 * Goal || Your task is to rally your co-interns to your cause using the techniques used by the founding fathers and together present your grievances to your boss. Or persuade the rebels that there is no need to revolt and to step back in line. ||
 * Role || You are an intern who worships John Locke or Jacques-Benigne Bossuet, with a boss who is George III reincarnated, with Donald Trump's awful comb over. ||
 * Audience || You need to convince first your co- interns and then your boss. Or you need to calm the waters at the office and put the revolutionaries back in line. ||
 * Setting || You must pick a side. Are you a Tory? Do you think your boss knows what is best and has the authority to make the decisions he does. Or are you a Rebel? The challenge is to convince your co-inters or the other employees to join your cause. Then arrive at the boardroom to make your case. ||
 * Presentation || You will create a pamphlet to convince your fellow interns that confronting your boss is the "common sense" thing to do. You will present this pamphlet to your co-interns and share with them why John Locke is the man. Then you and your co- interns will collaborate to form a list of grievances. You will record yourselves presenting and "declaring your independence" of your boss's tyranny using imovie. Or you will create a pamphlet to calm the waters at the office and reassure the other interns that this is the way things have always been. Then under a special commission from your boss, you create an imovie to persuade the revolutionaries not to revolt. ||

=Introduction= YOU DID IT!!! Finally after all that work, the essay, the application, the references, and the interview: you got the internship! You are so stoked you can not even sit down. After you've called your mom, your best friend, your girlfriend or boyfriend, and told your dog all about it, you pack up to head to your first day. Sitting on the plane you are so excited that you tell the person sitting next to you of your internship. The other person just kind of laughs. Taken aback and a little outraged, you ask why are they laughing. They tell you to have fun with your boss because every other major company has heard of him. You settle back into your seat, refusing to even acknowledge that person, and convince yourself that it still is the opportunity of a lifetime. However, what that person said stews in the back of your mind for the rest of your trip.

=Task= You have been accepted into the internship of your dreams (choose a company). You show up the first day and meet your boss. Unfortunately for you, he is George III reincarnated with Donald Trump's awful comb over. As bad as this sounds, this is even worse for you because your idol is John Locke. You immediately decide that things need to change for the better. Keep in mind what the founding fathers used for strategies and how they persuaded the masses to follow them. You decide to create a pamphlet to secretly pass around to your co-interns to convince them to help you. Some how that pamphlet lands onto the desk of your boss. He demands an explanation from you in the boardroom outside his office on Monday. Fortunately your co-interns hear about your circumstances and rally to your aid. You are now a leader of this revolution and the group looks to you for direction. Together you draft a list of grievances to "declare yourselves independent" of his tyranny. You show up on Monday, declaration in hand, with your co-interns to convince your boss. Apparently he has been called away on urgent business. So you decide to film your argument and send it to him. Your internship rests in his hands and the faith of your co-interns rests in yours. Don't let yourself or your co-interns down. Good luck.

Or... You have been accepted into the internship of your dreams (choose a company). You show up the first day and meet your boss, he is George III reincarnated with Donald Trump's awful comb over. This is fine for you because your idol is Jacques-Benigne Bossuet. In the break room one day you see a pamphlet slandering your boss. Immediately you bring it to him. He asks you to write your own pamphlet to counteract the damage. Sunday night, your boss calls you and says that he's been called out of town on urgent business. He asks you to put together a presentation that will put those rebels in their place. You call up a few employees that have worked for the boss for several years to help you. Unfortunately those employees are working on a project on monday and can not help you. To allievate the problem you ask them to help you create an imovie. After staying up all night you walk into the board room around noon on monday to show your movie. You catch the rebels just as they are leaving the board room. So... get ready to present, good luck.

=Conclusion= Congratulations! Your presentation went over wonderfully. Already, plans are being made to draft rules and rights that can not be broken. You have successfully convinced your boss or you have calmed the waters so that your boss still has his job. Change will take place but King George will still keep his job. It is amazing that change can happen without complete overhaul of the authorities in place. Too bad things did not work out this way in the American Revolution, but then would we still belong to Britain or would we end up being free like Canada?
