Consists of segments: (1) "The Classical Ideal". The origins of Western art are traced to ancient Greece through Kouroi and Korai figures, as well as by the architectures of the Pantheon. From Greece to Rome through the Hellenistic period, the program focuses on the new artistic approach to human form and violent emotions that reached its pinnacle with the altar of Zeus at Pergamun. (2) "A White Garment of Churches". Examines Romanesque and Gothic churches as evidence of the values of the societies that created them. Shows the effect of monasticism and pilgrimage on Romanesque church architecture. Uses Gislebertus's sculpture at St. Lazare in Autun to show the medieval focus on Heaven and the afterlife. The Gothic architecture, sculpture and stained glass at St. Denis and Chartres are discussed as evidence of a new theology and profound social changes during the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. (3) "The Early Renaissance in Italy and the North". (4) "The High Renaissance". Covers key aspects of the High Remaissance, including the advent of the artist as genius (Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael), the rise of Rome as a center of artistic vitality, and Venetian preoccupation with the quality of light (Giorgione and Titian). Also examines the social turbulence of the late sixteenth century and the reinterpretation of classical architectural principles. (5) "Realms of Light". Examines the divergent themes of the baroque period, including a new emotional appeal as seen in Bernini's 'The Ecstasy of St. Teresa,' Caravaggio's naturalism, Velasquez's multilayered works, and the rise of bourgeois values as seen in Rembrandt's works. (6) "An Age of Reason, an Age of Passion". Covers the move from the rococo period to neoclassicism and romanticism. Relates stylistic changes to the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars. Covers the work of David, Géricault, Turner, Delacroix, and Goya. (7) "Realists, Impressionists, Post-Impressionists". Contrasts Courbet's treatment of subjects from everyday life with the innovations and techniques used by the impressionists. Examines the impressionists characteristic concern with color and changing light and contrasts this with the very individualistic visions of the postimpressionists. (8) "Into the Twentieth Century". Covers the work of the Fauves, the Cubists, the international style, and the Surrealists. Discusses how these movements relate to modern life. (9) "In Our Own Time." Examines why the appearance of abstract expression caused the United States to become a center for the visual arts. Reviews the diversity of styles in the postwar period, including the work of Pollock, Warhol, Oldenburg. Also examines the explosive internationalization of the art world in the 1970s and 1980s.

1996年在韩国全罗北道正准备着冬季奥运会，无奈国际奥委会发来通知由于该地方从来没有参与其中正式项目滑雪，若没有队伍参加滑雪比赛将取消举办资格。为此组织委员会在慌乱中决定马上组织一队滑雪队，请来前任儿童滑雪教练方钟三（成东日）担任起训练专员，并临时召集了五位男生作为滑雪队的“国家代表”，这些所谓的国家代表其实对滑雪一无所知。五位“国家代表”包括：曾是被收养，在美国少儿滑雪代表队曾混过日子如今回韩国寻找亲生母亲的 Bob（河正宇）；一天没有女人都活不成的俱乐部侍应洪哲（金东旭）；一天到晚只在家，非常听渔夫父亲话的无能儿子在北（崔在焕）；担当起家长照顾年老奶奶和年幼弟弟的七久（金基石）；有可怕爱好的七久弟弟锋久（李在应）。这五个无厘头的少年走在一块，担当起参加奥运会的大任。 在不合格的教练带领下，五位不合格的“运动员”开始了艰苦的训练，而且还没有合适的训练场地，大家齐心协力做了一个人工雪地，每天在运动场渡过日子，在雪地上飞翔。 没想到五个性格各不同的热血青年就在这场地上找到了自己的位置，在天空飞翔的瞬间让他们内心触电，原来滑雪的时刻如此幸福。 一番艰苦的训练后终于迎来了奥运会，虽然一上场就受到外国对手的嘲笑和无视，成员们还是以最佳状态参加了比赛。 无奈突发的事件让团队措手不及，但仍无法埋没他们争取举办地的决心，虽然在最后冬季奥运会中无法入选，但却让这五位少年在团结训练中见证彼此的成长，也让韩国有了第一支自己的滑雪国家代表队。那么，这一队无法阻挡的“国家代表”将来在体育界的命运会如何？能如滑雪般飞得更高吗？

张桂容是东北某村的青年团员，工作、学习一贯积极带头。她的丈夫王江，三个月前到山里林区干活去了。在王江走后不久，桂容便被大伙儿选为妇女代表，又当上了妇女主任和卫生委员。这些日子，家里的事全仗着她料理，地里的活也是她顶着干，她还热心带头搞副业生产、群众活动和努力学习文化。可是她婆婆是个旧脑筋，眼看媳妇参加各种社会活动，心里很不满。她想：“现今婆婆都管不得媳妇了，这还像话!”所以她处处都要来难为桂容。有一回，因为村上送公粮，需要很多草袋。副业组把各家的好稻草都买来了，还不够用。桂容准备把自己家的好稻草让出一部分来应急。可是她婆婆宁可拿来烧火，也不愿意卖给他们织草袋，她感到桂容根本没有权利卖稻草。桂容为了不耽误把草袋供应合作社送公粮，就自己作主卖了二百捆。这一来，婆婆对她就更不满意了。牛大婶是个旧式接生婆，她根本不懂什么医药，但为了赚钱，便卖假药、乱给病人扎针，治死了不少小孩。这一次，桂容没收了她的假药，她很生气，便在桂容婆婆的面前讲了桂容一大堆坏话，她是想借桂容婆婆去管教管教桂容，好让她继续卖假药。桂容并没有被她们“管教”住，反把牛大婶教育了一顿。

南高县一把手的位置空半年了，上上下下都以为这把交椅非副县长刘超莫属，刘超自己也做好了大展宏图的思想准备，可忽然间从上边派来一个吴书田，人们都觉得此人来头不小。其实硕士研究生吴书田没什么背景，不过是在面对社会公开选拨公务员时考入省委机关，因不谙机关世事，同领导意见相左，被贬了下来。 　　这个书生气十足的吴书田却是个认真的人，尤其对本县已经司空见惯而熟视无睹的制假贩假活动，毫不妥协。这样一来便触动了以刘超为首的地方势力，他们以维持地方财政为名，凭借其经营多年的人事网络，给吴书田制造了一个又一个困难，他们为了掩盖罪行，撵走吴书田，夺回权利，不惜在吴书田与妻子虞雅之间挑拨事端，编造绯闻，甚至利用车祸杀人灭口。但改革开放毕竟是大势所趋，吴书田在农行女行长王宁、县委办公室主任赵亮等人的帮助下，终于战胜了盘根错节的地方势力，使南高县的工作走上了改革开放、健康发展的轨道。本剧生动细腻的塑造了一位新时代的县委书记的形象。
