Essential Question #5

My five member society consists of Jackie Chan, Sheldon (Big Bang Theory), Taylor Swift, Jessica Alba, and Elliot (Scrubs). These five people would create a functional society because of they all have qualities, abilities, and talents that will benefit the society through their collaborative work. Each person is charged with duties that pertain to their abilities and talents.

Jackie Chan is wise, strong, fast, agile, dedicated, and trained in the martial arts. His agility, speed, and martial arts knowledge has made him globally renowned fighter hence he would serve as an enforcer in the society instilling peace and order. His dedication and strength also qualify him to be a worker in the society. Jackie Chan would also serve the society as a mentor and guardian due to his wisdom and dedication which is exemplified through his social work and charitable actions. Hence Mr. Chan would be the enforcer, worker, mentor and guardian for my society.

Sheldon is comical, inventive, creative, intelligent, and brilliant. Sheldon’s comical and social inept behavior makes him the best villain and comedian due to his ignorance of feelings and emotions of hence him being the highlight of the show Big Bang Theory. His brilliance, intelligence, and creativity make him a great educator because he has the knowledge to teach and the ability to do so. His role as a villain and teacher would complement his role as a leader for the society as well. As a brilliant villain he has the knowledge of how to make a great society and has the ability to trick people into doing so. Thus Sheldon would serve as a villain, mentor, and leader in my society.

Taylor Swift is funny, entertaining, captivating, good natured, relatable, and philanthropic. She is so funny, captivating, and entertaining makes her the entertainer of the society. Her roles on shows like SNL and CMT Crossroads, as well as her singing career are more than exemplary in showing that she is well qualified entertainer. Her reliability, good nature, and philanthropy also solidify her role as a role model for the rest of the society. Her optimism and sincerity also add to her ability as great role model for society. Taylor Swift therefore serves as the entertainer and role model for my society.

Jessica Alba is loving, caring, protective, beautiful, and a mother. Jessica Alba’s beauty is unmatched as proven by her winning the number one spot in two polls, her role of lover in the society. Being the lover she would also serve as the procreator because of her beauty. Being a mother that is loving, caring, and protective she is well suited for being a procreator because she would be a good mother not only for her children but to everyone due to her motherly qualities. Hence Jessica Alba is the lover, procreator, and motherly figure in my society.

Elliot is unconfident, talkative, understanding, skilled, and a good physician. Her skills and actual profession as a doctor make Elliot the medical expert in the society. Her skills as a doctor is unquestionable as is the reason she is an attending at both a public facility and private practice in the television show Scrubs. Her unconfidence, loquaciousness, and understanding make her the caretaker of the society due to her ability to relate and get personal with every person there. Her unconfidence and loquaciousness also make her a great scapegoat as she does not have the confidence to defend herself. For that reason Elliot is my societies medical expert, caretaker, and scapegoat.

My society will strive because each person plays a crucial role that benefits the greater good. With Sheldon as their leader of this totalitarian society, they will be able to collaborate and work as cohesive machine. This society does have some problems though. Sheldon being villainous and sometimes unsympathetic of others may guide the society to a way of life that he thinks maybe more suitable. Also the people of this society often have recurring traits which makes them as equally qualified for some positions as the person who actually holds the position hence there may be conflict over who does what. Finally my society has no diversity due to it consisting of mainly Caucasians and one Asian.
