Video essay structure:

1. Discipline or Field of enquiry: Analysis and possibilities (scientific, data, etc...)


2. Topic: The last human birth and how many people will there ever be.
3. Actual task (What is the question you are being asked to resolve): When will the
last human be born? And, how many people will there ever be?
4. How does the video introduce the discipline, field, context and topic?: They
start talking about how the human future it's seen taking into account the actual
circumstances, and the possibilities of an apocalypse (how it distresses the people,
etc…) which take them to the principal topic that is the mean question, analyzing
data, possibilities, etc…
5. What is the focus of the introduction: The focus of the introduction is the human
distress about a possible apocalypse, this before analyze the number of the births
and the circumstances in the past and how they influenced in the human
reproduction, all this to appoint later to the principal topic that is the question asked
as title of the video.
6. Does the introduction include a clue about the structure of the video? If so,
what clue?: Yes I think the video includes some clues that can help the viewer to
conclude what is the mean topic of the video. It could be through the hints that it
launches on the different issues that worry humanity, especially the future. When they
start talking about a possible apocalypse, reproduction in the times of before and
how circumstances influenced
7. What is the question posed?: The question posed is about: When will the last
human be born? How many people will there ever be?
8. (Section 1: Context and theory) Summarize this section in at least 20 words:
The actual different circumstances, like the politic, social, even environment
problems, take the humans to think, When is gonna the end come? This question
was asked even by people before us. We all ask that, and in evidence that we were
asking that even at the start of the time, and it’s uncertain the answer, the humans
are getting distress about this aspect, something that takes us to the main question
(that we treated before this).
9. (Section 2: First issue) Summarize this section in at least 20 words: The first
issue or situation is: What would happen if humans don’t leave earth? Well, this first
issue implies the progressive extinction of species, not immediately, but it could
happen with the pass of time, also, in case we survive long time after, it means that
there will be 100 trillions to be born, that its 50 times bigger than the number of
people that live now, through my perspective it could be a problem, exceed the birth
rate.
10. (Section 3: Second issue) Summarize this section in at least 20 words: The
second issue or situation is: What would happen if humans leave earth? This second
issue, this could imply expanding to other planets or living in artificial constructions in
space, this if we were capable of doing it, obviously also if we have the resources
and energy necessary, to try other different ways of life, giving us the capacity to get
10 sextillion of human lifes.
11. (Section 4: Third issue) Summarize this section in at least 20 words: The third
issue is: What would happen if humans leave the Milky Way? Well, this issue implies
the capacity to expand 10 octillion lifes. Also probably we could expand the capacity
of energy, making us easy to live near black holes for example. Moreover, we could
expand to 1 tredecillion potential lives, expanding new forms of life and more that we
could imagine.
12. What is the main finding showed in the conclusion? The future depends on us,
the action we take now will have an impact on the future of the people who will be
born.
13. Summarize the conclusion in one sentence: What we do now, matters to the
people who will exist in the future, no matter the numbers, uncertainty, possibilities,
births, etc…
14. What are the implications of that conclusion? What does it mean? It means that
if we want the best for the human future, we have to start taking action now,
improving our quality of life, making sure the best for us and for the people, taking
care now of the things we consider can be better.
