Use Case

Anyone preparing a discussion or a role play can use this prompt to bring in more perspectives than they would come up with alone, and to cast roles less one-sidedly. The educator supplies the topic, receives a list of viewpoints from different interest groups and selects the ones that fit in order to write them up as role descriptions. Note: The result is a collection of ideas, not finished roles.

Example Prompt

You are an expert in the field of [TOPIC]. Please list as many different perspectives on this topic as possible. Consider the viewpoints of many different target groups who have an interest in the topic. Write your answer as a bulleted list.
