Today's class - Debate

Today in class we had a debate on our seating arrangements. At first, we were assigned seats and some people didn't like the idea too much. Personally, I didn't care because it really is only a seat for one class. Other people had different opinions on the whole predicament. Some people agreed with me and didn't care as much. Some people really hated their seats and pretty much demanded to be allowed to move. We kinda handled the problem like the Greeks did whenever they were in the agora and had different opinions. A few people came up the the podium and gave a speech of their reasons and opinions to the seating arrangements. One person came up and said that we should be able to change seats because we would be more comfortable and have people to talk to more rather than people we didn't know. In my opinion, I like meeting new people and getting to know them. It's nice to because you might share the same interests. Sometimes people don't feel that it's as easy because they don't know what to talk about with people they barely know. They feel there isn't an icebreaker they can think of. I do understand that because I have been in the same position before. Change is going to happen though, and it's great. After we had some speeches given, the whole class took a vote. Half the class voted to change seats, the other half simply didn't care or they liked their seat. In the end, we did all change seats and everybody seemed happy.
