The third film in a five-film series, this film illustrates how pre-school children use the forms and arrangements of the words of their language to convey meaning. This is the grammar of the language. This film shows how patterns of organization differ from language to language and are based not so much on logic as on customs and conventions peculiar to each language. A class in German shows how grammatical patterns and their variations are taught by modern methods.
Episode 10 from the Agency for Instructional Technology series Geography in U.S. history : illuminating the geographic dimensions of our nation's development.
Discusses Christian dogma versus the Darwinian theory. Stresses the impact of modern psychology and biology upon man's concept of man. Discusses some sociological and legal distinctions between man and animals. (Palmer Films) Kinescope.
Humans are remarkably similar to other apes. Like us, chimpanzees and orangutans are extremely clever, use tools and exhibit rudimentary understanding of causality and what others intend. However, other apes are not nearly as good at understanding the intentions of others nor nearly so eager to accommodate or help them. By contrast, right from an early age, humans are eager to help and share. It was this combination of understanding what others intend along with impulses to help and please them that enabled our ancestors to coordinate behavior in pursuit of common goals—with spectacular consequences later on. So how and why did such other-regarding capacities emerge in creatures as self-serving as non-human apes are? And why did they emerge in the line leading to the genus Homo, but not in other apes?
In her lecture, Sarah Hrdy explains why she became convinced that the psychological and emotional underpinnings for these "other-regarding" impulses emerged very early in hominin evolution, as byproducts of shared parental and alloparental care and provisioning of young. According to widely accepted chronology, large-brained, anatomically modern humans evolved by 200,000 years ago, while behaviorally modern humans, capable of symbolic thought and language, evolved more recently still, in the last 150,000 or so years. But Hrdy hypothesizes that emotionally modern humans, interested in the mental and subjective states of others emerged far earlier, perhaps by the beginning of the Pleistocene 1.8 million years ago.

Summary:
Uses live-action photography and animation to explain how the earth is protected from extremes of heat and cold by the layer of atmosphere which surrounds it, how the sun's heat is distributed by moving air masses, and how the activities of cold and warm fronts produce constantly changing weather conditions over the surface of the earth. Shows the origins of weather--the uneven distribution of the sun's rays over the surface of the earth, the redistribution of the sun's heat from equator to poles by moving air, the origins and movements of cold and warm fronts, and the formation of local phenomena such as cumulonimbus clouds and thunderstorms. | See description for Color version FC1086.
Opens with a classroom scene in which Judy is crying at her desk. Her teacher learns that the accidental spilling of a bottle of perfume began a series of incidents of teasing by Jack which culminated in the classroom scene. Then mentions alternative courses of action and invites audience discussion.
Immediately after the overthrow of the Czar in 1917 the Kerensky government was formed, the short-lived and only democratic national government Russia has ever known. Dr. Sworakowski provides a detailed and carefully analyzed description of the reasons why Kerensky’s government fell so quickly. He also reads a letter from an eye-witness of the overthrow. Again, dramatic episodes alternate with commentary and narration over photographs and documents, as a picture of Lenin’s strategy and attack in the November Revolution is built up.
Continues the painting shown in UNDERPAINTING. More area is covered with underpaint, the head and face are developed through the use of brushes, and additional work is done on the chest area.
