Fifth discussion

Topic: Do we associate with other country?

moderator: Emily

[Agree side]
Lucy: If we associate with other country, it will be good for Apollon's development. And it is good opportunity to know other culture.

Asley: If we associate with other country, we can introduce other technology. And if  a big disaster happen, we can help each other.

Sara: I am a photographer, so I want to take photos of other country. If we associate with other country, I can save a lot of collections and sell them.


[Disagree side]
Sophie: Now, we live without association. If we associate with other country, we may have some problems. I am an entertainer, so I can introduce Apollon to other country.

Isabela: I am worried about war. If we associate with other country, we have to help each other. I am a high school student, so I don't know about politics very much, but I don't want to help other country. And I am also worried about disappearance of our culture.


[Questions]
Lucus (audience):  What is the merits other country associates with Apollon?
Sara: Apollon has high technology,and the example is clones.
Lucus: Does it mean we teach clones's technology?
Asley: We shold not talk about clones to other country, but other coutry can be useful our high technology.

Emily: Next, we want to focus on business associattion.
Lusy: The tourism is unstable, and it will decrease in the furure. If we associate with other country, our work will be easy and wider.
Isabela: However, I think we can develop by ourselves.
Sophie: We can hold events. For, Apollon's day.
Asley: Associating with other country is a good opportunity to let a lot of people know about Apollon.


[Conclusion]
We should try to have association with other country.


[My comment]
First, I thought the meaning of association was a little wide and that it was difficult to understant the discussion. As our teacher said, the information was few and the group should have said it in detail previously. However, I also should have asked various things positively to them. So, I want to try it next time.
