Week 9: Crime and Punishment
Based off my writings last week the world my society would probably fall under would be dystopian. I imagine this tribe as merchants who bring create a connection between cultures. In this world there would be a certain level of segregation between species. There are major stereotypes that keep people/creatures from mingling with each other. My tribe however bridges the gap since they are a major, almost sole, provider of transported goods.
I described last week that power in the tribe belongs to 3 chiefs which are in a closed poly relationship. They serve as an example to the people in their tribe since most are encouraged to pursue open relationships.
Crime in the tribes rarely occur but are not unheard of. Because each traveling pack has it's own 3 chiefs to lead them, it can be difficult to maintain a constant level of quality in leadership. The tribes have several meeting points where they often consult in order to avoid any major conflicts in the teachings of the tribes.
The tribe can be defined as being a Switzerland in this world. They take no sides and remain neutral between conflicts that don't directly involve them. Because of this need to avoid conflict when punishing tribe members who have done wrong they tend to rely on banishment rather than violence.
When a crime is committed all pack chiefs gather in order to come to a consensus for the tribe. From this point its discussed as to whether they should hold a trial. Something like betrayal would be immediate banishment since the tribe holds loyalty as a major moral. Murder on the other hand could be discussed on whether its justified in action.
