History of Universe made easy-part 1 (9:08) This is how we know how the universe extended in time and space
History of Universe made easy-part 2 (9:20) This concludes the two parts on the history of the universe, showing how our universe, solar system and planet Earth formed through natural and predictable processes. Key words: science, change
The Origin of Life made easy (6:15) The video explains current ideas as to how life might have originated on Earth. The idea that inorganic mud can miraculously turn into cells is a claim made in the Bible and the Qu'ran, not science. What biologists are trying to do is understand how carbon-based chemicals combine to form nucleotides, the building blocks of replicating chemicals. The chemistry is complex, but it's starting to be understood, and it's not magical. Please also see The Origin of Life - Abiogenesis by cdk007 which gives an excellent description on the latest hypotheses about cell formation. Key words: science, life, scientific method, chemistry, change
The Story of the Earth made easy (9:22) Is the Earth really 6,500 years old? And was there a global flood 4,000 years ago? The only way to find out is to look at the clues from the past. This video explains the evidence geologists use that shows slow uplift, erosion and sedimentation over hundreds of millions of years. Key words: science, archeology, change
The Age of the Earth made easy (9:34) Methods of dating easily explained, that clearly prove the age of the Earth and our universe.

The Theory of Evolution made easy (9:52) Explains the Theory of Evolution in simple terms. A must for anyone who is confused by what the Theory is, what it means, and why it's taught in classrooms. Biologists define evolution as change in the gene pool over generations. It is an observable natural process. There is also a scientific theory called evolution, which explains the population mechanics that observe. So evolution is both a fact and a valid scientific explanation. We have observed species events. Key words:
Human Evolution made easy (10:00) Explains evolution among humans. Do missing links exist? Key words: science, human origin, fossils
Human Ancestry made easy This video traces our migration out of Africa and explains, through DNA evidence, how humans colonized the world. It is part of the Made Easy series of videos that show the evidence of our origins, from the Big Bang onwards.
The Scientific Method made easy (9:21) The 'Made Easy' series explains the evidence of our origins, from the Big Bang to the human migration out of Africa. This video explains how we acquire this knowledge, and how ideas go from a hunch in a laboratory to accepted theories taught in school.

Globalization (13:53) Is globalization about sharing a global culture, or designing new cultural borders? Is cross-cultural awareness a new skill, a differentiated form of collective intelligence we should learn, and teach? Peter delivers a lively talk on cross-cultural differences and their impact on our daily personal and professional lives.
French educated, Italian speaking, English lawyer, Peter Alfandary describes himself as a mildly schizophrenic Brit. After 30 years practicing as an international lawyer, Peter decided to turn his lifelong fascination with different cultures into a full-time occupation – training and coaching professionals and senior executives on cross cultural management skills. He passionately believes that the need for cultural intelligence is increasingly critical as we move inexorably towards greater globalization. Film and jazz buff, avid reader, Peter travels the world advising businesses and lecturing on cross cultural skills. His passion for his subject is only equaled by his other passion, Huguette, his Citroen 2CV which he proudly drives around London.

The Evolution of Humans (1:28:26) Evolution is the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organization, including species, individual organisms and molecules such as DNA and proteins. All life on Earth is descended from a last universal ancestor that lived approximately 3.8 billion years ago. Repeated speciation and the divergence of life can be inferred from shared sets of biochemical and morphological traits, or by shared DNA sequences. These homologous traits and sequences are more similar among species that share a more recent common ancestor, and can be used to reconstruct evolutionary histories, using both existing species and the fossil record. Existing patterns of biodiversity have been shaped both by speciation and by extinction. Key words: earth, life, DNA sequences
Evolution Clarification Scientists continue to study various aspects of evolution by forming and testing hypotheses, constructing scientific theories, using observational data, and performing experiments in both the field and the laboratory. Biologists agree that descent with modification is one of the most reliably established facts in science. Discoveries in evolutionary biology have made a significant impact not just within the traditional branches of biology, but also in other academic disciplines (e.g., anthropology and psychology) and on society at large. Key words: evolution, genes, genes poll, change, progress

Jane Goodall: What separate us from Chimpanzees (29:15) http://www.ted.com Jane Goodall hasn't found the missing link, but she's come closer than nearly anyone else. The primatologist says the only real difference between humans and chimps is our sophisticated language. She urges us to start using it to change the world.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers are invited to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes.

Among the Wild Chimpanzees (53:17) In 1960 Jane Goodall set out for Tanzania's remote Gombe Stream Game Reserve to study the behavior of man's closest living relative, the chimpanzee. With dedication and perseverance she earned the trust of a wild chimp community, and gradually they revealed their individual personalities and the rich tapestry of their daily life. This program looks at two landmark decades of Jane Goodall's work, including her dramatic discovery of chimpanzees making and using tools. Key words: Anthropology, behavior, chimpanzees, toolmaking

Social Class in America 1957 (14:49) If this film was designed to stimulate thought, it succeeds. We follow the lives of three small town high school buddies; "Gil Ames" who is rich and happy; "Dave Benton" who is poor and doomed; and "Ted Eastwood," who is middle class and doomed. Gil is sent to an Ivy League school (where he meets "men of his own kind"), returns home wearing a bow tie, and takes over his father's very profitable business. Dave gets married, has lots of kids, and winds up working in a gas station. Ted wants to be an artist, but he falls in love with "Mary" and becomes a white collar bookkeeper.
Mary, however, wants a man with a bigger bank account, so she dumps Ted, who then decides to move to Manhattan and "make something" of himself. After many years of hard work as an advertising artist and art director, Ted lands a painfully dull white collar job in an advertising agency and gets to play golf with rich men. This is "vertical mobility," the narrator explains, "particularly characteristic of the United States." Ted returns home wearing a snappy hat, but Mary has married Gil, and both really don't want anything to do with him.
This film was produced to explain basic concepts of sociology, but ends up presenting a rather dark view of social class and mobility in America. Key words: Culture, American society, social class
Mississippi USA 1961 (28:52) Four African-Americans from the Midwest city recall life in segregation before the civil rights movement in the mid-1960s. They couldn't eat in white-owned restaurants and attended separate (and unequal) schools. This video was part of the educational pre-show for the play, "Jubilee in the Rear View Mirror," about the voting rights struggle that opened in 2012 (www.jubileeplay.com) To emphasize the racial divide of the time, the theater was roped off into separate white and colored areas. Patrons were issued tickets at random (not by race) and sat in the appropriate W and C sections. Before pressure was brought to bear, blacks in many communities were not allowed to try on new shoes. Salesmen traced the edges of their old shoes onto butcher paper and fetched an approximate fit from inventory. Key words: American Life, Mississippi, language, racism, life story

Racism in America: A small town 1950’s case study (30:19) Racism in the United States has been a major issue since the colonial era and the slave era. Legally sanctioned racism imposed a heavy burden on Native Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, and Latin Americans. European Americans (particularly Anglo Americans) were privileged by law in matters of literacy, immigration, voting rights, citizenship, land acquisition, and criminal procedure over periods of time extending from the 17th century to the 1960s. Many non-Protestant European immigrant groups, particularly American Jews, Irish Americans, Italian Americans, as well as other immigrants from elsewhere, suffered xenophobic exclusion and other forms of discrimination in American society.
Major racially structured institutions included slavery, Indian Wars, Native American reservations, segregation, residential schools (for Native Americans), and internment camps. Formal racial discrimination was largely banned in the mid-20th century, and came to be perceived as socially unacceptable and/or morally repugnant as well, yet racial politics remain a major phenomenon. Historical racism continues to be reflected in socio-economic inequality. Racial stratification continues to occur in employment, housing, education, lending, and government. Segregation continued even after the demise of the Jim Crow laws. Data on house prices and attitudes toward integration from suggest that in the mid-20th century, segregation was a product of collective actions taken by whites to exclude blacks from their neighborhoods. Segregation also took the form of redlining, the practice of denying or increasing the cost of services, such as banking, insurance, access to jobs, access to health care, or even supermarkets to residents in certain, often racially determined, areas. Although in the United States informal discrimination and segregation have always existed, the practice called "redlining" began with the National Housing Act of 1934, which established the Federal Housing Administration (FHA).

Chemically Dependent Agriculture (48:59)
The change from smaller, more diverse farms to larger single-crop farms in the US has led to greater reliance on pesticides for pest management. Other changes as the US food system becomes more commercialized include: increased use of additives, higher food prices, more water and energy consumption for agriculture, and more pesticide residues entering food through processing. Pesticides have also been used to combat insect-borne diseases, like malaria. It provides an overview of relevant food, agriculture, and pesticide law, and covers the changes in pesticide use as scientific knowledge of a given chemical (i.e. DDT) improves.

The Real Truth About Religion (26:43) In the beginning was the worship of the sun and this was the religion of mankind. And it is no wonder.

size and appearance, and even disappearing and reappearing at different intervals. To him they appeared to be living entities. Although the ancients incorporated many different conceptions of god(s) and of celestial bodies, the sun, the most majestic of all entities was beheld with awe, revered, adored and worshiped as the supreme deity. The lesser heavenly bodies, although also awe inspiring, were generally considered demigods and thought to be his goddesses, relatives, descendants, and adversaries. Thus was the genesis of religious mythology.
The ancients assumed that if the sun had the power to sustain life that it was also responsible for creating it, and was therefore worthy of their praise and adoration. It was to be besought and appeased for they surely did not want to incur the wrath of this most powerful deity. The Sun is the deity that eventually morphed into the God that many people still worship today. Man created "God" in his own image.

and his flying reindeer, it's a bracing reality check. Just don't tell your Rudolf-the-Red- Nosed-Reindeer-loving children that reindeer meat is considered a delicacy in Norway.
Sometimes called "the people with four countries," the indigenous Sami roam across the northern borders of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. In Finland, in particular, they are also known as Lapps. A century ago, Sami author and artist Johan Tuuri wrote: "We, the Sami people, come from nowhere. We have always been here, long before anybody else."
Today, only a small number of the 60,000 to 80,000 Sami continue to make their living by herding reindeer, and their traditional nomadic way of life is endangered. The modern world is closing in on them. Recreational snowmobilers, mining companies, even NATO military bases are encroaching on their remote domain.

The Nuer (12:00 preview) The Nuer call themselves Naath. Only their immediate neighbors, the Dinka, Shilluk and Arabs, call them Nuer. Most foreigners, which includes those with whom the Nuer neither fought nor traded, are called Bar which means 'almost entirely cattleless'. Those foreigners who live even more remotely and include Europeans are called Jur which means 'entirely cattleless', a most unthinkable state indeed.
The people of Ciengach, where the film was made, are the Eastern Jikany, one of about a sixteen distinct tribes of Nuer. Twenty-five years ago E.E. Evans Pritchard estimated the total population of Nuer to be around a quarter of a million. Since then the number has undoubtedly dwindled considerably due to warfare, civil strife, sickness, drought and the general abandonment of traditional lifeways.
