Survivor – FYS 100

We were asked to pick four people to live out of a group of thirteen people.

They would be sent to live in a bunker to survive The Avian Flu. They would need to

survive for two years and be able to repopulate and reestablish society once the flu

has died out.

We picked the female scientist, the male doctor, the male lawyer, and the

female university professor to live. We figured the scientist would be able to grow

the food and figure out many of the methods to help them survive. The doctor would

be able to monitor the health of the group and keep everyone alive. The lawyer

would be able to help maintain the society once the flu is over and establish laws.

The professor could help the scientist and keep the bunker maintained. We made

them two males and two females so they could repopulate the world once the

bunker opened.

We felt like these were the best possible professions for the bunker. We felt

like these professions brought the best possible skills to the table. The others have

some kind of flaw that would be detrimental to the bunker or society as a whole

afterward. I feel like there could have been other choices made, but in the end this

was the best possible scenario. It was a little heartless to basically sentence nine

other to death. I feel like with proper rationing and growing we could have extended

how many could stay in the bunker.
