statement of the topic
How to care of homeless people?

introduction of panel members and their intitialposition
Kyoka(50): she had been homeless for 10 years.
Reiko(40):a officerof local college
Hikari(52):she became homeless 6 months ago
Asuka(17):a high school student, some homeless people live near her house and she is annoying

important points of the discussion as I see it
In this city the number of homeless people are increasing uniquely. However, there are not enough employment offers.

what the outcome was
They build temporaly house for homeless people and reduce their aids.

my personal opinion
When homeless people give their house, they would stop finding their job, so I think it is better to support their job.

how effective the discussion was
The audiences joined the discussion because the topic was difficult.

how it could have been better
This topic was too difficult and the important panel member didn't have enough preparation, I thought. She should have take serious effort, if not, it makes the discussion more hardly.

statement of the topic
Will we continue the temple?

introduction of panel members and their intitialposition
Yosaku(53): a chief priest of his temple
Atsushi(25): a college student, he likes to visit temples all over the world
Chihiro(35): the president of the department store
Sakiko(17): a high school student

important points of the discussion as I see it
Our town had dameged only Yosaku's temple by an earthquacke. However the temple has many historical significance and visiters.

what the outcome was
Yosaku didn't agree with broking down his temple and built a department store, and Chihiro gave up her plan. That's why we leave Yosaku's temple.

my personal opinion
The temple has historical significance, if we broke it, we never recover the precious property. In the other hand, a department store bring finacial benefit in our city. I think we should not weigh the each value. So I agree with leave Yosaku's temple.

how effective the discussion was
All of the members state their own opinion and ask some questions activery, and the moderator did her job well.

how it could have been better
Their typical establishment was poor I think. They should decide the topic we will discuss more carefully.

statement of the topic
How we use our budget?

introduction of panel members and their intitialposition
Riho: a university student
Taiga(45): a history teacher in a high school
Iku(42):a worker in the old library
Chiaki:a programer

important points of the discussion as I see it
Our budget is 100 million yen, so it is not enough to built the new library. The old library has been buit 50 years and we need to repair it.

what the outcome was
There is an unused facility in the city, so we share the budget to use the facility to constract new libraly and improve the old one.

my personal opinion
I didn't know how often the buses run between the city and the old library. If the number of the bus was not so less, it doesn't seem worthwhile to increase it. Additionaly, I couldn't understand why they wouldn't break downthe old library. I think it is better to move the old one to the unused facility and prepare the book delivery system with the local school.

how effective the discussion was
They had more background as compared with the last time.

how it could have been better
Once again, the moderater had her own opinion, however, she shouldn't have her own opinion. And there is not enough basic information.
