Animated documentary on death
Until this class i have never heard of an animated documentary. I've always had a mental connotation of documentaries being boring so why would anyone make an animated one! But after watching a few documentaries in class i now know that documentaries can be very entertaining and informative at the same time; i've just been watching the wrong ones my whole life i suppose. After seeing the animated documentary we watched in class about death i was very impressed with how it was able to raise questions for all religions. Would i show my kids this someday, probably. Although i do not agree with some of the things portrayed in the doc. it can be a great learning experience because it raises questions. Fittingly, i just learned in my psychology class about some different parenting styles One option of parenting is being authoritarian which means you tell your kids exactly what to do; my way or the highway. I don't think that's how i'll do it when i have my chance. I want my kids to come to their own decisions on things and not be forced believe things, especially in there faith. So a film like this one would be great to raise the questions and give me a chance to talk to them about what i believe and why and let them work through in their own minds whether they agree or not.
