A Short History of Progress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  •  
    A Short History of Progress is a book-length essay penned by Ronald Wright and published in 2004. Ronald Wright argues that our modern predicament is as old as civilization itself: a 10,000 year old experiment we have participated in but seldom controlled. He examines the meaning of progress and its implications for civilizations - past and present - arguing that the twentieth century was a time of runaway growth in human population, consumption, and technology that has now placed an unsustainable burden on all natural systems.

  • Beyond these activities it is important that students ask themselves the following questions: What are the foundational elements of this topic? What caused people to begin exploring this topic? How has this topic been altered over the course of time? How will this topic change over the course of the next fifty years? What other ideas from the outside can be integrated into this topic in the future to make it better? Using the answers to the questions above, what qualities can I take from this topic to prompt deeper thinking about other areas of life that interest me? Instead of collecting the “assessment”, what would happen if you collected student answers to these questions instead?
