Great Disasters II
From Concorde to Titanic
A disaster occurs when the balance inherent in a particular phenomenon is disturbed. This may happen either because a new powerful force comes into play that triggers the disaster or because a small – even tiny – causal factor interferes in a situation with an unstable equilibrium and manages to achieve an enormous effect. Be it fate or negligence, one fact remains: when major catastrophes occur, man is always involved.

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.
