Ah yes, reminds me of watching the Dr. Massey tapes, all of them in one sitting, especially Program 3 - "What you are is..." which separates generations along those lines:

"As Massey discusses value programming, you’ll discover how significant events have shaped the value systems of different generations - and you’ll learn how to work better with individuals by viewing each in light of his or her past. This program will help reveal how value systems and prejudices are formed. You will learn to handle personality obstacles. 145 minutes"

I'm surprised you can still buy those tapes on DVD for a mere $1,350.00; or, rent them for five days for just $475.00.
