We continue to live in a world of rapid technological change that constantly engenders economic and cultural transitions. New technologies steadily transform the way we live. We are starting to see this with artificial intelligence, and the world has already been revolutionized by the internet. In the 20th century, what we might now see as more prosaic inventions like refrigeration, air conditioning, and motor vehicles changed how we ate, where we lived, and where we worked. The positive impacts of science and technology are obvious and integrated into our lifestyles. The negative impacts are often subjects of denial; the links of cigarettes to cancer, fossil fuels to climate change, and air travel to COVID-19. A billion people smoke, and last year 7 million died from smoking. The extreme weather due to global warming predicted by turn-of-the-century climate models has arrived. While the COVID-19 pandemic has receded, the health impact was massive, and we are still experiencing the economic and psychological impacts of the pandemic. These elements of our changing world are not seen as change by young people, but simply as the way the world works. This is the world they have always known. Many of them are frightened and even depressed by the world they are inheriting, but those attitudes of concern are the bedrock of the perceptions that will likely save the planet from complete degradation

The SDGs build on decades o
For Fall 23, I would like to focus the ENG 140 course on Sustainability as it is the key topic for the essay assignment that involves research of the sustainable development goals globally. This material can act as model input for research material that would be used by students in the second half of the semester. It also can align with learning activities such as reading approaches, note taking and paraphrasing.
