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.

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.
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.
