The programme looks at the cultural differences between these musical styles, and suggests that these differences go beyond simple musical taste - they are indicative of a fundamental political decision that every black person has to make - whether to integrate or segregate. The film states that reggae followers tend to feel that racial integration is difficult in Britain and interviews young men (many with dreadlocks) about their beliefs. It then moves to the soul scene and interviews sharply-dressed soul music followers about their aspirations, multiculturalism and whether or not they have experienced racism. The groups are asked what they think of each other with some surprising insights. Includes interview with stylist Winston Isaacs at a black women's hair salon.
This film was first broadcast: 1979

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most important thing you should know about history?
This question has many facets. However, there are three main points to consider when thinking about learning. First, knowledge is power. We must also recognize the fact that knowledge is cumulative. We must also be able to appreciate the speed at which knowledge can change.
Knowledge is power. This empowers us with the knowledge we need to make better decisions and live better lives. We would not have any trouble making decisions if our information was perfect. We'd do what we want, without worrying about whether it was correct or not.
However, while knowledge is power, it is also cumulative. This means that after we've acquired knowledge, we continue to learn more. As we get smarter, our brains become more sophisticated. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now move on to the third point. Knowledge isn't static. Knowledge is ever-changing. Every day, scientists discover new facts, theories, and ways of thinking. There are always new discoveries.
Our culture is particularly dependent upon technology which allows us to access knowledge instantly. Technology allows us to save vast amounts data and share it between millions of people across the globe.
Globalization is changing the way that we view technology. Globalization refers simply to the process by which ideas or products spread beyond borders. Globalization has made knowledge accessible to everyone.
Access to information from anywhere on the planet is possible thanks to the internet. Everybody can read books and watch movies. They can also listen to music, play games, or surf the internet. All of these activities require knowledge.
Information is becoming more accessible and more specialized. You can find thousands of websites that offer advice on subjects such as finance, health, business, sports, and travel. These websites provide information on just about every topic.
There are likely to be only a few websites offering automotive-related products or services if you try to search the internet for a car. Instead of thousands of sites covering every possible topic, there will be only a handful of sites that are focused on cars.
This specialization is because experts in particular fields can create and distribute valuable knowledge. Experts are often experts in a specific field. Experts can also produce content of high quality that is targeted to their particular audience.
Because consumers don't need to scroll through endless amounts of information, they can focus on a specific niche. Instead, they can focus on a small number of sites with lots of useful content.
Experts also have the advantage of specialization. They can build strong businesses around this expertise. The buyer of a book expects the author will be knowledgeable enough to explain the subject clearly and concisely. He expects the author to understand his message.
An expert who does not specialize risks losing out to potential customers who expect him be knowledgeable.
The scope of specialization doesn't stop at one area. Many people today are experts in many areas. One might be an accountant, lawyer, doctor, teacher, or other specialist. Not only are we likely to be a parent or spouse, but also friends, family, and fans.
Some experts say that the commonality of specialization makes it impossible to succeed in many different areas.
So, how do you become a specialist in multiple areas? The answer is simple: practice. You have to put in the time to learn. You can make great progress if you continue to work until people recognize you.
Many industries today are dedicated to helping others accomplish this goal. Some courses, workshops, seminars, conferences, and even schools teach people how to gain knowledge quickly.
What can we learn by Abraham Lincoln's example?
Abraham Lincoln once said, "I am slow learning; very quick forgetting."
He knew how important it was to keep learning because he understood that there would come a time when he would need to unlearn old habits and embrace new ones.
The same goes for businesses. We will hit roadblocks sometimes, and get stuck in unproductive ruts no matter how many times we plan for our success.
That's why it's crucial to seek new ways to grow and evolve constantly. If nothing else is important, we must learn more, even after we have reached the pinnacle.
Lincoln was the right person. He recognized that while he could become more effective in his business, he couldn't stop learning.
There are two types entrepreneur. Those who stay busy and those who stay smart.
Those who are busy concentrate on growing their businesses. They spend their time on product development and marketing, as well as customer service.
While they may feel they have accomplished something worthwhile, many times they don't. Unless these entrepreneurs are also focused on staying smarter, they won't achieve sustainable growth.
What makes successful entrepreneurs different from average entrepreneurs? The ability to quickly adapt to changing circumstances.
Successionable entrepreneurs look for ways that they can improve their products or services when faced with difficult situations.
The average businessperson, however, will continue to use outdated methods that don't work. They won't change until their business is destroyed.
For success, you need to be skilled in both adaptation and self-reflection.
What can our failures teach us?
When you make a mistake, don't worry about it too much because it's a learning experience. You'll learn something. However, it is possible to correct a mistake. You don't have to worry about the small things. There's nothing wrong in making mistakes. All of us make mistakes.
Although you might feel embarrassed by a mistake you made, it doesn’t matter how bad you feel. It is how you deal and learn from your mistakes that matters the most. You will let your mistakes bother you. However, if they are seen as opportunities for growth you will come out the other side stronger.
Recognize your mistake and move on. Don't dwell on it; instead, focus on the next step. Keep moving.
You don't need to dwell on your errors. Instead, learn from your mistakes and look for ways you can improve. Learn from your mistakes to improve your future.
Successful Inventions Made by Accident
Inventors make mistakes. But, how we handle those mistakes will determine if our inventions become great successes and failures.
Invention is not an accident. Each invention was created intentionally. An accidental invention is not possible.
Invention is an intentional act. A deliberate decision to create something new. A solution to a problem. Someone's quality of life will be improved.
Understanding that mistakes are not inevitable is the key to invention success. Instead of trying to avoid mistakes, learn from them.
Although it would be nice to think that invention is easy, it's not. Invention requires hard work and persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
It means you have to spend a lot more time thinking about and trying out different ideas. What do people care about? What do they really need?
These are the questions you need to ask. These questions will help guide you in deciding what kind of product/service you should develop next.
You must let go of all preconceived notions. All assumptions about the world's wants and needs. Listen to your potential and current customers.
They must learn what they are looking for. Not what they tell themselves they want.
Once you have identified what they want, the next step is to design a way that you can give it to them. This is where invention begins.
Do we have to learn history in order to avoid making the same mistakes as before?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We make mistakes and fail to learn. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle to mediocrity.
History repeats itself when we believe the same old stories. Our world is conditioned to believe there are immutable laws and fixed truths. These laws are unchangeable and we have no control over them.
This is a way to stop us from thinking critically. From challenging authority. Questioning authority. We don't grow if we don’t question. And when we don't grow, we stagnate. Stamina is when we continue to make the same mistakes.
But history doesn't repeat itself because we make the same mistakes. History repeats itself because we don't learn from our errors and keep making the same mistakes.
It is possible to break the cycle of history repetition. You can change the way you see the world, and your perspective by realizing that nothing is fixed in stone. Nothing is unchangeable. Everything is constantly changing.
Accepting uncertainty is the key to breaking this cycle. Accepting that things may go wrong. Accepting that failure may be possible. Accept that failure is possible.
Accept that you may not reach your goals. Accept that you may not achieve your goals. However, it is important to keep working towards improving.
Holding on to the past will keep you stuck. If you insist on the existence of fixed truths, then you will never move forward.
Freedom is only possible if you are willing to let go. To move forward, you must give up control.

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
The Suez Canal was built in 1869 by Ferdinand de Lesseps, who wanted to connect Europe and Asia through his project. To do this, he built a canal across Isthmus of Suez. It allowed ships from Europe to travel to India and China. This process required building a series of locks and dams along the way. He visited Egypt multiple times, and there he met with Khedive Ismail Pasha in order to finance the project. But, upon his return to France, it was discovered that Napoleon III has been overthrown and the Second Empire has taken over, with no interest in such a large-scale project. He was there for three years before the French government offered to finance the project. After the defeat of the British at the Battle for Omdurman in the Sudan War, 1859, the British signed a treaty that allowed them to access the Red Sea via Suez Canal. This was opened in 1869.
This project opened up trade routes, increased international commerce, and led to the development and integration of many countries around world, including Canada and Australia.
The Suez Canal enabled people to travel much more efficiently than before. It used to take weeks and months to cross Isthmian Peninsula. But now it takes only days. People could travel to places such as Paris, London and Rome without having to go through dangerous storms or long sea voyages. In addition, the Suez Canal shortened the distance between North America and Europe by almost 3,000 miles, making it easier for people to move back and forth. These features made the Suez Canal a major transportation project.
Unfortunately, the Suez Canal created problems for the Ottoman Empire by dividing it into two parts. This eventually led to the First World War. The British used the Suez Canal as a weapon against Germany during World War II, while the Germans attacked Britain with their own version of the canal. The Suez Canal was re-established under Egyptian control. However, the British held the land on either end.
After the Second World War ended, the Suez Canal continued to be an important part in global trade until 1948 when it was closed by the Arab-Israeli Conflict. Both sides were reluctant to take action against the other at first because they feared that one side might use force. Israel eventually seized the Sinai peninsula in 1967 from Egypt. The Suez Canal was then closed to all shipping but military vessels. This closure was in effect for four years, until President Sadat opened the canal to civilian traffic in 1973.
