Goethe‘s Faust I
Interpretation and Production
Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is still considered the most important work of German literature today. Even after 200 years, its still very lively reception bears witness to that fact. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was born in Frankfurt on the Main on 28th August 1749. He came from a distinguished middle-class family. The Goethe family library contained about 2,000 volumes from almost all fields of knowledge. His father was Johann Caspar Goethe, a Doctor of Laws and Imperial Councillor. His mother was Catharina Elisabeth Goethe.

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.
