discussionB3

<statement of the topic> 
How to pay attention to homeless people? This city has more homeless people than other cities and there are few opportunities in this city. The city hasn't grasp the number of homeless people yet. This city decided to give them 12000 a month. However, people who depend on the money and don't work increased.

<introduction of panel members and their initial position>
Reiko: She is 40 and a officer of the local government. She agree that the government give homeless poeple 12000 a month.
Asuka: She is 19 years old. She cares about neighbor's homeless people daily.
Hikari: She is 52 years old. She divorced with her husband and doesn't have a child. She worked at a factory, but went homeless six month ago.
Kyoka: She is 50 years old. Her workplace went bankrupt when she was 40 years old, but she started new life. 

<important points of the discussion as I see it>
Homeless people can't work without an adress and it is very hard for them to live with only 12000 yen a month. They want more money, but the loval government can't give more 12000 because there are some people who depend on the money and don't work. In the result, the local government needs to think about giving homelass people an adress at first. So, panel members should have discussed this point more and more.

<what the outcome was>
The panel members decided to ask budget committee to increase budget for homeless people and give some companies money to build like a dormitory. And, homeless people learn skill for working.

<my personal opinion>
I thought it was a good way to make a NPO group for homeless people. The group provide homeless people with a vacant apartment and homeless people can start to work thanks to an adress. Then after getting enough money, homeless people return rent money which the NPO group payed for a few years to the group. And then, the NPO group pays attention to spending habits of homeless people so that they can handle money well.    

<how effective the discussion was>
This discussion required using our head very much, so I was very excited in a way. It was good to requre using our head to find some solutions. 

<how it could have been better>
If more panel members drive each idea, the discussion would be better. 

<why the panel members failed?>
I thought more panel member should have driven their ideas. And, some settings of this discussion confused that not only citizens but also panel members found several solutions.
