Thanks to Rick and Marc for their informative comments. I should say that I knew nothing about Schoolhouse Rock before I posted my note, and assumed that the video was relatively recent. I came across it in an article in _Slate_ which I wanted to post but decided it was insufficiently relevant to psychology (not that there's anything wrong with that on this list, but I like to pretend). The article, which I found amusing and edifying, is about a Canadian becoming an American who discovers that the answers to the questions on the citizenship test are inaccurate, big time (hey, maybe I should reconsider its irrelevancy). As it happens, Christopher Hitchens made the same complaint (in his memoir, Hitch-22) after he went through the process. The url: http://www.slate.com/id/2286258 Stephen Stephen L.

Re: [tips] Oh, dear..."cutting" is on youtube
Hmmmhaving posted the article about cutting on You Tube, I felt compelled to see just how pervasive these frightening videos are. Well, the very first one was actually a semi-documentary by College Health Guru *about *cutting and what to do to help someone, etc. I found "cutting" hair, "...up chickens," sheet metal, t-shirts (?), "...with a torch," "...and lighting your cigar," horses (as in "out of the herd"), etc. I did find some dark humor videos about cutting, where the person wasn't actually cutting him/herself. (How funny?) Finally, after many pages of searches I found a disturbing one, complete with music. But knowing that TIPS is available to the public with a google search, I have decided not to post the URL for this one. If anyone from TIPS, perhaps someone who teaches Abnormal Psych. or Adolescent Psych., is interested in this site, please contact me personally.

RE: [tips] Educational cartoon video
At least every American who watched Saturday morning cartoons when I was
growing up has seen it. They were originally broadcast in the 60s and 70s. Of
course, they cut out a few steps like the lobbyists writing the bill, the fact
that the bill is often larded up with pork of the "you scratch my back, I'll
scratch yours" variety, the final version is written a few hours before it is
voted on and often none of those voting on it have actually read it. And, as
some legislators have said, it wouldn't matter if they did read it because it
is generally written in legalese no one can understand (and most of these
legislators are lawyers). But I guess that song wouldn't be quite as catchy.
After all, I still remember it today (along with another favorite Schoolhouse
Rock song: Conjunction Junction).

Re:[tips] Norwegian wood and the nature-nurture question
Stephen Black wrote of the Norwegian documentary on nature/nurture presented by the comedian Harald Eia (links in Stephen's post below): >This is a great documentary...It's provocative and >informative, and it sets a standard of excellence in >presenting scientific information to the public. I totally concur with what Stephen says about the documentary. I appreciate that most TIPSters don't have the time that Stephen and I have to watch several 38 minute sections, but they're well worth the effort. Proponents of each "side" were presented with what their opponents had to say, so that they could respond. There were some gems from the cultural determinists: "If you don't take genetics into account you can explain everything environmentally." In response to being presented with evidence of genetic influence: "In social science we try to introduce theories." And: "I have the theoretical basis. There's no room for biology in there." Do watch at least the first two sections, and the last: Brainwash 1: 7 - "The Gender Equality Paradox": http://vimeo.com/19707588 Brainwash 2: 7 - "The Parental Effect" http://vimeo.com/19893826 Brainwash 7: 7 - "Nature or Nurture" http://vimeo.com/19889788 The password is "hjernevask" (no capital letters, no quotes). Allen Esterson Former lecturer, Science Department Southwark College, London allenester...@compuserve.com http://www.esterson.org - From: sbl...@ubishops.ca Subject:Norwegian wood and the nature-nurture question Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 21:21:50 -0500 What? You were expecting maybe the Beatles? Think again. I meant the wooden thinking of Norwegian social science experts about nature- nurture (feel free to add scare quotes and/or the modifier "so- called"). Here's the background. A well-known comedian in Norway, Harald Eia, has produced a documentary on the biological bases of gender differences. Called "Brainwashed", it was shown on Norwegian public television (the NRK), where it was watched by much of the country. It created a huge controversy. Its burden is that while many experts outside Norway have concluded that gender differences are substantially genetic in origin, those in Norway, that most egalitarian of countries, reject this conclusion. They instead claim that this question is uninteresting, morally suspect, and it's all due to culture and upbringing anyway. Really! Eia brilliantly shows them to be sadly misinformed (a euphemism for a less charitable descriptor). He chases around various countries, consulting people like Robert Plomin, Steven Pinker, Simon Baron- Cohen, Richard Lippa, David Buss, Simon LeVay, Richard Nisbett, and Judith Harris. Also Norwegian experts. He shows them what each said about the other, and asks for responses. Their reactions are revealing. This is a great documentary. Despite Eia's status as a leading comedian, it's not a comedy (in fact, in his person-in-the-street interviews he first has to convince his interviewees that he's actually going to be serious). Nevertheless, the presentation is entertaining, with a light-hearted touch. It's also packed with scientific content, visually-arresting images, and helpful diagrams. It moves at a rapid pace, with Norwegians talking very fast, and one can barely keep up with the subtitles. It's provocative and informative, and it sets a standard of excellence in presenting scientific information to the public. The series consists of seven 38-minute segments, posted on-line on a password-protected site. Here's the good news.Through an intermediary (thanks, Richard Lippa), I've received permission from one of the producers to make the urls and password available on TIPS. Here they are: Brainwash 1: 7 - "The Gender Equality Paradox" http://vimeo.com/19707588 Brainwash 2: 7 - "The Parental Effect" http://vimeo.com/19893826 Brainwash 3: 7 - "Gay/straight" http://vimeo.com/19869748 Brainwash 4: 7 - "Violence" http://vimeo.com/19921232 Brainwash 5: 7 - "Sex" http://vimeo.com/19921928 Brainwash 6: 7 - "Race" http://vimeo.com/19922972 Brainwash 7: 7 - "Nature or Nurture" http://vimeo.com/19889788 The password is "hjernevask" (no capital letters, no quotes).

[tips] Who Was The First African-American U.S. Senator?
Given that February is celebrated as African-American month in the U.S., it is worth noting that on February 25, 1870, the first African-American was sworn in as a U.S. Senator. Because no African-American had yet been elected to the House of Representatives, this person is the first African-American to serve in Congress. So, does anyone know the gentleman's name? The NY Times notes that it reported on this event back in 1870 and here is a link to that news report: http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/big/0225.html#article For more detailed information on the gentleman, there is a Wikipedia entry for him (yadda-yadda) and it is worth noting that after his service in the Senate, he became president of the Alcom Agricultural and Mechanical College (now Alcom State University) where he also taught philosophy. Later, he would teach theology at Shaw College (now Rust College).
