A personal view of childhood in different societies by URIE BRONFENBRENNER
What did you learn in school today?
All of the societies we have been looking at send their children to school but what each expects to achieve by separating children from their families is very different. In Russia and China the lesson is character development and ideology. Here we hope that developing the potential of each individual will benefit society. Narrator PAUL BARNES

Magnus Magnusson introduces the Chronicle Archaeology Award which will be presented for the first time in September 1977. Followed by Orkney Underground
Since the 17th century the prehistoric monuments of Orkney have been subjected to a barrage of opinion, surmise and sheer wrong-thinking. Today scientific excavation and analysis are revealing the extraordinary variety of Orcadian life 5,000 years ago.
On the tiny island of Papa West-ray, Dr Anna Ritchie has uncovered not only the oldest houses in Britain but also evidence of the skill and inventiveness of their occupants. At Quanterness, on the main island of Orkney, Professor Colin Renfrew has excavated a Late Stone Age chamber tomb and added to our growing knowledge of how early human society was formed.
