Federal President
Highest Office in the State
The Federal President holds the highest office in the Federal Republic of Germany. Quote Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier: “Mr. President, dear competitors, Ladies and Gentlemen, …“ The current acting president, Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, was elected by the great majority of 931 members of the Federal Assembly on February 12, 2017. Quote Dr. Norbert Lammert: “And for Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier 931 votes…“ He has no government controlling function in the political system of the Federal Republic of Germany. He is meant to represent, not to govern, thus effectively promoting and communicating Germany’s political interests and political actions in the world . Quote Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier: “I thank the members of this Federal Assembly from my heart for the encouragement with which they have sent me on the way to the highest office of the state today. Their decision fills me with deep joy and my high regard for this office will remain undiminished.“ Quote: “Please take a seat!“

Air Traffic
Being able to fly has been a dream of humanity from time immemorial. But it does not even date back a century that people actually started being able to travel through the air. Since the 1960s, the number of flight passengers has been constantly increasing. Thus, the airspace is no longer dominated by birds but by man-made flying objects.
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.
Podcasting

Especially in computer science, ethics and language courses but also in all other subjects, modern media are a valuable pedagogic and didactic asset. This DVD uses the example of podcasts to demonstrate how the possibilities opened up by new media can be applied in the classroom and how the pupils can be taught to handle them in a competent and target-oriented manner. The film is aimed at supporting the use of podcasts at school and encourages making them. This also requires the ability to find information on the Internet and assess it.
