Many people take risks pursuing their dreams, yet there is a difference between taking risks and being reckless. Without risk-takers, humanity would
not have explored new frontiers, created advanced technology, or walked on
the moon. Reckless behavior, on the other hand, often leads to disaster. Write
a brief essay in which you compare risk-takers to those who act recklessly.
Support your ideas with specific examples from your observations, studies,
and the reading (pages 32-33). Write at least three paragraphs, and use three
or more words from this unit.
