Solved by a verified expert:Below is the information for the assignment and below that is the question that I need assistance with.1. The first are the Cornucopians. A cornucopia is the proverbial “horn of plenty” that is many times used as a table decoration at Thanksgiving. Wright states, “When Cornucopians gaze into their crystal ball, they see a bright future. . . and reassure us that our problems are not all that serious.Where there are problems, there are also solutions; Human ingenuity and new technology are rich resources that are quite capable of solving the future problems that the Jeremiads are worried about. . . They often come from the ranks of economists, business people, and [some] politicians.” (Wright 1989, pp. 222-223).2. Jeremiads (a.k.a. Catastrophists) make up the opposing camp. Jeremiah is the doom and gloom prophet of the Christian Bible. So, too, the ecological Jeremiads “. . . see a gloomy future and warn us to change our ways. . .Their message is that things are not going well—environmental crisis is a reality—and we need to do something now if we want to prevent future disaster. This point of view is common among environmentalists, many resource specialists, and demographers.” (Wright, 1989, p. 223)Discuss where you believe you would place yourself along a continuum with Jeremiads on the far left side of the line and Cornucopians on the right end of the line.Give your reasons, backed up with factual material, for why you placed yourself at the position you chose. Be sure to correctly reference any sources you use.
