Answer and Explanation:
The challenges that could be encountered on this planet are related to the possibility of human beings being able to live on it with all the elements necessary for their survival. Thus, the challenges would be related to the planet's atmosphere, temperature, air and water quality and soil fertility for agriculture.
To overcome these challenges it would be necessary to establish a deep and well-formulated scientific research, able to recognize whether these factors exist on the planet, making life possible.
The rules for living on this planet would be very simple, but they would promote a society that does not pollute and degrade the planet as it was done with the earth. The rules would have serious impositions for those who disobeyed them, preventing the planet from being degraded.
Sensory language is the answer I believe
Answer:
1. The author's argument is that evolutions in language such as "textspeak" do not ruin our language, rather, they are creative ways of incorporating symbols in technology.
2. The author claims that
a. Changes in language do not demonstrate decay, rather they indicate flexibility.
b. Emoticons are not just faces. They convey feelings.
c. The use of emoticons in language makes ideas to be better clarified. They ease the flow of conversations.
d. A symbol can communicate an entire message.
3. Reasons to support the claims
a. History shows that people have always complained about changes in language but time shows that these changes are not harmful but rather innovations.
b. Emoticons convey feelings of happiness, sadness, or anger during text communications. These symbols aid the flow of communication and clarifies ideas that would otherwise not be understood because the communicators cannot see each other physically.
Explanation:
In the article by Lauren Collister, she argues against the popular belief that emoticons are ruining language. She rather believes that these symbols are innovations that should be embraced by all because they ease the flow of communication. Dating back to A.D 63 when some Latin students began writing the French Language, a scholar tagged the language an "artificial language". Today, this is the language of an entire people.
Innovations in language are to be embraced not rejected.
