Summary of Series


Child In Our Time

‘Child In Our Time’ is an ongoing BBC production in conjunction with the Open University presented by Professor Robert Winston. It follows the lives of 25 children from their birth at the millennium until they are 25 years old. It examines in a coherent and scientific manner the ways that environment and genetics shape their personalities, as they progress through infancy to become young adults.


Summary of Programme

Child In Our Time (Special) The Big Personality Quiz

In this special edition the programme makes use of a scientific personality test. This is given to the children from the group, their families and the viewing public.  The public interaction makes this the largest ever scientific study into personality. The test examines the five core traits of personality; openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.  Through group experiments in the studio with the families, examining the wider results and exploring the differences of the children in relation to their results, Professor Winston asks the question: do our personalities mould our lives or does our life mould our personality?


Programme description for Informed Consent


The issue of ‘Informed Consent’ will have been at the very core of the relationship between the producers and the parents of the children who are the focus of the series.
The parents would have to agree on behalf of their children that aspects of their whole childhood would be studied in an in-depth scientific manner. As well as the scientific research, every year the family would be involved in filming for broadcast. The producers would have to make the parents aware of all their plans for the production. Their contribution will be very significant to the series, so a lot of detail would have to be given. Each child featured in the programme would have a tailor made informed consent, taking into consideration anything that could have an adverse effect on their private lives.

·         What would be the research?
·         In what way will their private lives be portrayed in the series? 
·         What will be the nature of their involvement?
·         What are the aims of the series?
·         In what context will any film of their family be used?
·         How could their contribution to the series have any potential negative result on the children, and how can this be avoided?
·         What are the moral rights of the contributors in relation to the Ofcom guidance on fairness?

In relation to this specific programme; all of the parents would have already given full agreement for their children and themselves being part of the production.  They would have already signed a legal agreement with the production company, after they had gone through a stringent process of informed consent and where therefore able to make an informed decision. An interesting consideration is will the informed consent need to be reassessed when the children reach the age of adult responsibility?

Briefs on two of the contributors

To highlight the personality trait ‘extroversion’, the two children with the largest contrast in scores in the relevant section of the personality test, have their lives investigated in more detail. This takes the form of interviewing them and their family now, and looking back at relevant archive material from the series.

James scored the highest out of the group of children for the trait extroversion. He was born into a poor working class family in a deprived council estate in London. He makes friends very easily but also seems to lose them just as easily. He likes to take control of situations and is most definitely a thrill seeker. He is a very talkative boy and holds his own in social situations. His mother Carol also scored very highly in the extroversion section of the test. Studies have shown that genetics is 40% of the reason behind an individual’s extroverted personality. His environment has also played an important role in fostering this trait.  His household is a very loud and social place and being an extrovert helps James assert himself in his surroundings. Interestingly it has been shown that those who suffer trauma in childhood tend to exhibit extrovert tendencies. James was kidnapped at an early age by a violent ex partner of Carol’s.

In contrast to James we have Helena; she scored the lowest and would be considered an introvert. Her upbringing is very different. She comes from an affluent middle class background. Helena was the only surviving Triplet and was born so premature the doctors suggested she had very little chance of survival. She had to spend 17 weeks in intensive care and when she got home she had to be protected from infection and thus could not go outside or socialise with other infants. This had a marked affect on her early development.  She could not crawl until 18 months and did not utter her first word until two years. However her parents provided her with lots of stimulation and love during this period. When she was able to leave this form of necessary isolation she quickly caught up in development and became very intellectually advanced. At school she was very confident and had no problem making friends. Unlike James however she only needed a few close friends and developed a very deep friendship with them. She is now a very confident girl who is equally happy reading a book on her own as going out to play.

For both children there are advantages from being either an extrovert or an introvert and it appears that scientific theories about ‘Nurture Vs Nature’ apply to both of them. This example illustrates the idea that environment as well as genetic predetermination plays an important role in determining personality.


Reflection

An interesting documentary and an interesting idea reminiscent of the Up series of films made in the 1960’s which I have seen before.  A criticism I have is they possibly overplay the science, however I can understand the balancing act needed to broadcast an entertaining show that involves science for a mainstream peak broadcast BBC 1 family audience. No mean feat to pull off I reckon. On the whole I think the premise of the series is fantastic, and in the programme I watched the interactivity with the audience really promoted the show to a new level.

Myers to conduct a review of Radio 1,1extra, 2 and 6 music

Former GMG Radio Chief Executive John Myers is to spend 3 months conducting a review of BBC Radios 1, 2 1Xtra and 6 Music before taking up his new job at the Radio Academy.

He'll recommend ways of delivering programmes on the popular networks in a more cost-effective way to save licence fee payers' money.

The corporation confirmed Myers being taken on in a consultancy role to The Telegraph. "As part of the ongoing drive to ensure value for money, we have asked John Myers to help us in reviewing the efficiency of our radio operations," a spokesman told the paper.

The cost of running BBC radio has long been an issue for commercial radio and they have been putting pressure on the BBC Trust for an independent review. The Telegraph reports a source close to the situation said that the BBC wanted to hire "someone primarily with commercial radio experience" but needed to "ensure that person was not a BBC-hater".

Andrew Harrison, CEO of the Radio Centre said: "Although this falls short of a formal benchmarking exercise, we would still expect John Myers, who is greatly respected across all of the industry, to identify both areas of best practice and possible savings."

John has spent over 30 years in radio having launched a number of successful brands including Real, Smooth and Rock Radio. He was formerly the CEO of Radio Investments which housed 26 local radio stations and he sat on the main board of GMG Plc. He is a past chairman of the Radio Academy and in 2007 he was awarded a fellowship for his contribution to radio. He retired 18 months ago to travel the world but only this week he accepted the role as CEO of The Radio Academy. Today's news explains why he doesn't start that job until April 2011.

In January 2009, John was asked by the DCMS to conduct what became known as the 'Myers review' later published in April 2009. He proposed a number of recommendations that were later rolled up into the Digital Economy Bill.

Neuro Linguistic Pogramming

I'm very interested in NLP and plan to use it as a base for a radio drama.
Today when discussing this with Will in the car this programme came on radio 4, an interesting coincidence.
Its an insight into the story of NLP.

 Is NLP science or pseudo-science?

Interesting stuff.

The Biliion Pound a gram

Billions spent on this. Billions spent on that. What does it all look like? Hopefully The Billion Pound-o-Gram will help.
This image arose out of a frustration with the reporting of billion dollar amounts in the media. That is, they’re reported as self-evident facts, when, in fact, they’re mind-boggling and near incomprehensible without context. But they can start to be understood visually and relatively, IMHO.
This is a cousin of The Billion Dollar Gram

Modern policing. Why is there always violence when the TSG and their pals are at protests!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/nov/26/student-protests-police-under-fire


I have been in similar situations, and I know people who still have injuries from the barbaric practice of using a horse as a weapon. Surely this should not happen in the 21st century.

Mothers, children, pregnant women where in this crowd. Does the Met not learn lessons?

There was clearly no warning of any kind. This contravenes ACPO policing guidelines.

Furthermore the tactic of kettling seems to me counter-intuitive and only adds to frustration which then in turn leads to anger and this into violence.

My days of waving the Black flag are just a very hazy concussed memory. Myself as well as all the radio class stayed in lesson and learned. Well we are paying top dollar for our education, and I don't like wasting money.

I wonder are there too many students doing degree's? Was converting the Polys the best plan?
I believe society benefits from well educated people but it appears that UK PLC does not have the correct skill force. The cracks in neo-liberalism are all to apparent, but it appears there is no really progressive political movements today.

New study shows American and Indian scientists are the most fraudulent


A new study shows which nations in the world have the highest rate of retracting scientific papers due to fraud. Which country has the dirtiest scientists? A statistician analyzes the numbers for you.
Over at Nature blogs, biologist and statistician Bob O'Hara looked at the numbers from the study, which looked at numbers of papers retracted in the PubMed database. In the chart above, left-hand columns show why papers were retracted, and the right-hand column is how many papers were published.
O'Hara realized that a more complicated analysis was needed than "bigger numbers means more fraud," since the numbers needed to be normalized for numbers of papers published per country, along with a few other things. He writes:
The US produced the most retracted papers. But ... they also produce more papers than most countries ... So, time to answer the question of statistical significance. The statistical analysis is fairly simple [click here to read the full statistical analysis] ...
We can see that the US has a slightly higher estimated rate of retraction due to fraud, which corresponds to about 30% more fraud per paper than average. But China and India have higher rates of retraction due to fraud than the US (and p-value fans will be happy to know that they are both statistically significance, with lots of stars to make you happy). China has about 3 times as many fraud retractions per paper as average, and India 5 times as many.
What does this mean for fraud and dishonesty? It may not mean that Indian scientists are more dishonest: it may be that they are no more or less honest than anyone else, just they they are caught more often and made to retract. I'll let others debate that: I have weak opinions, but no more data to back these up.
Maybe what we're seeing is that both America and India have the highest rates of transparency when it comes to scientific fraud. Not only are our dirty researchers more likely to be caught, but they're more likely to be forced to retract their work when that happens.

homework

LB127 Homework. Euan McAleece. 17/11/10
The Battersea Divide. BBC Radio 4  Documentary(38 minutes)
Summary
In this documentary we meet two teenage girls who live on opposite sides of Battersea Park and explore how they view themselves in terms of class identity.  One girl goes to comprehensive and the other public school.  The girls will spend a week in each other’s schools and then go on an outward bound course. We will end by asking if the experience has changed their views on class identity.
Treatment
It will be very important to get informed consent from both of the girls who are taking part in this programme and I believe due to their age (17 years old) from their parents as well.  They need to be made aware of the question being posed in the documentary and the tone of the piece, as well as any health and safety hazards (especially the Duke of Edinburgh ‘O B’ course) that could come up.
A narrator will set the scene with a brief description about the objectives of the documentary and some facts and figures about the wealth divide between neighbourhoods around Battersea Park in London.
To establish the girls’ ideas of their own class identity and how they view others, we will interview them in and around their homes. We will make use of actuality to try and paint a sonic picture of their neighbourhoods.
We will arrange for both girls to spend a week in the other’s school. This will put each of them outside of their comfort zone and hopefully make them evaluate and reflect upon their original thoughts on class. For this segment both girls will make a daily audio diary before, during and after school. Also, a researcher will interview them again and ask about their week. From these recordings we will get some strong content that can be edited together to form a wrap introduced and summarised by the narrator.
For the final section of the documentary both girls are taken to an outward bounds course in Wales. Here they will be removed from their familiar environment and will hopefully be able to bond. They will once more make use of audio diaries and location recordings of some of the activities can be used as actuality and atmos, to be edited together to form another wrap.
 This would lead to the last interview on location in Wales, where we ask both the girls together if their ideas of class identity has changed and if so in what way has different environments affected this change?
Reflection
For this piece I watched some sections of ‘Rich Girl Poor Girl’ the TV programme. I have to say I found this awful and it reminded me of the benefits of not owning a TV. However the idea of using the programme idea and converting it into something suitable for BBC Radio 4 was very interesting. I believe if you gave enough time to the recording and due consideration to the girls, this could make an informative and enjoyable documentary which I would be very happy to work on.

In many ways I found this assignment quite hard to do. I was at Castlemorton and was an active participant in the counterculture of Free Techno parties. Therefore I have an in-depth knowledge of the politics and history. To write this I found I had to take a step back and write from the position of a third party in order to be unbiased and to keep the summary concise.

Kaboom

Today I was working putting on the fireworks at Brighton racecourse for Heart FM. 6 hours set up for 20 mins of show, but wow, I had the best view. I now stink of gunpowder. No Treason just gunpowder, my plot is beer, bath then bed.
