In Global issues class, we played the game, called 'Third World Farmer'. This game is a simulation game which you play as a farmer with your family and try to make money and achieve better goals in future in game.

There are many ways of getting money in this game, but they're divided into 2 groups. There are short terms planning like having to sell your children. Short term planning might be affective and good at first, but it soon made whole family sick or in poverty. There are long terms planning like having to educate your children. Long term planning might cost more money than short term planning, but later on, you will soon get rich and be successful with the game. One of SLR's that best fits to this game is reason critically, because as mentioned in this paragraph, you have to do every plan thinking of future and if it's good.

After playing this game, I learned how diffult is to get out of poverty and how important long term planning is.
