自然选举 | Natural Election

详情 | Details

自然选举是一款以谈判为重点的游戏。团队可以派遣“使者”到一个独立的房间去谈判获取关键信息。但问题是:如何知道这些信息是否可靠?因此,本周的课程将探讨诚实谈判(诚实、尊重、折衷)与恶意谈判(欺骗、自私、扭曲)之间的区别。但是这里有一个难题:这两种谈判都可能导致胜利。所以真正的问题是:你想成为一个怎样的团队?你想成为一个怎样的人?是否存在“坏胜利”和“好失败”?这些是你的学生可以在Synthesis的安全游戏场上思考的重大决策。
Natural Election is a game with a focus on negotiation. Teams can send “ambassadors” into a separate room to negotiate for information key to their strategy. But the question remains: how do they know they can trust the information you get? This week’s session, therefore, is about the difference between good faith negotiation (honesty, respect, compromise) and bad faith negotiation (deceit, selfishness, inflexibility). But here’s the conundrum: both types of negotiation can lead to a victory. So the real question is this: What kind of team do you want to be? What kind of person do you want to be? Are there “bad wins” and “good losses”? These are consequential decisions that your student can grapple with on the safe playing field of Synthesis.

劣胜优败 | Bad Wins & Good Losses

通常情况下,我们认为胜利是成功,失败是失败。然而,并非所有的胜利和失败都如此简单。通过不道德行为或糟糕表现取得的胜利被称为“坏胜利”(劣胜)。另一方面,即使最终结果不是胜利,但经历了宝贵的教训或个人成长,则被称为“好失败”(优败)。本周,学生们将讨论不同情况下如何导致“坏胜利”或“好失败”,权衡过程、诚信和从经验中学习的重要性。没有正确或错误的答案,只是与世界各地孩子们进行有趣的对话。
Typically, we think of winning as a success and losing as a failure. However, not all wins and losses are that straightforward. A “bad win” occurs when a victory is achieved through unethical behavior or poor performance. On the other hand, a “good loss” happens when the experience ends with valuable lessons or personal growth, even if the final outcome isn’t a win. This week, students discuss how different situations can lead to either a bad win or a good loss, weighing the importance of process, integrity, and learning from experiences. No right or wrong answers, just interesting conversation with kids from around the world.
