Simulations involve people, put them in others' shoes, feeling global interdependence:

Starvation or Survival has four settings: Central America, Asia, Latin America, Africa or Women and Development in Africa. This activity is done in groups, each representing a rural subsistence village. Weather is determined by the throw of a die. Local and global impact cards give each village (and sometimes all the villages) one reality at a time. This ranges from crop pests to World Bank and the debt crisis. Malnutrition can lead to disease. The third year the villages have choice cards which are real choices that subsistence farmers have made in poor countries. These ususally lead to positive outcomes. People remember this experience for years.

• Time needed: 90 minutes can take you through the first and third year.
• Responses after the first and third year to ″how do you feel and what would you do″ differ remarkably.
• Who would enjoy: fifth grade – adults.
• $25 cost.
