Group Exercise: The Fallout Shelter



Group Logic Exercise: The Fallout Shelter

Your group of eight has been selected to start the new world after 99.5% of the world's population has died of radiation poisoning. You have been in the fallout shelter for two months. You have to stay in the shelter for another four months before it is safe to come out – but the food and water has been going faster than expected. Now, you realize that there is only enough food and water left for four people for the remaining four months. Therefore, half the people in the shelter will have to leave in order to save the rest (and mankind).

Pretend you are among this group and must decide who should stay and who must go. State and support at least three specific reasons for each member as to why he/she should either stay or go.

You are encouraged to compromise, but feel free to disagree along the way. However, one way or another you must reach a decision as to which four are going to stay and which four are going to go.

The following people are in the fallout shelter:

1. Dixie: A pregnant 16-year-old white girl, high school dropout

2. Ricardo: A 25-year-old Hispanic Catholic Priest; before becoming a priest, he was a professional carpenter for 5 years

3. Kim: A 32-year-old Asian female doctor (general practitioner), unable to conceive

4. Charlie: A 53-year-old Black male military man, recently retired from the army

5. Jake: A 26-year-old aspiring white male guitar player; served five years in prison for fraud when he ran a con game to get some quick money

6. Eve: A 28-year-old white former prostitute; "retired" for 4 years; high school graduate; I.Q 140

7. Hugh: A 38-year-old Native American male engineer, confined to a wheelchair, but still able to father children

8. Lisa: A 39 year-old Black female science teacher
