1. Write one paragraph about what Becker might have meant by “the development of human societies.”
2. Write one paragraph about what he might have meant by “in time.”
3. Write one paragraph about what he might have meant by “in space.”
Remember, there are not specific "right" and "wrong" answers to this. I want to see evidence that you are thinking and trying to figure out what Becker MIGHT have meant.
