Future Scenario (Group Brainstorming)

On our first meeting, we try to discuss the possible future scenario. In order to create this scenario, we try to understand the meaning of the self sufficient community. We try to ask ourselves what, why, when, and how this community formed.

What does self sufficient community means? 

To be a self sufficient means the community needs no help from other community in order to survive. The community can fulfill they own needs and manage the civilian inside that community. This self sufficient becomes important to other communities too, since if the community already self sufficient, they can help other community to achieve their self sufficient community.

Why do people need self sufficient community?

Self sufficient community becomes important in order to make a community independent. Therefore in time of danger, this community can survive by themselves and help other community who needed help. Furthermore, by creating a self sufficient community will also teach people the true meaning of sharing.

When does self sufficient community needed?

Our group start to think about several events that can force a group of people secluded themselves and working together in order to survive. These events can be a natural disaster, an outbreak or even a war. Therefore, we decide to do more research in this part. However, we will keep in mind the event must be forcing people to have self sufficient community.(picture taken from: http://do-while.com/img/life/scariest-and-most-secluded-houses/scariest-and-most-secluded-houses01.jpg)

How the self sufficient community formed?

To begin with, after the occurrence of the event, several people will group and try to survive together and create a community. They will limit themselves and each group will specialized in several jobs in order to fulfil all of the community`s need. Since, there will be no exchange currency in this time of crisis, people will learn sharing by exchanging their goods with other goods that they need or even service.
