A Day in the Life of a Person with COPD Imagine what a day would be like if you had COPD and had to take an oxygen tank with you everywhere you went. How would that affect what you do every day?

What might societies need to do in order to avoid destruction?

Literary modernism was marked by a sense of loss of meaning and impending doom—at both an individual/psychological level (dehumanization, alienation) and a social/cultural/global level (institutional collapse, apocalypse).

Write an argumentative essay of approximately 750 words arguing what kind(s) of antidote(s) to this predicament that Modernist writers suggest, through their poems, fiction, and/or drama. What can human beings do to stave off these destructive forces and find some kind of fulfillment? What might societies need to do in order to avoid destruction?
