TJEd Young Adults Discussion :Obama's America 2016


Current Events bring relevance to your classroom. I encourage parents to first screen, then take their transition to scholar students to see the documentary Obama's America:2016.

Below are some questions to ask your young adult, should you decide they can view the documentary. Use or adapt as you like. Enjoy!

Obama’s America 2016 Dinesh D’Sousa

Orientation questions:
·       Do you consider yourself effective or ineffective in identifying and solving societal or cultural problems?
·       Suggest a series of steps you might take (or perhaps HAVE already taken) in solving a group problem.

*Say: You are about to see a documentary about two men who came from a similar background.
The proposed subject of the documentary is our current president, Barak Obama. The documentary producer is Dinesh D’Sousa.
As you watch the first hour of the film, try to ask yourself:

·       What did the two men have in common?
·       In what ways did the men differ?
·       Do you think the people who influenced a man seeking the Presidency of the United States should be looked at before you vote for the candidate?
·       Is a candidate’s family or cultural background a worthwhile factor to consider before voting?
·       Can you explain the terms Colonialism and Anti-Colonialism?

Recommended reading
Inspire better thinking, reasoning and writing. READ about it :D
Under your parents’ blessing, consider the autobiography of the subject, his story in his words “Dreams from My Father” by Barack Obama
Read the work of Dinesh D’Souza “The Roots of Obama’s Rage”
