"There are no secrets for the millennial generation. There’s no sense of privacy. If I want to k | Indiana University Alumni Association | English |  | |
| 2. | Mini University Conversations: Politics and The Daily Show | 00:00:00 | 4/10/2008 | Jon Stewart is a comedian. So why do people tune into his show for their news and politics? Julia Fox discusses both the cynicism and the substance present in The Daily Show and the niche role comedy news shows play in the democratic process. “Roughly 20 percent of the 18- to 30-year-old voters were relying specifically on comedy shows like The Daily Show as their primary source of news.” | Indiana University Alumni Association | English | | |

Using two small 1"x1" cubes of chicken, fish, pork, and beef per person, a presentation of 6 wines are used to complement (or not!) these different foods. Although food and wine pairing can become a truly overdone and overwrought, if not pretentious venture, learning the genuine basics can be fun and wonderfully satisfying for nearly anyone! | Indiana University Alumni Association | English | | |
| 7. | Mini University Conversations: The Jesus Birth Stories in Matthew and Luke | 00:00:00 | 2/26/2008 | Chancellor Ken Gros Louis has used methods of literary criticism to analyze the stories of Christ’s birth in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.

We as consumers are bombarded with information and advertising about the health benefits of chocolate.

| 16. | Winter College Conversations: Karl MacDorman | 00:00:00 | 1/8/2008 | Interview with Karl MacDorman, Associate Professor, School of Informatics, IUPUI. "I think android is something very strange, because actually it is not really something that we can say exists, but it is more like a goal. So, the goal is to build a robot that is indistinguishable from a human being. And, I think that you can interpret that on many levels, not just looking the same as a human, not just producing humanlike emotions, but having the same interaction as well. And, there’s no robot y | Indiana University Alumni Association | English | | |
