Resopns to The Baader Meinhof Complex

1. Write a post providing your personal response to the movie we viewed together: Baader-Meinhof Complex. 250-300 words.

The beginning of this movie was a little bit confusing to me.  Before class I had looked it up on Wikipedia to see what this movie was about so I could get an idea of what was going to be happening.  I figured out that it was going to be about the R.A.F. which was the Red Army Faction.  If I wasn’t to research on this before watching the movie I’m pretty sure I would be totally confused and lost on what was happening in the movie.  Like I said, the beginning was really confusing but as the movie went on it started to make more sense to me.  What I got out of it, was that the government in Germany was changing and a group stood up and started to rebel.  The police and the rest of the government didn’t like this so they started to intimidate them with violence.  The rebellions (R.A.F.) thought that if they were going to change anything they needed to speak with action instead of just standing around and talking about changing but not acting on anything.  One group of people decided to do this, and they were caught and imprisoned for it.  When they were in jail, new generations decided to the same things as what they were doing.  I don’t really agree with what they did, and at the same time I do.  I think it was wrong that they vandalized, injured, and sometimes killed people.  It makes sense that they would want to speak with actions but they could maybe have done it in a less harmful way.  At the same time I think it was their only choice though because the government was being so violent too.    

Research on the Rote Armee Fraktion

 2. Research the "Rote Armee Fraktion" RAF and
provide a second post with your findings of
 
- the causes

• Government was seen to be fascist by some German resident
• Group of German residents teamed up to protest against it 
• They were "Communist"
  

- the three generations of activists

• First generation was from 1970 to 1975.  The founders consisted of Brigitte Asdonk, Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, Ulrike Meinhof, Horst Mahler, Horst Söhnlein, Thorwald Proll, Jan-Carl Raspe · Irmgard Möller, Holger Meins, Astrid Proll, and Beate Sturm (Bolded are most famous).
• Second generation lasted from 1975 to 1982.  This generation consisted of numerous people from another group labeled as the Socialist Patients' Collective (SPK).  Most of the first generation members had been captured and imprisoned.  In response to that, new members teamed up to form a second generation.  The key members of this included: Siegfried Hausner, Brigitte Mohnhaupt, Sieglinde Hofmann, Margrit Schiller, Karl-Heinz Dellwo, Klaus Jünschke, Hanna-Elise Krabbe, Friederike Krabbe, Carmen Roll, Bernhard Rössner, Lutz Taufer, Elisabeth von Dyck, Ulrich Wessel, Gerhard Müller, Knut Folkerts, Ralf Baptist Friedrich, and Bernhard Braun.  SPK members probably wanted to join the RAF because they believed that in order to regain social order, a violent revolution needed to take place.  And the RAF was seemed to display that since at the end of it all, there was a death toll of 34 people. 
• The third generation executed a lot more of their actions in violence when compared to other generations.  This generation spurred off when a man by the name of Wolfgang Grams started to visit two members from the first generation in prison.  When he was there visiting, he found the living conditions to be rough and inhumane.  He started to date a woman by the name of Birgit Hogefeld and the third generation was kicked off.  Some of the members were Wolfgang Grams, Birgit Hogefeld, Eva Haule, Andrea Klump, Ernst-Volker Staub, Daniela Klette, Burkhard Garweg, Sabine Elke Callsen, Barbara Meyer, Horst Ludwig Meyer, and Christoph Eduard Seidler.      

- the similarities between current day's terro attacks and the RAF  

Similarities

• Both use terror to create action instaed of using words
• Used to create fear in politics or religion.  But the RAF was for politics and not religion 
• Both needed armed forces to try stopping them
• Attack in their own country
• Disregardful for the safety of civilians
  

Differences

• Terrorists attack in countries other than their own, at times

Story Of the Living Heads- http://www.guillotine.dk/Pages/30sek.html

Credit Goes To----->

The French got credit for creating it, but was really invented by a German engineer by the name of Tobias Schmidt.  Original design was different than the one poeple know today.  It was first used in Paris and was made of 3 peices of wood.  Two peices were used on either side of the blade standing tall, with groves on the inside of them to allow the blade to run through.  There was another peice of timber on the top used as a cross beam.  The blade would drop down the groves, cut the head off, and drop it into a wicker basket.

Architecture is very important for Germany because it can be expressed as a form of art.  Architecture is different than most art because architecture mainly consists of buildings.  It is unique because people are able to walk inside of it and get a good look at how much detail Germans will put into their work.  A great example of how incredible architecture can be in Germany is when you take a look at the cologne cathedral in Cologne, Germany.  The process of building this cathedral started in 1248 and ended in 1880.  During that stretch of time many different artists were able to add different pieces to the building.  The cologne cathedral is a great piece of history for German art.   In the 18th century, the towers were completed and bells were added to them.  in 1794 the Gothic choir was finished the two aisles of the nave were built as well as two storeys of the southern tower.  About 1530 works on the cathedral continued and the building was adorned with furnishings.   During the 18^th century there wasn’t much happening with the building process of the cathedral, this was probably due to Frederick II getting involved in wars such as the War of Austrian Succession.  The 18^th century was probably an important time of the cathedral because there was a big break in the construction due to lack of money.  That means they had a lot of time to think about what to add in the 19^th century and they would work that much harder to get it done.  During that big break the church was used to profane reasons such as being used as a warehouse for troops in the french revolution.  In 1801 the church opened back up again to what its purpose was when it was built in the first place.

Was said to be the first truley powerful king in Prussia, and was known as the soilders king.  He was sucsessful in  making the best army in all of Europe.  They were the most talented and powerful, earing the nick name "Sparta of the North".  Fredrick William I was really big into creating a powerful army to protect Prussia.  In fact he seemed much like a soilder himself.  He was known to sleep in the barracks with the rest of the fighting men and mostly spent his entire career building up the army.  One extent that Fredrick went to in order to create the best army around was to recruit abnormaly tall men into his army.  They would be known as the "Potsdam Giants".

Goethe was thought to be the Shakespeare of German literature, he was also said to be the most important writer in German language, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was also much more than just a poet though.  He was defiantly considered to be a Renaissance man, mostly known for his writing but was very knowledgeable in all sorts of areas including, poetry, drama, literature, theology, philosophy, and science.

Short Biography-

 -Born 1749 and died 1832                        
 - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe probably came from a wealthy family because he received private tutors in a wide variety of subjects such as languages like, Latin, Greek, French, and English.  On top of that he received dancing, horseback riding, and fencing lessons.  Over time Goethe found himself not agreeing with the church thinking it was "hotchpotch of fallacy and violence".  Around that same time he began to enjoy drawing quite a bit, he became very fascinated with puppet shows and really got into theatre and literature.

Career-

- Goethe originally was going to school to become a lawyer.  When attending school there he earned a lot of credit for the poems he was producing on his free time.  It wasn't really until 1773 when he became well known, this time period was known as the Sturm und Drang movement.  During that time he released Götz von Berlichingen mit der eisenen.  Eventually Goethe became very recognized for his influence on literature.  He was invited to Weimar, where he would run many different political offices and still find time to focus a lot of his attention on poetry and writing.

Gender roles of women and men 1700's-1800's

 

Gender Roles (Ideology)

"Gender role is a term used in the social sciences and humanities to denote a set of behavioral norms that accompany a given gendered status (also called a gendered identity) in a given social group or system. Gender is one component of the gender/sex system, which refers to "the set of arrangements by which a society transforms biological sexuality into products of human activity, and in which these transformed needs are satisfied" (Reiter 1975: 159). Every known society has a gender/sex system, although the components and workings of this system vary widely from society to society."

"In many ways gender identity and roles function as any other social identity and role. Every known human society presents individuals with a set of statuses by which members of the society identify themselves and one another. Such statuses may be assigned to an individual automatically, based on the status of his or her parents, or based on some physical characteristic (including ones that emerge through the aging process); such statuses are called "ascribed." Other statuses may be achieved based on the activities and accomplishments of an individual. Scientists used to believe that gender was universally ascribed; today most recognize that elements of gender can be achieved. In either case, gender, like any other role, involves socially proscribed and prescribed behaviors, which may take the form of rules or values. Such rules and values do not determine or control an individual's behaviors absolutely. Usually they define boundaries of acceptable behavior within which there is always variation and room for individual creativity. Most researchers recognize that the concrete behavior of individuals is a consequence of both socially enforced rules and values, and individual disposition, whether genetic, unconscious, or conscious, although some researchers emphasize the objective social system, and others emphasize subjective orientations and dispositions."

"Moreover, such creativity may, over time, cause the rules and values to change. Although all social scientists recognize that cultures and societies are dynamic and change, there have been extensive debates as to how, and how fast, they may change. Such debates are especially intense when they involve the gender/sex system, as people have widely differing views about the extent to which gender depends on biological sex."

The suitable roles, rights, and responsibilities of both men and women in society are based on a gender role ideology.  This perception can usually reflect these attitudes in a specific area. These areas include things such as an economic, family, legal, political, and also social domain. Most of the time, gender ideology theories are one dimensional and range from traditional, conservative, or anti-feminist; to egalitarian, liberal, or feminist. Traditional gender ideologies highlight the values of specific roles for males and females. According to a traditional gender ideology about family, males accomplish their family roles through instrumental, business-like actions and women accomplish their roles through nurturing, homemaking, and parenting actions. Liberal ideologies regarding the family, by contrast, support and signify men and women to be equal and share business-like and nurturing family roles.

All quiet on the westren front review

      In class we reviewed the book All Quiet on the Western Front that we were all supposed to read.  We went over some key topics on what the book was trying to say.  some of those topics were: talking about the author's success from this book, loosing identity after coming back from war, and how people can change when they are put in war situations.
      when talking about the author we went over how he had wrote articles for newspapers and small books that never got noticed.  But once he wrote All Quiet on the western Front it became and instant success and he never wrote another book because it made so much money.  We also went over that when soldiers come back from war and it's completely over with, they will have troubles rebuilding their identity.  It's hard because they have nothing when they come back into society and they have to learn how to adapt back into normal civilian life.  the last thing we talked about that the book showed was that people change when you go to war.  All the friends were youthful before they went to war and once they actualy got there they all became aggressive when they had to fight. 
      
    

Located in North East Germany you will find the second most populous city in the European Union, Berlin.  According to the 2008 census, Berlin has 3,426,354 inhabits.  Berlin is Germany's Capital, it is 344 square miles and its located right by the Spree and Havel rivers.  The most comparable U.S. state in size considering square miles would be Rhode Island with 1,545 sq mi.  Berlin is very small, even though these aren't really comaprable, Rhode Island is the smallest state and therefore makes it the most compareable.   

When people hear "Berlin", they usually automatically think of Berlin as being a special state known mostly known for the berlin wall.  But there are other interesting things that are specail about Berlin, such as its archetecture.   The Fernsehturm stands as one of the tallest buildings in the European Union at 1,207 feet tall.  They also have lots of neat sculptures throughout the towns, one of the more famous ones is the Neptunbrunnen.  Designed and built by Reinhold Begas, it portrayed the Greek God Neptune with four women surrounding him meant to represent the four main rivers that go through Prussia, these rivers include Elbe, Rhine, Vistula, and Oder.  Another interesting fact about berlin is that it's inhabitants are not very religious at all, 65 percent of the poulation is considered to be athiest with now religious preferences.

Media in Germany: radio; homework for Monday 9-20

      When listening to the German radios stations, I noticed they were basically the same exact thing as ours. I could tell they had the same songs, but I'm guessing they were just translated into the German language because I couldn't understand what they were saying.  The beats to their songs were the same as ours tough, so that lead me to thing they're just translated songs.  They have a wide variety of genres to choose from just like here in America too. 

What does it mean when patterns across the Western globe are so similar?  I think it means that once someone starts to prefer one media type over another, the rest of the world will follow. 

Where do cultural differences “survive” if media do not carry them? – or do they?  they survive through traditions.  For example:  Christmas.  media didn't carry annual celebration of Christmas, it was through tradition of Christians.  but now days media is starting to take over it and its not really what it used to be

           

The Black Forest

Best known as the home of the cuckoo clock

First Black Forest cuckoo clocks were created between 1740 and 1750

Who Made It?

Since the 18^th century, people have argued about where the first cuckoo clock was derived from.  Books were written about it and 3 main people stand out in the invention of the cuckoo clock.      In 1796 a man named Father Franz Steyrer wrote a book on how he had passed a clock peddler by a town in black forest who sold some clocks to a bohemian merchant.  This man then examined the clocks and made replicas of his own to sell.  But later around 1927 another man wrote a book about this by the name of Adolf Kistner, he states that no bohemians had a hand in making the cuckoo clocks because Bohemia had no clock making businesses during that time period.  To this day it’s not clear who created the first one and there are no traces of where the first production line of cuckoo clocks came from.  Franken-Niederbayern in East Germany is the most likely spot near the Bohemia incident.  However the Cuckoo clock became famous because the black forest people eventually developed a cuckoo clock industry where they would create new designs, improve and redesign parts of the clock, and make it technically more reliable.   

Cuckoo Clock Features and Different Styles & Models

Schilduhr 18^th Century -this is the earliest cuckoo clock design, usually given as a wedding gift with the groom and brides names painted or engraved on it. No fancy wood carvings, just paint on a flat two dimensional surface. Also this model had no cabinet to box in the internal clock work.  This type of clock was not mass produced and was made in small quantities that would be sold by door to door clock makers.     

Rahmenuhr early 19^th Century -Known as the framed clock, these were also scarce but easier to mass produce thanks to the invention of lithography which was sort of like etching.  This made it easier to create the same exact image in mass quantities.  The pictures on this model of clock were more detailed than the previous version and would feature outdoor scenery, portraits of people, mythology, and religious images.  The cuckoo bird would then blend into the scene somehow and jump out of the picture chirp to the hour of the day. 

   The Bahnhäusle mid 1800’s- This design was inspired by Friedrich Eisenlohr, an architect who is famous for constructing buildings along the Badenian Rhine valley railroad.  This had flat cut outs of vines, leaves and other foliage surrounding the clockwork, later a newer version had spun off this almost identical.  It was called the Jagdstück, which featured even more detail an attention towards the outdoors.  Many times there would be scenes of hunting and animals. 

 Weltgrösste Kuckucksuhr  This gift store is actually a 50:1 scale of a normal cuckoo clock. Its one of the largest attractions in Wiesbaden and is the most photographed stores in Europe.  Every cuckoo clock made here is hand made to the smallest detail, every shingle is hand cut and every wood carving is made individually with no two alike.
