After
that we were given a scenario of a protest for us to ponder on:
“ A local government
official was charged of graft and corruption and was suspended from his office.
The government official announced that the charges were all fabricated and that
he will not step down from his office. A
large group of supporters are present to protest. They barricaded the building
where the official has once taken office.
A struggle seems to start breaking out between the protesters and the
police. “
Questions
were given and we were to think of what were possible outcomes
