A project for ADV304 displaying the use of courtesy in society and how we . Shot in an afternoon and edited in a few hours.

Transcript, in the event the audio is too low:

Our modern society, while twice as complex, is half as happy.

We cast sideways glances at passerby. We judge strangers with a malevolent stare.

The cars that we drive insulate us from others.

Skyscrapers dot our horizons, their material worth more significant than the value we put on our own society.

We walk slow and self-indulgently, blind to the problems of others.

We step carelessly through crowds, worried only about our own issues.

In our selfishness we struggle to find truth, and grimace in the face of harmony.

Contained within all our problems, however, is a solution.

Through simple gracious acts, we breed courtesy.
Through it, we find the strength to overcome the even darkest pit of society.

And while we can't each mend every problem or bad habit that arises, we can all make some change.

Because, in the end, when we alter even the smallest of ignorances, we form a positive epidemic of the largest magnitude.

Courtesy. Pass it on.

  • For having so little time on it, I think you did a great job. The audio isn't that bad either, I can understand you. I really like the smiling shot you did at 1:18.
