雅典娜对德墨忒尔 | Athena vs Demeter
在本周的讨论中，学生将探索在资源分配和长期战略之间找到平衡的重要性。通过古希腊神话的背景，他们需要在满足基本需求的德墨忒尔路径和追求长期目标的雅典娜路径之间进行抉择。虽然情境设定在2000年前，但决策背后的核心冲突与现代生活息息相关，鼓励学生思考如何在自己的生活中应用这些原则。
In this week’s discussion, students will explore the importance of balancing resource allocation with long-term strategy. Using the backdrop of Greek mythology, they’ll decide between the Demeter path, focusing on basic needs, and the Athena path, focusing on long-term goals. While the scenarios are set 2,000 years ago, the underlying conflicts are deeply relevant to modern life, encouraging students to reflect on how to apply these principles in their own lives.
