Minutes of the meeting on August 17

We at book club have decided to do a small project. Taking the learning to the next level. As we all understand, we all, in one way or the other perceive the current overall global atmosphere as disappointing.

it was realised that we all are dissatisfied, and want to express it. Then why not convert the disappointment into learning!

Here's the proposal.
We'll try writing a collaborative essay "This Dystopia".

The essay is about elaborating the current Social, Political, Moral and Economic conditions and explai as to why its a dystopia.

I understang that its a difficult task, but it is worth the learning that we will have.

So, the essay has been divided in 3 parts:
1. Moral and Social
2. Economic
3. Political.

The topic will be elaborated in global situation and with the historical context.

Here's the breakup of who will be working on what.
1. Political - ASimpleLife
2. Moral and Social - Jarvellis, Dimond will be exploring the effect of Buddhism as a tool and its influence on the morals. (syncing religion and morality)
3. Economic - 

We definitely need more volunteers for this effort. if anyone wishes to work on a topic or a sub-topic, please let me know.
