This Golden Rule, also known as The Ethic of Reciprocity, is considered by many to be the most consistent, prevalent and universal ethical principle in history. It is found worldwide throughout cultures, religions, secular philosophies and indigenous traditions. Why does it deserve renewed attention today? The Golden Rule has tremendous capacity for promoting social justice, non-violence, unity, the teaching of compassion and ethics, multicultural and multifaith cooperation. Long thought of as a rule for individuals, our changing world invites us to broaden this rule to include groups of people and society as a whole. Filmmaker Tina Petrova propels the viewer on a journey of discovery, as teenage youth embody the teachings of the Golden Rule through self-directed explorations in art, music rap and drama skits. The core values of this ethic of reciprocity are brought to life by these young people, commentated by educators and interfaith leaders. The film demonstrates how character education can be illustrated to students through the use of play, fun, creativity and the arts. The DVD (including valuable DVD extras for in-class use) was created as a learning tool to match curriculum with World Religion courses. “Helping high school students conduct themselves in non-prejudiced ways has been a consistent theme throughout my 30-plus years of public high school teaching. As the years went by, my colleague and I increasingly focused on the Golden Rule as a way to achieve this goal; “Animating the Golden Rule…An Introduction” is a welcome instructional tool toward this end. When students view this film, they, like the students in the movie, will be inspired to act out Golden Rule values in skits, song, dance and artwork. It is through immersion activities such as these that enduring ethical commitments are made.” NOTE: The DVD has selectable English and French sub-titles. |
