| QUESTION: |
How is The Value Minute® different than other ethics or values programs? |
| ANSWER: |
It is unique in its approach as it does not dictate to its audience how they should act or behave. Many ethics or values programs structure their training in a way that conveys to its audience what is an appropriate, acceptable or postive manner in which to act or behave. Our content makes individuals aware of their OWN values by providing examples that encourage the internalization of the material, provoking thought and awareness. The features do reinforce and underscore the practice of good or positive values but not by way of telling people what to do or how to act, which is what makes our offering different than most other programs. |

| QUESTION: |
Are your features appropriate for any age? |
| ANSWER: |
Our features are written to provide a catalyst for thought or dialogue about values. The content - the values material and message - is certainly appropriate for most any age but the writing style (i.e., vocabulary, content, context) may be too advanced for younger children however parents and teachers should be able to easily adapt any feature to appeal to a younger audience. Our features have particular appeal - as written - to an adult audience or older children, especially those at the high school level and above. |
