today in class we read a short story called the star.
the story centers on an exploring band of austronaughts that discover a record of a doomed race on a planet whos sun went nova. The people of the planet, knowing of their impending doom, preserved pictures , videos, pamphlets, and records of their language and culture. The acceptance of such a fate tells of a severe maturity and advancement of such a race, whom, instead of panicking, go about to preserve themselves, knowing they woulkdnt be doscovered for millenia. I dont think we of earth could do that. i think murder, rape, and crime in general would drasticly increase and that everyone would just panic. This story says to me that we of earth, while being technilogically advanced, have not advanced culturally as we should.
