Tariq, Fiona, and Kofi are debating whether to attend a local town hall meeting to protest against a proposed housing development on a nearby greenbelt site.
Tariq says: "There is no point in us going. The developers have already bribed the council, and with my usual bad luck, it will rain anyway so we won't make any difference."
Fiona says: "That is completely wrong. If we organize our arguments, present our environmental impact data clearly, and stay persistent, we can stop this. The outcome is entirely down to our own effort and preparation."
Kofi says: "I will only go and protest if you both do. If you two decide to stay at home, I will stay at home too so I don't cause a scene on my own."
