2. As the smoke clears, you take stock of the situation… Your plane has just crash-landed. Just a few minutes before the crash, you and your fellow students had been flying high over the Pacific on your way to Japan to participate in an exchange program. Then something went terribly wrong. The pilot was forced to land on a small and remote island. Some students are injured and require care. As they are attended to, others set out to explore the island. A few hours are enough to see all the island has to offer. There is a clear spring for water, and plenty of wild fruits, vegetables, and game (animals). There are trees for firewood and building shelter. The plane is in pretty good shape and your group is able to salvage first aid kits and clothing from the wreckage. So far, so good. “We can survive here,” you think to yourselves. There is bad news too. The pilot informs you that he was off course; he is unsure of your location. Worse, because the crash happened so quickly, he did not have time to issue a distress signal. The radio was destroyed in the crash. The news sinks in; you may all be here for a very long time.

Since people know what to do, they don’t need direction from a leader. Another person suggests choosing a leader each day to be fair to everyone. They worry about having one powerful leader, but think that most people will need some guidance in the weeks and months to come.
