The Town of Weserville
This past week we started working on Weserville. A small area withing a country in Pennsylvania, with approximately 1,705 people with an unemployment rate of 13.2%. Weserville is far away from stores, gas stations, and hospitals. The nearest store was about one hour away and the nearest hospital was about two hours away. My economy class represents 22 people from Weserville and we created families and had town elections. We split up into groups and were given a $10 million budget to build one thing on a piece of unused land, and we debated on which would benefit Weserville more.

Today's discussion in class helped to change my views from being behind town center idea to being behind the natural gas idea. Today was a good class and I like the way that the debate was run.
ReplyDeleteToday in class the debate was run very well. I felt that the way we went about things with the debate and coming up with the plans was very fair.
