In the this simulation, I helped advise my group members and work with representatives from other countries and organizations to come to an agreement on the “refugee crisis”.\u00a0Overall, I believe the simulation went very well. There are, however, several things that could have made it much more realistic. The basis of the simulation was the bringing together of several groups to help solve a refugee problem. Though I understand that because this a fictional situation, and that it should not be taken into complete seriousness, I think there are things that could of been done in order to add a sense of tangibility to the process. One flaw I noticed when taking part in this simulation is that there is very little guidance other than to not act out of bounds of what you think your representative country would in real life. Because of this, the participants could basically do whatever they want, because they were pulling solutions of of thin air. Though you can say that having the simulation in a U.N. council format limits the erraticness of countries\u2019 propositions, at the end of the day, people were allowed to do whatever they wanted because no real boundaries were drawn. Having the simulation ran like this also put limits on more introverted people who were not as eager to spit out whatever came to their mind. A way to augment this problem, would be to implement limitations on what people can and can’t do. These limitations would differ from country to country, organization to organization, etc. If things such as paper money, or symbolic military units were to utilized in the simulation, participants would not only have less room to budge as they know what their country can and can’t do, but also have a more realistic experience, as in a real world situation, participants would be able to understand why certain countries or organizations cannot do certain things based on their needs and possessions. An example of this can be seen in the \u201cguns and butter\u201d simulation. Because people wanted what was best for their own, and they had to utilize \u201ctangible\u201d resources to do so, people were more engaged in the process of negotiations. This contrasts to the refugee crisis simulation, where because of the lack of palpability, people weren’t as immersed in the scenario, and weren\u2019t as motivated to protect the terms of the country or organization they were representing. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
