Michael Moss’s The Extraordinary Science of Junk Food, An Elephant Crackup? by Charles Siebert, and Cathy Davidson’s Project Classroom Makeover all report that as society is progressing in a more innovative direction, we are using technology and advanced research to better our way of living. The Millennial generation is slowly becoming aware of how toxic processed foods truly are, therefore advancement in technology and medicine might make society healthier. As we are applying research to understand the congruence between animals and humans, the future might provide a collaborative environment where humans and animals will learn how to positively live …show more content…
Research and technology has allowed scientists to perform an “MRI scan on an elephant brain” to conclude that “brain organization and early development of elephants and humans are extremely similar” (Siebert 357). Through discovering the relations between humans and elephants, we are understanding the severe emotional affect that human involvement can have on animals as elephants are “becoming more destructive” (Siebert 355). The Millennial generation, because of their strive to be involved, follow the “Socratic method; the agrarian model of problem solving, in which one is responsible for spotting a problem and solving it” (Davidson 57-58). Today, we understand there is tension between animals and humans as there is a “competition for land and resources” (Siebert 354). But, in the future, we might have an environment in which society will “create conditions without it being this life-and-death situation” (Siebert 362) in order to survive. As humans are learning “how to live with wild animals” (Siebert 362), society might focus its attention “in multiple directions at once, not just on outcomes, but on process and on interactions” (Davidson 53) to ensure a collaborative relationship with wild animals. Global society in the future will probably be more willing to “... improve… learn, by sharing insights and working together collectively” (Davidson 51). We will most likely apply the same medical procedures that we are currently applying on humans, on wild animals too; “... rehabilitation… relies on the basic trauma therapy principles now being applied to elephants” (Siebert 364). Society is “gradually restoring [young elephants’] psychological and emotional well-being” (Siebert 363): this is going to build trust and sanctuary, possibly
