Project question
How the illusion of a ‘centrist’ government can unite a population, especially in times of adversity, namely warfare, climate disasters and health crises.
Our project
The overview of our product is reimagining the centrist ideology to our beliefs, and instead of creating a middle ground between ‘Left’ and ‘Right’, we have both politically ‘left; stances and politically ‘right’ stances, which cancel out one another. The question we have posed as a group is: “How the illusion of a ‘centrist’ government can unite a population, especially in times of adversity, namely warfare, climate disasters and health crises.” We answered this question as we used the stance that the majority believe in, and added our own beliefs on it on how it can unite a population. We believe that everyone has both political ‘left’ and ‘right’ stances within, and therefore, “What is the point of having opposing sides, if we all have both inside us?”. Our product is a speech pushing this, and posters with our stance on them.
This project was completed over the course of six or so weeks. We endeavoured to answer our proposed question: How the illusion of a ‘centrist’ government would emerge, and its effectiveness to unite a population especially in times of adversity, namely warfare, climate disasters and health crises? Our group began with initial research on the characteristics of each side of the political spectrum. Such became incorporated into our differentiation of the Left and Right, resulting in our calculation of our ideology’s ‘stances’. To ensure the final product was entertaining and interactive, a video/slide presentation was created. An empathetic and straightforward introduction was presented to provide context for our proposals. Such was followed by our stances and sentiments. We also initiated a teen consultation program to involve our youths in day-to-day affairs concerning the nation. The project was wrapped off with a conclusion.
