SEMANA 11

Family life in the future

Te world we live in seems completely normal and what we do seems logical and
correct. However, everything that is normal now was different in the past.
According to the Sociology Professor Pepper Schwartz, family, love and relationships
will change drastically. In 90 years, technology will have changed our lives so much that
social constructions will be diferent. Families will become androgynos. Household task
will no longer be one person´s job solely based on gender. That is, men will stop being
who provide to the family on their main breadwinner in less than century. Men and
woman wil take care of the house and work to earn money.
Schwartz says that there will be many cases of subrogation, in addition to women who
can´t have children due to natural causes, woman a very good income will avoid having
many pregnancies. The options may be to have children outside of the mother´s womb.
This will help elimanate the idea of woman as more responsible for children than the
father.
Thanks to scientifics advances there will be fewer cases of children with physical or
mental defects because it will be detected and corrected before delivery. Divorces cases
will still be common. The cups of these will rise and fall depending on the economy. The
life expectancy will be higher, and the average person will have aproximately 3 marriages
during their life. The cost of living will rise a lot, that will make it almost impossible for
families to have a house for themselves. Also, raising children will be very expensive. so,
the state will have the provide a subsidy for education. Only very poor and very rich
people will have more than two children.

Vida familiar en el futuro

El mundo en el que vivimos parece completamente normal y lo que hacemos parece

lógico y correcto. Sin embargo, todo lo que es normal ahora era diferente en el pasado.
Según el profesor de sociología Pepper Schwartz, la familia, el amor y las relaciones
cambiarán drásticamente. En 90 años, la tecnología habrá cambiado nuestras vidas tanto
que las construcciones sociales serán diferentes. Las familias se convertirán en
andróginos. La tarea del hogar ya no será el trabajo de una persona únicamente en función
del género. Es decir, los hombres dejarán de ser quienes proporcionan a la familia su
principal sostén en menos de un siglo. Hombres y mujeres cuidarán la casa y trabajarán
para ganar dinero.
Schwartz dice que habrá muchos casos de subrogación, además de las mujeres que no
pueden tener hijos debido a causas naturales, una mujer con muy buenos ingresos evitará
tener muchos embarazos. Las opciones pueden ser tener hijos fuera del útero materno.
Esto ayudará a eliminar la idea de que la mujer es más responsable de los hijos que el
padre.
Gracias a los avances científicos, habrá menos casos de niños con defectos físicos o
mentales porque se detectarán y corregirán antes del parto. Los casos de divorcios
seguirán siendo comunes. Las copas de estos subirán y bajarán dependiendo de la
economía. La esperanza de vida será mayor, y la persona promedio tendrá
aproximadamente 3 matrimonios durante su vida. El costo de vida aumentará mucho, lo
que hará que sea casi imposible para las familias tener una casa para sí mismos. Además,
criar niños será muy costoso. entonces, el estado tendrá que proporcionar un subsidio para
la educación. Solo las personas muy pobres y muy ricas tendrán más de dos hijos.

Activities:
1. Read the article again and answer the following questions.
a. Do you agree with his predictions? Why or why not?
If I agree with the predictions, because as time goes by, people's lifestyle will
change thanks to technological advances, as people constantly improve and
think about our economic and social well-being.
b. Would you change anything about them?
Well, it would not really change anything that the teacher predicts, because
people must constantly grow with the change and that as human beings we are
evolving and our life condition must be different.
c. Do you think that some of these predictions are already true?
I do believe that some of the predictions are true since in this century, the
decisions of couples are in favor of their progress, the more economic benefits
they have the better the life situation, now they think about the emotional and
economic well-being of each one of them. Each one is directed to their
progress.
d. Are some of these predictions impossible?
The prediction of pregnancy outside the womb is one that is almost impossible
to develop. But there is no doubt about the technological advance and who
knows that they can happen in 20 years.

The world in 2050

Scientist already know for sure what will happen in the future. Compare your
predictions about the future with the experts predictions. Were your guesses it rigth?
One important change in the future will be the temperature. Scientist say that by 2050
the planet will have a temperature increase of 3 to 4° C. It seems like nothing, but it will
have enormous effects in the ecosystems. Researchers analyzed greenhouse gas
emmisions and not even the most optimistic scientist´formulas result in such a low
percentage.
By 2050, the sea level will be 25 centimeters higher. With higher temperatures, the
defrosting process in Antartica will become twice a fast. The glaciers are going o melt.
This will result in an increasement in the sea level. Scientist´s calculations say it will
increase 50cm by 2100. Another consequence will be the floods. The likelohood of
flooding in coastal towns will rise more than nine times. The economic losses will be
greater than 50 billion dollars.
The growth of the himalaya will be another change. In 2050 the highest mountains
range is going to be 165 millimeters higher due to the movement of Indian plate below it.
The nearby towns are worried about the possibility of earthquakes in the area.
Eating fruits and vegetables is going to be difficult. There won´t be enough crops to
meet the world demand. There will be serious consequences for species such as birds.
Scientist says that in 2050 , 99% of seabirds will have eating plastics.

El mundo en 2050

Los científicos ya saben con certeza lo que sucederá en el futuro. Compare sus
predicciones sobre el futuro con las predicciones de los expertos. ¿Adivinaste bien?
Un cambio importante en el futuro será la temperatura. Los científicos dicen que para
2050 el planeta tendrá un aumento de temperatura de 3 a 4 ° C. No parece nada, pero
tendrá enormes efectos en los ecosistemas. Los investigadores analizaron las emisiones
de gases de efecto invernadero y ni siquiera las fórmulas científicas más optimistas dan
como resultado un porcentaje tan bajo.
Para 2050, el nivel del mar será 25 centímetros más alto. Con temperaturas más altas,
el proceso de descongelación en la Antártida será dos veces más rápido. Los glaciares se
van a derretir. Esto dará como resultado un aumento en el nivel del mar. Los cálculos de
los científicos dicen que aumentará 50 cm para 2100. Otra consecuencia serán las
inundaciones. La probabilidad de inundaciones en las ciudades costeras aumentará más
de nueve veces. Las pérdidas económicas serán mayores a 50 mil millones de dólares.
El crecimiento del himalaya será otro cambio. En 2050, la cordillera más alta será 165
milímetros más alta debido al movimiento de la placa india debajo de ella. Las ciudades
cercanas están preocupadas por la posibilidad de terremotos en el área.
Comer frutas y verduras va a ser difícil. No habrá suficientes cultivos para satisfacer
la demanda mundial. Habrá graves consecuencias para especies como las aves. Los
científicos dicen que, en 2050, el 99% de las aves marinas comerán plásticos.
 Activities:
1. Do you have a pet? What´s is name?
No, I don't have pets in my house.

a.- Answer the questions.

1. How do you think that the world will be in 2050? (Como piensa usted
que será el mundo en el 2050)
The world in 2050 will be very devastating, because just in 2020, many
changes are felt such as: tremors, earthquakes and very serious climate
changes, the global warming situation is getting worse, that means that in 2050
there will be no the chances of the environment being stable due to the
pollution that is the main cause of future misfortunes. Landslides, earthquakes
will occur, the heat will be unbearable, pollution will bring disease, death will
be the most visited in that year, ecological damage, loss of plant and animal
parts.

2. Do you believe there are going to be a lot of climate changes in the

future? (Crees que habrá muchos cambios climáticos en el futuro)
If I believe that there will be many climatic changes, due to global warming,
the Antarctic area will melt faster, so that the sea level will rise, generating
future floods in the coastal parts. As for the sun, it will be much stronger,
generating skin diseases. In addition to generating diseases due to climate
changes.

language.

Educacion changes
What changes will be there in the field of education?
Tecnology advancesat giant steps. Since the creation of the internet in the 60s, the
world has seen unimaginable changes. Tody the whole world is connected in real-time.
There are new inventions every year and makes artifacts that where cutting edge
tecnology obsolete. Some of the objects tht will become obsolete in 2020 are some
products and practices related to education. First, desks because new education models
and approaches say that community work, like sitting together or any evironment that
allows a more collaborative dynamic promotes.
Second are the famous language labs for language learning. Future learners will stop
using monitors and desk and replace them with more convenient devices such as phones.
Nowadays we can learn languages with apps on the phone. Maybe even books will be
replaced by apps in the future.
Third is the computer. The objective of education won't be for students to spend hours
in front of a book, instead they will use elements that have more presence in their life
such as platforms, apps or program that make learning more meaningful and life related.
Finally, in the future, teachers whos can´t use technology in their classes will become
obsolete. Those whose can´t, unfortunately , will stop being attractive to educational
institutions.

Cambios de educación
¿Qué cambios habrá en el campo de la educación?
La tecnología avanza a pasos gigantes. Desde la creación de internet en los años 60, el
mundo ha visto cambios inimaginables. Todo el mundo está conectado en tiempo real.
Hay nuevos inventos cada año y hace que los artefactos en los que la tecnología de
punta sea obsoleta. Algunos de los objetos que quedarán obsoletos en 2020 son algunos
productos y prácticas relacionados con la educación. Primero, escritorios porque los
nuevos modelos y enfoques educativos dicen que el trabajo comunitario, como sentarse
juntos o cualquier entorno que permita una dinámica más colaborativa promueve.
En segundo lugar están los famosos laboratorios de idiomas para el aprendizaje de
idiomas. Los futuros estudiantes dejarán de usar monitores y escritorios y los
reemplazarán con dispositivos más convenientes, como teléfonos. Hoy en día podemos
aprender idiomas con aplicaciones en el teléfono. Tal vez incluso los libros serán
reemplazados por aplicaciones en el futuro.
El tercero es la computadora. El objetivo de la educación no será que los estudiantes
pasen horas frente a un libro, sino que utilizarán elementos que tienen más presencia en
su vida, como plataformas, aplicaciones o programas que hacen que el aprendizaje sea
más significativo y relacionado con la vida. Finalmente, en el futuro, los maestros que
no puedan usar la tecnología en sus clases quedarán obsoletos. Aquellos que,
lamentablemente, no pueden dejar de ser atractivos para las instituciones educativas.

who have taken giant steps towards better performance educational
where each of them will be replaced by applications on the phone.
Students will sit at collaborative tables. It will no longer be practical
and finally it will not be attractive to schools; These changes are
already implemented in current schools, colleges and universities,
where the student is the one in charge of nurturing their knowledge.
