Abstract
The reality of the world today is shaped by changes. The vast and rapid changes under way in today’s world are familiar to all of us. However, Gardner (1999, 41–42) points out that few institutions have changed as little, in fundamental ways, as those charged with the formal education of the next generation. This contrasts sharply, and possibly also dangerously, with children’s experiences outside the school walls. In modern society, children have access to a range of media and their habits, attitudes, and knowledge are influenced by the heroes and heroines presented in television.
