Third World Farmer Refletion

This is a game and or simulation that makes us think about strategies, daily lives of people in farms and challenges our way of thinking.
A tip for this game is to NOT think short term. It might be worth it for a short period of time, but it almost always have backfires. For example, if you dumped some garbage in front of your house for a few hundred dollars, your family will eventually get sick therefore making you pay more money. Selling your children, accepting army camps, showing off and even marriage might be danger to your profits and life.

The best kinds of strategies involve long term thinking. Saving up money, having secure water and food supply, having support suchas a voice or insurance. Long terms might not work immediately, but they do have better benefits and advantages. It is all mainly choices, making the right choice. Real farmers have to think about these things too. It might be easy for us to just take risks and say whatever to them. Imagine yourself being in a position where your family membbers were dying or you needed money badly.
In this thinking game, you really have to Think Creatively and Reason Critically. Taking too many risks dangers your chances while taking too little or no risks also dangers your chances of survival. Logic is what this game is about.
