Outline of academic writing

The world needs saving time and saving people

I will explain the concept of „saveing“ and how it can be interpreted in two ways. I will ask the main question „Why should we save things and how it can benefit the world?“

I answer to the following questions:

What can help make people think of saveing ( lack of money, low period in economy and so on )

What do people consume ? When? Where? What do different people do differently?

Will analyze how resources are wasted and how they could be used more efficently.

Will the progress in technology help save or will it have an oppsite effect ? (Examples)


Finally
Will summarize and try to give a realistic estimation about the current condition.
