Cast away Imagine you are vacationing on a luxury cruise liner touring the South Pacific. Suddenly, you hear a voice from the ship’s captain stating that all passengers must prepare for an emergency situation. People everywhere are panicking; several begin inflating the ship’s life rafts. Out of nowhere a large ocean tsunami capsizes the ship leaving only a few hundred survivors out to sea.

The survivors of the ship lay desperately in their life rafts for two days before floating up to a deserted island. Food is scarce, and fresh water is nowhere to be found.

Questions:
1. How are you going to survive until help arrives?
2. How will you make decisions affecting the survival of the group?
3. Who will lead and how will they be chosen?

1. For starters a shelter needs to be made to protect people from the outside elements. Most likely built from debris off of the ship. Not to mention spare debris can be sharpened to make spears to kill local animals or fish. And fresh food that will go bad quickly will be in the ration servings first. The rations will be served every few days since a human can live off their body fat. And once in a starving state any food they eat will immediately be stored as fat. The life rafts will be emptied out and set out for rain water to fill them up. If rain water does not come then clothing can be used as a filter to make ocean water more tolerable in desperate measures.
2 Decisions regarding shelter, water, food, and medical attention will be decided as needed. With the format that everyone gets rations and all ideas will be heard out.
3 The person who leads most likely will be the person who presents themselves to make order, explain their ideas, and creates an agreed upon “game plan.”

3. i would say one, but one is not prime nor composite.
