General Discussion / You're starting a new society!
« on: March 23, 2013, 12:11:42 pm »
This is homework.
So, my group and I have been tasked with starting a new society with the following prompt:
Your group must pick an island to land on. All traces of society have been erased, resources that have been spent are back in the earth, any animals/plants that are currently on the island are there now. You get to bring a box, the material of which is your choosing, which holds roughly 1 cubic yard. You can put anything into the box.
Pertinent info:
We've split up different parts of the assignment to be covered in each of our essays/presentations. My semi-assigned part is government. Semi-assigned because no one in the group (aside from me) has a clue about what should be put in here.
I'm here to ask for help and novel ideas- anything/everything, criticize away.
Here's my blueprint:
Government
Laws
Punishment
Enforcement
But yep, was having issues pulling up discussions/papers on this kind of hypothetical situation, and my group's about as helpful as a bag of wet tissue paper. I can provide extraneous info if you request it, (we've picked britain as the island, we've 5 members, 2m3f, aren't a religious group, box is packed full of books/tools etc).
Give me your knowledge!
