Monetary System
Currency, Foreign Exchange and Central Bank
For many hundreds of years, means of payment have been used for the exchange of goods. Initially, shells, silver or gold were offered as payment. Today money still fulfils the same purpose, but its form and complexity have changed profoundly. Original soundtrack Prof. Dr. Timo Wollmershäuser, ifo Institute: “The most important function of money is that of a means of payment. Money usually consists of banknotes, coins or maybe money in our bank accounts. Basically, we use money every day to buy things. It’s our means of payment, so we can purchase goods and services in a supermarket or in stores with it.” With money, a distinction is made between money in the bank, the so-called credit money, or cash. Cash is still very popular with people. Original soundtrack Dr. Jens Weidmann, President of the German Central Bank: “It is a simple and safe means of payment, and many people appreciate it because they don’t need technology for it and they don’t have to disclose any personal information.” There are over 160 cash currencies around the world. The currency zone defines the area of validity of the respective coins and notes. Original soundtrack Prof. Dr. Timo Wollmershäuser, ifo Institute: “This is regulated, for instance, with the Bundesbank Act in Germany. It includes a section according to which the euro is the legal tender in Germany. I think there is a similar regulation in every country of the world. They all have laws determining what currency, what means of payment has to be accepted by shops for purchases.”

Oh, what’s that? Original soundtrack Thissen: “As our children grow up in a media world and naturally handle the media, they should also be a topic in school.“ An older child says the point is that they don’t just load down apps but create things themselves that haven’t existed so far. Hi, I’m Jana. A propeller hat. I’ll put it on. Now I’m no longer a simple rhino, but a flying rhino. Original soundtrack Thissen: “It’s exactly the great flexibility of tablets that promotes very personalised and adapted learning.” Original soundtrack Welzel: “It’s fascinating to see how the children grow with their products and how they always want to improve them.” The Westminster Abbey is a church in London for the royal family. Original soundtrack Welzel: “And?“ They think it is ok.
Rights and Obligations
Three girls of different ages: Anna is 17, Paula 15 and Lena 13. Before the law, their respective ages have consequences – because children and adolescents have different rights and also obligations.
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.
