My daughter's world history class was assigned to watch this video over the Thanksgiving break. I think it's a good way to keep things in perspective this season.

I have read that break down before. Putting it into a little film makes it more immediate.
That's an eye opening way of looking at things. That was a great assignment.
Talk about perspective. I am so wealthy in SO many areas.
What a wonderful way to keep it all in perspective.
I hope your family had a great holiday.
I remember when this came out years ago.
My daughter who I think was 13 at the time sent it to everyone she knew…
She handed it to teachers, posted it on bulletin boards, and sent out emails…
I am happy to hear that it was giving as a class assignment.
We do need to stop and think…

Bish - I've heard the statistics too - but I agree, it has more of an impact presented this way.
ICQB - It was a great assignment...I'm glad my daughter shared it with us.
Green Girl - We are, and sometimes it helps to have a reminder of how fortunate we are.
Debbie - Thanks! I hope you enjoyed the holiday, too.
Louise - Good for your daughter to pass it along.
According to the website, they've updated the figures. I'm curious to read the original report.
What a great video. It's a lesson everybody--especially people in wealthy countries like ours-needs to hear. Thank you for sharing it!
yes, I'm wealthy and I can help:))) Thanks for the great message in this video.
Wow! Powerful video! Thanks for sharing it, Adrienne. It's good to remember how lucky we are here in the U.S.
