OUR ARGUMENT:
===1. Economic growth positively drives the other supertrends by increasing food supplies, providing better health services, more funding for environmental research, supports transportation infrastructure. Economic growth also allows for the development of improved technological tools. It also negatively impacts other trends such as increased use of natural and other resources and deculturation resulting from increased mobility.===
