Ideal Society 2

No changes have been made to my society due to the fact that I found nobody in another's society who I felt was worth trading for. That is not to say that everyone else's choices were poor. Rather, it means that my society was perfect for me and their societies were perfect for them. Quite honestly, if there was someone I felt was more deserving of a spot in my society than someone who was already in there, they would have been a part of my society in the first place. My society works out because each member has their own set of beliefs and dreams, which all seem to revolve around the possibility of objective happiness. Each member is also powerful in some way, whether it be from their influential words or their ability to warp reality. This allows the members to eliminate all threats to their happiness. One possible flaw in my society is that there could be a power struggle should a member be denied the happiness that they are owed, or if one member's happiness conflicts with the happiness of another. This is only a possible flaw because each member of the society has their own idea of how their happiness can be achieved, but do not see fit to use others in their plans of achieving such happiness. Rather, they all know and rely on their own strengths to chase after their dreams. Each member can work with others, but it content being by his/herself. This means that no member of the society will seek to influence others, and will only share their opinions on a subject when asked to do so. Jareth, being a master of dreams, can easily make the dreams of each member of the society come true without conflicting with the dreams of other members. There is peace in such a society, making it stable.

Ideal Society

The members of my ideal society are Jareth, George Carlin, Sekhmet, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, and Ramona Flowers. Jareth, from the movie Labyrinth , was chosen to be the leader because he is the Goblin King of the Labyrinth, and has a great deal of experience in ruling having done it for thousands of years. He has the power to make dreams a reality and warp dimensions, and is thus able to create the perfect society for the five members to live in. He is a dreamer who deals in the dreams of others, making him able to constantly improve the society. George Carlin was chosen because he is a phenomenal comedian and social critic. He inspired many people to become comedians, including Chris Rock, Lewis Black, and Sam Kinison, which shows his ability to spread and appreciation of comedy to others. He never takes anything at face value, which ensures that he will be quick to point out any flaws in the society so that they may be fixed. Sekhmet was chosen because she is the Egyptian Goddess of warfare, the hunt, the wilds, protection, sexuality, the desert sun, magicians, physicians, etc. She is known as the Protector of Pharaohs and can both cause and relieve the greatest of agonies, making her the perfect warrior and healer. She is also motherly towards those she protects and strives to ensure their happiness. Frank-N-Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show was chosen because of his extensive knowledge in the field of science. He is able to create human life within just seven days, and has a great deal of knowledge of multiple galaxies. He also has access to the technology of multiple planets, which will aid the advancement of the society. Ramona Flowers the Scott Pilgrim book series was chosen because of her ability to travel through subspace, making her able to move from one place to another quickly and even enter the dreams of others. She is also able to store items and subspace, and thus protect items from theft. This makes her the ideal banker and laborer for the society. My society values dreams, advancement, and good times. Each member of my society contributes to making the society a paradise, whether it be by protecting the society from outside harm or improving it from within.
