How did people begin to understand themselves in relation to the natural world and to the unseen realms beyond, and how was religion a community experience? In this unit, animism and shamanism in Shinto are contrasted with philosophical and ethical systems in early Greece and China, and the beginnings of Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, and Judaism.
Global 3000 is Deutsche Welle's weekly magazine that explores the intersection of global development and the environmental and social conditions of the diverse cultures of the world. In each program, host Michaela Kufner presents three to four video-rich segments that profile a different part of the planet where man's quest for economic and industrial strength is jeopardizing the ecosystems and the social and economic structures of people thousands of miles away. The program not only documents where those struggles are taking place - but how some groups and individuals are finding solutions to the growing problems of global development.
Delhi: Bursting at the Seams
Leaders in the arts, literature, and political theory argued for social justice and national liberation.
What do historians know about the earliest farmers and herders, and the evolution of cities? Newly emerging evidence about the
In 1898, Frederick Jackson Turner declared the frontier as the defining feature of American culture, but American authors had uncovered its significance much earlier. This program turns to three key writers of the early national period — James Fenimore Cooper, John Rollin Ridge, and Walt Whitman — and examines the influential visions of American manhood offered by each author.
The flapping of a butterfly's wings over Bermuda causes a rainstorm in Texas. Two sticks start side by side on the surface of a brook, only to follow divergent paths downstream. Both are examples of the phenomenon of chaos, characterized by a widely sensitive dependence of the future on slight changes in a system's initial conditions. This unit explores the mathematics of chaos, which involves the discovery of structure in what initially appears to be random, and imposes limits on predictability.
Watch Videos 11 and 12 in the 10th session for grade 6–8 teachers. Explore how the concepts developed in this course can be applied through case studies of grade 6–8 teachers (former course participants) who have adapted their new knowledge to their classrooms.
Global energy use increases by the day. Polluting the atmosphere with ever more carbon dioxide is not a viable solution for our future energy needs. Can new technologies such as carbon sequestration and ethanol production help provide the energy we need without pushing the concentrations of CO2 to dangerous levels?

'Keep it simple and straightforward' - that is her goal as a reporter, producer and presenter.
This episode of GED Connection takes a look at patterns and shows how to solve problems by looking for constant relationships. It also takes a look at how to display solutions on a coordinate plane. The program starts out by looking at the kinds of patterns and how to look for common threads within patterns. It then explains how to plot points on a grid and defines such terms as an ordered pair, x-axis, y-axis, origin, solution set, and slope. It shows how to graph an equation and how to compare one equation to another by looking at graphs. This episode explains that the ability to recognize patterns is a math skill. When you get stuck on a problem look for patterns that can help you find solutions, and look for patterns among solutions to see the bigger picture.
