Warwick 2b Presentation

We chose to make a presentation on ‘scenario’ as we thought that this term is worth discussing more from various points of view. When we did the mind map, we took the term in its first meaning as in films, and developed branches some of which are physical location, position, and embodiment- all equally necessary and applicable elements to other meanings of the term, including the type that we are going to focus on here: scenario in everyday life.

We have scenarios in daily life at interpersonal level as well as in broader contexts such as at the governmental and intergovernmental level. Governments sometimes make use of stories and use them in order to justify any of their enactments and policies, such as an invasion, a defeat, and a change in the constitution. In this sense, we question whether human beings are witnessing the same scenario throughout the history. Does history consist of repetitions which are indeed scenarios of the powerful?
