Five public talks on race relations. What are the causes of racial friction? Why are different cultural values felt as a threat? How far does the recurrent political debate about immigration distract attention from what needs to be done if Britain is to function successfully as a multi-racial society?
For the next five weeks BBC2 presents extracts from a series of talks which offer the sort of informed analysis needed in tackling such questions.
Professor John Rex , Professor of Sociology, University of Warwick
The problem of racial friction is often defined as a problem of the inner city. But is it?

Without the national pressure which some countries feel to learn foreign languages, teachers in comprehensive schools have, themselves, to create motivation and enthusiasm for language learning. They must then sustain this commitment when the pupils realise that to learn a foreign language is hard work.
