Fictional Island - Part I

Fictional Island
Being given a group assignment to create our own Fictional Island where we decide to have our own draft of "fictional island" then we combine with others, so I decided to create base on current global situation with history and current political issue, economy and social behavior.

Manifesto
Be self content, conscious, wise and appreciate life!

Issue 1# Human Race

Human race has failed by itself and success by itself by wanting more. Economy fails by wanting more, science success by wanting more.
Root of problem, human greed, abusive of facility, vanity

Soloution# 

Therefore, I would like my island has all the goodness of socialism, communism and capitalism mixture. A third form of government where people who like the island culture and system will be invited to live here and free from any religion.

Issue 2# - Waste & Pollution
Oil has been cause pollution, war and its unsustainable energy. 

Iraq war has been a good example http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/4354269.stm
Our human race has produce so much waste and is a globally facing the same problem.

Soloution 2#

Ideally geographical there will have high mountains and built a dam to generate hydroelectric.People in the island would spend more research on natural waste to product daily product as their aim for modern lifestyle.

Issue 3# Human Nature

Now a day’s people have so much things they want but actually don’t really need, competing each other in material, and especially they become slave for money and end up working longer hours for it and missed a lot of important things in life which happen a glimpse of time. And most of all these monopolize company share holders who enjoy the fruits of our hard work.

People forget how to share; the real basic reason to be human is learn to be human.

Solution 3#

People who has depth of wisdom, to have people aware of their jealousy, greed and all sort of negative and how to minimize and turn it to positive.
Only have what they need or require – on food, clothing, and material obsession.


Issue 4# Marriage

Research showed that divorce is alarming and data shown as below:

http://www.divorce.com/article/divorce-rate

Since 1970 marriages have declined 30%.

Since 1970 divorces have increased 40%.
Women are the first to file for divorce 65% of the time.
Over 40% of first marriages end within 13 years.
Over 20% of first marriages end within 5 years.
Over 75% of divorced people get remarried.
Second marriages fail 65% of the time.
Premarital cohabitation increased 70% in the 1990’s.
Over 50% of premarital cohabitating couples split up within 5 years.
Over 50% of marriages are preceded by premarital cohabitation

Souloution 4#

Couple can be married if they sure they have main four components which is loyalty + honored + respect + love, maybe lie detector/ brain scan.
 


How this islands works?


Socially

People will given for 10 acres of land and produce what they like to be – farm, factory, restaurant, salon, retail etc.

For the children when they are reach age 21, 5 acres will be given, due to possible of increase population by then and inheritance from generation.

Why?
To encourage do what they really enjoy and self run entrepreneur.

Currency
There won’t be currency as but they will have token given with what they harvest / produce / service from the land, with exchange for others goods or service token will be give.
Eg. 1 hours of your service = 1 token, 1kg of meat = 1 token.
There won’t be any bank, as there won’t be lending any money to anyone.

Why?
With abundance of history we could trace from WW1, WW2, the great depression and current economy such as "open market" has cause a lot of financial bubbles, inflation, the gap of rich and poor and abuse of financial system.

Individual
No fat people allowed, at least within standard BMI
Education system is free till age 21, further study will need to contribute service to the institution.

Why?
It's a tax free island so we are encourage healthy citizen and fewer burdens for government.

Also apply to the island manifesto – eat what you need and not greedy!
There won’t be health care system. As it’s a tax free island
As for education, it's important people in the island have knowledge they need to excel in life and contribute to society, but to avoid abuse of the system they have to contribute toward to the society by earning token.

Law
People caught of vain will be punished and ultimately be sent away from the island if they repeat their mistake.

Why?
Vanity is not encourage in this island.
