Hi. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.
A textual evidence is a justification that the author uses to prove an argument presented in the text. This evidence seeks to present elements that prove that the author's argument about something must be considered correct and true. In this case, to answer your question, you should read the entire text and identify the sentences the author uses to prove that the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were crucial decades in the development of Western thought. In this case, the author can present the scientific discoveries made during this period that were essential to explain and solve several problems that humanity did not know how to solve.

I think that if you are spending so much on little necessities, then your wasting money because the only things you need to buy are the things you actually need. Not electronics, not toys, just the simple things you need. Not phones, not PS4s, nothing like that. You pretty much are wasting your life on doing those type things. Your losing more energy everyday doing stuff like that. It is really not helping much when you do things like that because like I said, your wasting your energy, your money, and trees and minerals and things to keep the ACTUAL things we need in life today, like food and shade for when it's hot out from the trees. But you also need to keep in mind, the more money we make and things, more trees go away. Animals might even be dying from this. That is how I think the changes in spending will effect the economy.
