream of. We once had to travel thousands of miles to deliver letters, but that slowly evolves to homing pigeons, and now, emails. John Wilkins state: "Yet I do seriously and on good grounds affirm it possible to make a flying chariot in which a man may sit and give such a motion unto it as shall convey him through the air. And this perhaps might be made large enough to carry diverse men at the same time, together with food for their viaticum and commodities for traffic." His prediction came true, and that is modern days airplanes.

Isaac Asimov predicted: "Much effort will be put into the designing of vehicles with "Robot-brains" vehicles that can be set for particular destinations and that will then proceed there without interference by the slow reflexes of a human driver." That was somewhat true compared to modern days auto pilot mode being testing in tesla cars. It still need human's intervention and not completely autonomous but I think that will come in near future. He also stated that "by 2014, only unmanned ships will have landed on Mars, though a manned expedition will be in the works.", which is also true, the first successfully mar landing happened in 1971 by American Viking 1, following by a lot of more behinds. The research for manned human landing on mars was still in development like he predicted.

That all being said, the reason for predictions in the past that had became reality because people need it in the past.

Hey not there I wrote this on my own so if there're any problems then... you can fix it on your own, don't low rate my answer pls:)))))<3<3<3
