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?
