Answer:

In this excerpt Ferlinghetti is not proud of new America.

Explanation:

Ferlinghetti's way of referring to the new America shows us that he is not proud.

There is much irony in his words when he speaks of <em>"the vast empire carrying its corporate monoculture around the world." </em>

The new America is more technological than with values and that is what is criticized in this excerpt.

Even if we search the full text we can see how Ferlinghetti talks about<em> "to save us from ourselves and how to survive our own rulers". </em>

So we can conclude that he is not proud of New America.

How does Michio Kaku develop the idea of an impending scientific revolution in “Choreographers of Matter, Life, and Intelligence
motikmotik

by praising the efficiency of modern-day Internet research  doesn't relate to anything regarding "Choreographers of Matter, Life, and Intelligence" when it comes to argumentation. Comparing scientific knowledge to grains of sand on a beach  is poetic, but it is no argument either. Proving names of modern scientists and their contributions also shows nothing but the scientists and their contributions themselves. It doesn't work as proof for <em>"an impending scientific revolution".</em>

What Michio Kaku does, as the good scientist that he is, is to show evidence. And he does so "by providing quantitative proof of recent scientific progress"
