In honor of Poverty Awareness Week, please take a minute to watch this short clip from the PBS documentary, People Like Us.
As you are watching the movie, think about these questions…
How did you feel after watching the YouTube video?
Did you agree with what the people commenting were saying?
Do you think you can tell someone’s current monetary worth just by looking at them?
Does the amount someone is worth monetarily affect their “worth” in society?
Now that you’ve had a chance to think about how you would answer the questions, go out and ask someone else what they think! (Please be respectful of other’s opinions, but don’t be afraid to have a good discussion about it if you disagree!).
