<p>I need help grading my essay again! SAT is in just over a week and I'm hoping to get nothing below a 10 on my essay :) thanks for any advice in advance</p>
<p>Prompt: </p>
<p>There is, of course, no legitimate branch of science that enables us to predict the future accurately. Yet the degree of change in the world is so overwhelming and so promising that the future, I believe, is far brighter than anyone has contemplated since the end of the Second World War. </p>
<p>Adapted from Allan E.Goodman, A Brief History of the Future: The United States in a Changing World Order </p>
<p>Is the world changing for the better?</p>
<p>Essay: </p>
<p>The world, as we know it, has been through many changes that range from the ice age to the industrial era. It is constantly changing with new generations and time. Many believe that the world is changing for the better, however there are a few that are not as sure. </p>
<p>Due to global warming, recently there have been many changes made to how we treat our planet. Laws have been put in place by many countries making sure everyone contributes positively to the well-being of our planet. Schools and other organisations, such as GreenPeace, are encouraging people to recycle and are educating them on how they can make a difference and help save the planet. This movement only started up recently and is one that is improving people's quality of life. In the past, people weren't aware of how poorly they were treating the planet we live on and no action was taken to change their ways. The mission of trying to make our world a better place to live on is a change that has been made for the better. </p>
<p>Another example is the value for human rights that has been fought valiantly for. Nowadays, people have rights and are all given a fair chance at living their lives. This wasn't the case in the past where it was easy for people to take advantage of others and there was a lot of discrimination and injustice. </p>
<p>There are those who are skeptical of the belief that our world is changing for the better. For instance, from personal experience of speaking to several members of the older generations, it has come to my knowledge that they do not think as highly of all the new advancements in technology as we do. They believe that technology is making us humans lazier, dependent and ignorant. They think that though technology claims to make socializing easier, in reality, it is actually making us less sociable due to us being able to keep online relationships better than those in real life. </p>
<p>What I believe is that on the whole, the world is changing for the better. This is not to say that future generations will live lives without any faults but that they will be living in a more open, understanding and safe place for all. Slowly, but surely, humanity will do its part in giving back to the world. </p>
<p>(thanks again!)</p>
