Topic A – Creating a New Society

The manor farm is on the brink of revolution. Animals are growing tired of the resources they work tirelessly for being stolen by humans, as well as the hopeless certainty of being slaughtered.  However, after a speech that the wise pig, Old Major gives, dreams and hope for a new just society are ignited. At this point, it is up to the animals of this farm to decide the ideals, leaders and commandments that will dictate the order of their dreamed new society. This topic must cover the issue of how animals will sustain themselves in terms of food, labour, and leadership. Delegates must develop a realistic system that all animals can agree on to ensure the safety and sustainability of the farm without humans. This must be done while trying to avoid a system that perpetuates the greed and behaviours they experienced from humans.

Topic B – Regulating a Developing Society

Within a new society comes the challenge of distributing power and representing all parties efficiently and agreeably. One of the main issues with Animal Farm is its principles and innate caution around humans, this includes animals that behave like humans. This causes the need to identify the boundary between what technology and regulations can be developed to serve their society, while also remaining just and fair amongst each other. Whilst ensuring they meet their society’s moral standards, animals must decide how they will ensure that their society is ethical and advocates for all animals to avoid the path towards chaos.
