Seventh discussion

Topic: Let's make point-system in Apollon.

[About point system]
   If people do something good for Apollon , they can get points in your card and they can use points with the card. Money for the system is given by the goverment.
   They talked about two things. One is how can we collect points, and the other is where can we use them.

1. How can we collect them?

Jack: Tour guide volunteer.
Tama: I want to know the insight.
Jack: They have to attend the program. Tour company have to hold the program.

Tama: We will hold sunflower festival, but I'm worried that who will do the staff.  So, if people work as the staff, they can get points.
Mac: Sunflower festival is held once a year. So, the volunteer staff isn't a good chance to get points.
Tama: Even if sunflower festival is held once a year, people can get big points.

Mac: We give points to people who bought the foods made in Apollon.

Jack: Photo contest is held in sunflower festival. So, if people take part in the photo contest, they can get points.
Tama: Can everyone who took part in it get points?
Jack: Yes.

Angelina: I suggest recycle system. People who trashed garbage properly can get points.
Jack: We can't know the people who trashed garbage properly.
Angelina: People have point cards, so we can know it.

Carol (audience): I think to trash garbage properly is our duty. It is too easy.
Jack: I don't think so. If people can get a lot of points, they will be happy.

Sophie(audience): Why do you think photo contest is good for Apollon, Jack?
Jack: Because it is a new attempt.



2. Where can we use them?

Jack: Public utilities.
Belle(moderator): There are a lot of utilities, so please tell me the examples.
Jack: Train fare, bus fare, and so on.

Mack: We can use them in shopping center. 
Jack: This system is controled by the goverment, so your idea is difficult.
Mack: Only some stores which installed the system.

Angelina: People can use the points when they buy only foods.
Mac: Why do you think so?
Angelina: People can get points when they did something good for Apollon. So, I think it isn't good  to use for amusement.
Laura: I think it is good to use for amusement because more and more people will join the volunteer.

Belle: Point-system is controled by the goverment, so we have to narrow the places which can use points.
Tama: We decided people can't use points in clothes shops.

Lobert(audience): We have to pay tax, and money comes from our tax. It means we are goverment. So, I'm disagree with making point-system.
Jack: We can cut work cost by making point-system, so we don't have to worry about money.
Hanna: I think money problem can't be helped.


[Conclution?]
We want to make a point-system.


[My coment]
Today's moderator gave audience time of questions at the early stage. I think it was a good idea, but it was difficult for me to ask something because we weren't given enough information. Besides, today's group didn't separate into agree side and disagree side. Although point-system is a new attempt and an interesting idea, a lot of people didn't seem to be agree with it. I think money problem is the biggest problem and we should not ignore it. So, I think they should have disscused carefully whether we make a point-sytem or not.
