The reading this week was very stimulating. It was interesting to imagine how people would react in the face of the end of the world. In the materials that we studied, it was shown how such a scenario could bring out both the best and worst in people. Some people would simply want to savor the hours , or moments that they have left, they would want to spend the time with loved ones, or participate in activities that they had enjoyed in their lives. Others might want to try t fight for survival at any cost, paying no mind to any harm being done to other people and looking out for themselves first and foremost. One scenario ended with a brush with apocalypse that was ultimately diverted. The people who survived were faced with the enormous task of rebuiling and recreated society. Some of those were remiss that they did not simply face the end, but the beginning of a task for multiple generations.
