Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Hello,

The hairstyles and/or songs played in the film may in deed be outdated.
However, the issues raised in the film are not.  I agree with Erica that
this is an effective tool.  Not only does it address "victim blaming",
it also covers "accountability".  

To inquire about update version please contact:

Did anyone ever mention if there is an updated version of "Playing the =
Game?"
 **** I hope there is one, but regardless it is one of the few videos I
use.
Perhaps it would be helpful to let Intermedia know how many people are
interested in an updated version.

Is there an updated version of "Playing the game"? Last time I saw it,
it
was very dated-- late 80's haircuts and clothes. I couldn't get students
to
20 take it seriously because of this...

*** I would make sure to let people know that I knew it was from the
80's,
but I would always begin by saying, feel free to laugh at the hair and
the
clothes, but I would ask for your attention, and usually they would at
the
beginning, especially the song, but after they calmed down it usually
wasn't
an issue.

After I show the video I would always say... "So what did you think?",
and
then the victim blaming comes out... and so I would write each comment
on
the board without saying anything, and it was such a visual way to show
what
we mean by victim blaming, I think it was really effective, and being as
how
in the video the friends of each were each the "friend" and "devils
advocate" it is quite effective in bringing in all sides of the
argument.

"If one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country,
one
does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges, or the
protected
members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected - those,
precisely,
who need the laws protection most! - and listens to their testimony."
