My Experience with "Bullets and Ballots"
The Guatemalan Government worked with the Army & Wealthy to gain power, but they ended up switching and going against The Guatemalan Government. The Guatemalan Government combined social groups with the Peasants, whilst making treaties with the United States Government and Guerrillas. The United States Government decided to hand the power over to The Guatemalan Government.
Connection to My Life
My Real Life
This simulation has taught me how ruthless people can be for power. I felt like I was looked at as just a person to have an alliance with. People are very ruthless when it comes to getting what they want.
Furthermore it made me think of times like kindergarten. One kid had the 64 pack of crayons and suddenly everyone wanted to be his friend to get his crayons.
