Machtorte und Machtformen 2 So, zu Beginn möchte über die Macht der Religion und besonders über Martin Luthers Rebellion sprechen. Lange Zeit übte die katholische Kirche in den deutschen Königreichen, Fürstentümern und Kleinstaaten ihre Macht aus. Der Kaiser oder König regierte in Abhängigkeit von den von ihr auferlegten Regeln. Aber im 16. Jahrhundert gab es eine Veränderung. Martin Luther, der deutsche Reformator, war mit der katholischen Kirche nicht einverstanden. Er kritisierte die Missbrauchen des Klerus und hat die evangelischen Kirche grgründet. Dann der politische Macht ist ein Macht das wir in Frage stellen müssen. Ludwig der II. war ein bayrischer König der 18. Jahre alt. Sein Machtideal war der französische Sonnenkönig, aber die Zeit des Absolutismus war schon zu Ende. Deshalb zog er sich in seine Traumwelt der Musik, des Theaters und der Architektur zurück. Er widerstand nicht. Während Ludwig II fügte sich, haben Widerstandskämpfer wie Sophie und Hans Scholl ihre Leben gegen die Diktatur aufs Spiel gesetzt. Nachdem sie der Hitlerjugend angehört hatten, kämpften sie in der Widerstandsgruppe „Die Weiβe Rose‟ gegen die Diktatur der Nationalsozialismus. Im Unterricht haben wir den Filmbeginn von „Sophie Scholl – die letzten Tage‟ gesehen. Sie stellt gegen das System, gegen die Macht, die Autorität, weil diese Werte nicht ihre waren. Zum Schluss möchte ich über die wirtschaftliche Macht sprechen. denn ein Land kann nur politisch stark sein, wenn es auch wirtschaftlich gut entwickelt ist und über führende Wirtschafts- und Industriezweige verfügt. Es gibt verschiedenen deutshe Firma die einen weltweit Erfolg kennen wie im Autoproduktion VW, BMW, Opel... und auch Haribo, Milka, Nivea, Playmobil, Bosch... Danks diese Firma hat Deutschland Macht im Wirtschaft. Dazu gibt es im deutsch Wirtschaft ein anderen Machtforme : das ökologische landbau. Nie war das Angebot so hoch. Deutschland hat nach die USA den gröβte Markanteil für Ökologischemarkt. Also ist Deutschland ein wichtig Figur auf diese Markt. Wird Macht ausgeübt, um das Leben sinnvoll zu organisieren, die Menschheit weiterzubringen, dann ist das gut. Wird die Macht aber missbraucht, um Menschen zu unterdrücken, Kriege zu führen und die Gesellschaft ins Unglück zu stürzen, so ist das negativ. Es ist wichtig, dass jede Form der Macht überall für gute Zwecke genutzt wird.

idea of progress 2 On second thought it's not as good as it seems to be. Of course it's great but it's so good that we can stay hours glued to a computer screen (on average of 3 hours per day). We are so addicted to that some of us have to make some digital detox, and we really realize how dependent we are when there is a massive power outage. I was what happened in south California, it gave rise to trafic jams, no electricity...Many personns were completly lost. In contrast with what I've said befor the ties created thank technology are most of the time only virtual, we are more cut from other people because: we spend more time with virtual friends instead of real friends. And some comportements on social networks can give birth to problems, due to disrespectful behaviours. Tis modern technology also pollute and destroy the environnment. This the message of no impact man who wanted to raise awarness. He made a movie on his experiment : he tried to live 1 years avoiding electricity, cars, producing waste... Accordingly there way of life really improved. An other default is the impact on culture, it decreses, we spend a lot of time glued to our computer without books, we don't our homework, neither activities with family and real friends... all tings that peole discover again when they participate a digital detox. And in addition there is a globalization of culture. Every body know the same things : actor, movie, music, restaurants for instance there are only 119 coutries without Mc donalds). As a conclusion, we can't do without technology however we must avoid the excesses. Modern technology is necessary to work, to be healthy... And it 's present everywhere (even no impact man can't because he stills use computer and warm water). Besides new green technology can help to protect environnement : electric cars, solar pannels...

Idea of progress The world has always been a changing world as there are progress and decline Progress is an advance, an improvement and can take place in several areas like medicin, social (education, civil rights), environment, sciences, computing... the technology is linked to this idea of progress since it is by definition : the tools and skill which are or lead to a progress. That's why technology is both a sector where there are improvement and a tool which allows improvement. But we can open up the debate on the extend to which technology is useful for us notably modern technology. Modern technology is the latest great enhancement in the matter of technology. During the 1st industrial revolution, we invented the steam, boats (especially steamer whiche allowed us to travel longer), textile, metallurgy. After that, with the 2nd IR electricity, oil, and oil based products, automobiles, appliances were more and more used. And now we are in the 3rd IR with the growth of computing, ICTs, internet... Actually modern technology and electricity positively impact our life. Indeed it leads us on the way to have a better life with the pursuit of happiness. When the shutters close alone, the temperature is always perfect you just think that domotics is a little bit like magic. It 's also a powerful education 's tool : digital tablet, computers are important as they help us to improve skills which will be necessary in our future life moreover we can thanks to them stock the knowledge (so that it won't be forgotten), it represents a source of information where everything is at our fingertips. In addition, modern Technology can be used in hospital to heal, prevent risks, analyze... It's also an incredibles ocial tool. It creates ties between people since we can communicate, stay in touch, exchange, speak, share or show his life. This is how social networks are used. Furthermore it ties cultures : we can learn things from all over the world, discover cultures, music, cities, way of life really easily. And everything goes quicker such as email, actualities, economy, ...
