Project n° 580247-EPP-1-2016-1-FR-EPPKA3-IPI-SOC-IN To understand differences Teacher will introduce the film “ The Wave ”. For example: In a modern high school in Germany, today. While the country fails to get rid of Nazi shame, a teacher is holding a workshop on autocracy with his class. After having dissected this barbarous word (what is an autocracy, the conditions of its advent ...), a living class is born: in front of learners curious about everything, the teacher organizes a miniature autocracy, at the scale of the classroom to make concrete in the eyes of teenagers a totalitarian regime. But soon, driven by the high motivation of the students, the system is racing and self-fueling. Teens begin to help each other, to support each other, to recognize themselves as belonging to the group. And consequently to identify others as external to the movement. Mutual aid gradually becomes communitarian. Sectarian. The professor who, by play, began to change became the supreme master, the omniscient and omnipotent leader. The guru. Little considered by his colleagues, the professor is thus valued. His authority is finally recognized. We love him, we adulate him. He loves it. The game, which no longer quite one, amuses, satisfies. Grows him up. The progression is insidious. The totalitarian regime sets itself up, smoothly, with joy, determination. Because we want it more than anything. Individuality has disappeared. All work for the good of the group, to please the master. Inevitably, zealots are emerging. We organize a service of order around the leader. We recruit new members, we stigmatize those who refuse to enter the rank. Intolerance and proselytism advance together. - find the main ideas - understand some concepts
