Final post part B

Overview of the Class
When I registered for German culture class I had no idea about German. During the semester I have learned a lot of thing about German. First, I learned about the states, my group presented three states and I learned about the other states from the other groups. Second I learned how the Dudesche Hanse started, and it was one of the greatest organizations in the world. It was in the 17th century and it’s still remembered in some companies such as Lufthansa, the German airline. Third, we read the book All Quiet on the Western Front. It was about the war how young men goes to the war and either they don’t come back, or they come back and they feel like they don’t have a life because the war changed them. I learned about some German’s investor. For example Otto Hahn, he discovered the first example of the uranium. Also Karl Benz, he invested the first automobile with combustion engine. Finally, I learned about the Red Army Faction (RAF). West German government considers them a terrorist organization, because they are involved in bombs attacks in 1973 to 1995. I enjoyed taking this class, because I have learned a lot about something I had no idea about it. I liked the way that each group present a different topic so we can learn from each other and sharing ideas about the topics.

            The baader meinhof Complex is a German film was made in 2008.  The film was written by Bernd Eichinger. This film was written based on a book written by Stefan Aust, the book has the same name. In 1967, Shah of Iran also known as Reza Shah, he was the leader of Iran. He visited German in West Berlin to see opera. A group of young Germans didn’t like the appearance of Reza Shah. They shoed up to object his appearance. One of the German protesters was killed. The result of murders a German citizen made a lot of people to join the protest. One of the people who joined the protest was a journalist name Ulrike Meinhof. She wrote articles critical of the Shah earlier. The journalist inspired Gudrun Ensslin and Andreas Baader, and they went on to bomb a department store. Meinhof and her group went to Jordan to train. The group came back to German as Red Army Faction (RAF). West German government considers the RAF as terrorist organization. RAF bombings attacks killed a lot of innocent people for no reason. The RAF was involved for more than 200 bombs attacks in 1973 to 1995.
