Learning from Geese

Flock Together

Our society isn't as perfect as it seems. We still have a lot to learn. We can do this by observing other animals. The geese are a sophisticated group of birds. The way they work resembles how we run our society. They work together, making their group stronger as a whole. Our society, though very complex and advanced is still far from ideal. If our society followed the customs of the geese we would benefit greatly. By working together as a whole, our society would grow and have the ability to move faster. To the same degree as the geese, they fly in a "V" shape creating uplift for the following geese. This allows them to travel faster, earn a greater fly range, and make it easier for the following geese to fly by using less energy. Moreover, the geese help one another when injured/wounded. If our society followed this then more would follow the "Good Samaritan" rule that has been diminished in our society. Subsequently, we would be able to accomplish our goal of helping the weak. Furthermore, the geese encourage those in front of them which help them to maintain their speed. I believe that our society would profit from encouragement rather than the common discouragement you hear on a daily basis. In addition, the geese rotate the lead position and fly together in a formation making them work as one. In our society we elect leaders every several years and have a set form of government which includes every state. In the end, we are working to be come "one". Ultimately, our society and the geese are a lot alike but ours is more complex and has plenty of room to grow.
