Cast away Imagine you are vacationing on a luxury cruise liner touring the South Pacific. Suddenly, you hear a voice from the ship’s captain stating that all passengers must prepare for an emergency situation. People everywhere are panicking; several begin inflating the ship’s life rafts. Out of nowhere a large ocean tsunami capsizes the ship leaving only a few hundred survivors out to sea.

The survivors of the ship lay desperately in their life rafts for two days before floating up to a deserted island. Food is scarce, and fresh water is nowhere to be found.

Questions:
1. How are you going to survive until help arrives?
2. How will you make decisions affecting the survival of the group?
3. Who will lead and how will they be chosen?
4. How will the daily needs (food, water, shelter) of your fellow castaways be met until help arrives?
5. Will there be any rules on the island? If so, what are the penalties for violating those rules?

1 A shelter will be built. Rules will be I placed. Rations will be made. Statistical thinking will also be in play.
2 decisions will be made as needed. However important decisions will be made ASAP. And every persons ideas will be heard. There will be a slight form of democracy where everybody can share their opinions about the ideas about what to do.
3 the person who leads will most likely be the person who presents themselves and comes forth to make their ideas known, instill order, and creates a game plan.
4 in rations. The fresh food that will go bad quickly will be eaten first. Then rations that last longer will be given out every two days. A human can survive a long time on just body fat, plus once in the starving state any food you eat is immediately stored as body fat. And the life rafts will be emptied and set out for rainwater to catch in them. In desperate measures where rain doesn’t come, clothes can be used as a filter for ocean water to be more tolerable. And the shelter will mostly be made of debris, local materials and possibly spare life rafts. The debris can also be sharpened to make weapons to hunt animals and fish
5 the rules on the island is that anything you find must be shared with the island. No hoarding food or supplies. No stealing. No murder. And anyone caught doing so will either have rations withheld or forced to go out and hunt and can’t come back until they’ve brought food. Worse penalties will be imprisonments or banishments.

Ithink the answer is b. shakeri hope im not wrong : )
