Economic Cycles
Fluctuations of the Economy
»Growth is not everything, that is true. But without growth, everything is nothing. Without growth, no jobs; without growth, no reform of the social security systems; without growth, declining wealth; without growth, more and more people will fall by the wayside.« Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel, February 2010 Economic growth is on everybody’s lips and almost every day we come across the notion – assessed both positively and negatively – in the news from the worlds of politics and business. Some believe growth is a prerequisite for full employment and the royal way to a happy affluent society, whereas others warn against the consequences of the lifestyles and consumption patterns concomitant with growth.

Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
Youth Movement
Dancing until your feet hurt: Here, at the meeting on the Hoher Meissner near Kassel, 3,500 participants from Boy Scout associations, youth and Wandervogel groups from all over the German-speaking region have gathered. They want to celebrate, simply get to know each other and commemorate a historic anniversary.
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.
