"Should we develop our country side?"

Moderator: Hanna Marin
Panelists: Allie Collins, Lucus Arden, Finnian Lee, Carol Smith, Kofy Keita

Allie: agree
She suggested to build some botanical gardens in country side, and the botanical gardens will make Apollon more famous and keep our rare plants.

Lucus: agree
He thinks there are too many people in city side, so it is good idea that some people in city side move to country side. We should develop our country side to do that.

Finnian: agree
She thinks the country side is inconvenient for young people. We should improve our transportation system, and some people will move to the city side.

My opinin: disagree
When I was young Apollon had more nature. If we develop our country side, we'll lost our nature more and more. We must reserve our nature.

Kofy: disagree
She is a writer so she wants to work at silent place, so she is afraid the country side will become noisy because of the development. In addition she is also worry about the environmental pollution.


Hanna: How should we protect our nature?
Finnian: I suggest to make some buildings with plants, and we can develop our country side and protect the nature. Or we can use the vacant area to build some buildings without breaking the nature.

Hanna: How can we use the vacant area?
Lucus: We should invite some companies in country side, and some people in city side will move to the country side to work at the companies.
Kofy: If we use the vacant area, the environmental pollution will be problem. I don't agree with this idea.

Conclusion
We should develop our country side with some plans to protect nature.

Final comment
After the discussion, we had a lot of points we should reconsider. "Where is the country side?" was a big problem for us. Next time, we should prepare more and more, and we will have more good discussion.

"Should we use solar energy instead of nuclear energy?"

Moderator: Isabela Horan
Panelists: Lucy Walter, Ashley Turner, Sola Cooper, Sophie Dawson, Emily Thoma


Lucy: agree
Solar system can save electricity better than nuclear system.
Ashley: agree
Solar system is cheaper than nuclear system in long term, and good for environment.
Sala: agree
Nuclear is harmful and big problem may happen in the future.
Sophie: disagree
Solar system needs large space and it will kill some animals or plants. Then the number of tourists can reduce and we will get damage in nature and economic.
Enily: disagree
Solar system is unstable because it depends on weather. She is a singer so she need big energy for her concerts. We need a lot of money to make solar system.


Isabela "From your occupational point of view, what do you think?"
Sala: She is photographer, and she wants to reserve nature for her photographs. We should stop nuclear energy system and protect our nature.
Sophie: She is an entertainer, so she needs big energy like Emily. Solar energy won't be enough. In addition, Sala said if we introduce solar stem, we can reserve our nature, but she insisted if we build new solar system's building, absolutely the nature will be killed.


Emily "Who pay the cost for solar?"
Sala: Everyone. Everyone use energy so we should pay by tax or charity or something like that.


Audience question "Why are you discussing just only solar energy? There are many ways to get energy."
Group answer: They thought solar system is more popular than other ways. They will talk about other ways someday.


Consensus
Stay nuclear energy system and try to reduce the energy we use until we find better energy system.


I think this consensus is good idea. We need more discussion about other ways to get energy. The moderator was great because she often summarized the panelists' opinion, so we audience could understand their opinion easily. In addition, she arranged thinking time and it was very useful for not only the panelists but also audience to improve this discussion. I wanted the panelists to discuss more each other because they often talked just through the moderator. But I think it was good discussion and I enjoyed this topic.
