Final Society

I did not change my society because I felt that the combination of my civilians would have proven to be the most logical and amiable. In my society the most important roles are filled. Stephen Hawking’s represents a fraction of the intelligence in this society, as well as enlightenment and encouragement. Hawkings represents hope and the overcoming of obstacles, which is an essential task to learn when being in a society and in life. Other members such as Elizabeth Bennet and David Alfaro fulfill represent understanding of the world around them and a separate way of thinking. In society it is important to have people who can think beyond the boundaries of what we are trained to think at an early age as they can see the world through a different lens, potentially offering great insight to those who see through the lens of the majority. Other members such as Bill Cosby work to entertain the people of the society, making sure that happiness and laughter is not scarce. Following entertainment in the list of reasons as to why I kept my society the same is military. Every society needs some form of protection or military force, which is where Robin Hood comes in. His superior military tactics are not a force to be reckoned with and are further complimented by his loyalty to the people. After all, nothing is right in a society unless it agrees with or compliments its other aspects.

This society in fact has its flaws. One of its flaws can be found in the fact that there is only one female member of society. This can be a negative feature of society simply because there is only one female member of society which goes against the common saying, “two is better than one.” Another flaw in this society is that each member withholds different beliefs both politically and religiously. Further disagreement in these categories could potentially lead to violence. The flaws in this society mainly rely on each individual person and how they are willing to interact with one another, after all it is human nature to feel a sense of disagreement in regards to others ideas or character.

Ideal Society

Stephen Hawking: Stephen Hawkings' role in this society would be that of a scientist and leader. His intelligence and ability to perform at incomparable levels, despite his condition, allow him to be viewed as an enlightener, inspiring others through his own life and achievements and through living by example. Stephen Hawkings' power is not found in his inability to move or speak but in his charisma and liveliness that is existent in a lifeless body. Hawking's is an essential piece of my ideal society because he represents the greatest qualities in a leader.

Robin Hood: Robin Hood's role in society is that of warrior, dreamer, and teacher. His loyalty to the people and willingness to throw himself into harms way for the goodness of the others reflect his warrior-eske personality. The common idea associated with Robin Hood, take from the rich and give to the poor, resembles his dream of equality among men of different classes, as well as liberty among the people. Through his acts of immoral charity he is able to instill a sense of hope and determination into the people which is a well needed characteristic when times get rough.

Elizabeth Bennet: Elizabeth Bennet's role in society is that of a female leader and dreamer. Her futuristic persona and way of thinking represent her ability to be a female leader, in addition to her willingness to speak her mind no matter the audience. She is ahead of her time and does not settle for less that she wants. These characteristics truly are essential to being a leader.

Bill Cosby: Bill Cosby's role in society is that of an entertainer, scholar, teacher(through his comedy). Through the comedy he creates about every day life Cosby is able to reach a broad spectrum of audiences ranging from young adults to elder folk. His comedy relates to the average family life, teaching people about every day life and dilemmas while murdering them with laughter. He would be an essential part of society to help people take a look at themselves.

David Alfaro Siqueiros: David's role in society is that of an artist who's masterpieces usually reflect the government's effect on the people of society, especially in Hispanic communities. David is an essential part of my ideal society because he is able to live in one world made up of art and politics, as opposed to separating the two. It is important to be able to live one identity and recognize the world around you than live two, and be oblivious to what is really happening. through his art he can keep the society true to its values.
