Times have really changed since this training film. I wonder what training films /video could be about today in our politically correct world. Here are some possible titles for training films today. " "How to speak in public and other generalized terms ", "Cussing as a second language", " plumbing problems in biology ", and of course " How not to offend in mix company ".

A few centuries ago, dating was sometimes described as a "courtship ritual where young women entertained gentleman callers, usually in the home, under the watchful eye of a chaperone,"[8] but increasingly, in many Western countries, it became a self-initiated activity with two young people going out as a couple in public together...
