Majority Rule –
greatest number of
people makes the
choice for the group
No Structure –
decisions are made
with no specific
process, people make
individual decisions
“All successful community
change programs work
because of people’s
relationships with each
other.”

Train Track &
Children
This is not a slide
Jus a intro of a train track n children
It is a speech we hv to give
The story given here is Quite interesting
and really gives us a insight into
decision making
A group of children were playing near
two railway tracks, one still in use
other in disused. Only
one child played on
disused track, the rest on
the operational track
The train came, and you were just beside the
track interchange. It was not possible to stop
the train, but you could make the train change
it course to the disused track and saved most
of the children
However, that would also mean the lone child
playing with the disused would be sacrificed . Or
would you rather let train go its way ?

Lets take a pause to think what kind of decision we
could make……..
Most of the people might choose to divert the
course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. To
save most of the children at the cost of only one
child was rational decision most of the people
would make, morally and emotionally.
But have you ever thought the child choosing to
play on the disused track, had in fact made the
right decision to play at a safe place..?

Nevertheless , he had to be sacrificed
because of his ignorant friend who choose to
play where the danger was..
The kind of dilemma happens around us everyday,
in office, in society, in politics. The minority is often
sacrificed of the majority , no matter how foolish or
ignorant majority are. And how farsighted and
knowledgeable the minority are..
The child who choose to play with rest of the
operational track was sidelined . And in the case
he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for
him.
To make a proper decision is not to change the
course of the train because the children playing on
the operational track should have known very well
that track was still in use and that they should have
run away if they heard the train’s sirens
If the train was diverted, the lone child would
definitely die because the train could come over to
that track !
Moreover the track was not in use probably
because it was not safe
If the train was diverted to the track, we could put
the lives of all the passengers on board to stake.
And in your attempt to save few children by
sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing
hundred of people to save these few children
While we all are aware that life is full of tough
decision that need to be made, we may not realize
that hasty decision may always not be the right
one.
“ Remember that what’s right isn’t always popular
…and what’s popular isn’t always right.”
Everybody makes mistake; that’s
why they put erasers on pencils
