The above exercise was given to us to do individually and also as a group.

My group refused to do it as we saw it as discrimation and misuse of power.

Our Reason

What gives us the power to decide who live and who dies and picking will mean we are been discriminating against others so we decided all lives are equal and we didnt go ahead with the exercise.

Feedback

Our team leader said we missed an opportunity as a team to communicate, deal with difficult situations and reach a positive conclusion as life is full of difficult decisions. And as a social worker we are going to be making very difficult decisions all the time and we can’t just say we are not doing it.
