Episode 5: Am I Always Responsible for My Actions?

Duration: 5 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two Northern IrelandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two HD

A scorpion asks a frog to help her across the river, but will she be able to stop herself stinging him? This animated parable explores the concept of personal responsibility. It is part of a series of five fun and engaging short films that explore fundamental philosophical concepts through everyday questions that children ask and adults often struggle to answer.

The films provide a springboard into wider philosophical exploration and debate in the classroom and beyond. Each film consists of a beautifully animated parable, intercut with a variety of different children's responses.

The series explores concepts such as morality, identity, perception and equality and aims to help Key Stage 2 students to think laterally and creatively. Show less
