Domestic Cat
Breeds and Behaviour
Nobody has actually counted all of them but it is estimated that there are about 200 million domestic cats in the world. In Germany alone live abou 14 million. That makes it the most popular pet in this country. It is not easy to describe what makes the cat so appealing to humans. On the one hand, cats are playful, affectionate pets which seek the proximity of humans and love being petted, cuddled, fed and tended by them. On the other hand, they are of a wild independent character, which they have retained despite the long time they have spent with people as domesticated pets. Although they are called house cats, they are still predators deep inside that go hunting in nature. Due to this apparent contradiction and a certain inscrutability and inexplicability of their nature, they are often endowed with an air of mystery and magic. This also explains why in fairy tales and stories cats so often appear as magical creatures. The ancestors of today’s domestic cat originated from the Egyptian region. The Egyptians were also the first people to keep cats as pets about 3,000 years ago. Cats presumably sought the vicinity of human settlements because there it was easy to get at their prey, such as mice or rats. And people were grateful to the cats because they hunted mice and rats. The veneration of the Egyptians went so far as to worship a cat goddess, who represented gaiety and warmth.

Air Traffic
Being able to fly has been a dream of humanity from time immemorial. But it does not even date back a century that people actually started being able to travel through the air. Since the 1960s, the number of flight passengers has been constantly increasing. Thus, the airspace is no longer dominated by birds but by man-made flying objects.

Copyright
Copyright is subject to constant change to keep up with technological advances. This film enables the viewer to grasp the basic principles of this extremely intricate matter. By way of introduction, the film defines what an author is, what kinds of works there are and how long a work is protected on principle. Then the fundamental rights of an author are cited and it is shown how these are exploited in our times. In the third chapter, the respective rights are illustrated by way of practice-oriented examples of books, photos, music and films. Here, of course, an emphasis is laid on the field of education, taking into account the latest case law within the EU and Austria in particular. A further chapter highlights the problems arising with the Internet and goes into the citation law and pirate copies. All in all, in this way the viewer is made familiar with the most important basic terms and their meanings. Comprehensive worksheets and additional accompanying material invite us to deepen our knowledge of the subject.
