Week 2 Majors and Minors
Students this week have been working on their thinking and negotiating skills in Business and Economics, International Relations and Philosophy. The Business and Economics class have been examining key economic concepts, such as division of labour, productivity and the invisible hand of the market. Students have been conducting trading games to explore the use of money in trade, and have gained an understanding of how markets function.
In Philosophy, students practised philosophy by engaging in moderated discussions and debates that have focused on the strengths and weaknesses of arguments. They have also been challenged to critique their own argumentation, and explored key topics such as scepticism, epistemology, metaphysics and dualism.
In International Relations, students have been undertaking a Model United Nations exercise, taking on the roles of various countries and using negotiation and diplomacy to try to avert a crisis. They have discussed the value and inherent dangers of forming alliances, and considered what future crises students of international relations will examine.
