Minute Paper 1/24/08

Today in class I thought the ideas expressed were more broad than the last set of papers. I think that because we were forced to think about the world or "community" we basically had to make a choice about the positive or negative future that we may one day live in. Many people stated in their papers that clearly there was no way to know or predict the future, but everyone either decided that the future was going to be a better place because mankind recognized its faults and corrected them, or failed to do so resulting in a world that was faced with change because of the degradation of the planet. That's my take on how the papers were organized, I did make note that many people believe that we are going to experience a major change in environment due to global warming. That seemed to come up in over half the essays.
