ASP Assignment

In the last class, we talked about what the most important thing is if we get lost in the desert because of plane’s crash. The way of survive is that go to mine which is 70 miles away or go back to the flight plan which is 65 miles away. First, I made ranking of the importance of items by myself. In my expectation, the most important item was water, and next was overcoat, then third was book entitled Edible Animals of the Desert. And I thought that cosmetic mirror was the most useless. Next, we had group discussion and made new ranking. In my group, we thought that the most important item was water, next was salt tablets and third was map of the crash area. And in the group, cosmetic mirror was at last place again. Finally, we listened to the ranking which was made by professional of survival. In this ranking, the most important item was cosmetic mirror. I was very surprised to hear that. According the professional, mirror is useful to ask help because it reflects sunlight and it can be a sigh. My score was 79 and my group’s score was 84. I thought I might not be able to survive in desert. I have to learn something about survival when I board airplane.
