Here are some things I thought about after the simulation discussion:
1. If each group was told which country they were representing BEFORE the simulation started, would the entire course of action of the simulation have been altered? Because we've learned the roles each country played in World War 1 in MEHAP/CWI, there may have been a bias as to what each country could do that extended past the limits of its military resources and economic units. Before the first round started, did anyone else suspect that this simulation was supposed to model World War 1?
2. If the moderator added an new factor that measured the quality of human life, would that have changed the outcome of the simulation? I believe that the power level and citizens' level of satisfaction were very important factors that definitely contributed to the countries' actions. However, we could consider if it would have even been necessary to have the "quality of life" factor in the first place.
