Students adjust fine tuning We live in a very changed world today from that of our grandparents, or even our parents. Computers are beeping their way into every part of our society. Atomic bombs could destroy an entire nation in a matter of seconds. Women's liberation plays an important part in today's legislation, as the supporters are trying to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. Test tube babies have been born around the world. Disco music has replaced rock at the top of the dancing scene. Americans have become closer with peoples from other nations. For the people of Tecumseh, news of these world and national events come to us primarily through one source — television. For it is through this medium, that we saw a pope's funeral and the election, installation and death of his successor in a matter of months. President Carter's fireside chats and the Middle East bargainings became available for viewing by the American people through TV. We were able to view pictures of the terrible mass murders at Jonestown. Through this magic box , that was not even available to our grandparents in their high school years, we are exposed to many detailed facts and views of world life. 2 Nori explains Japanese customs.
