Our video blogger covers the subject of Respect in a combination of a video essay about respect in our daily lives, a documentary about a group of teens in Georgia who learn about respecting our planet, and a flash animation dialogue between our blogger host and a mighty disappointed Mother Earth.

The program opens with a dramatic skit about a middle school student who can’t get respect from his classmates and the sorrowful impact that has on him. The sum total of these elements reinforces the importance of respect in everything we do and in all the choices we make.

In addition there is a Discussion Guide which covers not only the text of the DVD, but also gives the leader before and after viewing the DVD questions, writing assignments, and group activities.
