1. Confusing

2. I expected the game to have a single set of rules that everyone was going to follow, and I figured that everyone would get along and understand the game.

3. I realized something was wrong when Cora was telling us different rules than what we had and I thought that she read the rules wrong, and then Julia went to the board and started writing stuff up on it and so I knew something was wrong.

4. I just went along with the rules that I had been given and so I just started playing that way and I was authoritative.

5. We weren't able to explain what we were trying to say and we weren't able to convey our true thoughts and feelings. This created confusion and tension because we couldn't convey our true thoughts.

6. Yes I believe that it is appropriate. I think that this game shows how confusing it can be for everyone to communicate with one another effectively without getting upset with one another. This game was fun but it shows how the real world is not a game. It shows that everyone has their own way of doing things and it shows that everyone needs to except each others beliefs. This game shows how more strong willed and authoritative people will take over.

7. I don't think that this is necessary for world peace. Sure it would be nice if everyone was the same and we all could get along, but this isn't going to happen. Everyone has their own views and cultural values that they want to follow, and everyone needs to except this. Everyone needs to understand each others points of views and work out difference peacefully and this will help create more peace.

8. It shows that everyone follows a different set of "rules" or values that everyone else must except. Everyone must realize that we need to peacefully cooperate and get along to properly work things out. Everyone needs to be excepting of one another and we will be much better off.
