If you and your classmates were stranded on an island and had to set up rules for survival, how would you decide who makes the decisions—and why? Should the group prioritize individual rights or collective survival when making rules? by Ryan Vaughn

We should prioritize group survival because individual rights can't exist with no individuals. The person who is the most capable and unbiased should make decisions.

I think group survival is more important because it gives us a better chance of survival since we're all working together, i think whoever is the best at critical thinking should be the leader

We would need to make it group decisions and benefit the good of the group. Individually we would all fail and grow against each other. I think voting and having debates it the most efficient kind of decision making. If Mr. Vaughn was there too, I would make him the judge because we need an ultimate decision maker!

Indiviudal rights are not as important when resources are as scarce as they would be on an island

The group should focus on more on individual rights so we can all focus as being a community and trying to help and assists each other on colonizing the island and surviving until any sort of help arrives.

I think we should all vote on who makes the decisions, based on who has good ideas or useful skills that way it’s fair. I think we should focus on surviving as a group first, like making sure we have food, water, and shelter but we should still respect people’s opinions and give everyone a voice so it doesn’t feel like one person is in charge of everything

I would not want to be In charge just in case we dont make it. I think not one single person should be in charge if were going to survive we should proably figure out a way of living together and we all follow the same rules.

I think we should prioritize group survival because the more there are of us, the stronger I think our chances of survival will be.
