=Responsibilities of Independence= What are the responsibilities of independence? What does a government need to do?

Imagine that the class is stranded on a tropical island that has plenty of food and water and no dangerous predators. There are no adults and little hope of being rescued in the near future. How will the class work together? How will the students create rules? How will the community deal with any students who are not following the rules?

Discuss this with your group. Write your ideas below. You can write your general ideas in the General Ideas box. Sometimes questions help us think tough things like this through. You can answer the thinking questions in the question boxes. Remember, everybody will be able to see this so be thoughtful and work hard.


 * General Ideas
 * We think every week there should be a diffrent president. We think we should have a promise to keep our country clean ||
 * How will you make sure that people can have peace and quiet?
 * We think that there should be a privacy room to focus. ||
 * How will you make sure that anyone who feels unfairly treated will have a place to air complaints?
 * We have a ruler of our group to come to a compermise with the problem. ||
 * How will you make sure that group members will help if outsiders arrive who threaten your group?
 * We think that there should be guards and they trade shifts. ||
 * How will you make sure that the rules and organizations you develop protect future generations?
 * We think that we should keep a note to say how everything works and keep it in a time capsule. ||
 * How will you make sure that group members will be free to do what they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else?
 * We thinks that once a week we have a student confrence and everybody must come and we will give ideas there. ||
 * How will you make sure that the improvements you make on the island (such as shelters, fireplaces and the like) will be used fairly?
 * We think that we should share equaly. ||
