Hereafter
A girl paints her idea of heaven. Angels welcome the dead people to paradise. There, near to Jesus, you can live and play. You also meet deceased relatives again.

Floods
Most of our earth is covered in water. Without water, no life. The water on our earth is in a constantly renewed global cycle. By evaporation the water gets into the atmosphere, by atmospheric circulation the evaporated water is further transported across long distances and returns to the earth as precipitation. Climate change, however, alters this hydrological cycle. Climate change intensifies the disparities in the global water supply and increasingly causes droughts and floods, respectively.

Soil
“To be brought back down to earth” is an expression we use when someone needs to come back to reality. Just like the air to breathe, the soil is taken for granted and simply there – we do not need to think about it. However, it is an extremely complex, sensitive structure and not only the crucial production factor for farmers but their basis of their existence. Ultimately, the soil is the vital basis of life for plants and, directly or indirectly, for animals as well as us humans. Starting from the relevance of the soil, the film clarifies the diverse, mutual relations with other elements of the landscape. In this cinematic exploration, the manifold, soil-forming factors and processes such as, for instance, decomposition and humus formation are explained just like the geographical basic terms “soil profile”, “horizons” and “soil type”. Over the past 150 years approximately, a profound change has taken place in agricultural production, which was essential to provide a stable, high-quality sustenance of the growing population in the industrial states. The DVD also shows that heedless human interference into the soil ecosystem has brought about irreparable consequences.

Butcher
Food is the basis of human life. Its diversity and quality are decisive for our health and well-being, thus also providing the basis for a good quality of life. It is a positive challenge to take on that kind of responsibility by choosing a career in this sector. A butcher’s job is such a challenge, not only with respect to the handling of the food itself but also with respect to the contact with customers. Butchers don’t just sell their products but also give advice to their customers and, in addition, the contact to business partners and public authorities is of considerable importance. Hence, this job is extremely versatile and never boring. Some on-the-job training in an internship provides the opportunity to get to know this profession better and to find out whether you are suitable for the job and whether you feel comfortable with your choice. It is important that a job opens up good career prospects for young people, thus building a bridge to an economically secure future.

Artificial Intelligence
Intelligent machines not only carry out predefined work steps but also learn from experience thus developing their own problem solving strategies. In addition, they can pass on their knowledge to other machines and interact with them. Artificial intelligence is pure software which, combined with various sensors, takes further decisions from the data thus obtained. Artificial intelligences have already conquered our everyday lives. When we have bought something online, an artificial intelligence could have ensured that we receive the ordered product on time. Because in many large companies machine brains help with logistics, accounting and customer service. Even at the doctor’s or in hospital we may come across artificial intelligence. Because sometimes it assists physicians with the diagnosis of diseases or in selecting an appropriate therapy. An AI can also be helpful in prognosticating the chances of recovery.

Industrialization
This DVD treats the different working and living conditions of people in the Ruhr valley around the year 1900 and refers to the thesis of the sociologist Li Fischer-Eckert. She conducted interviews with working class women on their living conditions in the workers’ housing estates in 1911 and 1912. Based on her findings, she divided the workers in four classes: The first one has a “cosy home without luxury or deprivations”, those in the second class live “on the verge of deprivation”, the poorer workers “are defeated by unfavourable conditions” and those in the fourth class live in “complete neglect”. With the kitchen-cum-living-rooms set up in the Ruhrland Museum, which are shown and described in the film in an impressive way, a direct insight is offered into the workers’ lives. Furthermore, work in heavy industry and mining, the strict reign of the employers as well as the changes in social policy and the workers’ fight for their rights are discussed.

Great Disasters II
A disaster occurs when the balance inherent in a particular phenomenon is disturbed. This may happen either because a new powerful force comes into play that triggers the disaster or because a small – even tiny – causal factor interferes in a situation with an unstable equilibrium and manages to achieve an enormous effect.

Noble Gases
Xenon, Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton and the radioactive Radon belong to the noble gases. These form the family of noble gases as the elements of the eighth group of the periodic table. All of them are colourless and odourless, non-inflammable and non-toxic. Their most striking chemical property is their inertness. This can be explained by their electron arrangement, termed noble gas configuration and represents a particularly stable and therefore low-energy state. The noble gases are to be found in scant amounts in our air from which they are also distilled. Helium is mainly extracted from natural gas. In everyday life, we encounter noble gases for example as shielding, filling or buoyant gases and in fluorescent tubes. The shell model describes the structure of the atoms. It is based on the distribution of electrons in restricted areas at a fixed distance around the core of the atom.

Goethe‘s Faust I
Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is still considered the most important work of German literature today. Even after 200 years, its still very lively reception bears witness to that fact.
