@jamesgray78 and anyone else who thinks that shooting a video in a class that only contains white students makes that video racist and the director responsible for an unfortunate colonial history... are you insane?! I'd suggest that the fact you noticed is more interesting...

Since the only person in the room here at the moment is me, and I'm "white", is this a racist room? I hope not. I like the carpet.

i wish there was something like that here in the DFW area, i'd totally do it!! i don't think it's thought about that much by people in my generation ... the fact that someday we will be responsible for running the world. but i guess the boomers didnt think about it much when they were in their early 20s either!!! kudos on the videos... im absolutly subscribed!!!

@tdous That guy is only angry because he and every other black person on this Earth doesn't know what education is..

The best (only) way to gain and maintain power throughout history has been to massacre or remove from power the ruling class, and then create a new one by giving it a large portion of the old one's influence/resources. Also, use a small portion of those resources to bribe the masses.

If you are not willing or able to do this you will be replaced by those who are. The media and networking revolution has simply forced those in power to be more creative and technical, but the ends remain the same.

this simulation is also designed to have students compress great power world events into conceptual units which are simple and elegant,

it's a brilliant way to teach about empire, conquest, and the great game of power,

[666fruitfly]

the whole point of a simulation is to assess performance and adjust what doesn't work,

my solution is to make every kid live abroad for a year,

world fucking peace overnight!

it's not rocket science,

it's a matter of imagination and will,

I'm afraid if kids can't get it right in a simulation, then they will not be able to do it in reality. the other bothersome thing was that in another video on this site, it was found that kids look for administrative solutions to problems, not creative or critical ways of solving problems. I'm afraid of the future. It will be more of the same, until we cease to exist

balance and focus

[DrNate89]

Yeah, then it will be Pakistan. (watch the 1st presidential debate again, I realize you posted that before the debates)

[magicprofesur]

there is a balance on everything and with balance their comes opposite

and if there is an opposite then they're is another side of this wonderous planet we are depleting but why show the bad parts of it

enjoy whats left, we must accept it, live with what we have created, and love it for its all thats left

there their they're
