Scenarios

Directions: For the following scenarios, you will write on your own paper whether the scenario describes a communist government,
a capitalist democracy, neither government, or both. Next, you will explain WHY you selected your answer. Please staple the paper
to this handout.

Scenario 1: Cashus Bakr began his life as a poor sewer cleaner. He could only afford enough food for one meal per day, and that was
when times were good. As poor as Cashus was, he was also quite bright and one day he designed an automatic sewer cleaner. While
this put him out of a job, it also made him a millionaire as he marketed his product to different cities and towns.

Scenario 2: Because of the decline in moral values within her country, Princess Ann Dreea Bells decides to actively promote religion
within her country. She believe that if her people are more religious, they will treat each other better and the moral state of her
nation will improve.

Scenario 3: Due to his insatiable desire for power Dictator Bendismelly decrees that all loyal countrymen must sear an oath of
allegiance to him and donate 10% of their earnings to him. Fortunately, the power-hungry Bendismelly is not allowed to make this
law because the parliament vetoes his executive order. Thank heavens!

Scenario 4: Daisymary Holson is a hardworking farm girl. As an astute farmer, she owns her own farmland and gauges how much
crop she should produce and adjust the type and amount depending on what people are demanding. Daisymary’s key is producing
enough product to satisfy peoples’ demands, without producing too much so that it costs her money.

Scenario 5: Because of increased government taxes, Holdermania (a fictitious country) is able to fund a literacy program whose goal
is to make every persona able to read and write by the age of 18. Teachers are sent into homes, orphanages, and even workplaces to
help people become literate.

Scenario 6: In order to provide cheap fuel to his people, the benevolent dictator Holderman nationalizes (takes over) all of the oil
companies in Holdermania. He permits the government to regulate how much fuel will be produced, and the price at which it will be
sold to the people.

Scenario 7: There is much poverty in Holdermania, and in all his goodness and benevolence, Holderman decides that something
must be done. In order to help the poor, he will tax the rich and use the tax money to provide welfare and financial assistance to the
poor so that they can afford food, clothing, and housing.

Scenario 8: In a stroke of pure genius, Queen Key Airabury decides to get rid of all forms of currency. Her reasoning is that, if there
is no money, than there will be no poverty. Is Queen Key going to be satisfied with her decision?
