What Parents Need to Know
About Modern Marvels
Parents need to know that this educational documentary series covers a broad range of topics; some are completely innocuous, while others touch on more complicated and mature issues, including war, slavery, and sex (images of sex toys and all). That said, even the trickiest issues are dealt with carefully and remain appropriate for most middle-schoolers. Disturbing scenes are usually illustrated using archival photographs and artistic renditions (for instance, the episode on "death devices" shows illustrations of men and women subjected to stoning, the rack, and other early death-sentence methods). Descriptions of death can be graphic, but they're not sensational.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the "modern marvels" they'd like to know more about. Is there a particular cultural institution or invention you're curious about? Aside from watching a TV show, how else can you find out about subjects that interest you? Who can you talk to about getting more information on subjects that fascinate you? Do you think shows like these tell the whole story? How and why do you think episode topics are chosen?
