Sportsmanship is the standard of morality of a person while they are in competition with others. Good sportsmanship is a lesson preferably learned at a very young age, although one that many people seemingly never learn. The two 1950s films on this DVD demonstrate to children how to behave with the proper attitude while sporting, no matter if they are winning or losing.

Good Sportsmanship

Length: 9 Minutes | Produced:1950

Good Sportsmanship teaches young teens how to build relationships with opponents and how fitting into social groups is more important than winning or getting what you want. This exemplary 1950s social guidance film uses sports as a metaphor for life in order to teach social conformity and deference to the needs of the group over those of the individual. Several scenes of kids playing basketball and other daily life situations, such as sibling interaction are used to teach this lesson. The film is full of good sportsmanship stories, as well as defining the rules of good sportsmanship in the context of high school sports. The social life of teens and social groups in high school are also explored. Male bonding activities in 1950s culture werent always easy to come by, and this film champions the relationships that can be built in sports as ideal for teen athletes. The film is also an excellent look at school history and what life in the 1950s schools was like.
