World Regions and Cultures 11- “Your Ideal Nation” 

Directions for “Your Ideal Nation”: Write at least one page typed about what your ideal nation would be like.  Double spacing is good either way.  You must use several examples from material learned in class, not just your own ideas.  Elaborate about what political and economic system your nation would have and why.  Address the problems of poverty, crime, national defense, social equality, etc.  Include essenmtial questions!  Your writing should flow and not seem thin of content, but do not feel like you have to say everything someone else is saying.  Pick what is important to you and your ideal nation!

Student Learning objective- Students will explain what they think a country should be like and how should it be run.

Sample questions to be answered include: What are the most important aspects of a country and what things are not important?  How can your nation assure people an adequate food supply?  How can your nation become a prosperous one?  How can your society prevent conflicts and quarrels among individuals from interfering with the general welfare and order of the group?  How can your society protect itself from attacks from neighboring nations?  What climate is preferable?  What topographical features would you want in your country?  What technology would you want?  Rights?  Etc.
