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.
