Impressions on the video, "The Story of Stuff"

     Before watching the video, "The Story of Stuff", I had watched the same series of video, "The story of Bottled Water". At the moment I was watching that video, I was almost persuaded by the speech of Annie Leonard and the animation in the video. However, when watching "The Story of Stuff", I was a little dubious about the credibility of the show.
     Unlike normal debate broadcast, the video only showed one aspect of idea, which might cause a serious bias to its audiences. In the video, the mainstream of the idea is that consumption based economy of U.S is causing the waste of resources, exposure to malignant toxic, and pollution of the Earth. However, this is not true in some of the businesses. Some corporations produce eco-friendly products, products made without toxic or in an energy saving procedure. Without given this kind of information and  given only one side of idea, the audiences might lack of the ability to assume other sides of idea, and such could be too much inflammatory.
    I know that this video can provide us some creative ideas and new perspectives on the issue of current economy, but the video being used for education should be reconsidered seriously, for the video might cause many disadvantages. If an educator wants to use this video, I really want to recommend him to find another class material which shows the perspective of the other side so that students can think of what is right or wrong in unbiased situation.

These are 3 motions I suggest for Debate Class

1. THB educaters should ban the use of class materials that are not officially approved.
2. THB censorship can be justified when the goal of which is to educate students.
3. THS education about politically sensitive issues in school.
