chosen and edited specifically for the classroom. In the 2010 Edition DVD are:
Vote or Die: Should everyone who is eligible to vote, vote? Does it matter if voters are uninformed? What are the ramifications of uninformed voters? This segment looks at the idea that all eligible voters should vote regardless of their knowledge.
Magic Politician/"Rinkonomics": Who do we vote for? Why? This segment takes a look at some of the promises politicians make, and what we expect from our elected officials.
Rebuilding New Orleans: Private vs. Public: What's happened in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina? How much of the city has been rebuilt? This segment looks at public and private efforts to rebuild the city ravaged by Hurricane Katrina.
Campaign Finance: Is there too much money in politics? Have campaign finance reforms helped? This segment looks at campaign finance laws, and how they have affected political campaigns and citizen participation in the political process.
Farm Subsidies: Do farmers need money from the government just to survive? When the government helps farmers, are they helping us, too? What would happen to the food supply if some farms went out of business?
Middle Class: Is the middle class really disappearing in America? Each day, we are confronted with reports about how middle class people are struggling to make ends meet, and how opportunities are dwindling. Is this gloom and doom true, or just a perception? This segment looks at statistical and anecdotal information about the middle class in America.
Private Roads: How can the problems of traffic congestion be solved? Is there a place for entrepreneurs and businesses to help? Is it wrong for businesses to make money off those stuck in traffic? This segment looks at private toll roads and efforts to reduce traffic congestion.
Desire To Be Famous: What's so important about being famous? Why not wealthy or intelligent? Why not cure cancer? This segment looks at the desire of American youth to be famous and what it says about our values.
