Critically Explain how people envision the future differently in the early 18th century (1700-1774) compared to the later 18th century (1774-1812)?

Explain how people envision the future differently in the early 18th century (1700-1774) compared to
the later 18th century (1774-1812)? Answering this question will comprise the main thesis of your paper.

Everywhere there was the weight of the future pressing back upon the present. In other words, if people in
the present did not take the future into proper consideration, then the risk was that the future might turn out
far less than ideal. So, in this paper I want you to focus on competing visions of the “future” as they changed
over time from the early 18th century to the late 18th century.
