I wasn't really sure how I felt about doing a five-day debate on oligarchy. First, I didn't think there was anything to say in favor of an oligarchic society, I was actually hoping to be assigned democracy. As my teammates and I started researching oligarchy, we actually found so many interesting things about oligarchies. We could actually defend our society and it was really exciting! I felt that I started favoring oligarchy so much more than before, and it was kind of weird to debate for an oligarchic society considering all the flaws it has.
Everytime I searched anything about an oligarchy it always pointed to Europe or the United States. There are many societies for example the Middle East, Renaissance Italy, WWII Germany that showed oligarchic societies. After the first three days oligarchy was in the lead, and I don't really know what happened but in the end we tied for third. I was disappointed because I thought my group and I did really well. However, it was a lot of fun debating the way we did and supporting societies in my case, we wouldn't otherwise favor.
