I like working on the projet although we ran into some errors. While working on the utopian society many problems accumulated. It was a problem trying to decide what kind of land the society was, what the population would be, and what everybody's building was going to look like.

At the first meeting everybody decided that our utopian society would be on an unclaimed piece of land. Now everybody claiming it's a island. Then we was all suppose to decide what the population would be but everybody wanted a different amount of people. So now they left it up to architecture.

The last problem i had was the the model of each groups building. When we first began to make the models some groups told us that's not how they wanted there building to look. We change some of the groups buildings but we dont have enough material to keep changing everybody's building. Then they recently told us we had to start pricing the materials that are going to be used to build the building such as wood, brick, glass, etc.

When comparing our society to the united states a lot of the things we want are realistic and some are not. For example the school is going to be bullet proof glass and you can only get there by a school bus. There are schools in the united states that you can only take a school bus to get there. The transportation system could work but i dont know how the powering would work. Unlike the united states i think our society would be very peaceful and almost perfect.
