TEENS AND ETHICS: Real People
Under the direction of a counselor, real teens talk about the potentially life-changing decisions they face every day -
decisions about smoking, drinking, drugs, sex, lying, cheating and shoplifting. Viewers are asked to think about their own
choices and values and what it means to be "ethical." Through first-person interviews and discussions about real-life
experiences, students see that all choices have consequences and that everyone makes poor decisions. By learning from those
bad decisions, teens can grow into the kind of people they want to be: those who not only know what is right, but who do the
right thing. #11034/1945 29 minutes 2007 *Includes Guide $149.95
