05/01/2022 Yuuuup, this series is 100% my jam. So far this is stimulating from both the timeless human element, and a historical context as we are treated to a raw view into the prevailing mindsets in these various eras. I'm not sure if production did a bang up job selecting which kids would participate, or if I am just witnessing a fundamental difference in children over a 50 year span. I am just not sure I would expect the same sort of nuanced and well thought out answers these kids were responding with in 1970 when asked serious questions about god and the state of the world, if these same questions were asked of kids of the same age today. It will be hard not to just binge this whole series over the next 24 hours... 8.5/10 See more 04/20/2021 The twit trio (even as Andrew and Charles grow increasingly uncomfortable with John's reactionary trolling): We're not necessarily typical examples. And I think that's what people seeing the program might think, falsely. And they would tend to typecast us. Such is the attitude and ideology, of course, of the privileged white male, who believes the silver spoon in his mouth makes him exceptional, and who as a result misunderstands that all statistical social constructs (which necessarily included the hoi polloi) are made up of exceptions, that the ordinary is amassed from the extraordinary.

Based on the saying, Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man, this episode of a British television show was meant to show the future citizens and leaders of England in 2000 based on their comments and behaviour at 7 years old. It was just getting started. See more 03/05/2016 Drastic changes in personality make this an intriguing watch, and moreover, one has to wonder just how much exposing them to the world seven years earlier affected their lives here... Perhaps it wasn't the most responsible bit of film-making in the first place. See more 07/29/2015 Some of this was just heartbreaking. Interesting to see how asking these questions ("What do you think of X?") turns from an exploration of what a child thinks to how one's point of view evolves over time, due to outside influences.
