SAMPLE APPLICATIONS OF DE
BONO THINKING TOOLS WITHIN
Personal & social development
Simon starts to threaten younger students and
to take their pocket money. Whoever
offers resistance is beaten up. Everybody is scared and nobody dares to tell.
When Paul , a friend of Simon’s, sees this, he tries to convince him to stop. When
he fails he tells the headmaster. Simon is suspended from school for a week. Do
an O.P.V. - (1) make a list of the people involved (2) write down what they
would think or say in their own words.
| PEOPLE |
VIEWS |
| SIMON |
I didn't think that Paul
would tell on me. I thought he was my friend. |
| PAUL |
I wish that I could have
avoided this but Simon left me no alternative |
| HEADMASTER |
Hopefully this punishment
will serve as a deterrent . |
| BULLIED CHILDREN |
After this week is up, we
hope that Simon does not return to his old ways. |
| PARENTS OF BULLIED CHILDREN |
We must teach our children
to stick together and to stand up for their rights |
| TEACHERS |
We must keep our eyes open
because the bullied rarely tell because they are scared. |
| PAUL AND SIMON'S CLASSMATES |
Being loyal to a friend is
a positive quality but justice is more important. |
