Moderator: Angelina
Panelists: Laura, Mac, Tama, Jack, Belle
Laura: agree
She and her husband sometimes work at night, so they can't take care of their children. And there are many family in the same situation.
Mac: agree
He is a pilot, so he works at night mainly. He worry about his children.
Tama: disagree
If a stranger appers, it is very dangerous and we need workers. Also, their grand parents can take care of them.
Jack: disagree
He has children but his parents take care of his children, so he doesn't need it. People should rely on their family.
Belle:disagree
She thinks to get permission from the government is difficult so we can't get support. So the care center's cost is very high.
Question
Tama: Why don't you hire a baby sitter?
Laura: I can't rely on them and the cost is higher than care canter.
Sophie: Is there age limit?
Jack: by 10 years old.
Conclusion
Citizens of Apollon make 24-hour child care center. Government should reconsider budget to give aim to them.
Final comment
I couldn't understand the 24-hour child care canter means a nursely school extended business hours. I think allmost all audience misunderstood this point. They shold have expained more clearly what is 24-hour child care center. But they finaly get conclusion! It was great.

We should prohibit students from working part-time jobs.
Moderator: Carol
Panelists: Finnian, Hanna, Kofy, Lucus, Allie
Now, there is no law or rule for students about part-time jobs so some students is working part-time jobs now. In this discussion, students means junior high school and high school students.
Finnian: agree
Students should concentrate studying and club activity. Also, some students work part-time jobs to hang out with their friends. It's not good.
Hanna: agree
She thinks the most important thing for students is studying and the parents should control their children's money.
Kofy: She is a writer, so she wants students to read books more and more. Also she worries about losing their time to study by working part-time jobs.
Lusus: disagree
He doesn't go to school now and he is working as a comedian, because he doesn't have enough money. Students whose parents are not rich can't go to school without working part-time jobs.
Allie: disagree
Working outside is good for student because they can learn a lot of things, for example, they can make friends and help family's income, learn resposibility.
Conclusion
Students have to get parents' and school's permission to work part-time jobs. School can choose make part-time job club or provide students part-time jobs.
Final comment
We're so sorry for audience because our voice were really small!
Sometimes I couldn't understand panelists' opinions and summarize well. But all panelists said opinion a lot and audience really helped us so we could get conclusion. Also I could enjoy this discussion! Thank you.

Can we submit a bid to host the Olympics?
Moderetor: Sala
Panelists: Emily, Isabela, Lucy, Sofy, Ashley
Emily:agree
Last time, We decided to associate with other countries so Olympic is big chance to advertise Apollon to the other country.
Isabela: agree
Many young people are interested in Olympic, so holding the Olympic make young people's spirits up.
Lucy: agree
Olympic is good for our economics. I'm sure the number of tourists will increase.
Sofy: disagree
We don't have enough money and places.
Ashley: disagree
I worry about money and places, too. Also we need stadiums and Olympic Village. It cost too much.
Emily: We don't need to worry about hotels. Apollon have a lot of them.
Sofy: How about stadium? We don't have them.
Isabela: Once we build stadiums, we can use them for many events, for example, concerts and festival and so on.
Robert: I'll show you the information; to hold Olympics, other countries needed 2,3 billion or 10,4 billion or 44 billion American dollars. I think the Olympic is mismatch to Apollon.
Rachel: I suggest marathon meeting in Sunflower festival.
Sala: I think it is good idea.
Conclusion:
We will hold marathon festival as one of the contents of Sunflower Festival on the last Saturday on July.
Comment
It was good they managed to come to their conclusion. In this discussion, all panelists spoke actively and they got their conclusion, so I think it was good discussion. But I think the Moderator Sala spoke her idea too much! This conclusion is just her best idea. But she tried to understand panelists' opinions hard and she could summarize. In addition, thanks to her there are no silence during discussion. I could learn the importance of moderator from this discussion.

Should we introduce sales tax system?
Moderator: Kate
Panelists: Rie, Rachel, Amy, Anna, Alex
Rie: disagree
He disagree with this topic in terms of three points below:
1. the gap between low income family and high income family
2. coorpration tax is better
3. income tax is better
Rachel: disagree
She thinks low income family can't pay more tax. She warrys about them.
Amy: disagree
She think if we introduce sales tax in Apollon, Apollon people don't want to go shopping and it'll influent Apollon's economy. Also, she is a doctor and she have to buy expensive medical instrument, so she doesn't want to pay more much money.
Anna: agree
We had decided to hold some events like Sunflower festivel so the government need more money, so sales tax is good idea to gather money easily.
Alex: agree
Her sons are student so she hope the government help parents with educational expenses.
Question
Moderator: Rie said it is difficult for low income family to pay sales tax, what do you think, Anna?
Anna: Using reduced tax rete is good idea, I think.
Rachel: But it is difficult for clarks to find someone who get low income. How do we know who is the people?
Anna: The government shold investigate Apollon people's income, and the government can give them some papers or cards which proof the right of getting reduced tax rate.
Amy: I don't want to pay tax more.
Anna: We decided to hold some events in Apollon so the governmen need more money than now.
Rachel: But now, our main industry is tourism, and if we introduce sales tax, some tourists don't buy many products and our tourism will not improve.
Anna: Then, we can make some duty free shops.
Rachel: It is good idea!
Isabera: What kind of tax do we pay now?
Moderator and panelists: Now, we pay some taxs except for sales tax and income tax, for example residence tax.
Conclusion
We will introduce sales tax or income tax or both of them.
Final comment
I think this discussion was very good! Because the moderator could summarize the panelists' opinions very well and the panelists could spoke many times. They couldn't decide which is better, sales tax or income tax, but if they talk about the topic next time too, I'm sure they can get the conclusion concretely. Anyway, the discussion was very active and I want to follow them.

---

I think they should explain about the point system more and more before discussion. Many audience couldn't understand clearly. But I felt they prepared a lot, so I expect their next discussion. And moderater, Belle, she tried to summarize all opinion and it was very good job!

We should make a national holiday, Sunflower Day.
Moderater: Lucus Arden
Panelists: Finnian Lee, Kofy Keita, Allie Collins, Hanna Marin, Carol Smith
Finnian: agree
If we make national holiday and hold Sunflower Festival, Apollon will develop. It is good for Apollon's economy.
Kofy: agree
We should be aware of Sunflower as our national flower more. Sunflower's day is useful for that.
Allie: agree
Last year, we decided to use sunflower to symbolize Apollon, and Sunflower festival is one of the method to develop Apollon. We should hold Sunflower festival on Sunflwer's day.
Carol(me): disagree
If we hold some events for national holiday, we need money and place and people who prepare the events. Also, school children can't go to school because of national holiday.
Hanna: disagree
Many young people don't think Sunflower is important as national flower, and sunflowers don't suit as national holiday.
Lucus:What do you want to do in Sunflower Day?
Finnian: I want to plant many sunflowers with Apollon's people, and watch them. Also, sell some products by sunflowers to tourists.
Kofy: I want to hold sunflower's photo contest.
Emily: I think we should set Sunflower Day on weekend(Satueday or Sunday), then school children can go to school.
Carol: It is good idea.
Carol: Now, we should think about what we do on Sunflwer Day.
Finnian: Iwant to hold photo contest and sunflower festival.
Carol: I think photo contest is good idea because we don't need much money or big place for it.
Conclusion
We make Sunflower's Day in last Saturday in July, and we hold Sunflower Festival.
Final comment
I think we should prepare for the discussion more. Also, I've forgot I'm 65 years old, it was my bad point. We got conclusion unnaturaly and we needed more time to discuss. But our discussion became better than our first discussion, I think.

Should we assciate with other country?
Moderater: Emily Thoma
Panelists:Lucy Walter, Ashley Turner, Sara Cooper, Sophie Dawson, Isabela Horan
Lucy:agree
She agreed with this topic because we can get many oppotunities to know other culture.
Ashley:agree
If we associate with other country, we can help each other in disaster. Or when another war happens, other country may help us.
Sara:agree
In Apollon's book store, there is no other country's books. She is photographer, so she wants to buy and sell photo collections.
Sophie:disagree
If we associate with other country, some problems may happen.
Isabela:diagree
If a war happen, we have to help the other country. Also, she worry about disappearing Apollon's own culture.
Question
Sara:We don't have to help other country in the war. We can only teade or do something like business.
Sophie to Sara:
You can associate with other country's company, it's ok.
But we don't have to associate as the country, Apollon.
Ashley:Associating with other country is good for tourism.
Sophie:To improve our tourism, we don't have to use associating. There are many methods for example, holding events.
Conclusion
We should try to associate to develop tourism and economism.
Final comment
I think they didn't discuss enough, but suddenly they got conclusion. It was little unnatural. But the moderater, Emily did great job! She tried not to make silence. Next time, if they prepare for the presentation more and more, it'll be better.
