What if?
Its a popular question in all regards - whether that be historic, fictional, fantastic, or any other category of life. The question of what if things were different, if this was true, if this wasn't true, are often discussed and debated among people.
What if the Purge was real?
First of all, let's just take the movie's logic, that some homicidal party took over the government and started the purge, the first one happening March 21st, 2021 at 7pm. What would you do? What do you think people would do in general? Do you think that the movie have an at all accurate interpretation of what would happen if people had no law to answer to? Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, I should explain what the purge is exactly, maybe someone hasn't heard of it?
The purge is one night where all crime is legal except for killing politicians. The focus of the purge is to let everyone rampage and have a feel of catharsis that way crime is lowered the rest of the year, or at least that's the justification the government tells the people in the movies. A hidden goal of the purge is to kill off poorer people to save the government money in caring for people. Now, I don't even think these would necessarily work, but its more about what if, then if it's true or not.
So the rules officially for this little scenario: Starting at March 21st, 2021 - 7 pm all crimes are legal, except for killing governmental politicians, the movie happens in America, but substitute that for whatever country you live in. The purge ends at 7 am on March 22nd 2021, so 12 hours. A secret rule is that their are roaming bands of the military barging into apartments and mowing people down, usually in the poorer parts of towns first.
A couple of basic questions:
What would you do if you were in this situation?
How do you thin People in general would act here?
How accurate or inaccurate do you think the movies were at judging people's behaviors during the purge?
How do you think this would affect America (substitute America with the country you live in) in general?
How do you think this would affect the world in general?
