Viewers learn how, in just over a century, Henry Ford's innovations completely transformed human life, so much so that in some areas of the world cars seem more important than human beings. In the West, for example, an estimated sixty-two percent of urban space is now devoted to roads or car parks. Meanwhile, the average American home features a garage that would dwarf most bedrooms. The film also illustrates that devoting so much public and private space to an inefficient form of transportation has radically altered our relationship with the environment.","stream","[]","['United States']","['World War, 1939-1945', 'Microeconomics', 'Emigration and immigration', 'Spanish language', 'Colonies', 'Social ecology', 'Imperialism', 'Urbanization', 'Economics', 'Industrialization', 'Rural-urban migration']","['Educational films']","https://cdnsecakmi.kaltura.com/p/1067292/sp/106729200/thumbnail/entry_id/0_wfkbiajf/version/100001/width/320","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=https://fod.infobase.com/PortalPlaylists.aspx?wID=102638&xtid=49665" "fod100049664","","Venezuela [Sur]Realista.

The entire camp snarled into a knot of pledging and singing soldiers, and bombing missions were delayed for hours.

After receiving her Ph.D. from Emory University, Striano became head of the Independent Research Group on Cultural Ontogeny at the Max Planck Society. In 2004, she was recipient of the Sofja Kovalevskaja Research Prize of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation where she built up the Neurocognition and Development Group at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences. She obtained her Habilitation in 2008 from University of Osnabrück and is now at Hunter College in New York City.","stream","[]","[]","['Art therapy', 'Child development', 'Psychomotor disorders', 'Adolescence', 'Developmental psychology', 'Developmental disabilities']","['Educational films']","https://cdnsecakmi.kaltura.com/p/1067292/sp/106729200/thumbnail/entry_id/0_5hflhhjq/version/100001/width/320","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=https://fod.infobase.com/PortalPlaylists.aspx?wID=102638&xtid=49424" "fod100049420","","Breaking the Wall of Religious Public Opinion","[2012], c2010","14 min","[]","In a world characterized by borders between religions, can academia transcend them to find common ground?
