While searching for video footage, I stumbled across this 14 minute Mc-Graw Hill production from 1957. This video reflects a changing tide in opinions on eugenics thanks to the availability of new scientific research. It addresses "latin temperament", the alleged five races of man, and hereditary vs learned behavior, among other things. It's actually quite a funny video if you enjoy corny humor. Give it a watch and let me know what you think. Lets compare notes in a week...
1) Do you find it "progressive" for 1957?
2) Who do you think the target audience was?
3) Were compelling arguments made or was some info left out?
4) What information would you update about this movie if it was being re-made in 2018?
