Why Are the Students Unhappy? (1966-06-27)
About this film
Student unrest was not yet at its most virulent, but many campuses had seen sit-ins and other disruptions. WFB posits that a chief cause of the problems is adult unwillingness to enforce discipline. Mr. Bikel, who had grown up in a kibbutz in Israel but quickly rebelled against its strictures, -posits that the younger generation must be left free to develop its own values-even if these do not include what the older generation would call civility. TB: "Do you really think that we live in the kind of an age where ... a parent can obstinately cling to the belief that the values of today are not substantially different from the values of yesterday?" WFB: "But the parents are right." TB: "I knew that you would say that."
