Kapitel 6

To be honest, I am not quite surprised with the things that I have read in the articles.
Some German friends that I know have all claimed to have lost virginity at the age of 16 by the latest. I do not believe that it is just Germany; it has become rather a social norm in almost all of Europe. On the populist media magazine, I guess I could see some differences in American magazines such as the Times and Newsweek. The American magaziens tend to be more political than those of other nations, and I think that's the way the popular means of information should be. Each person must be held accountable for one's belief rather than having others feed them what they could be brainwashed to believe. The closed door thing was somewhat unusual, but I think this is because Germans like to make previous arrangements before they actually meet(being a bunch who do not particularly enjoy surprises).

Welcome to our class blog!

We will be using this blog throughout the semester for two kinds of assignments:

1. Once per chapter, the homework plan will direct you to post a response to the culture readings for the chapter on the blog.

2. Roughly every other week, the homework plan will direct you to post here for your Abenteuer mit Deutsch (AMD) assignment. First you do a fun activity that involves German, then you post about it. You should spend an hour total on this (maybe 45-55 minutes doing something, 5-15 minutes posting about it). See Was ist ein AMD, AMD Ideen and Beispiele for ideas. This should get you excited about the kinds of things you can do!

Whenever you post something, please include your name and the name of the assignment (e.g. AMD2, Kultur5) as labels. See "Blog: How To" for more details!
