Early Capitalism
Banking System and Founding of Dynasties
Today we live in a capitalist society. The economy is based on free competition and private ownership of capital. In other words: All people are responsible for their own well-being and can become rich if they put in enough effort. This is impossible or even forbidden in other economic systems. In communism or socialism, for instance, everything should be owned by everyone, roughly speaking. In capitalist societies like ours, on the other hand, supply and demand determine the price, and everyone strives to acquire possessions and thus wealth. But this has not always been the case.

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.
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.
