Ask the class to discuss solutions to an issue that plagues contemporary society at large or just your community for example, homelessness, violence, environmental degradation, hunger.
Half the class should mention idealistic solutions to the chosen issue; the Other half should mention only realistic approaches to solving the problem.
See if, in listening to both sides, someone can come up with a proposal that is both realistic and unconventional an idea that hasn’t been tried yet.
Answer:
Homelessness – Idealistic Solutions
Student No. 1 :
A permanent and sustainable end to homelessness requires four essential components.
1. Housing is the essential foundation to ending homelessness.
2. Housing is essential, but it is not sufficient. Housing alone, without attention to health, behavioural health, employment and education will continue to result in instability and recurrent homelessness for many people.
Student No. 2 :
1. A key to an apartment is great. But we have to stay connected with the society. Staying lonely in an apartment is not advisable.
2.People should be aware of new home loan plans and housing
Student No. 3 :
Proposal that is both realistic and unconventional:
We can end the homelessness crisis by stabilizing people through shelter, moving them into permanent housing and implementing assistance programs to keep them in their housing. Only then we can reduce and eliminate homelessness in India.
