The Kula Ring Sample Clauses

The Kula Ring. A complex system of visits and exchanges among the Trobriand Islanders of the western Pacific first described by Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx in 1922. Necklaces were exchanged in one direction among the residents of a chain of islands and armbands exchanged in the opposite direction (hence the notion of a ring). These exchanges did not primarily serve an economic function but created social obligations among peoples which could be depended upon at various times in an individual’s life. The person who gave the most gifts would create the most obligations and in this sense create the most wealth by forming a relational net which could be depended upon. The challenge parameters: Food is distributed in spatial patches and the amount of food in a patch varies over time. The overall quantity is more than enough to feed the population, but there may be short-term local shortages. Food is perishable and so agents need to find and consume a constant supply of food in order to survive. Food needs long term cultivation for it to grow. Expected outcome: The establishment of a ‘gift-exchange’ system in which not only food but also tokens are exchanged.
