How do you think people in the future will describe our civilization? What will they admire? What will they criticize?

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

People in the future could describe our civilization in many ways. Considering what may happen in the future (new way of goverment, and/or the shape of life.) They could admire the ways we built our towers, or how we lived, or maybe even how we celebrated certain events. For example, how we celebrated Mardi Gras, with parades and food. Then again, they may think the parades were ludacris. And un-human like.

People in the future would most likely criticize how we treated people based on how they looked/ the color of peoples skin/ and how much money they had. They would most likley belive that we were un fair to others and straight up rude.

People in the future could think many things about how we live now.
