So today they brought everyone in my school into the auditorium and showed a video about drunk driving. But instead of giving facts and reasons why you shouldn't drink and drive, they decided to show a video about high school kids at a party who drive drunk and are killed. Pretty much 5 minutes of the video was at the party. Ten minutes was like getting in the car. And the other 30 minutes or so includedseeing the accident, which included a pedestrian being flipped over the car, a girl going through the winddshield leaving her face cut up and bleeding on the hood of the car, and a kid getting rocked in the back seat. And showing two of the passengers (the girl through the windshield and the kid in the back) being gruesomely operated on in the hospitol. The filming was extremely well done for a movie like this shown in school, practically movie-quality. And more importanyl the film was incredibly gruesome, showing soooo much blood and guts and fucked up shit. Some girls cried during it.
Anyway I was just wondering what you guys think about this. I thought that although they were trying to get across an important point, it was completely innapproriate to show a graphic video like this to "scare" kids into not drinking and driving. I just felt like the way they tried to force/scare kids into not drinking and driving was soooo wrong. they could have just tried to apply to kid's rationalities, not their fear.
A bunch of my friends were disagreeing, some agreed. What do you think?
