Peak Oil - Topic Focus



During the lesson, we discussed on our topic focus for peak oil. We were all very intrigued by the aftermath of peak oil. So we finally came up with "What were to happen if oil ran out today?" which was basically a worst-case scenario. We were all interested in different aspects of it. I was particularly interested in the social element of individuals. What would individuals do to survive? Would it lead to riots and wars possibly? Jia Yi was interested in transportation, Jacelyn wanted to focus on the energy aspect and also the governments' actions, while Mia liked the concept of immigration.


We then had to decide on what our final product would be. We had trouble with this because we thought that our individual focuses were so different. However, we later realised that our focuses actually linked, so we paired up to work more efficiently. I was paired up with Jacelyn to explore the social impacts on the governments and the people. We will slowly work towards a final product.
