Beschreibung

After six years of history at school there might still be things you would like to know. You might wonder what issues were perhaps relevant in between “important” events. This course is designed to bridge the gaps and create a complete picture out of the world history jigsaw puzzle you have in your mind.
However, history is more than names of politicians, places where declarations were signed, dates of battles and facts and figures that we deal with and – after some time – most likely forget.
In addition to bridging the gaps we will analyse how accurately the Spartans are portrayed in “300” or how different the effects of modern terrorism can be interpreted by different filmmakers (“Munich”, “The Baader Meinhof Complex”, “World Trade Center”).
This course is especially recommended for students who intend to take history as an oral Matura subject and would like to strive after the “total recall” effect.
