Panel discussion : to build an underground studying cafe with free space

Alex :She agrees with this opinion. She wants to compose and study music, but doesn't want to disturb her grandmother's sleep at home so she said she wants to build this cafe and do different activities.If this café is built, she will use it for six hours a day. She thinks this café can be a place of communication in many ways.


Chipp : She is neutral in this opinion. She believes that studying can be done at home. She says that the free spaces in cafes and libraries are a bit noisy, so it's no different than studying at home. Building in the basement is dangerous and the island has a lot of beautiful scenery so it's better to make the most of it. She thinks it would cost a lot of money to build a cafe in the basement.

Jane : She disagrees with this opinion. She is a supermarket manager and believes that if the café is built, it will increase the number of people using the café and decrease the number of supermarket customers.

Lily : She agrees with this opinion. Many people find it difficult to study at home, and students get hungry easily, so studying in a café makes them more efficient. Also, when a couple comes to shop, the husband can stay in the café while the wife does the shopping.

・There are no universities on this island.

・High school students are not allowed to leave the house after 10 p.m.

→ Fewer people use the cafe.

Conclusion.

Fewer people would use the café now, and building a café in the basement would cost a fortune, so stop building it right away so they will build it when Alex becomes famous and rich as a musician.


My Thoughts.

It was the first time for me to attend a panel discussion, so there were many things I didn't understand, but it was very interesting to hear many opinions. I thought it was great that everyone thought well about their characters and put their opinions together and understood that in order to have a better discussion, we need to find out more about what decisions have been made in the past on this island.

    Thank you for your report Miyu. It was well done. Especially your 'My Thoughts' ending was good. Please make sure to indicate in your conclusion whether a consensus was reached or not, and what that consensus was.

  Topic : Farming fisheries in Apollon Gon : agree /  Sea resources are being depleted, so farmed fish will provide for it. The demand for seafood is increasing all over the world, so we aim to improve the economy by producing it in Apollo as well. Anna : agree / Raising farmed fish will improve the economy of Apollon. It is my dream to become such a profession. We are surrounded by a rich ocean and should do industry to take advantage of it. Me: disagree /  I am against fish farming.  Fish farming has a bad effect on natural fish.    It is not good for our beautiful seascape. My uncle is a fisherman, so he said there would be decrease their work.  Sora : disagree / Fish excrement and food residues pollute the ocean  I think there are three main problems with this topic. 1. environmental pollution       a. Our island is surrounded by coral reefs, so farmed fish will hurt them.       b. Farmed fish adversely affect natural fish. (e.g. making food from natural fish). 2. overfishing probl

Discussion2 : To shut down outward and inward traffic to Appollon due to the Global Pandemic

 Pepper Gruber : Against She is an actress. She is opposed to shutting down the country for fear of losing her source of income as she has jobs abroad. She agreed with the idea of putting restrictions on the country, not shutting it down completely but when it turned out that the restrictions didn't include tourists, she changed her mind again to disagreeing with the idea. Gon Auden : Against  He is the owner of the bar. Most of the bar's customers are tourists, and closing down the country would make it difficult for him to operate. Therefore, he is against closing the country. He also suggested that instead of shutting down the country completely, he would put restrictions on it and make sure that masks are worn, acrylic plates and disinfection are used to prevent the virus. Anna Plowman : M Sora Swift : For  She is a hairdresser. Since most of the customers who come to her hairdressing salon are island residents, closing down the country will have little impact on them. She
