Date:
1954
Main contributors:
National Educational Television
Summary:
Delegates from Australia, the Union of South Africa, and the Gold Coast discuss the problems of education both in the United States and abroad. Each of the delegates to the forum was the guest of a school during his twelve-week stay, and during that time, each had a good opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of the American school system. One of the students attended a private school here, while the other two attended public schools. Like the blind men who "see" the elephant with their hands, and then attempt to describe it, each of the three has a somewhat different impression of school life here. However, each of the schools which they have attended seems rather typical of one trend or another in American education. In discussing education in this country, they deal with, among other problems, the question of objective as opposed to essay-type examinations, private and public schools, and the differences between the standards in wealthy and less prosperous communities. Both of the delegates from Africa seemed to feel that, while American students are fairly well-versed on the history and problems of Europe, they seem to know comparatively little about other sections of the world. The exchanges between the delegates from the Union of South Africa and the Gold Coast concerning segregation are interesting. Since two of the participants are from the English Commonwealth, it was inevitable that there should be examination of the educational problems growing out of colonial rule.

As recently as 2012, cystic fibrosis was considered a fatal genetic lung disease with most patients dying in their 20s, if not much earlier. But beginning in the 1950s, four couples, desperate to find treatments for their sick children, launched a foundation that would eventually use venture philanthropy to develop a radical type of life-saving personalized medicine that works for 90 percent of Cystic Fibrosis patients. Other disease foundations are striving to replicate the model and the NIH is using the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s strategy to accelerate cures for diseases, rare and common. This event was co-sponsored by the John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society; IU School of Medicine Department of Medicine, Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Department of Pediatrics, and History of Medicine Student Interest Group; IU Indianapolis Medical Humanities & Health Studies Program; and the Ruth Lilly Medical Library.

12988. Paul J. Tillich : religion and psychotherapy (29:19)

Date:
1961
Summary:
This program provides the viewer with some highly interesting comparisons between psychology – in particular, Freudian psychology – and Tillich’s interpretation of man’s nature. The major point developed is the difference between Freud’s and Tillich’s definitions of anxiety. Freud, says Tillich, believed that anxiety can be eradicated, whereas I (Tillich) believe anxiety is an inescapable part of man’s nature. Although psychoanalysis is helpful to a man seeking to understand his own personality, it does not help him to come closer to an understanding of the nature of God. This latter is rather the province of religion, and man’s understanding of God is a direct result of his having faith. As the conversations ends, Dr. Tillich explains that many mental illnesses are caused by uncertainty about the meaning of life. To understand one’s existence, he says, one must have faith. This, in turn, is achieved by constant inquiry, doubt and anxiety about one’s basic beliefs.
