Psychology: How Do You Want You Generation to Be Perceived?

Directions: We have looked at your initial thoughts on your generation, we have seen how social media is being used by companies to capitalize on your likes, and you have read an article about how your generation is perceived by older generations...Its now time to communicate how you want to be perceived, and how you see the world around you.

Using the brainstorming session on how you would like to be perceived by others, develop your ideas further and create how you want to be viewed by other generations using content created and curated by you. Images, video, your own words, music, links, and more...all designed by you. Use this opportunity to express who you are as a Generation to those that may have an altered sense of who you are.

Requirements: Really...this is a way to clear some misconceptions up so I am not looking to place a requirement of elements on there.  However, I would like to see a whole slew of different elements on there, all in an effort to better understand your perspective on this topic.

World History: Holocaust Documentary - not an assignment

A documentary about a lost film from the liberation of Bergen-Belsen camp by the British and other camps during the end of WWII, including Auschwitz. A British filmmaker created a documentary in 1945 to show the indescribable scenes of what British soldiers found at one of the more famous camps in the Holocaust period.  What was finally finished 70 years later is a comprehensive and bracing look at how the Allies learned about the horrors of Nazi policies.

DISCRETION IS REQUIRED - although this is an unrated film, it includes extremely disturbing images of the discovery and clean up of a major prison campsite along with other camps (labor and extermination camps). Unflinching scenes of real dead bodies are strewn throughout the film and it can be extremely harrowing and shocking.

Documentary: Night Will Fall
