Paris - the Megacity
Savoir Vivre
Paris is the capital of France and located in the heart of Europe.
France is virtually the only Western European country where life is so strongly oriented towards the capital.
Here, all major administrative bodies, headquarters of banks and companies and the population are crowded together in a small space. Almost one in five French people lives in Greater Paris.
Paris is more than just a capital – it is a global city, metropolis and economic centre.
For the French, Paris is the heart and head of France.
ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK:
“Paris is distinguished by its art, life, elegance, diversity, food. Everything is celebrated and enjoyed to the full.”
ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK:
“Yes, ‘Joie de vivre Parisienne’, the joy of living in Paris, is a way of life people here cherish.”

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.
Blogging
The weblog or blog, for short, as a medium is not much older than this century. Blogs came into being in the World Wide Web as ’messages from below’, as web pages from web creators who wanted to share their view of the world with the world. They are short notes, long texts, pictures, videos, which are posted loosely and at random intervals to the world for an undefined public.
Pupils Practise Inclusion
When people come together, no matter under what concomitant circumstances – ultimately, it is about how these people meet and how openly they interact with one another.
