The overall overthrow of the oil rig in the Artic Circle was a tricky situation. If I could redo this scenario I would to make better choices. Myself as the Ambassador had 8 days to make challenging decisions that affected everyone. Throughout this scenario I took the time to read the opinion of each advisor. I will be addressing the ideologies of each advisor and how their choice could have played a part in this situation. I will also be reflecting on the bad choices that I made. Furthermore, the first advisor was a lady from The U.S. Ambassador she seems to associate herself with the liberalism ideology as well as being part of the democracy government.

In my opinion he seems to fit into all three categories. According to Unit 3, “A NATION IS A GROUP of people who feel a sense of community and want to be separate and self-governing.

That statement could indicate that he may be an Anarchism as well. Which in my words meaning not having authority/government. The Brazilian Ambassador also associates herself with being a conservative as mentioned above. She states that “We stand to gain a great deal of money if we can prolong the ordeal. If the rig was one of ours, I might have a change of heart, but it’s not” (Brazilian Ambassador). Her wishes are that this ordeal
