                        Last but certainly not least, the ability to visit the past would mean that the world's
               largest, unprecedented mysteries could be solved, the ones that seem impossible to put a                                       country, we learn that
               finger on, and the ones that billions have wondered in their minds. Who would not want
               to witness the birth of the Earth, or solve the case on the dinosaurs' extinction? What about                                          national peace
               finding ways to solve the countless unsolved crimes that remain unresolved to this day?
               That would bring justice and peace of mind to the victims' families. The benefits of solving a                              can be fostered through
               mystery are beyond what words can describe, and only by time travelling to the past would I
               have the opportunity to uncover the truth that lies beneath the giant, dark cloak of mystery.                               learning about different


                       In a nutshell, I would prefer to time travel to an enjoyable moment in the past rather                                                cultures.
               than risk peeking into the seemingly daunting unknown of the future. While deciding on a
               single time period to visit might be challenging, any choice I make would undoubtedly be
               worthwhile. Such a journey would not only benefit me but could also have a positive impact                                      What moral values do you think we can develop
               on the world in some meaningful way.
