As a group we simulated a radio show on the topic of self-immolation in Tibet. The conversations in the following link by no means represents how any of the group members feel. Any similarities between these characters and any real person are purely coincidence. Below is the link to the audio along with the script of the conversation.

Conversation script:​



​Connor: Hello Listeners and thank you for tuning into our show today brought to you straight from the basement of complex. Today we will be discussing the horrifying topic of Self-immolation. We're gonna open up our lines now to callers... Alright we have our first caller, hello Alec, what do you have to say on the topic of self-immolation in Tibet?

​

Alec: Hey, thanks for having me, I find the act of self immolation an interesting one. The reason behind these acts is to protest the Chinese hold in the Tibetan region. These people feel that the only way their voice will be heard is to kill themselves in a public manner. That have no hope for them or their people and would rather sacrifice themselves than live under constant oppression. The outside world cannot help them and they see this as the only way. All the want is their freedom, and they are willing to pay the ultimate price.



Connor:  Wow, that was inciteful. Thanks for calling in. I really like how it seems like you are able to put yourself in their shoes. Lets go to our next caller, Cory, how do you feel about the conflict going on?

​

Cory: Well first off I would just like to say that I really enjoy your talks Mr. Brausen, they are damn near the highlight of my week. Personally I just say "Fuck 'em" Who gives a shit. Those dumbasses are lightin' themselves on fire and want me to feel bad? Grow up Nancy!



Connor: Well that was an interesting call... I guess we are all entitled to our opinions. We have time for one last caller. The lines are still open. Okay we have one last caller. Jack, are you there?

​

Jack:​ Yup, I'm here.



Connor:​ Jack how do you feel about the conversation we have been having today on our radio show?



​Jack:​  I feel that the Tibetans are taking matters to an extreme measure by self-immolating. The Chinese rule over them cannot be bad enough for them to take their own lives. Some of the Tibetans that are doing this have young children. I feel that their acts are selfish because they are not considering how this affects their own families’ lives. China has done nothing but increase the economy of Tibet. Tibetans are being cowards because instead of taking their problems to a political battle, they are resorting to taking their own lives and having the media fight their battle for them.



​Connor:​ Thanks Jack, I think that all of you guys have raised some valid points but I think that it is important to note that the best way to understand the subject is to stay informed and form your own opinions by looking through the bias of any individual source. Well that's all the time that we have for today. Thanks for tuning in to Connor Brausen's radio show.
