Moms talk about spanking -
Expert – The case against spanking
Recently, the NY Times ran an article on parents’ reliance on shouting (rather than spanking) to discipline their children. Interestingly, the evidence for shouting is not much better than the evidence on spanking and yet many parents seem to find this approach more palatable.

The clip that follows is from the documentary Grey Gardens, about a mother and daughter (Big Edie and Little Edie) who spent about 50 years of their lives in isolation at their home on Long Island.
If you are more interested in their story, you can check out the DVD from the IC Library. Also, read more here – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_Gardens
Today’s film clip on the subculture of deaf culture was from the documentary Sound and Fury. The full length film is available in the IC library. The specific clips we watched are not available online. Below, however, is another clip in which the family engages in an intense debate over the value of deaf culture.
One historical example of a counterculture is the Black Panther Party for Self Defense. Here’s the footage of Bobby Seale explaining the 10-point program.
The other counterculture example I used was the Evangelical movement portrayed in the film Jesus Camp. This film is also available in the IC library. The clips we watched in class are also available online (although the clips below are quite a bit longer than what we viewed in class).
Clip 1 – at camp
Clip 2 – visit to the capital
In class today we watched the film Daughter from Danang. The film is available in the library or can be watched online:
