As a merchant/ entrepeneur I was very satisfied with the outcome because we were asking for a lot and we got about half to agree. Although I feel that many did not understand that we wer not asking for the government to control businesses, but rather have the right to step in to preserve balance in the economy. Telling people to trust their government, especially in a time like this, may not go over well with the people, so being able to get the support of as many as we did tells me we had a strong case and good arguments. In addition, we gained the support of all the farmers. This is important to us because famers are often against the revolution because factories can take over their land and imports can run them out of business because they can not sell their local stuff for as cheap as all the imports. If they support us I feel moving forward with the revolution may become easier, benefitting me and my class. This simulation has showed me how different classes from different. countries reacted and felt about the revolution. Also and perhaps most significant, I learned about the revolution from all angles and all perspectives so I know know what really happened, not just an overview from a certain bias.
I like this simulation because I am learning on my own. What I learn does not depend on what notes I take, what is taught to me, but rather what comes up in the work I do. Also, I like the freedom and choice of things to do for different assignments especially the Mastery Project. It allows us to work to our strenghts which I feel should alsways be allowed in big projects like this. Lastly, I learned that my social class did not treat lower classes as well as they should have especially the workers who had terrible conditions. They did what they had to do, which for their success, was key. I also learned that my country was slow to change compared to Britain and had many more things holding it back, specifically Confucianism thinking even though those times had passed. Overall, this simulation has taught me a lot including how people interacted back then, giving me perspectives on the revolution i would never have known otherwise.
