Templates for 2050: Culture of-2.docx

Looking Backward 2050 is a take home final. You should be able to complete it in two days. First day: (1) Completed in advance: Imagine your ideal world and paint me a word picture (about five pages) the goal here is to let me see life as it is lived in your best world (essay, short story, poetry, video, illustration or whatever). It's your world; show it your way. (2) Do the chart for the four cultural paradigms! Use Radical Liberalism from the book for the USA 2016. Give your culture 2050 a name and fill in the boxes for Legitimacy, Organization, Basic Unit and Concept. Modify your basic truths with the concessions needed to make them work , as in the Radical Liberal example - HIERARCHY OF MERIT/ELECTORAL EQUALITY. DO THIS USING PENCIL AND PAPER!!!--YOU CAN USE YOUR COMPUTER IF THAT WORKS BETTER FOR YOU. (3) Rough out your explanation. What changed and how? Do a paragraph to a page comparing 2016 and 2050 on each of the four cultural dimensions. WORK FROM YOUR CHART!!! (4) Do the James Madison thing. Look at your people (Human Nature(s)) in 2050 and figure out the kind of government that will work for them. Then, like Adam Smith or John Maynard Keynes, devise economic structures that will allow them to produce the things necessary for the good life according to their paradigms. MAKE A CHART FOR THE TWO STRUCTURAL DIMENSIONS. (5) Write a paragraph to a page for each of your structures explaining how they match up with the human nature as it is understood in your 2050 culture.

LEAVE IT OVERNIGHT.

MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AND TYPE YOUR CHARTS.

INSERT YOUR CHARTS IN THE TEXT FOR EASE OF READING

READ THE WHOLE THING

WRITE YOUR CONCLUSION: LOOKING BACKWARD
(A page or two on the revolution (evolution, if your world remains Liberal) that resulted in the new culture and /or way of life.)
