Today in class we had to create a society. First, we elected a president to control things. Well at first it was all good, but then towards the middle it started to change. A few people were contributing, but a lot of people weren't getting a chance to contrubite. I learned that everybody should have a chance to say what they could contrubite to the society. Also, if the wrong people are in charge then the democracy could turn into a dictatorship.

Today, we had to pretend that we were creating a society. Our class had to elect leaders to control the society so it was under control. at first, not alot of people wanted to be leader, but after awhile, some people stepped up and decided to be apart of a council of leaders. We had people hunt and gather food, get supplies, and make shelter for everyone. I learned that in order to have a successful society, we had to work together and follow through with our jobs. We also learned that if you want to be a leader, you had to go with how you felt would help the society that you were in!

Today we had a discussion about creating a society. We had to elect a leader that would control the society. Not a lot of people wanted to be leader at first so we decided to make a council. There was about 5 people on the council, but even though we didn't elect a leader we did have one person who ended up taking control. After figuring that all out we assigned jobs and made laws. During this process I learned that in order to have a good working society you have to work together. Also if you want something to change you need to speak up and not just sit there.

today in class we had to create a society out in the wilderness after our plane wrecked and we wouldnt be rescued for one year. So what my group did was elected leaders then we choose jobs and some laws. but what we learned is that as a leader you need to keep everyone happy because if you dont they might rebel against you and leave your society. We also learned that their would need to be laws and cosequences for breaking the laws or else everyone could do what ever they felt like doing, and get away with stealing, killing, etc.

We learned today that it is hard to set up a society with semi-close friends from nothing. After talks about building a big sled and sledding down the mountain to some kind of village, our class tried to set up council, since we were not organized enough for a democracy, no one wanted to be a dictator, and no one brought up an idea of communism. We had one law: do not kill unless someone has broken the law. We said nothing about stealing, rigging decisions, or vandalism.

We learnt about how to work together. We also learnt that if you pick to have a council, there will always be one person that is the leader. Like one person to take charge. (MARY) :). I think that was fun and we should do it again.
