COMMUNITY

RESPONSIBILITY
IN YOUR COMMUNITY
15. RESPONSIBILITY IN YOUR
COMMUNITY
Sometimes being responsible is a burden. A
lopsided obligation. A lonely and thankless job.
In the short film Lighthouse on the next slide, a
grumpy lighthouse keeper makes sure that a safe
little seaside town stays that way, by dutifully
maintaining the beacon that shines above it. Then
disaster threatens, full-speed ahead. Until he
finally sees the light.
As you watch the video, think about ways you can
be responsibility in your community!
