Global Sim Meal

Think about the Global Sim Meal Simulation we did in class. Think about these questions and leave a comment on them below!

1. How did you feel as a member of your country?
2. How did you feel about members of other countries?
3. How did your country spend the money that you had?
4. Did you agree with how it was spent?
5. There are enough resources in our world that would allow all nations to live at an acceptable standard of living. Why do you think that nations don’t just share?
6. How do you think our world would change if everyone in the world had access to equal resources?

life isnt fair. and i think that if we shared the money that the world had i dont think there would be much war because its like destroying your food sorce. and instead of giving alot of the money we get on famous people and certain individuals the world wouldnt be having the probles with starvation

Brett 7-6 said...

1. I felt angery cuz there was not much room it was loud every one was yelling at eachother. No one really cared what I sayed. I also felt leftout and unfare.

2. I felt they were lucky cuz they had lots of money and could walk around.

3. Our president spent all of our money on bread and jam.

4. No because he didnt ask anyone what we wanted he just went and spent it.

5. I think they dont share because if we dont we can trade resources and stuff with differnt countries.

6.I think our world would be a bit more fare and there wouldnt be as many homeless people or as many people starving.

Megan 7-6 said...

I felt annoyed as a member of my country. That they got all the good food and had way more money than us.My country spent money on bread and jam,I agreed with what they spent it on. Because they might not be fair to everyone and they might fight over things. Everyone wouldn`t fight over things.

Dale 7-6 said...

rachel.c 7-6 said...

board, angry, not well, no, no because if all the rich countries would give all their food away and then they wouldnt have any, it wouldnt work out good because some countries would take the same amount of food then some countries wouldnt have anything

blake said...

Very Funny Sydnie

brett said...

Dylan said:ya i took all the rice but i never ate it so i felt rich.

Ya and how many people were happy with u? oh wait none

blake said...

Ya dylan everybody was freaking out

shannonF76 said...

1.Well i didnt really get to do anything,4 people didnt even get to go and get water.
2.well for the most part i think they were pretty gererous with thier food because people from other contries kept coming to give us food.
3.well president Avery bought us food with the litte money that we had.
4.Yeah,i guess so because there probably nothing better to buy.

5.Well because maybe they want to make the world a better place.
6.well i think that would probably be a good thing so that people are all equally buying the same pricing of things so jelousy doesnt occur.

paige76 said...

1.I felt kind packed in
2.I felt that they were being genrous by donating thins to us
3.they spent the money on bread and jam
4.yes because then we had food to eat
5.i think that nations don't share because there are to many nations that don't like eachother
6.i think that the world would change by there might be more traiding going on

dylan 76 said...

2. jelios because there were rubeing it in
3. bad could of bought more keup
4.more water
5.no
6.no

MaCk said...

I think that the only reason is that the world is kinda all in there own divitions and some are more poor than others so thats why people had more food than others.
and people like dylan just waisted all the food he licked the rice and spit it in the bowl and said its for us but whatever im never doing this again =D

avery76 said...

1.I felt very stressed because i was the president so i was running around to throw stuff away and to clean up and keep our country clean and representible. And it was hard because i was trying to feed my country with all the food that I had
2.At first I felt like they were bragging but then after i felt like they were being really generous because they would give us bread and water and other foods.
3.We bought bread and jam
4.i agree with how the money was spent because i bought it.
5.because we dont realize how much money we actually have and we dont realize how much money countries like Africa dont have.
6.I think it would be a better world to live in because then everyone would be equal.

Dale 7-6 said...

Ya alot of people were mad and sad because other people were being selfish and rude.

marina76 said...

I felt angry that hardly anyone even TRIED to use an inside voice also, soe of the members of my group where acting ridiculous! Our country spent the money on bread and jam so it was okay.
I think that the nations don't share because people are selfish, there's really nothing we can do about that because people only give what they want. I think that there would still be war because people are power hungry and greedy, but some people would be better off, while other people would loose some things (like $700 jeans).

sydnie said...

haha ya i eat to much bread :)

mike76 said...

hahah brett thats funny!!

brett said...

Dyaln said:bad could of bought more keup


What would we of done with ketchup thats all we could of bought?

Ally :) said...

1- I felt good because we only had two people in our country and we agreed in what we wanted to buy.
2- I felt that they were kinda demanding and always asking for your food if you were richer than them. Also i felt kinda good because we got food from the richer countries and we got water rom them too.
3- WE talked about it and thought that we shouldn't just buy silly stuff like pop and candy so we bought bread and jam and butter and when we got water we hurried so that we wouldn't get money taken away.
4- Yes i agree that we had good choices with what we spent our money on.
5- They don't just share because if you are the top country and everyone is gonna come to you for money and food and it gets tiring.
6- I think it wouldn't be a world because that what the world is; it is about asking everyone fro food and making deals with other countries.

Brittany Jane 7-6 said...

1.It was kinda fun, but it was kinda scary how everybody was fighting, like when we got 1 peice of chocholate and I was pushed to the floor, whitch hurt, by the way.

2.At first they were all kind of braggy, but by the end they were really generous.

3.We spent it on bread and jam.

4.Yes, I agree because it was really good,and it wasnt spent on ketchup or something stupid like that.

5.I think nations dont share because they are greedy.

6.If everything was shared equally there wouldnt be fighting, yelling,ect.

blake said...

@ britt yes it was quite fun thank you for asking but sorry for being mean :p

MaCk said...

hey MR.Hyland may we please have some pop

Emma76 said...

As a member of my country, I felt pretty good. We had enough money to get what we needed or wanted, and the more fortuanate people were great about sharing their riches. The members of one country were not great, as they made too much noise and were really crazy. Our country spent our money on food, because spending our whole $30 on one cup of pop for each of us was a pretty bad deal. We each got enough food though, and it was great. I liked how it was spent, but I did have a pretty big say in exactly what we bought. I think nations don't share because having more is a big status symbol and humans are hoarders. Lots of leaders don't care about their people, like most of the leaders in Africa, and therefore they don't have adequate food, water, healthcare and education. If everybody in the world had equal resources, our world would be more advanced than it is alredy, because all of the great minds wouldn't be oppressed by poverty. There would also be more war, because everybody would have equal access to military stuff and would fight with everybody else to get more, because of that status symbol problem. If we could brainwash society to be happy with what they had it would be great, but it would be terrible if we were brainwashed so much that it became like More's Utopia. And that would be very, very bad indeed. If you don't know what More's Utopia is, Google it.

blake why would i tell u ! ;)

Unknown said...

1. I felt like i was not very important, because the people in the other two groups kind of showed off.
2.Some members were not being fair and were stealing and hiding food, exspecially the food that cost more.
3.we bought the bread and some jam, I think we spent it pretty good, a person in our group stole all the food!
4. yes, because it was all we could buy.
5. People are greedy, and always want more, and more, and more.
6. It would be great, but sinse people want more, it would never happen.

Brittany Jane 7-6 said...

@ nicholas
Ya there shouldve been tacos, but we wouldnt have been able to afford them :(

blake said...

you better tell me

nicholas 76 said...

Sklapsky 7-6 said...

Mr. Sklapsky thinks #1 is bad!

kobe :D said...

1. bad because my country was poor and we couldnt afford any good food.
2.They were good because they bought us spoons so we didnt need to eat with our hands.
3.We bought rice and bread and baloni with our money.
4.no i thought we should of got chips and pop.
5.Because some countrys need resources that others have so they say if you give me this ill give some of my resouces.
6.The world would be way different because then they would not have that much and every country would be the same pretty much.

maxine 77 said...

good and farely

they were very nice because one country buy use rice and spoons

good we got stuff people wanted and not stuff we did not need like pop when we had free water

yes everyone got a say

because if one country does not make any moey and one country make all the money that is not fare because they did not do anything to ern there food.

we would have allot more fight because people might not be pulling there weight in the food part of the deal

zac 77 said...

1. as a member of a fourth world country i felt poor and hungry
2.i felt like they where spoiled people who didnt care
3.we bought rice and bread
4.yes i did........ but they did not distribute it farley
5.they want to keep more themselves so they can be spioled and rich. the wore resources you have the more power you have over other people
6. there wouldnt be wars or any violence because the reson most wars start is because of the resouces the other country has so ther ewoulndt be near as much wars or violence

leif77 said...

1. I felt like we were mistreated and had unfair circumstances compared to other countries that were treated very greatly.

2. I felt that they were treated very well and they had it good, while we didn't even get spoons.

3. We bought rice first of all, then we bought bread and salami and then some people who were generous donated to us.

4. I thought it was spent well.

5. Lots of nations don't share because they just want to make money and make trades for other reasons like building their army, getting more power, ect.

6. Our world might be better, but it could be worse in some ways. It would definately be alot more peaceful.

shanae said...

#3 we got lots of rice, bread, and balgoni. also we only had 3 minutes to walk to mrs.dempsey's room to get a cup of water that was free. but with the water we only got 1 glass each adn thats it.

Anonymous said...

the rich country was nic the gave food to the poor country and we got alot of gifts from the rich kids:)

skylor77 said...

1.I felt as if I didn't really get to choose much
2.I felt that donovan donated a little more than necessary to the 4's and 3's
3.Well donovan spent about half our money on 3's and 4's and about 1 quarter of the money on food for us
4.No not really
5.Because they're greedy hoarders that figure " if they die that's not my problem."

6.There would problebly be more peace in the world..... maybe not

nic 77 said... said...

1.not good because i only had 10 dollars for 13 people.
2.like their better because they had more money and the 2 richest places had chairs
3.good we got rice and sandwithes but then i went to jail for stealing water.
4. yes because we all shared it equaly.
5. because they dont think sometimes or they want to stay healthy and safe. and also some countries think because its there part they will keep it.
6.it would still be hard because one country might know how to spend it better than another.

shanae said...

yes and no. i think that everyone in nunmber 4 was screaming in the presidents ear so she didnt know what to get. so she just got a lot of rice and bread and balgoni. i didnt like the rice so i wouldnt have spent it on that. i would have got bread and some kind of meat insted.

kiana 77:))) said...

it was alot of fun we should have it agian

skylor77 said...

we got a fair amount of money us #1's

hana 7-7 said...

1.I felt we were poor because we were the forth and we didnt have tat much money to buy things.
2.i felt that the others members were more rich than use and it wasent fair because they got more food
3.we bought bread,rice,blonie
4.kinda because lots of people wanted jam and butter but kirk decided most of the foods we got
5.i think they dont share because some people are greedy or they are not allowed to share.
6.I think no one would be dieing from starvation and it might be differnt for us because we wouldnt get as much food as we usally do.

said...said...said... said...

hurry harry u dont want to get eaten by the owl

kiana:)77 said...

in group 4 the guys were so selfish and they were take everybodys food

shanae said...

i think the nations dont share it becuase some nations are very poor and can barely afford a pot of rice for each person. other nations that have more stuff i think are just greedy and dont want to share with anyone.

Brittany 7-7 said...

1) Hungry
2)Good they shared there money with our country.
3)We bought bread, rice, and baloni
4)No i think we should have all had a say.
5)Because there all greedy.
6)There would be no war or fight i think the wrld would be in peace.

zac 77 said...

@emma.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................wow thats to long to read

Paige 7-7 said...

1) As a member of country one I felt good that I got treated so well, it made ma feel special.

2)I felt bad for the more poor country's(country's 3 and 4) it was a litte sad to watch them fight over food, it definatly made me feel good for what I had and made me want to help them even more.

3)We spent the money we had by getting nice things for us like food, water, pop, ect., but we also spent 50$ on the more poor countrys so that they had nice things to, and that made me feel good.

4)Yes I was very happy to help other countrys it made me happy to see that they were getting more food then they could have afforded because of me and my country.

5)I think that they don't share because they like to have that powerand it makes tham feel good to be wealthy.

6)I think our world would change by being alot better of a place if everyone jut helped eachother.
