First sentence: "Dating" is a general semantics technique that involves appending dates to our evaluations of people, objects, and situations as a reminder that change occurs over time-John Doe (2000) is not John Doe (2001), the economy ( of the 1990s) is not economy (of the 1980s)-and that to better understand people, objects, and situations in the present, which can be useful in making predictions about them in the future, it can help to look back at their past.
