Development of Space Travel
The conquest of a new world: the first satellite, the first man in space, the first steps on the moon – pictures we all know. But the triumph of space travel holds hidden secrets. The military projects appear to come from Hollywood films like “Star Wars”. For years the Soviets and the Americans have exploded nuclear bombs in outer space, tested killer satellites and planned military interventions from space. Behind the scenes, such dangerous experiments with the aim of military space control are still conducted today. Documents kept secret for years by the secret services of the superpowers and published only shortly ago show how often and under what conditions the world was on the brink of a Third World War. In 1953, when Khrushchev was the successor to Stalin in the Soviet Union, people were able to breathe again.

Internet Addiction
The film consists of two parts. The first part is the 15-minute short film “In the Net”. It describes the problem of excessive Internet use in a humorous way, in particular the risk of losing touch with reality when chatting. The second part illustrates with three real persons how Internet addiction can develop and the problems encountered by those who are afflicted. The authentic statements are commented by an experienced therapist. For many pupils, the issues addressed here are related to their everyday lives. What is a “sensible” use of the Internet, where does pathological addiction start? In contrast to addiction to alcohol, nicotine or drugs, the public seems to be largely ignorant of the problem of this addiction, which is not related to any substance abuse. The film provides material for discussion in the classroom (crossdisciplinary) and can be used as a basis for the formulation of prevention strategies.
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.
Tolerance
“Tolerance means being generous and kind to other people and helping them, too.”
