Want perspective? Look at this

Thanks to @almarow who put this on twitter today. http://www.theplaceswelive.com/

This is very hard to watch and explore - from an emotional standpoint. Once you get past the emotion, think about what lesson you can make with this. Remember Gapminder.org and the dynamic maps that show some data visually. That will help students further put this and their lives into perspective.

This is very sobering stuff.
