Dictionary.com defines Drama as, "any situation or series of events having vivid, emotional, conflicting, or striking interest or results."
When I think of Drama in a class it think of it being about two people who know each other or a group of people who do not like the other group of people. Instead with Simulations the competitive nature of the class can bring about drama between different groups or corporations. Cycle 1 contained no drama at all as we were all trying to figure out what was going on and were not so worried about all of the little details. As cycle 2 began so did the drama. The GCB was sitting in the lounge area just discussing what was going to be happening with the trade fair and the order of the CM speeches when A.J. ,our professor, walked in and said "did you hear about the drama yet?" My first thought was ohh nooo I really wanted this whole semester to go without any drama just as last cycle did but we obviously could not get that lucky. There was one corporation who felt as though another corporation was trying to listen in on their ideas. They asked to go first when presenting so we as the GCB allowed them to do that but also told the corporation that was worried that whoever has the better presentation and show a better understand of what they are going to sell will receive their first choice. This drama then faded out because they got their first choice and the corporation that was apparently listening in received their second choice.
Other drama that is going on right now is the dress code policy. We started off with the rules of no old navy gross flip flops, no shorts, no Capris. As many of the community members began to come to class in shorts and capris we decided we were going to be more lenient. So we, the GCB, announced to the class that they were allowed to wear shorts and capri as long as they looked nice and did not look like they just rolled out of bed. We never dressed the gross flip flops that some people wore because it was not a reoccurring trend. As the GCB we are supposed to be an example to all of the other corporations and community member as to the dress code policy. This is where a problem came in Sarah who is on the GCB did not follow any of the dress code rules one day to class and explained herself as I stay over at someones house so I did not have my own clothes. This is not acceptable because no one else is allowed to just wear their pajamas no matter where they sleep. It was embarrassing to have her show up to class like that and I hope it reflects in her grade and not our over all group.
As the cycle isn't over yet I am sure there will be much more drama to come.
