The Tipping Point/Czech Dream Response

Czech Dream: This was a very interesting project. Some of the fooled shoppers in the movie mentioned how ridicilous it was that their tax dollars are going to these sorts of things. I assume that these two students thought that the message they were trying to get across was truly important or the community they were trying to get together could really benefit from this prank. I'm not sure if I agree with them....

I can't help but to try and think up more helpful community projects that would be possible with that money to educate and bring people together. But perhaps this project really did get everyone thinking and concerned about their behaviour...it would have been nice to have seen more follow up on the fooled shoppers...whether they actually changed their habits or even took on a active role in educating communities or at least their own children. Or do some kind of compare and contrast to see whether those individuals that reacted positively in the movie were already aware of the issue versus those that responded negatively.

Perhaps it would be an interesting project for me to show this video to my teenager sister and her friends and other people I know and see how they react. Cuz as Joe (i think?) mentioned in class (or i just thought of in my head...oops), lots of the things that we see and read are partly "preaching to the choir." Since none of us in class really buy into that "stuff"...

Tipping Point: to be cont...
