Climate Change Reflection
Did any of the Options appeal to you more than the others?
Options 3 was the most appealing to me because rather than adopting a very aggressive cutdown or building our defenses against disasters, Option 3 looks for an actual solution to the problem and encourages innovation that would solve the problem rather than just prolong the the lifespan of the planet.
Did you hear or think of any new way of addressing the issues associated with the warming of the climate?
The one thing that stuck with me was that any solution that we can come up with, we have to consider the opinions of the public and consider if it will be acceptable to them because the problem does not only need and idealistic solution, it needs a practical one that the public can accept and support rather than just a small proportion of the population that is willing to sacrifice some freedom and comfort. The bigger the proportion of the human population that is involved, the better the chances for success.
What are your thoughts on the use of Public Deliberation in the classroom or the community? Is this something you would like to facilitate ?
The use of public deliberation would be great in the classroom and the community. it would allow for a safe space for healthy discussion in the classroom and prepare an individual for participating in the community. This will train students in the art of peaceful communication and discussion, allowing for the exchange of ideas in an environment where one can free share their ideas, which can evolve into viable solutions for many of the problems in the world. this is definitely be something i would like to facilitate.
