Today in class we discovered how different people react in different situations. We created little societies from scratch, realizing that some people stress out a lot more than others do causing tension between different groups. We had to each build 4 thinks to represent our individual societies. However none of the groups had everything they needed to build everything. Each group needed a hamburger to represent food, a house to represent shelter, a book to represent education and lastly a polka dot ring to represent minerals. Some groups had more supplies than others to start off with, and this basically represented the abundance of natural resources in certain communities. Our group had a lot of the supplies however we did not have enough in time to complete the task. We completed our burger, our house, and our ring in time, however we did not have a pen to write a story inside the book before the other group had finished causing our resources and trading suppliers to be insufficient to be top of the food chain and complete the task assigned. Some of the decisions my group made were silly mistakes that caused a longer time to complete everything and their qualifications to run the society. Our burger had all 3 different pages paper clipped together, our house had a triangular roof paper clipped onto a square to form a house shape, we had a ring of polka dot paper for our minerals, and we had a book consisting of 3 pages put together. However our book did not have pictures or word causing us not to be able to complete our tasks. Overall our group was pretty successful with the task at hand, but the people of our society would not have been educated to be able to continue to be successful. I liked the overall aspect of this project because it taught us the different ways you need to be able to handle yourself in different situations, like being able to stay calm when in need, or to know exactly what to do when you need something desperately. Our group and class did really well overall with only 3 arrests during the whole 42 minutes.
