*Examples provided by the teacher before dividing groups and doing the activity.

First round - Imagine you had to make the following real difficult decisions from history. Choose
two and tell your partners what you would have decided. Why? Do they agree with your decision?

• Drop the atom bomb on Japan, or launch an invasion.

• Put suspected Al Qaeda terrorists in Guantanamo Bay and so give radical groups worldwide a
rallying point, or risk them being released by the courts to commit terrorist acts again.

• Permit torture against suspected terrorists and so increase anti-American feeling, or risk not
knowing about an attack until too late.
  Sign the peace treaty with the guerrilla FARC or continue using and strengthening military
forces to defeat them.

 Carry out operation Jaque to liberate 15 people who have been kidnapped for more than
10 years by FARC or continue using dialogue to negotiate their liberation.

 Put the country in a long confinement to fight Coronavirus or take some less restricted
measures to protect the economy of the country.

Second round - Do you know what the real decisions were? Were any of your decisions different?
What do you think might have happened if the opposite decisions were taken?
