| Mostly Sunny with a 100% Chance of Death |

The following is an installment in "Icebreakers 101: Hello, My Name is Problem", a series featuring "Ice Breaker's" designed to promote training awareness and capabilities in the corrections industry. Thank you, Robyn, for the question that served as catalyst for this icebreaker. The sun was so glorious that day. It gave a sense of hope in what would normally be a cold, dreary day in Northern latitudes. Still, too much of anything can be fatal. How different it would be if the pleasant and moderate blanket of solar energy were a horrible and rapidly increasing blast of radiation! Recently, my wife posed this question to me: “Suppose that the world learns that the earth will crash into the sun in 72 hours, rendering all life null. What do you do with those last three days?” The discussion flowed into different strategies, morality, mortality, and mass psychology. The probable whimper of the human race, one whose tone had hitherto been braggadocio, was ironically amusing. While we are on such a track, let us think smaller and more personally. Your 401k and survival bunker are without use. All your plans are scrapped and soon to be cinder in the face of our heliocentric demise. So, how about you? What would you do if the sun were to consume the earth and all would be dead in three days? Ask one person in the class, “What would you do if the sun were to consume the earth and all would be dead in three days?” When they answer, have them choose a ‘victim’ and go around the class in this manner. Have a recorder write the answers on the board. Then pose this question: What do you do in the event of the following tragic events?
