本周，Synthesis 将带领学生们通过 Polis 游戏探索早期决策的艺术，以及在面对多条同样崇高的光明坦途间如何择优而行。学生们将在实践中学习多步骤决策和权衡的技能，同时在讨论环节中深入探讨如何在正确与正确之间做出艰难的抉择。
This week, Synthesis guides students through the art of early decision-making in the game Polis, exploring how to choose between multiple noble paths. Students will practice multi-step decision-making and trade-off skills, while also diving into discussions on how to make tough choices between equally good and ethical options.

城邦 | Polis
“城邦” 是一款关于早期决策的游戏：是向左、向右还是居中建造？是分开行动还是团结一致？是早早下定决心还是后期再做调整？就像生活中的许多决定一样，并不总是存在“对与错”——有时有两条同样高尚的道路、两个同样可行的选择。这不仅仅体现在 Polis 游戏中。本周的“组合”更新为学生们提供了一款新游戏，一款超越其他游戏的游戏。通过构建自己的组合、精心策划他们的成就并获得推荐，学生们的决策将更专注于最重要的地方：他们的个人成长。
Polis is a game of early decisions: whether to build left, right, or center; whether to split up or stick together; whether to commit early or adapt later. And just like many of life’s decisions, there is not always a “right and wrong” — sometimes, there are two noble paths, two equally viable options. That’s not just in Polis, either. With the new “portfolio” update this week, students have a new game to play, a game above the other games. By building up their portfolio, curating their achievements, and earning endorsements, your student’s decisions will be focused where they matter most: on their individual growth.

择优而行 | Right of Way
当一个选择是坏的、错误的或不道德的时候，做决定要容易得多。当两个选择都是好的、正确的和道德的时候，决策就会困难得多。在这种情况下，我们如何在两条崇高的光明坦途间择优而行？哪条道路拥有优先权？无论是诚实与忠诚、隐私与安全，还是正义与宽恕，这次讨论肯定会引发多种多样的观点——这正是重点。这里没有对错之分，只有来自世界各地孩子们之间的有趣对话。
Making decisions is easier when one option is bad, or wrong, or unethical. It’s much harder when both options are good, and right, and ethical. In that case, how do we decide between two noble paths? Which gets the right of way? Whether it’s honesty vs. loyalty, privacy vs. safety, or justice vs. mercy, this discussion is certain to surface a variety of diverse opinions — and that’s the point. No right or wrong answers here, just interesting conversations with kids from around the world.
