BULLYING CAN END!
Aesthetic Realism Explains the Cause & the Solution
“Mr. Kimmelman’s presentation is essential to any school or district trying to stamp out bullying and inculcate the culture of kindness.” —Model Schools Coordinator
Ken Kimmelman, president of Imagery Film, Ltd., and Aesthetic Realism consultant, is a two-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker.
He has been a speaker on bullying since 1995, giving presentations in schools, colleges, libraries, and community organizations. He speaks on & shows 3 of his short films in this interactive presentation. He says:
I had always wanted to make films that would have a good effect on people, but it was when I began to study Aesthetic Realism with Eli Siegel, its founder, that I learned principles that could really make for change in the world! I’ve learned the cause of all injustice—including bullying—is contempt: “the addition to self through the lessening of something else.” When contempt is understood and criticized, bullying can end and change to respect and kindness.
