'''Inspirations for teachers how to implement the PapillonMethod in any digital text.'''

The PapillonMethod combines the content of the GOLD DUST adventure directly to the Internet and generates by adding about 124 topics (in the form of keywords), 752 cross-curricular educational links, 170 highly qualified educational videos a dynamic [http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2011/08/01/networked-knowledge-combinatorial-creativity/ widely interlinked knowledge world], imparted in an emotional, vivid and understandable way.

Enjoy the fantasy adventure [http://einstein21.org/Online_Book/C1.htm GOLD DUST] as an application example. All topics (keywords) and links are suggestions that you can change and show how the PapillonMethod works. The educational links revolve around a topic and illuminate it in all of its depth. The flexible content is subject to constant change. That means more content, more context and more fun.--[[User:Papillon|Papillon]] 18:10, 7 January 2013 (UTC)--[[User:Papillon|Papillon]] 12:10, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

If someone is not interested in a topic, he will find it difficult to learn. Papillon therefore arouses curiosity in interesting cross-curricular themes and opens the door to the internet. Behind every door students can find a surprise, against one's expectations. Surprise is a positive emotion. Neuroscientists are of the opinion that positive emotions support the learning process.

=='''Chapter 20: [http://einstein21.org/Online_Book/C20.htm The Dragon Throne]'''==
Do you believe in an objective, universal truth? Is morality innate and universal?


==='''Keyword: Superbia - Pride'''===
Harvard psychologist Marc Hauser's argues that humans have evolved a universal moral instinct, unconsciously propelling us to deliver judgments of right and wrong independent of gender, education, and religion. Experience tunes up our moral actions, guiding what we do as opposed to how we deliver our moral verdicts.[http://discovermagazine.com/2007/may/the-discover-interview-marc-hauser]


Superbia - Pride
How to introduce universal values?
Catching sight of goodness, opening up oneself more to goodness, who does not want that? If only we did not have our daily existence with all of its dangers. Everyone can freely decide whether he helps someone with a problem or takes somebody for a ride, whether he will share or rather be greedy, whether he will hold the door for someone or let the door slam in his face. But when people cultivate goodness, they can also pass this on. That is why special care should be used in determining the difference between good and evil as clearly as possible.
In order to do justice to our task, I first had to make a basic decision – either to give priority to the values or to follow the route of virtues. Virtues are not values. Values are geared toward societal change.


begins harmless with superior attitude and conceit. Who only believes his own truth, that he is '''worth more than others''' rises to the Lord people, see Nazi Germany, torture and crimes are the result. Holocaust is the worst example of pride/superbia.
Because the topic is to be incorporated in a large context, only rules of conduct which universally apply were possible. They should not be specified for sociological implications nor for a specialised area but rather symbolise constancy.
Who feels like Lord people is not afraid to humiliate others. Pride ranging from bullying, exclusion of other people about abuse of power, to murder. '''"The dosage makes the poison."'''


Holocaust Remembrance Day [http://www.un.org/holocaustremembrance/][http://www.un.org/en/holocaustremembrance/educational.shtml],
Once the decision had been made in favour of the virtues as universal values, the seven mortal sins [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sin] were a possibility in contrast. One might ask oneself instinctively whether the does not sound old-fashioned and fuddy-duddy. In other words: An antiquated custom. On the contrary. These terms are provocative because what sounds like a term from moral relics, from another age, is in actuality timeless and up-to-date: Mortal sins are the gateways to torture, crimes and despair.

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C2PGCQxKvA History Channel] narrates in 7 episodes in a very vivid and philosophical manner how 7 deadly sins work and why they are much more destructive than every negative feeling. --[[User:Papillon|Papillon]] 19:44, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
Headlines from The New York Times illustrating how the seven deadly sins are still alive and well.
However, to focus one’s own actions on goodness, the virtues and the mortals sins must first be named and then precisely examined in order to make a conscious and voluntary decision to act virtually.


The exact designation of the mortal sins inspires an awareness on what the cause of all evil is, then he who enters through the door of the seven mortal sins encounters his dark, frightening side. The conflicts of this world provide copious examples. This means abuse, torture and murder, bribery scandals, assassinations, child molestation. The list is long. Children should be able to exactly distinguish what is bad for them and what is good for them. A strong character can more easily say no to drugs and violence and offers a shield against the temptations which are so strong that people believe things that they should not believe.


'''Following the tradition of personifying passions, I wanted to highlight the portraits of sin. The characters brings people closer to the concept of sin. I tried to express the nature of lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride and creating a more immediate experience with each sin in opposite to the seven virtues.'''


=='''Chapter 21: [http://einstein21.org/Online_Book/C21.htm The Logic of Evil]'''==
Personification offers an impressive portrayal of events through which sins, unlike the rather boring and seemingly compliant virtues, have tricky and fascinating possibilities and shows how their alternating interplay has an effect on cultural information.
The mortal sins are not out-dated moral terms but rather have a timely quality because they are frighteningly current. It is particularly for this reason that people have forgotten their danger because
pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony and lust are declared harmless as completely forgivable and human forms of conduct. "It is therefore extremely important that it be made clear to children and adolescents what is right and wrong. The school and the parents must act in a manner that is oriented to the children and adolescents so that they can learn as early as possible what is good and bad. The adherence to clear rules should be consistently required", notes the psychologist Bettina Schubert, consultant for violence prevention for the Berlin school administration. (quoted from: Die Welt, November 10, 2004)


You may think that the concept of deadly sins is a religious one and do not apply to you, but you may call them negative tendencies if you want. The fact is that you can find them in more or less intensity within most people. The root of most of our economical, political, cultural and personal problems lies in in universal principles, such as pride, anger, greed, envy.. Current examples to find is a good exercise to see the destructive power.
The capital vices of pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony and lust are not outdated and have not been made irrelevant. Some examples:


==='''Keyword: IRA - Anger'''===
'''The current global financial crisis is a crisis of virtues. Virtue is vital to the wellbeing of society. [http://scienceofvirtues.org/blogs/news/archive/2009/05/18/a-crisis-of-character.aspx] Greed has brought the worst downturn since the Great Depression.'''


Wrath/anger, in its purest form, presents with '''self-destructiveness, violence, and hate''' that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries. Wrath may persist long after the person who did another a grievous wrong is dead. Feelings of anger can manifest in different ways, including impatience, revenge, and vigilantism. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sins#Wrath Wikipedia]
Who does not want to be subject to this weakness must be trained early. As a child, in the family, at school.
History, math and languages are for the brain. But personal responsibility, moral responsibility, responsibility to society proceed from the heart. One need not be a fan of the ancient world to recognize the benefits of the four cardinal virtues which Plato once designated as the definition of the good being: Wisdom, Justice, Courage, Moderation

Envy is a propensity to view the well-being of others with distress, even though it does not detract from one's own. [It is] a reluctance to see our own well-being overshadowed by another's because the standard we use to see how well off we are is not the intrinsic worth of our own well-being but how it compares with that of others.

Without values, the rule of law and accountability no dominion endures. Enforce the rules even in complex societies, in order to stabilize countries and protect against unrest and corruption.

'''On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall came down. The border that for decades had divided a nation into two worlds was now open.'''

Today many Germans say, it was not all bad in the former GDR.
And they think about the free childcare. But most was not good. They seem to have forgotten: no freedom of opinion, no freedom of trade, no freedom of travel, no freedom of assembly, no free elections, some parents were forced into adoptions, no free development of personality, job prospects were limited.... at the end the state was broke. The wall has generated hate and desire for freedom.
What do students know about the difference between dictatorship and democracy? Freedom and democracy are values for all of us.

My mission is to inspire and to fire the imagination.


==Global access to knowledge - educational resources worth sharing ==
Einstein once said: “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

Latest revision as of 11:14, 19 September 2018

Inspirations for teachers how to implement the PapillonMethod in any digital text.

The PapillonMethod combines the content of the GOLD DUST adventure directly to the Internet and generates by adding about 124 topics (in the form of keywords), 752 cross-curricular educational links, 170 highly qualified educational videos a dynamic widely interlinked knowledge world, imparted in an emotional, vivid and understandable way.

Enjoy the fantasy adventure GOLD DUST as an application example. All topics (keywords) and links are suggestions that you can change and show how the PapillonMethod works. The educational links revolve around a topic and illuminate it in all of its depth. The flexible content is subject to constant change. That means more content, more context and more fun.--Papillon 18:10, 7 January 2013 (UTC)--Papillon 12:10, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Important: It is not necessary to read the entire page. The chapters on this page accompany the chapter which you are currently working inside the Internet Book (UTC) --Papillon 10:36, 6 January 2013 (UTC) --Papillon 13:08, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

The Internet book GOLD DUST is written under an open license [1] and gives everyone the freedom to use or modify the material to suit his or her own needs.

Hello Sj, thank you for your introduction and welcome to the Online Schoolbook “GOLD DUST. Papillon 17:16, 14 December 2008 (UTC), Papillon 12:22, 29 December 2012 (UTC)


Author and Conceptual Explanations

I’m the author of the “PapillonMethod” and creator of the online schoolbook "GOLD DUST". My name is Hardyna Vedder. Based on the idea of writing a childrens book a study project developed [2]. Thirst for knowledge and interest in topics taken from literature, history, philosophy, art, as well as openness for science, environmental topics and new media have influenced the development of the Online Schoolbook GOLD DUST.

This project is the result of many years development work. It includes:

Fantasy Story „GOLD DUST” [3]

Online Schoolbook „GOLD DUST” [4]

"Papillon" [“Butterfly”] educational concept [5]

Project study [6]

Testing the model project successfull in practice [7] at the Ellen-Key Grammar School in Berlin [8]

Expert report from the Berlin Technical University [9] with regard [10]

Einstein21 – The great dynamic book of inspiration, where imagination meets reality - interactive, interlinked, transferable to all digital texts, updateable and adapted to the 21st Century [11]

Online Platform – Learning in the 21st century [12]

Since 2007 Papillon participates in the educational project “One Laptop per Child". --Papillon 12:48, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

My native language is German. Please feel free to correct my English and give me your feedback and comments. I’m happy to answer your questions.

Now I want to introduce the "PapillonMethod" and present what is possible with this emotional and simply concept.

Here are some hints and thoughts, to explore the Online Schoolbook GOLD DUST - a new system of education on the basis of ancient wisdom and modern research. Try it out and invite curiosity and hunger for knowledge in the classroom. Conditions of Use:Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0

By using the PapillonMethod learners get a mix from structur (text of the virtual world) and freedom (Internet).

Why imparting knowledge through narration?

The answer lies in the way the brain works: we remember things better when more than one sense is involved. That is particularly true when it comes to stories rather than simple informational documents. What has no emotional coloring is easily forgotten. --Papillon 17:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Children love stories. This makes knowledge transfer as simple and effective. --Papillon 17:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Why very distantly related links?

Analog view of a topic does not encourage thinking in contexts. Making thoughts more flexible also helps, to get closer to the solution of a problem. A wide, cross-subject education and cross-border thinking challenges children to ask questions, show curiosity and to change their perspectives. --Papillon 17:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

If someone is not interested in a topic, he will find it difficult to learn. PapillonMethod therefore arouses curiosity in interesting cross-curricular themes and opens the door to the internet. Behind every door students can find a surprise, against one's expectations. Surprise is a positive emotion. Neuroscientists are of the opinion that positive emotions support the learning process. An information may be better absorbed, noticed and be reproduced. --Papillon 17:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

The learning clicks represent a unique and innovative form of conveying knowledge. They are the result of an intensive combined achievement. Text and learning clicks are so tightly interwoven so that both elements can develop their effect as just one unit. However, the goal is not to link the text in general but rather how the text is linked. That is what is special about it. Links without story-based text don't work in such great manner we have learned in our praxis tests. --Papillon 17:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

The teacher uses the links specifically for knowledge transfer. He determines the kind of content, standards of education or skills that should be transported. The teacher's role is changing. He gives the direction and orientation, while the Internet is the classroom and the student works independently. Later Students find their own favorite themes, discover them with links, create their own knowledge planets and add they to the story.

Learning clicks are variable and can be adapted to the age group. Younger students approaching the subject playful. Older students work with demanding sources of outstanding quality.--Papillon 17:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

We must ask ourselves: what should our children learn and what values we want to give them. Topics close to society's heart. Therfore all keywords and educational links are variable and suggestions and are subject to constant change. --Papillon 17:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Internet literacy

is impossible without a minimum level of personal experience in dealing with the technology. Where young people can acquire these skills? A fortuitous result of activities in their leisure time, or all systematically in school? Although we live in a media society children often do not know how to deal appropriately with the media. Through the support of the teacher, the children learn to distinguish important from the unimportant, genuine from spurious. And what about information overload? My suggestion, learn how to google. It makes a difference what keywords I type in the search engine, in order to achieve the best result. --Papillon 19:31, 29 December 2012 (UTC)


General

Education Level: K-12

  • The PapillonMethod enables learning with imagination [13] and time to deepen a topic from different perspectives. --Papillon 19:53, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
  • The preoccupation with the key words (the penetration into the depth central themes) pays for itself in an acceleration of apprehension, and not only during school but for the entire life.--Papillon 17:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Particularly suitable for team- and project work. The role of the teacher is being transformed. He is providing the direction and ensures the point of reference while the Internet becomes the learning space and the student can work independently.--Papillon 17:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Due to the switch between digital and traditional work methods, the productive capacity to reflect and the joy the students experience from experimentation as well as the ability to critically assess the media are stimulated and promoted. Unique learning success becomes possible in this sense by combining technical affinity and the desire to read.

Concepts which combine what is information with creative methods of thinking and working boost the attention and motivation of the students and open up new ways from the to express themselves and create. The fairytale establishes the self-imposed delay between the onset of desire and its eventual fulfilment which can be increased through interaction. The desire for learning is awakened.--Papillon 17:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)


Chapter 1: Phantasos

Keyword : earth

How to discover "earth" cross-disciplinary? Begin the topics as often as you can with emotional videos (YouTube). So you immediately arouse interest and curiosity. The use of videos promoting clarity and understandability. Introducing TED-Ed: Lessons Worth Sharing, TEDEd learning materials After that imparting knowledge about the links. Let the students look on the subject from different perspectives, as an island which they circumambulate.

Example: Topic Eearth:

Astronomy 1 2 3 4

Definition earth 5

Geography 6

Geology 7 8

One-Planet Future 9 101112 13

Different Cultures [14] [15] The Google Cultural Institute helps preserve and promote culture online. With a team of dedicated engineers, Google is building tools that make it simple to tell the stories of our diverse cultural heritage and make them accessible worldwide. --Papillon 21:50, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

A wide, cross-subject education and cross-border thinking challenges children to ask questions, show curiosity and to change their perspectives. "Children must be given the opportunity to view a certain aspect from different perspectives. This is how they learn the same content in all of its complexity and learn in the process that different perspectives can result in different assessments. Prof. Wassilios Fthenakis [16]--Papillon 17:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Worth sharing: YouTube for Schools: Join the Global Classroom Scoolube --Papillon 17:40, 3 January 2013 (UTC)--Papillon 20:48, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Keyword: listlessly like a wilting leaf

Introduce new interdisciplinary areas and foster dialogue with science: Chronobiology [17] "Chrono" pertains to time and "biology" pertains to the study, or science, of life.


Chapter 2: The Gold Hat Officials

Keyword Nubia

Nubia was always important for Egypt, because from Nubia came the gold. Ancient Gold of the Nile

There is more behind the links than students expect, meaning that the effect of the Internet to amaze and astound can be used for learning success. The learner is surprised that even the most comical ideas from the fantasy story can find an equivalent in reality.

For example: Nubia is not only a fantastic name, Nubia was an ancient high culture

Keyword: the official for good thoughts

Theme: how one comes to good thoughts... ...when you emulate successful people, if you take part, when you are interested in science, if you ask why, when you play, when you help, if you are curious in new media, when you hear music, when you leran languages and so on...

Keyword: time

Theme: The Theory of Relativity

The relativity theory is an abstract and dry issue, difficult to understand... The pictorial representation of complex scientific content promotes general understanding and allows a bridge between teachers and learners. [18] Well-researched multimedia content contributes significantly to the intelligibility [19]

The student can repeat the content until he has completely understood the topic. This method of conveying knowledge is not feasible in regular instruction and has a decisive advantage: Gifted students are no longer bored because they understand the material very quickly and those who are less gifted no longer have a reason to interrupt the class because they are not following the learning material. Everyone can process the instructional materials according to his or her own aptitude. Strong and weak students will be promoted together.

Keyword: towers

Dynamic Architecture: Rotating Tower

The boundries of architecture are new defined: Buildings are now able to change their shape and be part of environment.--Papillon 18:53, 3 January 2013 (UTC)


Chapter 3: The Twinkling Lantern

Keyword: Gordian Knot, mentioned in subtitle

The Gordian Knot is a legend of Phrygian Gordium associated with Alexander the Great. It is often used as a metaphor for an intractable problem solved by a bold stroke ("cutting the Gordian knot") [20] Today there are to solve many Gordian knots, for example: in family and personal life, in a moderate ecological lifestyle, in the evolution of human consciousness... According to their age and experience, students can learn to philosophize about the most pressing issues of our time... A good topic for team- and project work in which the Internet provides a treasure trove of material.

Are you on Pinterest? How do you use it in your classroom? In the Classroom Students can set up boards for projects [21]--Papillon 21:38, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Keyword: Root

Another example how to impart knowledge interlinked? Here the topic "Root": Students learn all about the topic "roots" interdisciplinary:

in the biological sense, [22] [23] [24] [25]

our astronomical roots [26]

our family [27] [28]

and historical roots [29] [30] [31] [32]

Let the students dive in as deep as possible in the thematical focus and see the theme as a vast network of tree roots, that everything connects to everything else.

Keyword: place in life

You've got to find what you love, that's the question of your life. --Papillon 17:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Examples: Links from the fairytale refer to the selection of a career, on how to get good ideas. Those in later semesters can be guided from fairytale to the theory of relativity, evolution, nanotechnology and ethics. Complex learning content is shown on web pages in a simple and easy-to-follow manner in a film or in an interaction. That is the great advantage of the Internet compared to the static imparting of knowledge. --Papillon 17:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Keyword: water

Water is a complex system. Every drop of water is a sensitive part of global water system that fullfill many tasks. Here is an example of very useful learning-link, that represent the potential of the Internet for international learning: Water as an universal, international topic. [33] [34] Drinking Water & Ground Water Kids’ Staff [35] Open Ocean [36]

The work of modern researchers create the grandiose knowledge of tomorrow. For example: Chewang Norphel. He has found a way to create artificial glaciers. If they melt in the summer, Norphels artificial glaciers supply the farmers with life-giving water. In dry regions ice is worth a fortune. [37]

Keyword: I don't know what I want

Students are in search of their identity. To find out his own interest, the Internet can support generously, because it is full of positive examples and suggestions how to learn mathematics, languages, biology, etc Khan Academy. On YouTube are many useful things to find. One can learn dance, sing, draw or play an instrument. This is the real power of the Internet. Every village is connected with the world's knowledge. Most content for free for the benefit of all. --Papillon 20:06, 3 January 2013 (UTC)


Chapter 4: A fateful Birthday

Keyword: baroque

Baroque is also known as the era of stage and finds his glorious climax at the court of Louis XIV. Elements of staging we find in the Media-Society of the 21st Century, for example election campaign, product advertising, fashion,Harry Potter as a brand, etc. Why not education to stage? --Papillon 17:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

World history videos make history alive. Bring history to life with fascinating videos and interactive content. Examples: History Channel[38] Discovery Channel[39] you tube [40] BBC [41] National Geographic [42] --Papillon 17:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

To arouse interest in a subject, I suggest starting with a video. The student is emotionally addressed, his attention is aroused. After this are the facts and at the end stands the presentation of the choosen topic by students. --Papillon 20:23, 3 January 2013 (UTC)


Chapter 6: The Messenger from Heaven

Keyword: I'm curious ..... and everything interests me...

Curiosità. Curiosità is an "insatiably curious approach to life and unrelenting quest for continuous learning". Great minds have one characteristic in common: they continuously ask questions [43] throughout their lives. Leonardo's endless quest for truth and beauty clearly demonstrates this.

How To Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci [44] [45] [46]

The Divine Michelangelo [47]

Be creative, be "Einstein", be a great explorer. „I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” Albert Einstein How to Be Creative [48] How to Become a Young Inventor [49]

Students to make curious in lessons is mission of innovative content concepts to reduce the rate of school failure. PapillonMethod is such a solution concept. By linking real and virtual learning environments Internet becomes the classroom and passion for learning awakened. --Papillon 17:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Keyword: Wind

We must ask ourselves: what should our children learn and what values we want to give them. What topics are in the 21 Century really important? Renewable energy, climate change... How to save energy [50] --Papillon 19:26, 7 January 2013 (UTC)


Chapter 7: The Unfulfilled Wish

The Papillon method is able to bind students permanently to the subject matter and to deal self-motivated with the individual topics we have learned in our lessons.

Why: Topics are global and essential. Learning material is interactive and can promote interest in complicated scientific subjects.

Example:

Keyword: Sun

Sun [51] Interactive Universe [52] Solar Energy [53]

Solar In the Schools - Solar Car Race [54] --Papillon 19:26, 7 January 2013 (UTC)


Chapter 8: Lilies or Airhead

Keyword: Push

How would you resolve conflicts? [55] How to deal with someone in school who hates you for no apparent reason? [56]

What is Project Learning Tree? Project Learning Tree (PLT) is an award-winning environmental education program designed for and by educators working with students in pre-kindergarten through grade 12. The program uses the forest as a "window" on the natural world, helping to focus awareness and knowledge of all aspects of the environment, and our place within it. PLT helps prepare students to make informed decisions about conservation practices and natural resource use by practicing problem solving and critical thinking skills. [79]

So students learn more about their neighbours religions, their similarities and to accept differences. They also have a better overview of the religions. With the understanding of other religions they are able to communicate better. Children must be given the opportunity to view a certain aspect from different perspectives.

Chapter 18: The Beginning of All Evil

Keyword: Lying, Cheating, Stealing

Theme: Life skills and ethical standards

Teachers told me that children can no longer distinguish between good and evil. Thus arose the idea to set a focus on this issue and to bring it into the public perception.

Sensational I find in this context the scientific evidence from Dan Ariely[112] Professor, Duke/MIT that the mere thought of a moral authority promotes honesty[113].

Some ideas to deepen the topic:

Lie, cheat and steal: high school ethics surveyed [114]

When nobody is looking [115]

Teens: Sometimes You Just Have to Lie, Cheat and Steal. Teens say lying doesn't make you unethical [116]

Encouraing kids to do right thing: Use books 'Read stories, particularly fairy tales, which tend to have moral messages,' says Dark, who works for Lyn Fry Associates, a consultancy that runs positive parenting courses.[117]

Therefore the GOLD DUST story is an important and valuable part of the project. Fairytales convey to us a magical world through which the children can easily distinguish between the rules and rituals of reality, good and evil. They are an appropriate means of evoking fantasy and creativity and thereby promote the moral and social competence to make judgments.

Chapter 21: The Logic of Evil

You may think that the concept of deadly sins is a religious one and do not apply to you, but you may call them negative tendencies if you want. The fact is that you can find them in more or less intensity within most people. The root of most of our economical, political, cultural and personal problems lies in in universal principles, such as pride, anger, greed, envy.. Current examples to find is a good exercise to see the destructive power.

Keyword: IRA - Anger

Wrath/anger, in its purest form, presents with self-destructiveness, violence, and hate that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries. Wrath may persist long after the person who did another a grievous wrong is dead. Feelings of anger can manifest in different ways, including impatience, revenge, and vigilantism. Wikipedia

Anger is a burning sensation. Who is guided by anger, easily exceed a dangerous threshold. Raw violence and cold-blooded murder are the result. In violent temper friendships are broken, people killed,[128] attacks perpetrated. The better and more deeply you understand, when you slip into another skin, the harder it is to be condemned and not to forgive.

Keyword: laws

Keyword: INVIDIA - Envy

who make careers, possessions accumulate, beauty, family or friends owns, threatens the envious gaze of neighbors. From envy will intrigue spun, fates sealed and marriages destroyed because one is bursting with envy and jealousy [129]

Envy is a propensity to view the well-being of others with distress, even though it does not detract from one's own. [It is] a reluctance to see our own well-being overshadowed by another's because the standard we use to see how well off we are is not the intrinsic worth of our own well-being but how it compares with that of others. [Envy] aims, at least in terms of one's wishes, at destroying others' good fortune. plato.standford.edu

Keyword: GULA - Gluttony

Gluttony is not just pure lust eating but is aimed at a general immoderation - an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. Gluttony means over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, drink, or wealth items to the point of extravagance or waste. Wikipedia

An example for Gandhi's: Pleasure Without Conscience [130] is Overfishing – A global disaster

Why are we so fat? Americans enjoy one of the most luxurious lifestyles on Earth. Our food is plentiful. Our work is automated. Our leisure is effortless. There's just one catch: It's killing us. [131]

Greed is the inordinate desire to possess wealth, goods, or objects of abstract value with the intention to keep it for one's self, far beyond the dictates of basic survival and comfort. It is applied to a markedly high (inordinate) desire for and pursuit of wealth, status, and power. Wikipedia

Couples have lost each other, children lost their parents, parents lost their children and many lost their lives. Families were separated. A country was divided. How many dreams could not be dreamed and no hope that something will change. But the unbelievable happened. During these weeks 20 years ago the people voted with their feets. Thousands of young families left the country. And then came the wonder of Berlin. On November 9th, 1989 the Berlin Wall falls.

Testing the model project successfull in practice

Since February 2005, the model project “Papillon“ [169] has been successfully tested at the Ellen-Key Grammar School in Berlin[170] and is applied continuously.

Some voices:

How does that concept differ from other regular methods? “Students who use the “Papillon” method learn more selfresponsible, more motivated and focused as others. They often forget to disturb the classes because they pay attention to what is happening in class. Their fantasy, their interest is attrected and sometimes I was no able to calm them down in their fantasy.” Miss Günther, teacher and project leader, Berlin, Germany

Is there any measurable success? “The measurable success lies in the fact that most of the students of these courses improved. In some cases it will show up in the diploma. I can say: It was a lot of fun for the students and for myself and I wish to see more often such kind of teaching.” Miss Günther

Students report why they like the “GOLD DUST” adventure so much, how it becomes an online book and by that an experience.

“It continuesly contains exciting things that make you continue reading, because you want to know for sure what happens.”

“Not so old-fashioned and boring but gripping and funny and all in one.”

“The classes are much more relaxed and reflect a total different atmosphere then just sitting in class, the book infront of you and reading.”

“We use to look up what is mentioned in the book, for example Ozelot, the Ozelot was mentioned and one asks, Ozelot, what is Ozelot and then one looks it up in the internet where you have the possibility to search for it and then you look up google and there you find something about it and I like it, that there is this connection to the book. I think that kind of connection to the book is good.”

The students agree that the concept works.

Ulrike Hammer, Teacher and Mr. Drinkewitz, Teacher, Luise- und- Wilhelm-Teske Grammar School, Berlin-Schöneberg [171] have recognized the advantage of Papillon Method and expressed as follows:

“The students enjoyed it. The history teacher, Mr. Drinkewitz, was also quite enthusiastic. He meant that it's amazing how many educational content in such a short time the students have collected, remembered and edited. He does not reach with its (conventional) method. I can only confirm."
