- How are we more aware that the world is much larger and more diverse than the community in which we live in at GISA?  “I used to think… but now I think…”

- How do poverty and wealth afford people different options and choices?

- When you were choosing what to buy, did you think about the environmental, economic, social, and wellbeing impacts? Why or why not?

- Regardless, how does economic status & personal choices have consequences on the sustainability of the environment & society? Reflect based on your experience in the simulation and in your own life.
