A first part of an excellent six part series which examines modern life and considers the impact of our relentlessly changing world upon key values that used to make western society something to aspire to.
Each episode is packed with pearls of wisdom and a lot of food for thought.
Concepts are well presented with rational arguments and good examples - helping to justify the often disappointing new realities it reveals.
The documentary is Australian, but applies to all western countries.

This course, in conjunction with the Financial Times, offers the most modern material that gives students the opportunity to develop spoken language, expand vocabulary, build basic knowledge of grammar, as well as develop the skills of reference for business correspondence and business presentations. Ideal for students who need to study business vocabulary, rules and traditions of negotiation of business letters and faxes
