statement of the topic
Where will we construct a garbage dump?

introduction of panel members and their intitialposition
Mai(55): a college professor who lives in the urban area
Riho(68): a farmer in the surburb area
Taiga(60): the president of a jewelry store, Rosian
Iku(42):a Chinese manager of the factory
Chiaki:a college student who lives in the urban area

important points of the discussion as I see it
The disposal limit of the present garbage dump is not enough because of the appearance of the factory, so we need a new garbage dump. However, it has some demelits for the construction area to built it. That's why we should consider the place of the new garbage dump and how we suport people who live there.

what the outcome was
When we have the garbage dump in the urban area, some pollution would happen and it costs too much, so we decide to consstruct it in the urban area. Additionally, we insure people who must moved out.

my personal opinion
I wonder that why the factory was construced in urban area because it also causes pollution. And it's cler that we will be need to have a new garbage dump for the factory. If we construct the garbage dump in surburb are, we must carry a lot of garbage from the factory to there, it doesn't effectable. That's why I think that we construct the new garbage dump in the surburb area and move the factory to near the garbage dump is good way to solve this problem.

how effective the discussion was
Every member have their own opinion as their each social position.

how it could have been better
They have two moderators and the moderators have thier opinion, so we confused and the discussion was not fare. Moreover, we couldn't understand the position of each member and the situation of this city, so they should explain about them with civility.

important points of the discussion as I see it

The strong points of this city is primary industry, so it's important to make an appeal to young people the charm of that.

Many young people aren't intarested in the primary industry, so giving them some chances to attend to agriculture is a good way to attract them. For example, they held a thanks-giving party, and then let yong people experimence easy farm work like cow milking and making butter.

statement of the topic
What should we do to activate the shopping street in our town?

introduction of panel members and their intitialposition
Mariko:37 years old, a clothing shop clerk, married woman
Sakiko: years old, a liquor store clerk
Chihiro:28 years old, a candy shop clerk, She likes flower arrangement.
Yosaku:54 years old, a South Korean, He runs a fruit and vegetable shop.
Atsushi:Taiwanese, He runs a noodle shop.

important points of the discussion as I see it
Some large shopping mall opened in our town, with the result that the shopping street ran-down. That's why, we should consider what is our strong points to attract customers.

what the outcome was
They decided to held a summer festival.

my personal opinion
I think it's better to held some events more frequently. Even if we held a summer festival, customers would use the shopping strret only the day of festival. But we shold gather customers continually, so we should take advantages of ourselves to enrich the service. For example, Chihiro's hobby is flower arrengement and she runs candy shop, so childen may be attracted when she decorates her shop with some flowers. I think that it's important to provide a better atmosphere.

how effective the discussion was
Every member talks their own opinion positively, so we could hear the difference views.

how it could have been better
All members of this discussion are work at their shop in the shopping street, so people who live in outside the street to listen to broad range of opinions.
Additionaly, they should take advantages of theirselves to solve the probrem, or it has no meaning that a diversity of people take part in this discussion.
