Imagine That Your Caribbean Island of 10,000 People Is a Colony

question 38

Essay

Imagine that your Caribbean island of 10,000 people is a colony of the United Kingdom. A volcano erupts, forcing 8,000 people to flee their homes and making three-fourths of the island uninhabitable. The remaining part of the island has few resources and can only support 2,000 people. What should be done about the other 8,000 people? Explain your "disaster response" plan in the short term (the first few weeks) and in the long term: where and how should they live afterward? How might U.K. attitudes toward immigrants affect your plan?
