Intended to provoke classroom debate, these clips show teens talking about money, work, self-employment, redundancy, debt and discrimination. You might not agree with everything they say! Why do we need money, and why is it so often at the root of arguments? What costs more, your car or your house? Why do we work, and should we enjoy it? Do you have to be an employee or should you go self-employed? If so, what is self-employment and how does it work? Next, redundancy - what happens to people when they lose their job? How might they feel, what can they do? And the ever present fear of debt - how do people end up owing so much? Discrimination in the workplace - who is discriminated against, and why? What experiences have these teens had of discrimination? These films do not offer solutions, but show teenagers wrestling with social issues and exploring their understanding. It is up to your class to decide what they think, and to continue the discussion.
