Politics of the USA
Electoral System and Distribution of Power
The United States of America. The nation’s political power is centred around the Capitol in the capital Washington D.C. This block encompasses the most important government buildings. Under the dome of Congress, both parliaments of the federal government are housed. The White House is the private and official residence of the President. Some claim that he is the most powerful man in the world. For the German US correspondent of the news channel n-tv, the White House is an almost daily background for his reports on current topics. Today, even turbulent weather conditions do not prevent him from reporting on the current political situation from there to Germany. Today the topic is, as so often over the past years, Afghanistan and the foreign policy of the US. It is the domain of the President of the United States. Here, he has far-reaching powers.

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.

Computer Games
This film covers the topic of computer games in a variety of ways and from many different angles. Apart from the fascina- tion of computer games for users, the historical development as well as the production of computer games are described. The established genres are introduced, the guidelines of the German BPjM are explained. In light of recent public discussions, a neutral overview of the pros and cons of playing computer games is given, and different kinds of player behaviour are outlined. In this film, the pupils will recognise many aspects of their favourite pastime that encourage an independent, constructive use of this medium and reinforce their media competency. The film and teaching material are very closely related to the real-life situation.
