Government-Economic Project
| SETUP:
Pretend you were on an ocean liner with about 3000 people in the South
Pacific. You run into a storm.
All electronics are lost. The storm rages for several days and the ship
runs aground on an uninhabited (volcanic) island.
Everyone gets off. Just as
everyone gets off and is ashore with plenty of provisions, the ship slips off
the reef and into a deep abyss without any trace. The passengers must come up with a system of government and
an economic system because you have no idea when a rescue will occur. |
| TASK*: Your group is assigned a
type of government and economic system that you have to create.
