The video shown on this page was shown in my daughter's science classroom. Opinions? Appropriate? Educational or political?

The video does have a proliberal/proenvironmentalist/anti consumerism/anticapitialiam bend to it but overall there are some good points that are made in it. It can be eye opening into consumer waste. Also, the speaker does throw some "facts" out without supporting the info. That being said I use it in my High schoolSociology class when we discuss economic starta, globalization, technological advances between the "haves" and the "have nots". It really developes into a great discussion point for the students.

I don't have enough information to determine whether the video is appropriate in your daughter's science class. There are too many unknowns.

How old are the students in the class? What kind of science class is it? What lessons/discussions preceded the viewing of the video? What activities/discussions took place after the viewing?

While the video comes off as being quite anti-government, anti-business, there are a lot of positives to it. Used in the right way, I don't see a problem with it being shown to students.
