HAS RAVAGED THE PAF 101 COMMUNITY!!!! Uh oh…. HURRICANE SANDY HAS RAVAGED THE PAF 101 COMMUNITY!!!!

FLICKER THE LIGHTS!!!!

HURRICANE SANDY It will take 15 competition points from this class to compensate for losses caused by this disaster. We are still paying for Sandy.

Wait! There’s More! A financial meltdown has taken more points away! Our society has just lost another 15 points.

Wait! There’s Even More! Everyone gets basic health insurance. This will cost another 30 points.

Debt Takes its Toll!!! Another 33 because classes before you have borrowed from your total points. To make it budget neutral, all groups would have less than zero competition points which means taking points away from earned grades.

Total Points Available To be distributed among the 10 groups

Proposed Point Wars 14 13 12 10 5 4 3 11 6 A C B D E H F G J I 1.) STATUS QUO (Post-Disaster Points) 14 13 12 10 5 4 3 2.) Reduce the Burden on the Poor 11 3.) Communist Points total 60 because Communism is inefficient 6

7 Groups Must Vote for One of these by 1:30 OR the status quo below will operate Choose 1 of these Options: 1.) Status quo for the 70 points 2.) Reduce Tax on Poor and Increase it on the Rich 3.) Communist – Everyone gets an equal amount of points Spend time on this slide and let it sink in the difference between the percent and a flat deduction. Inform students that each group will have 60 seconds to come together and choose an option. Only let them see the next slide after they can comprehend the situation.

What the Point War Is All About Did this class break the pattern of self- interest over public interest? What is the role of discourse?

How Change Happens People have to work with people in power Only way to get change is for the powerful to want the change to happen enough to let it happen Mandela needed the ruling National Party Islamic Fundamentalists in Iran received support of the Iranian Middle Class British government decided enough with the loser American colonies
