ILLUSTRATES WITH EVERYDAY EXAMPLES, DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUPERFICIAL STANDARDS & TRUE IDEALS. HIGH SCHOOL BOY WHO IS PRIMARILY CONCERNED WITH AUTOMOBILE, DATES, PARTIES LEARNS FROM HIS FATHER’S EXAMPLE THAT IDEALS ARE BASED ON HONESTY, SINCERITY & GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP.’
Public domain film from the Library of Congress Prelinger Archives, slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and one-pass brightness-contrast-color correction & mild video noise reduction applied.
The soundtrack was also processed with volume normalization, noise reduction, clipping reduction, and/or equalization (the resulting sound, though not perfect, is far less noisy than the original).

An ideal is a principle or value that one actively pursues as a goal, usually in the context of ethics. Ideals are particularly important in ethics, as the order in which one places them tends to determine the degree to which one reveals them as real and sincere. It is the application, in ethics, of a universal. It is roughly similar to the relative intrinsic values.
Someone who claims to have an ideal of honesty but is willing to lie to protect a friend is demonstrating that not only does he hold friendship as an ideal, but, that it is a more important one than honesty. Thus ideals can be seen to be similar to values.
However, the -ism of ideals is slightly contrasted with idealism (which is the doctrine that ideas, or thought, make up either the whole or an indispensable aspect of any full reality, so that a world of material objects containing no thought either could not exist as it is experienced, or would not be fully “real.”)…
