[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] [i]A friend of mine, a psychology major at Local Uni, was assigned an essay for class where she had to go & interview people on a question. It's interesting enough where I think it'd work well here. So. The question is:[/i] Imagine that our country is under threat of imminent nuclear attack. A person approaches you and asks you to make an independent decision concerning a nearby fallout shelter that can accommodate only 6 people, but which has 13 people trying to get in. Based on the following information about the 13 people, which 6 would you choose to go into the shelter? The group includes: [*]a 40yo male violinist who is a suspected drug dealer [*]a 34yo male architect who is thought to be gay [*]a 26yo lawyer and the lawyer's 24yo wife who has just gotten out of a mental institution--they both insist to go in the shelter together or stay out together [*]a 75yo priest [*]a 34yo retired prostitute who was so successful that she's been living off her savings for five years [*]a 20yo "militant" black activist [*]a 23yo graduate student who has had several bouts of depression throughout her life [*]a 28yo physicist who will only come into the shelter if he can bring his gun with him [*]a 30yo female medical doctor who is a proud white supremacist [*]a 12yo girl who has a low IQ [*]a male who has been deaf since birth [*]a 30yo Hispanic female who is a healthy triathlete and an avowed atheist Which six people should be allowed in the fallout shelter? What factors were most important to you in determining who should be protected in the shelter? Explain why those factors were most important. [/QB][/QUOTE]
