What would be the impact on the human condition if exobologists actually find life somewhere other than on Earth; a new form, bacterial, intelligent, or otherwise?

GENERAL STRUCTURAL EXPECTATIONS:

• Choose the topic that most interests you. I will entertain other suggestions for possible choices, but they must be pre-approved by your instructor no later than the end of Week 2. The instructor reserves the right to summarily reject those suggestions if I so choose
• The body of the paper must be 3 (Not 2.5 or 2.7) to 4 pages in length…but no more than that.
• The body of the paper is to be double-spaced.
• You must follow either MLA or APA formats with in-text citation notes (again, following MLA or APA formats) for all borrowed or incorporated ideas, information, or content. No direct quotations of any other source.
• Fully incorporate ideas into your own words and argument (but don’t forget to reference them anyway!!!!). I want to hear your voice and read your thoughts, not someone else’s.
• Any discovered plagiarism will be dealt with as per the CMU student disciplinary handbook
• There must be a separate cover page which includes:
• Title (of your choice)
• The topic you chose
• The course name and number
• Your name
• The date of written
• The name of university
• There must be a separate reference page with a minimum of (3) informational sources, properly cited (again, following MLA or APA formats). The options for reference materials are certainly the textbook…specifically, but not limited to, the material in Unit 1…and any other sources (a minimum of 3 required) …as long as they are reputable, scholarly/academic, and evidence-based.
