2 In 50 words or less, I would characterize the current “state of the world” as…..

3 The 3-5 main types of factors I will measure to assess the “state of the world” are…

5 The timeframe I will use to compare this data against the past is…

E.g. 50 years, 100 years, 200 years

Be prepared to explain/ defend why you’ve chosen timeframe

6 Gather the actual data you will be using; make sure to note the source; make sure to not if there are any gaps in the data (e.g. for some issues, like literacy rate, we simply didn’t have complete data for the whole world going back very far).

7 Consider the main forces that have driven any changes you’ve identified (e.g. if people are living longer, why?)

8 Consider what changes or trends are not sustainable, and why.

9 Consider what specific types of new challenges the world will face.

10 Given how things have been, how they have changed, which trends of change are (or aren’t) sustainable, and the emerging new challenges – what are the 3-5 main areas the world community should focus should focus on to promote positive advancement for the future state of the world?

and I also put 5 folders you can use to write the exam

The exam is about (state of the world) positive (is better to write about) or negative

The main questions above are from 3 to 6 you must answer as the instruction say.

I will put it as 2 papers but if you could include every thing in a page or page and half it will be better (YOU HAVE TO INCLUDE EVERYTHING THE INSTRUCTION SAY)

Put the sources you got in the work cited, but also put the charts you use also at least 3-4 charts.
