Question

Imagine that you could help the people of Easter Island prevent the destruction of their civilization before it happened. What three pieces of advice would you give them to help them avoid the collapse of their society and make them live more sustainably

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Suppress internal power disputes and establish a specific type of government to which everyone must be subjected.
2. Allow citizens to choose their representatives.
3. Create a policy to control the exploitation of the region's natural resources.

Explanation:

The Easter Island civilization collapsed due to exhaustive internal disputes and conflicts over power and control, in addition to an environmental exploration that was not self-sustaining and that overburdened the local resources.

For this reason, in order to avoid this collapse, it would be necessary to first establish a fixed government that could control internal struggles, but this government should be voted by the population that would choose leaders in a democratic way, without disputes and totally based on the will of the majority of the population.

Finally, this established government should promote policies that organize environmental exploitation and promote it in a sustainable way, allowing its conservation, since it provides essential resources for the existence of this society.
