Jamshedji Nasarwanji Tata

As Jamshedji Nasarwanji Tata, an Indian of the entrepreneur class, I believe that the conference overall was a success, and most of the resolutions seemed reasonable. The resolution of the workers was reasonable to my character because although I have to pay money to hire cleaners for my factory, the working conditions inside the factory must be healthy. If you keep your workers happy, then there will never be a fear of a revolt, which would therefore result in the need to raise the workers wages because of the conditions that they work in. The resolution of the intellectuals/ religious figures did not affect my character at all, so they seemed reasonable as a resolution altogether. The only resolution that I any most of the other social classes completely rejected was that of the ruling elites. It was ridiculous to state that citizens need at least two years of military experience to vote. You could die for your country, and never get a chance to vote for your country. Overall, I was satisfied with the conference.

As myself, I believe the Industrial Simulation was interesting and worthwhile. While working in a group with other people of the same class form different countries around the world, you realize that these people are not that different from yourself. Many of the entrepreneurs had the same experiences, like my character, and the entrepreneur from China, both our factories were funded by our government, and we made a huge success economically due to the Industrial Revolution. I think the simulation happened as it should have, with debating between the right classes that did not think the resolutions would benefit them, and they proposed new ones for them. I think this simulation completely immersed you into the lives of your characters, and for a while, you became that character. Overall, I believe I learned more from a simulation of this type rather than lectures or taking tests from chapters of a textbook.
