Generalizations Connected to Change • Change may be perceived as orderly or random • Can we predict change? • Select specific changes from your list, and describe which aspects of them can be predicted and which are unpredictable. Even when we know a change will take place, can we always predict exactly how things will turn out?

  7. Generalizations Connected to Change • Change is everywhere • Does change apply to all areas of our world? What are some specific changes which are universal, or happen everywhere, and some specific changes that may apply to only a smaller area at a given time?
