This Ted Talk made us think of many Civic Mirror countries and the political problems they experienced as well – can democracy exist without trust? While just a simulation, the number of CM fascist coups in 2011/12 was record breaking. Was a lack of trust always at the core of democratic breakdown? What could prevent this? Check out the video, very powerful.
What People are Saying
The Civic Mirror simulation was quite possibly the most interesting educational activity that I’ve ever participated in. The trading, the real-life situations, the things that we accomplished, the arguments that we had and the conflicts we resolved. I feel this simulation really mirrors the world.
