There's a fictional scenario which is (summarized version) about development, industry, and globalization from Disney and MacDonalds that will essentially eliminate forestry as well as the small folk culture remaining there. I'm arguing for forestry, so

1) Against development

2) For preserving folk culture

I'm going to call that someone on the opposite side (e.g. MacDonald's or Disney) is going to say that folk culture needs to be eliminated. The tribe in question takes part in wars/conflicts and 1/4 of the entire male population is killed violently each year. It's a really undeveloped society in terms of modern views; crude death rate is very high, total fertility rate is very high, and the tribe itself would be classified as within stage 1 of the Demographic Transition model

I'm pretty sure the tribe itself is fictional too, though whether there are smaller minorities still within stage 1 of the DTM, not countries, was not made clear to us

Anyhow it's all about making a compromise. We need to make a presentation right away (there's a Unit test tomorrow and the debate starts right after that). The teacher told us yesterday to go on the forums and talk with our group members (so the Forest group was supposed to converse within) but no one has posted other than me, and the only post is me asking for participation lol

I went around the school today and painstakingly told everyone to "Please post tonight". Looks like it's ineffective lol
