The Decision-Making Process Notes Punishments should be dealt to the rule-breakers Sharing is caring We should help each other out We should try to please the members of the community to the best of our ability No violence Food should be distributed to all members of this community, as long as they follow the rules and work Chores should be done in a daily rotation If violence becomes the norm, people will panic Nobody should be allowed to violate others’ human rights. In order to not be violent, no external injuries should be dealt to rule-breakers Humans are good if they are in a community Humans can become selfish if they’re not satisfied Punishment should be missing meals Leaders should be selected through voting. And elections should be fair. In a state of emergency, people are allowed to overturn a rule list of chores/tasks - food and water gathering, cooking and washing dishes, exploring the island (in 2s, to avoid casualties), laundry and cleaning up Order of Importance of Statements/ Ideas Nobody should be allowed to violate others’ human rights. This is because even while we are far away from society, we are still human. Because we are still human, human rights still apply to us, and we still have no rights to trample on others’ basic human rights In a state of emergency, people should be allowed to overturn a rule In a state of emergency, such as for self defense, a person should be allowed to protect themselves. Also, when a person is sick and cannot perform their chores, they should still be allowed to eat Leaders should be selected through voting. And elections should be fair This is so that everybody’s opinion is considered In order to not be violent, no external injuries should be dealt to rule-breakers This is so that we do not encourage any violence. (Except for in the case of an emergency) Punishment should be missing meals Because no external harm should be done, an internal punishment like missing a meal or two should be dealt. No violence This is so that we do not physically harm or injure one another Punishments should be dealt to the rule-breakers This is to show that rules are important, and that there are consequences to breaking them Food should be distributed to all members of this community, as long as they follow the rules and work This is to encourage members of the community to work, and to follow the rules. (Kind of like bribing them with the necessities to live, in exchange for obedience) We should try to please the members of the community to the best of our ability The thinking behind this idea is that if all members of the community are happy, there will be less conflicts Chores should be done in a daily routine This is so that nobody gets frustrated with their job (another way of violence prevention) Rules No matter what the situation, every human being is entitled to human rights. Violation of these rights will lead to consequences Rules can be overturned in case of an emergency, but the overturning must first be approved by the leader Leaders are to be selected through voting, and no bribing or threats or physical violence are to be applied before, during, or after the election process, by the election candidates. A leader’s role is simply to gather the members of the community, and to make sure that issues are addressed, and that they are solved, with the help of mandatory input from all members of the society. The leader must also participate in completing the chores, and will be dealt the same consequences as the other members of the society if they fail to complete their daily task. The leader is to be treated the same way as all members of the society, and shall not be granted special permissions. They are not allowed to be exceptions to the rule No physical violence is allowed, and any physical contact resulting in severe injuries will result in dire consequences No external injuries shall be dealt to rule breakers as an official punishment The punishment that will befall rule breakers will vary depending on which rule is broken, as well as the factors that led to the rule being broken. Therefore, punishments will vary depending on the situation The common punishment for mild rule-breaking will be missing a meal, or receiving a very small serving of a meal, in order to avoid violence Punishments are to be decided by a vote that includes every member of the community, except for the rule breaker It is mandatory that as long as there is food, that the food be distributed amongst all human beings, as long as they follow the rules, and complete their assigned tasks Tasks (or chores), are to be done in a daily rotation. Except for in the state of an emergency you will not be given food if you fail to complete the given tasks. Chores that can be assigned are fixed, and the leader is only allowed to create new chores with the agreement of all members of the society When making a choice that applies to every member of the community, input from all members of the community must be considered.
