Living on Mars would mean adapting to a completely different environment, and I can’t help but wonder how that would affect the way we interact with each other. With limited space and resources, would communities become more tight-knit, or would isolation create new tensions?
On Earth, urban life is shaped by convenience and abundance something Mars won’t have for a long time. How do you think scarcity would influence social hierarchies or collaboration? And with such a small population at first, would personal conflicts carry more weight?
I’m also curious about culture. Would Martian settlers develop their own traditions, or would they cling to Earth’s norms? As someone who documents human stories, I’d love to hear your thoughts especially from those who’ve studied sociology or futurism. What’s the most unexpected social shift you could see happening?
