Societies By Austin Alford And Kylee Helderbrand
Society 1
Pros
Political- Everbody had a job and a wage and there was a set up called strength through joy that gave worker rewards for hard work . "the leaders of this society set up the Beauty of Work to help citizens see that work was good, and that everyone who could work should."
Social-There was a lot of happiness and time for work and fun for holidays, picnics and more. “The leaders of this society set up Strength through Joy, which gave workers rewards for their work - evening classes to improve education, theatre trips, picnics, and even free holidays to encourage breaks from work for fun.” The society’s beliefs gave them enough hope and confidence to do really anything. “This society’s beliefs gave people hope and confidence for a better future.”
Goegraphic-He began a huge program of public works including planting forests, and building hospitals and schools. He also built public buildings such as an Olympic Stadium. The construction of new highways created work for 80,000 men.
Economical- "After several years of economic stress and despair, this society welcomed a new leader and his economic policies with open arms. Under this leader’s rule, there was full employment, new public works and ordinary workers even had the opportunity to purchase a new car, which at the time was reserved for only the wealthy." This is good because the new leader turned around the society economically by creating more jobs and let workers have more privledges.
Cons
Political- The leader of society wanted to stop one of the minorities in the society. "Laws were instituted against them forcing them out of public life (examples:civil service jobs, law court and university positions, etc.)Business owned by these minorities were boycotted. As time progressed more laws were passed, and caused further problems." The ruler would force this race out of public life. This is bad because the leader isn't giving the race an equal chance to live. It got so bad that the"Final Solution" was used to kill the "race."
Social-“Business owned by these minorities were boycotted.” This is really bad because this means that people would start fighting and arguing. “As time progressed more laws were passed, and caused further problems.” This means that people would argue over what the law should be and how they should be written.
Goegraphic-Minority members of society could not go to public schools, theaters, cinemas, or resorts, and furthermore, they were banned from living, or sometimes even walking, in certain parts of the society.
Economical-They were in debt losing the war. “He stopped paying money owed to losing a great war and instead invested the money in his country’s companies.” The leader stopped paying the money he owed putting the society more in debt.
Society 4
Pros
Political- The society was making a lot of money by mining one million carrots. "By 1937 this society was mining one million carats annually and by 1970 production had reached a peak of 2 million carats. "
Economical-“It is among the top 10 diamond producing nations in the world.” This good because diamonds are a valuable mineral that they could trade in for a lot of money for their society. “This society is also among the largest producers of titanium and bauxite, and a major producer of gold.” This is good because they can also sell other minerals to make even more money for their society.
Social- "This society is also home to the third largest natural harbor in the world; where shipping from all over the globe occurs." This society must have a good relationship with other countries.
Geographical- "The country has relied on mining, especially diamonds, for its economic base; it is among the top 10 diamond producing nations in the world, and mineral exports remain the main foreign currency earner." This is good because the country is already naturally rich.
Cons
Political-They made a lot of money but it wasn't important to them. Instead of money they should have got something else to replace that. "At an average price of $270 US dollars per carat , the total value is close to $15 billion US dollars, money which has never benefited the majority of the citizens who live in this society. "
Economical-“Despite this natural wealth, over 70% of its people live in poverty. Before their discovery in 1930, the former British Colony was just a dumping-ground for freed slaves.” This is bad because even though they have natural health, the majority of the people have poor and living in poverty.
Social- "Before their discovery in 1930, the former British Colony was just a dumping-ground for freed slaves." This is bad because the slaves that were left there had nothing.
Geographical-"Despite this natural wealth, over 70% of its people live in poverty." This means this is one of the poorist society's in the world today.
Society #2
Pros
Political-The job market was a big success. Everything went according to plan. “Television shows about the decade, further drive home the point that this time was an almost magical era, where everything worked out according to plan.” “The economy was on an upswing and the job market was booming.” The reason that everybody should have a job is because they would be able to pay for their food, taxes, and other things that are needs for humans. Everything should work out as planned because if it didn’t work out there could be consequences that could make them lose a lot of money and other things.
Social- Families were closer in this society. "watched family centered television shows." "The suburbs created a social dynamic unto itself."
Economical-The production of carrots was hit for the society."At an average price of $270 US dollars per carat , the total value is close to $15 billion US dollars, money which has never benefited the majority of the citizens who live in this society." There was no violence in the society. "
Geographical-"There were over 10 million new homeowners. Living in the suburbs was attractive to many people for many reasons. You got out of the city, but you were still in close range of the job opportunities, while escaping the crowds. You got an actual house, a yard, and real community sense. The suburbs created a social dynamic unto itself." This is good because the suburbs made the homeowner feel they were in a community.
Cons
Political-In the government they were splitting up the races. “The dream in this society was pretty much for certain people only.” This quote meant if you weren't one specific race you were split up and treated differently from other people. “Political leaders soon became involved in a group which worked to beat, whip, and murder thousands, and intimidated tens of thousands of others from voting. People often tried to fight back, but they were outnumbered and .”
Geographical-"Unfortunately, though nobody came out and said it, the "Dream" in this society was pretty much for certain people only. Other races, had a difficult, if not impossible, time finding success in life." This is bad because not all of the races got to have a fair chance when living in suburbs. The other race was split up from the other citizens.
Economical- Society 2 spent money on splitting up the different races. Also the society spent money on bomb shelters. “As the threat of war became more intense, people constructed bomb shelters to shield themselves from a possible attack.”
Social-"Unfortunately, though nobody came out and said it, the "Dream" in this society was pretty much for certain people only. Other races, had a difficult, if not impossible, time finding success in life." This society was splitting up the races so they couldn't interact socialy. This was very bad for the other races.
Society #3
Pros
Political-"The Olympics hosted in this country was said to be the most expensive Olympic Games in history. The previous Olympics, were estimated to have cost about $15 billion, whereas this society's Olympics cost a huge $40 billion, indicating just how important this event was to the members of the society." This isgood because they care about the citizens in there society and will spend money on the society's members.
Economical-“In annual sessions of the People's Congress in 1992 and 1993, the government called for accelerating the drive for economic reform, but the sessions were widely seen as an effort to maintain moves toward a market economy while retaining political authoritarianism.” Since 1993, the economy of this society has continued to grow rapidly.” This is good for the society because the wealth of the society is growing.
Social-“This society is well known for its vast population” This is good because they can have more people for a bigger military and jobs.
Geographical-“During this time, a writing system developed, allowing the emerging feudal states of the era to achieve an advanced stage of civilization, rivaling in sophistication any society found at the time in Europe, the Middle East, or the Americas.” This is good becausethey were so advanced.
Cons
Political-"The death of a powerful leader in 1908 was followed by a nationwide rebellion. This rebellion was followed by years of civil war." This is bad because the rebellion got so bad that in society 3 a cival war was start. "leaders in this society proposed new limits on Internet use and media in October 2011. The proposal included some of the strictest measures in years. For example, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television limited 34 major television stations to two 90-minute entertainment shows per week. The same TV stations were also limited to two hours of news every evening. The two hours of news must be approved by the state. Audience ratings were ordered to be ignored." This is bad because they are censering t.v. and internet to pervent rebellion. That could be because of a curupt leader.
Economical-“Whereas this society's Olympics cost a huge $40 billion, indicating just how important this event was to the members of the society.”This is bad because they were using money for the Olympics instead of paying off debt they owned or paying to advance their society.
Social-The society was largely isolated. This was bad because the other societies could have benefited them. “This society remained largely isolated from the rest of the world's civilizations, closely restricting foreign activities.” “Perhaps in reaction to popular uprisings going on around the world, leaders in this society proposed new limits on Internet use and media in October 2011. The proposal included some of the strictest measures in years. For example, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television limited 34 major television stations to two 90-minute entertainment shows per week.” They were censoring television and internet so that the society wouldn’t get any ideas to rebel.
Geographical-"This society is well known for its vast population, which, despite strict population control policies, is still extremely high." Thia means that there population was so big but they didn't have enough room geographicaly to fit all of the people."Carrying out more than three-quarters of the world's executions."
