2006/06/28 17:04:19 PDT by susanne

Imagine you are transported back in time to 19th century as described in Bellamy and in lecture. How would you explain the changes that have occurred? How would you account for the success or failures of the reforms they hoped to engender? What would you say to people who asked you to describe the future for them?

Imagine you have been hired as a newspaper reporter or lecturer who will communicate your knowledge and experience of the future to the public of the 19th century. What would you say?

Choose at least two of the following topics to discuss: physical, social, political, economic, and technology. Try to reference your knowledge of contemporary 21st century conditions, 19th century conditions, and the reform agendas that people from the 19th century hoped to engender.

This can be relatively short, approximately 2 pages, about 1000 words. Think about your rhetorical style, consider your audience.
