Looking at each others perspective is one of the worlds most difficult task, once accomplished its believed to create a complete utopian setup in any country.
The activity that was done in class was brilliant in so many ways. We were provided a detailed background of an imaginary country Latasica, where a hotel company names Airtravel wants to start a major business by building 3 hotels and an airport along with a wildlife sanctuary, the idea of this exercise discussing a serious economic problem with more than 40 classmates role playing as different people of the economic sector. Some were government officials, fisherman, businessmen, coffee producers, nomads, world environment activists and much more. The exercise was designed beautifully, with every group given a detail brief of what their situation in the country is and how the arrival of Airtravel could affect them in all aspects. Being in an atmosphere of art and design, it became easier for me as an individual to connect to my character and so was the case with the rest of the class.We would continuously put ourselves in our roles situation and keep on switching from 2 different thought processes, one being our own ration view and one of our character. Staying in character was one of the most difficult challenges of this activity, it happens at times that I was not able to pass on my ideas and views in the discussion due to a constant conflict of my thinking to that of my characters mindset. After and hour of separate group discussions, a trial at the court was held between the government and Airtravel, joined by the different people of the society, all of which were role played by us. The heat of the situation was felt immediately when airtravel was trying to convince that their arrival was beneficial to the government and the government would question this taking views from all members in court. It was a 2 hour long intense drama filled court session, one of a kind. I was amazed, because everyone including me payed complete justice to their role and situation. It was one of the most brilliant session in college experiences
The problems and issues were imaginary, and were limited to just 2-3 . To imagine how our country’s government has to tackle millions of issues daily in a limited amount of time is mind boggling . What we as the youth should try to understand is that a change is definitely required, but we have to step into the shoes of every person involved in the change and constantly question as to , is it really needed ?
