Today the whole school traveled to Cheaha State Park in Alabama. Our bus ride was fun and we got to the park around one'o'clock. We have been learning about different governments this week and we decided that we would write all the different types of governments on paper, put them into a hat, and whichever type of government was chosen, that would decide how we would choose our activities for the rest of the day. The government types chosen at different times were Dudeocracy(A.K.A. a patriarchy. The government of OH ruled by the "Dudes"), we had a dictatorship (ruled by Joanna), and we also had a Democracy.
The Dudeocracy was unorganized, and the guys did not get their thoughts together very well. Granted, the Dudeocracy only lasted a few minuets and then a new form of government was chosen. While the Dudeocracy was in session, we were trying to decide what to do with our time. The guys wanted to go on a hike, and the girls didn't have any objections. We didn't really have any problems. I don't know if I would like to have a Dudeocracy at OH all of the time. We would have a lot of future disagreements and there are better forms of "governments" out there for us to use.
The Dictatorship was pretty fun while it lasted. I think that Joanna had a fun time deciding where we would go on our hike. I didn't really like the fact that we had to do EXACTLY what Joanna said. We couldn't go anywhere other than where she said. I would not like having to do exactly what Joanna said at OH for a year. There would be a lot of conflicting opinions.
I think that the Democracy worked the best for us. Everbody had a say and even though some people did not what to do what the majority wanted to do, they we eventually happy. I think that having a Democracy all the time at OH would work out very well.
