God Made Moms To Teach Their Children…What Democracy Means
On last night, I had the pleasure of viewing with my two younger children the documentary “Please Vote for Me”. The 56 min. film was very insightful and quite thought provoking for people of all ages and cultures. In short, the documentary follows the elections for class monitor in a 3rd grade class of eight year old children in China. The three candidates, compete against each other for the coveted role and are egged on by their teachers and doting parents. It’s supposedly to be the first election of its type for a class monitor held in a school in China, as well as an interesting use of classic democratic voting principles and interpersonal dynamics. It also gives a glimpse into China's contemporary urban middle classes.
My tidbit for today is to use this film as a tool to explain democracy along with the choices of free will. I can assure you, you and your family will enjoy it and be surprised at how wise today’s children really are.
Attached is a trailer I found of the film.
Be blessed and encouraged today, it’s a choice. ~Delphine
