Utopian Society
If I were forced to form a society of peers on a deserted island, I would create my ideal society by trying to establish peace and equality. My utopian society would have a lot of farmland, so that the citizens could harvest the crops and use them to help stock our grocery store. The shops and supplies would be located in the middle of the society, and the houses would be along the outside with the farms. My society would have a government, but the citizens would be able to have a big say in the decisions that would be made. All citizens would have the responsibility to have to learn how to grow and harvest their own crops. Some of the jobs would be hunters, farmers, police officers, medics, and people to help clean our water. All children ages 5-15 would be required to go to school, and can go to school up to the age of 18 if they want to. Once the citizens turn 15 they are required to learn whatever trade that are interested in. By the age of 18 all capable people must have some sort of job that requires responsibility. The laws and punishments would be very inforced, in order to keep our citizens safe. If a person murdered another, then they would be either executed or prisoned for life, depending on the circumstances. My utopian society's currency would be very similar to our currency in the US. Minimum wage however would be $5 per hour, because there are less luxeries to spend money on. People would spend their money on things they need to survive, not necessarily things they want.
