Reflection of Suffering Ship Part 1
2 June 2014
The perspective that appealed to me most was of autonomy rather than equality. I believe that structure was a strong factor that helped prevent ciaos in part one of the surfing ship situation. I personally feel that the doctor by profession and the ship’s captain would be ideal leaders of this situation. Without a structure of leadership it would have only made a bad situation worst. A lot of times when people find themselves are in harm’s way they often seek guidance from someone in a higher more experienced position. Changing your perspective gives you better insight on other views and options that could help out. Doing this can support your process by giving you different viewpoints of what could possibly be important that might have been undermined or overlooked by a different set goal or viewpoint. This can be used as a valuable tool for understanding the situation in more ways than just one. “The treatment will only be effective if a full dose of medication is administered,” this was one of the assumptions I failed to recognize during this assignment. I mistakenly viewed this statement as a fact when I first read it. I felt that if someone was legitimately sick and chosen to receive one of the few treatments available, they should receive their full dosage to prevent their ailment from possibly killing them. I understand their supplies were very limited and not everybody would be able to receive treatment. If there was a system formed for who the most important recipients were going to be I believe they should at least get a full treatment.
