***The life experience is carefully planned to teach participants about discrimination and prejudice. Each participant is placed into one of three catagories, Royalty, People, or Peons. Throughout the morning each group was treated differently, causing frustration and anger by many students. A "de-briefing" helped participants understand the purpose of the activity and apply principles that will benefit them for the rest of their life.
