Question

argument writing graphic organizer essential question: should we make a home in space? part a: claim (my position) humans should/should not make a home in space because.... or in my opinion, creating homes in space is... part b: reasons (why do i believe this?) one important reason is... because another reason is.... because

Explanation:

This is an argument - writing task. For the claim, if we choose "should", we can base it on the potential of space to solve Earth's resource and population problems. For example, space has vast resources like asteroids with minerals, and it can accommodate the growing human population. If we choose "should not", we can consider the high costs, the harsh space environment (radiation, lack of atmosphere), and the ethical questions about abandoning Earth. For the reasons, we need to support the claim. If the claim is "Humans should make a home in space because it offers solutions to Earth's limitations", then one reason could be "One important reason is that Earth's resources are finite, and space has abundant resources like water on asteroids and rare metals, because these resources can be mined to support human civilization as Earth's resources deplete." Another reason could be "Another reason is that Earth's population is growing rapidly, and space colonies can provide living space, because overcrowding on Earth leads to problems like lack of housing, strain on infrastructure, and environmental degradation."

Answer:

Part A: Claim

Humans should make a home in space because it can address Earth's resource scarcity and overpopulation issues.

Part B: Reasons

One important reason is that Earth's natural resources are limited, and space contains abundant untapped resources (like water ice on the Moon and valuable metals in asteroids), because these resources can be utilized to sustain human life and development as Earth's resources become exhausted.

Another reason is that Earth's population is increasing at a high rate, and space colonies can serve as new living areas, because overpopulation on Earth causes problems such as insufficient housing, overburdened public services, and increased pressure on the environment.
