For my friends, is the same.

Is not it irresponsible to let a generation growing up ...

which has no hobbies? However, a hobby we all have:

Should I explain to my children later how Facebook works ...

when they ask how it was before?

That will probably not be necessary because they themselves will be computer geniuses ...

still less have a life than we do.

I get 510 euros. Of this I have 310 ...

No, not even 510 euros. That's when my transport.

Of which 510 Euros I pay rent at 330, 50 and 45 on energy for transport.

So I like 80 euros. 50 euro per week, I needed to eat.

That will not.

For me, one month ... -I would like to help, but can not.

Well, thanks anyway. A nice weekend.

I'm not going to vote.

All parties promise mountains of gold before the election ...

and then it is:
Sorry, we have to raise tax rates.

Why should I vote? Life still nothing.

I do not live the way I live now. I need every penny four times.

I want to go shopping without having to pay attention to prices and be able to choose brands.

And a pair of pants from 70 euros that I like ...

I want to just buy it.

Write down license plate? -which Is more common here.

He let his dog out.

I want an apartment or buy a home and make something of my life.

I want my children will soon be able to offer what I have not had.

And especially my wife. I would later have a family.

I wanted to be a pastry chef.

At night work and take things day with my family.

Trips to the zoo or the zoo.

That's what I wanted to be a baker.

The view is not bad here.

When it's done, it gets even better.

There's someone at the window.

Those are the sheriffs. -They Make sure we control.

I think there is a crisis parallel to the climate crisis:

A global crisis in human resources.

I think this crisis parallels that in nature.

And the cost to resolve the crisis be catastrophic.

I'll give a few examples.

In California last year ...

some three billion dollars spent on university education.

And there's nine billion spent on the prison system.

I can not imagine that more criminals are born in spe ...

and studenten.

When people live in poor conditions, they slip.

I was regional champion ...

and champion of Westphalia and West Germany.

I was actually pretty good.

When I boxed, I could let my problems. I tried anyway.

When I saw the punching bag ...

I pounded like crazy and I hoped that the problems disappeared.

But they returned as soon as I left the gym, or perhaps the next day.

That's how it is.

I have to constantly watch out that I do not sliding down and I keep fighting.

I say to myself, Patrick, make your way out of this situation.

And I'm always afraid of what's coming tomorrow.

What I eat and drink tomorrow? How can I create my own place?

How should I feel home somewhere? That can not now. That is not in there.

Patrick is a training and looking for a job as a security guard at army or police.

His boxing career he had to give up because of injuries.

It is no longer possible to make the world by means of small reforms ...

to change.

The structures are so hardened ...

you only by drastic action can achieve something.

If you do not want a revolution from below, you must intervene hard from above.

There must come revolutions.

Structural changes.

We need people ...

which the old education ...

break off and create room for something new.

I do not hate school.

I am critical because it could be much better.

The task is simple: prepare students for real life.

But they must approach the task from a different angle.

No small change, but try something completely new ...

because we do not have much to lose.

Yakamoz Kara Kurt is a student at a Hamburg grammar school.

Her complaint letter was published in August 2011 in Die Zeit.

The motto 'faster, further, higher "...

economically has reached its limits.

And also in the education system, there will be limits.

It is an illusion to believe that people who graduate with beautiful figures ...

also have been developed.

At McKinsey see what's important.

It is very important to study at the right university ...

in order to create the right conditions for your future career.

Sometimes I also find it very confronting.

Because people can naturally escape.

They can say:
I will not be chained.

But how many young people do the same?

And how many go there like lemmings ...

to schools only preach capitalism ...

and exclusively argue that you should make the most of your career.

Why are so many young people who do not point ...

to connect to immerse themselves in that prison?

Of course you're like 25 or 26 years ...

quite able to form their own opinion.

You can say:
Is this what I really want?

This is what matters in life?

On the other hand, you may wonder ...

some teachers and parents gave them about what is life?

The focus on economics is one of the biggest problems ...

of the current era.

Thomas Sattelberger on his 63rd retired ...

and abides now bending with education and social projects.

This used to be West Germany and just across East Germany.

In between there was a division.

This was the so-called dead band.

Nobody would have thought that it would ever disappear ...

but it happened anyway.

We think competition is so important that we always used to prepare our youth.

As a toddler. But actually it should be the other way around.

Actually, we need our children for as long as possible the opportunity ...

to stay out of the competition.

Children come from a very different world. For a child plays no role league.

A child is just at the beginning of his life ...

very closely linked with another human being.

Before birth, the bond between mother and child really close.

In the nine months in which the brains are formed ...

These networks are so deeply embedded that they never disappear.

Therefore the desire for connectedness essentially never disappears.

It is a true work of art that our society children get so far ...

that they do not strive for connectedness ...

but that they are set up against each other.

The curtain goes up.

Yale keep someone engaged in infant research.

In her research she discovered something very special.

Like this?

It still needs a little more gradually.

The second time you go into here.

Want to play with a cube?

By six months of age, all babies choose the helper.

This also ties in with the first experiences of each baby.

Without the help of others he or she did not become six months.

The second part of the research is exciting.

The babies are six months old. They are now one year.

Want to play with a cube?

Want the yellow?

Choose twenty percent of the babies for the plunger.

Want to play with a cube?

Research shows that this behavior is not innate.

This behavior is also not genetically determined.

The children have learned from others.

It's not their brains. It is not heredity.

It is up to us. We lead by example.

There is a great breakthrough in the development of life:
