World Trade
Conditions, Opportunities, Conflicts
Many of the goods we use every day come from foreign countries and have to be imported into Germany. Without a functioning world trade our range of products would be very limited. Often goods are transported over long distances from A to B before we can use them.
Quote Prof. Dr. Gabriel Felbermayr, ifo Institute:
“Basically, countries can trade in all kinds of goods. These are mostly physical commodities, corn, steel or cars, but also services can be traded. From Germany you can import a banking service, City of London for example, or insurance services, or stream a Hollywood film on your computer or laptop. But there are a lot of goods that are non-tradable, for example houses.“
Due to increasing globalisation, that is the networking and development in all sectors worldwide, a smooth exchange of goods and services is very important for a functioning economy.
Quote Prof. Dr. Gabriel Felbermayr, ifo Institute:
“I think we must assume that most countries in the world have different strengths and weaknesses. Germany is good at making cars but we are less good at developing software. It makes sense, therefore, that we specialise in what we can do well, e.g. cars, and leave those things we cannot do so well, such as programming software, to others, for example to the Americans. And then we exchange these commodities. And as we are good at producing cars we are supplied with quite a lot of software by the USA. By specialising on what they can do well, they can consume more goods all in all. That’s the advantage of trade.“

Mobile Learning II
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.

The Daily Newspaper
Every day, there is a surge of news reaching us via different news channels. In spite of TV and Internet, the daily paper still is one of the most important main sources of news. But how is a newspaper created? The film shows the production of a paper in the course of one day. Starting with the editorial meeting in the morning, in which the topics and deadlines are determined, the film accompanies a journalist during her research work. You can see how a journalistic interview is conducted and what the photographer must consider when taking a press photo. Back in the editorial office, the editor’s work is illustrated, which includes the page layout and the writing of an online article in today’s time. Impressive pictures from the printing centre depict the process from the digital page to the finished newspaper. Together with the comprehensive accompanying material, the DVD is perfectly suited for use at school
