This week the 2016’s spent their class at the deliberative discussion regarding immigration in America. During the discussion, we broke into small groups and deliberated in the pros and cons of three takes on immigration. The three considerations were to welcome new arrivals, protect our borders, or to promote economic prosperity.
As our country of focus is Honduras, our class has delved into immigration issues many times. This discussion allowed us to use the knowledge we have gained as Pericleans and apply it. The deliberative dialogue helped us to express our own views and even form new opinions. We all felt that we gained even further education on the topic by hearing the varying points of view of the discussion members. As we considered the benefits and consequences of each consideration, we were exposed to solutions and approaches we had never thought of or didn’t even know were possible. Our class also enjoyed being able to share our ideas and have a platform where our class could discuss a difficult issue. Additionally, we were able to consider some ways that we may be active to bring about change in the current system- a goal all Pericleans share.
