The tragedy of commons is an example at Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge and by Fr. Jett Villarin, president of Ateneo at the Green Innovation held by AGSB last Dec 4 and 5, 2012.
The tragedy of commons is traced back to the graze land in Sahel South Africa way back in the l920s up to 1970 which saw steady growth in cattle population (wilderbeast?) There was unusual growth due to rainfall land new wells form intl aid organization in l965. And because of this, there was overgrazing. This started in the l960s which saw foliage being consumed by a large herd and inability to the graze land to grow fast enough. There was a series of drought that struck in the l960s and l970s
In the early 1970s, up to 80% of the herd was dead; and the once prosperous cattle ranchers was poor.
What do we do with free commons: air, sea, wind, water, trees
The precious commodities: oil, minerals, fish food, livestock?
Will there be enough for all in the future?
Will tragedy strike us all?

Did your professor give you a hard time? Fr. Jett Vilarin Ateneo President
In the AGSB graduation rites last Sunday for MBA 2012, Fr. Jett Villarin asked this in his
"pabaon speech to the graduate " (has nothing to do with the AFP practice for retiring gens.), as he asked the public to recognize the faculty of AGSB (there were only 24 present), he asked the question,
"Did they give you a hard time"
I say I was part of this group who gave the masteral student a hard time. They are masteral students aren't they and must be tough to master tough lessons and assignment. "You only begin living when you live outside your comfort zone)
Then Fr. Villarin said "Dapat naman" (It is right and just)
I remember a student, (a medalist) remarking that for a 3 unit elective, Entrepreneurship had many assignments. (It does not deserve to be that hard. It had to be easy. Electives had to be easy. I clarified that from the Cluster Chair)
What do you think? Must MBA be easy?
Must AGSB subjects be easy 4? Must we have 20% of the graduates as medalists?
