deliberate creation versus accidental creation.

        In the year 1739, a group of 100 people decided to leave the United States to form their own society on an island that a family of four had run into on a private trip into the Atlantic Ocean. They all thought that life in the United States in 1739 was lacking excitement. They believed that life should be like an extended road with many passages connected to the original one, leading people to unexplored places and providing occurrences that are not planned for. They liked the danger in life rather than being protected from it. They thought that the United States was secluding itself from the rest of the world as much as possible just to provide the element, safety, which is unnecessary in their opinion. They also liked to think of the United States in 1739 as a tree without branches where people's path of life has been laid out for them, giving them only two directions to head. This has created a wooden post rather than a tree, allowing the citizens to only head up the post or down it.

        Once they had decided on creating a society apart from the United States, they called a meeting to plan things out. Each of the 100 people were given some things to bring to their new society along with their own belongings. People that owned a house would sell it to get money to buy supplies. Anybody that could not buy the supplies could not be part of the society that was being built. The group consisted of people with many different carriers. This was very good because there were people that could build, others that could cook, those that could plan, etc. This allowed the society to get started fairly fast with places where people could live and eat. From then on the society just had to create a government and get used to being a society of its own.

B. What is the time line for the creation and development of this Utopia?
If you began building tomorrow, where will your society be in 5 years?
In 50 years? In 500 years?

 

       In 1739 the idea was approved of and in a year’s period of time, people with the same thoughts and opinions about the United States were gathered and worked together to plan out the supplies needed to build a society apart from the United States. In the year 1741 on June 8, the group of 100 people set out for the island in the Atlantic Ocean on 10 boats of 10 people each. Once they got there, it took five years to get settled, 1746 being the official year when they started on their connection to the other countries and asked for cooperation with them. At this point their food supplies were starting to get low and they were starting to use the supplies on the island and planting vegetables for food. In the year 1756 they started to prosper. People started to move to their island that only had limited of space. Other than some problems with emigration, they were doing really well, starting to trade with other countries. In the 1800's fewer people were trying to move there and the emigration problems were solved. It is now a vacation hot spot.
