- 2622: English in the 21st Century
- English in the 21st Century Introduction Fifteen hundred years ago the English language was the language of only a few wandering tribes. I think that in the 21st century, it will be the universal language. Already, in the 20th century, most industrialized countries speak English as their second language.

Powerful military America is the ... North American Treaty Organization, better known as NATO, which has helped Bosnia and other countries with their civil wars.

On October 31, 1919, Bertha died at eighty years of age. That was around the same time the Germans surrendered to France unconditionally to end World War I (which I got out of my own knowledge).

- ... had recommended a huge tax cut. Against stiff opposition the tax cut was enacted. In 1928, New York's Mayor LaGuardia toured the poorer districts of the city and said: "I was not prepared for what I actually saw. It seemed almost incredible that such conditions of poverty really exist." This tour of the Mayor's took place when Ann Douglas's New York was throbbing with cultural activity. In her book, Terribly Honest, she observed: "Imports [during 1918] dropped dramatically, but the economy, stimulated by the demands of foreign nations at war, filled its own needs effortlessly.

This could be related to the beginning "spark" of life through the way a baby enters the world, in material form. Humans begin to grow through their experiences and how they are raised. Each person lives their own life because of the impact these external factors have on ... the air. Without good oxygen content, humankind could not survive.
