Carbon Copy

We’ve recently seen how difficult it can be to make critical decisions while working within a group. Often, someone is left to compromise what they want for the betterment of the group goal. Essentially, our group work has shown us that micro-managing (Small scale – group work) can be just as difficult as macro-managing (Large scale – Society you created that governs thousands of citizens). However, what if you had the power, outside of the nine (9) elements of our project, to significantly change who lives in your society?

We are all uniquely different; we think differently, make decisions differently, and look differently. But imagine a world where everyone was exactly the same (Carbon Copy anyone?). Would Dr. Kaftka’s dream of a conflict-free world become a reality? Maybe it's not the rules we decide upon, but the people who follow them that make all the difference.

What do you think? Would a society of ‘sameness’ (where everyone is the same) be better than our own? Please choose a side of your choice and defend your position. Let's not be the pink elephant on the fence - you have to be either pro-sameness, or pro-diversity. Dig deep.

If Pigs Could Fly...?

"When pigs could fly" is often an expression used to refer to something that will never happen. For example, I will give everyone on this blog a million dollars when pigs fly. You see, that just wouldn't happen. However, imagine a world where pigs could actually fly. Imagine if the expression actually came true how different our world would be.

Simply post your world where pigs could fly and enjoy the posts from your peers. Please don’t comment or respond to other posts at this time. Soak-in each post and relish them at face value. Remember to reach deep within your creative juices to paint a world that is uniquely your own...not just a variation of the obvious. Enjoy!
