Fifth discussion

Topic : "Do we associate with other country?"

The moderator was Emily Thoma.They didn't want to make a law, just idea.

Agree: Lucy, Ashley and Sara
Disagree : Sophie and Isabela

Lucy
She thought it's good for Apollon's development because they come to import many things and have opportunities to know other cultures if they associate with other country.

Ashley
She said if we associate with other county, we can introduce other's good point like technology. Besides, if some disaster happens, we can help each other.

Sara
She is a photographer and now she can't find many other country's photo books in Apollon. If we associate with other country, she can sell pictures or items and she can enjoy them.


Sophie
She thought we don' have to associate with other country because now we can live without association. Then, if we introduce it, some problems will happen and our lives can be disturbed.

Isabela
She also disagreed with this topic. If we associate with them, we have to help each other such as war. Besides, she worried about disappearing our own cultures.

In the middle of the discussion, they focused on business.

Emily: What kind of merit of business do you expect for with association?

Lucy thought only torism is unstable for Apollon. And the number of people who come to Apollon will decrease in near future, so we should have association in economics and so on.

Emily: How do we develop without association?

Isabela said we have to build something enjoyable for visitors.
Sophie thought holding original event is good such as attracting for visitors.

In contrast, Ashley thought having association is good because the number of people who know Apollon will increase and visitors also increase.

Conclusion
We should try to have association for torism and economics.

I think it was good they said they wanted to express just idea not making law. But in the middle of the discussion, I came not to understand why they thought only torism is unstable and what they were talking about. So if they have more information before, it was better, I think.
