Lessons of Honor
This is the title of the film in Spanish, whose original title is “The Emperor`s Club” and although it is from 2002, it can be an input to rethink what is happening in our society.

The tape shows the teaching of meaningful and memorable teacher experience with his naughty and stubborn student; a teacher who teaches about the history of the Roman emperors and focuses on two aspects: that of the teacher as a servant of truth who teaches values ​​to students and their responsibility to learn from their lessons.

During the film you can see how the behavior of a student is tolerated and the practice of cheating. However, the teacher is looking for a way to give him the opportunity to change, even if it is impossible for him as a mentor.

This may be the saddest fate of man and that we see reflected in many societies. Perhaps it is a message for our leaders today and that it could change the future as we build on the lessons of a very powerful past.

It is the perfect film for businessmen, teachers, students, parents and from which it is possible to start conversations that can influence others forever, beyond the reflection of the moment; a clear message for a world in search of moral and ethical responses.

Education as a whole can fail to teach others what they did not live at home, although there will always be passionate people who refuse to let it happen - willing to influence other lives - and students willing to learn the lesson.
