When someone mentions cavemen, a mental picture ... finally gained a little freedom and control when the government was first developed in 1776. After learning only how to cook and clean in the home by their mothers, the young girls began to attend school and learned how to use the proper English and mathematics skills.

- 3626: Is Television Good Or Bad?
- ... a resource that is not used to the full extent that it could be. Television programs that educate are scarce and those that do educate are often on during the day when children are at school. Television stations should organise their programs so that the education shows are shown when children get home from school (3:30 - 4:30) so that the children will be able to learn while enjoying themselves at home.

The different categories of friendship as introduced by Aristotle, is a good way to think of friendship. The question is whether or not his ideals are too high.
