Staatssymbole
Flag, Anthem, Coat of Arms
Currently There are 194 countries or states on our earth. Every state has its own state emblem, for example, a national flag. It is a symbol of the history of a country, of its situation or its culture.
The flag is of special significance for soldiers. They hoist it – that means they raise it on a flagpole. By hoisting the flag the soldiers symbolically salute their country, that is, their state every morning.
Quote soldiers
“Flag Parade. Stand to attention. Raise the Flag!“
“Raise the Flag!“ is a command in the language of the army. Just like “Stand to attention“, at which the soldiers show their attachment to the state by standing still next to the hoisted flag. It does not matter whether a storm is raging or snow falling or the sun shining – the flag is saluted.
By the way, the term flag applies only when it actually is a piece of cloth that flies.
Besides the flag, every state has its own national anthem. It is also a symbol of the specific
state. The anthem is a song describing the state, its history or the values and wishes of its residents. The police band plays the German national anthem. It tells of desirable goals such as “unity“, ”justice“ and ”freedom“.
Our laws are passed in Parliament, in the German Bundestag. It is located in the capital Berlin. Here, above the lectern, is the Federal Eagle. As the German “national coat of arms“ the Federal Eagle is also a state symbol.
Quote Gero Kellermann, Academy for Political Education, Tutzing:
“State symbols are emblems of a state. They concretise the state – for example by national colours, the national flag, the anthem, the coat of arms and the seal. National holidays, the capital and specific decorations and medals can be state symbols, too.“
State symbols: flag, anthem, coat of arms.

Ceramic
Ceramics are indispensable in our everyday lives. We eat from ceramic plates, drink from ceramic cups, use tiled ceramic bathrooms. But how is ceramic manufactured? The film reveals the secrets of this fascinating material! We get to know more about the beginnings of ceramic in the Old World of Egypt and Mesopotamia, about Greece, China and Rome. We gain interesting insights into the valuable earthenware and are also shown the exquisite further development of the "white gold". Today this versatile material is irreplaceable in industry, too. Whether in space or as an easily compatible substitute in medicine, ceramic is applied in many places.
Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
Inclusion
Madita is eleven and blind. She does not want to go to a special school but to a regular grammar school. She says she feels "normal" there. Jonathan is eight and has a walking disability. He likes going to the school where he lives. Here, his best friend sits next to him. Max Dimpflmeier, a teacher who is severely deaf, explains that school life is not easy. Quote Max Dimpflmeier: "You don't want to attract attention, you want to avoid saying that it is necessary for you that 70 people adjust to your situation." People on their way to inclusion.
