Affirmative Action: The History of an Idea
Critics of affirmative action say that current policies pit Americans against each other and elevate the importance of race, gender, and ethnicity at the expense of hard work and merit. Supporters claim that discrimination remains pervasive in the U.S. and that the government must continue to play a role in aiding minorities and women. This program explores the historical roots of affirmative action and the current debate over its usefulness. The program looks at several different affirmative action programs today, from the University of California, Berkeley, where the university is struggling with how to maintain diversity without minority preferences, to the city of Chicago, whose affirmative action programs for its police and fire departments are being challenged. The program includes archival footage and features interviews with a wide array of academic scholars. (56 minutes, color)

Age & Attitudes (cc)
Compared to job seekers under the age of forty, It takes "older" workers 64% longer to find jobs. Today there are 1.5 million older workers looking for work. Are they fossils...or the key to future profitability?
AGE & ATTITUDES is a hard hitting ABC NEWS Prime Time Live special report. Diane Sawyer leads a team of discrimination testers undercover to get a first hand look at what may be America's most costly waste of talent and human energy.
Experts say age discrimination is even harder to detect than race or gender bias. Many job interviewers aren't even aware they are discriminating. This video and discussion guide will help viewers gain new insights and turn the tables on age discrimination.
Valuable, talented workers over forty are being left on the doorsteps of the work place. AGE & ATTITUDES will help managers and supervisors look at potential hires in a new way.

All sides of the affirmative action issue have targeted the same goal: ending racism of all types. But do opportunities for some have to come at the expense of others?

Panelists include Ward Connerly, proponent of California’s Proposition 209; Christopher Edley, Jr., author of Not All Black & White: Affirmative Action, Race, and American Values; Julius Becton, Jr., former head of Washington, D.C.’s public schools; Ruth Simmons, president of Smith College; and policy activists from the African-American, Asian, Native American, and Latino communities.

The Brain Game: Is It Biology or Culture?
When Lori and Rich Boulware of Kendall Park, New Jersey, hit the road recently, their navigational radars were tuned into different frequencies. Rich used a mental map while Lori used landmarks to get around. As the couple tried to get around a tricky area of town, Rich said, “Turn left on Webster,” while Lori said, “You have to turn before the ice cream cone.”
Dr, Helen Fisher, an expert in gender differences, says the Boulwares are not unusual in their navigational skills.
Does the Boulwares’ family story sound familiar? If so, you’re not alone. Fact is, men and women are very different in the way they speak, behave, solve problems, and even remember where the car keys are.
Join host Dr. Nancy Snyderman and a focus group of working men and women as they play THE BRAIN GAME to discover the different strengths men and women bring to problem solving.

Changing the Rules (cc)
"The only way we can get other people to change, since we cannot control their behavior, is to change our own behavior. In order to do this, we need to 'speak' gender differences."
-- Dr. Pat Heim
Based on a real-life case study, the purpose of CHANGING THE RULES is to help viewers move from understanding to solving gender communication problems by identifying the invisible rules men and women play by, and providing a model for choosing effective strategies for most successful communication between genders in the workplace.
This is the problem-solving follow-up to the POWER DEAD-EVEN RULE and INVISIBLE RULES: MEN, WOMEN AND TEAMS.

Clown
A thought-provoking and entertaining addition to diversity awareness training for all levels of your organization, this film follows the lives of three "Clown-Americans" and their families as they make poignant observations about life on the other side of stereotypes inspired by their clown heritage. This unique program combines drama and comedy to explore the effects of bias and racism in America.
The viewer will discover:
Diversity is more than just different colors and different shapes and sizes of human beings. Diversity should be an exploration of cultures, thought patterns and communications. The more we share divers ideas, the more creative and effecient we can become. Diversity training allows us to prepare for meeting differences head on . . . and recognizing those differences. Sometimes we can appreciate those differences and sometimes we can't.
In the DVD training program "How to Deal with Cultural Diversity in the Work Place" you will learn to see the value of these differences in people and learn to put cultural diversity to work to benefit you and your organization.
