FRANZ BOAZ: THE SHACKLES OF TRADITION 056695
In 1883, a young German scientist, Franz Boas, arrived in the Canadian Arctic to map the coastline and indulge in his new interest: the study of other cultures.

He became so absorbed by the common features that unite humans everywhere that he made the study of culture his life's work, doing fieldwork in both the Arctic and the North West coast of America among the Indian tribes.

GENE ENGINEERS, THE 080091
Scientists now have the ability to transfer genes from one creature to another. This may seem like a simple statement and an expected advance in biological science, but its implications are extraordinarily far- reaching when we consider that man now has the power, by combining genes in new ways, to create mutant forms of life that have not exis- ted on earth before. With new technology man may be able to perfect plants and animals, fight cancer and disease and control development. But this new power could have terrifying results. A new microbe with dangerous properties; a lab accident which could unleash disease for which there is no cure, permanent and possibly deleterious changes in man's own genetic makeup. This new methodology has sparked the hot- test controversy in science today.

GEORGE GERBNER ON MEDIA AND CULTURE 057671
Turning to issues of media policy, Gerbner delivers a stinging indictment of the way the so-called "information superhighway" is being constructed. By examining the logic of globalization he shows the ineffectual nature of our present responses - such as the V-Chip to deal with the urgent crisis of the media. Showing the real uses to which the information superhighway will be put by its corporate masters, he urges the citizens of the world to struggle for democratic principles in the cultural environment.

GEORGE GERBNER ON MEDIA AND CULTURE 057672
Drawing upon the path-breaking research of the Cultural Indicators Project, Gerbner outlines, in a comprehensive and clear fashion, the way in which the universal storytelling function of human societies has been colonized by corporate media in the modern world. Making a distinction between 'effect' and his own theory of cultivation, he explains the role the media environment plays in how we think about ourselves and the way the world works.
