Moritz, 16, buys a magazine

Moritz Deutschländer: "Ein großer Zeitschriftenleser werde ich wohl nie mehr"

On the Internet Moritz Deutschländer found so far everything, according to which he searched. Then, with 16 years, he buys his first magazine. Quite impressing, he finds. But then it gives nevertheless the Schmöker to its parents.

Berlin Amsterdam, six and a half hours of trip. Since I had neither a laptop (too heavy), still another mobile phone (in the repair) thereby, I went before into the station kiosk. I was not ever an eager reader. Internet, Dokus on YouTube, sometimes also on TV, hand me completely.

My mother never understood, why printing does not interest me. At the most times the “kicker” of my father. It brought multicolored booklets again and again with: “Petterson and Findus”, “Geolino”, YOUR MIRROR, “Yuno”, “neon”, even with the “Bravo” tried it. I have through it leafed, also times read, convinced it me never. Perhaps it was because of it that my parents read continuously something, for me is that an adult thing. In my circle of friends anyhow never one said: “Crass magazine discovered, willste times have?”

On the one hand I know naturally that I remain impossible from many things without money. On the other hand I do not want to simply only function and join. This system is not fair: Banks make a bad speculation, solve an international financial crisis out and can continue like before. Companies pillage unpunished the environment. Why does one find pros and cons to all that usually only on the Internet and not in the classical media, television, radio, print? Is there one beside the open rule of the money also secret of the opinions? Was I learned more in a magazine?

“Capitalism” starts before approximately 700 years. When the course holds, we in Stendal and I still are with my reading with the beginnings in Florence. The Peruzzi possessed at that time the largest financial institution and borrowed in the end also the king money. Later asked I mean parents whether they know the Peruzzi. Shrug of the shoulders. I lay in front. My father did not give himself nevertheless so fast struck and explained, he knew naturally that the first banks in Italy developed. Therefore there would be yes also the terms account, discount payment, Giro, agio. So a simple link! Why didn't those occur to “GEO” - journalists?
