We heard the last presentation today. Then we swiftly moved into deciding whose cause was best. No, that's pretty much accurate. We're not allowed the just split the money evenly among the various groups. Some group is or groups are going to get more money than others. We're rating the importance of several huge, important topics that are all problems facing a significant chunk of humanity. So...leadership as in dictators? The money split is also based on how much help the money would be and where it's going and such. Those factors make this a little less horrible. Still. Choose which is more important between...hunger and poverty. Maybe you'd rather choose between education and infrastructure, you know, providing clean drinking water, houses and electricity and such. It just seems a little terrible to me to rank which of these are more important than others. But, hey, we're all going to end up being leaders and need to make these kinds of decisions where we can't just give the same amount to all of them. I understand they want us to think about this issue and that's why we can't just split the money, but it still irks me, obviously. Anyway, next class, we'll be able to see which of these categories is worthy of our consideration and which one(s) we should just ignore. Tune in next week to find out!
