Germany has had some dark moments in its past, but those days seem long gone. Check out what daily life is currently like there.
德国已在过去的一些黑暗的时刻，但那些日子似乎早已不复存在。检查出什么的日常生活是目前好像有。

0:00In recent months Germany has been in the international spotlight for its unwavering commitment to
0:04providing asylum to refugees escaping war and poverty in the Middle East and Africa.
0:10In October 2015, German authorities estimated that 1.5 million refugees would arrive at
0:15its borders in 2015 alone… As Germans scramble to provide food, housing and support to this
0:21burgeoning population, what is life really like for the nearly 83 million citizens who
0:26were already there? In terms of schooling, all German children are grouped together until
0:31the age of 10. After that it gets a little complicated. If you are a child in Germany,
0:36you will typically be placed into one of three educational tracks, depending on your academic
0:40ability. The elite track, Gymnasium, is geared for children who are headed to university,
0:45with a focus on language studies, maths and science. The second track, Realschule, is
0:50the most populous and is reported to rival the quality of most American schools. The
0:54bottom tier is called Hauptschule, which is geared for children who will be taught a trade
0:58and will likely go into blue collar work as an adult. What’s interesting is that the
1:03decision of what track you're on, is made for you by your school, meaning that at age
1:0710 your life’s course may have already been pre-determined. After graduating you would
1:12be faced with the choice of finding employment or pursuing a higher education. There used
1:17to be a military conscription but as of 2011 it was suspended and today, people can only
1:22be drafted in an instance of war. So without conscription and if university isn’t in
1:27the cards, young people will likely go into one of Germany’s thriving industries. Germany
1:32has the strongest economy in the EU and one of the lowest unemployment rates so finding
1:36work shouldn’t be hard. But these aren't the only choices the average German has. The
1:41arts, for example, is huge. Today, Germany has the largest music market in the EU, competing
1:46with the UK as third in the world after the US and Japan. The country boasts 130 orchestra's
1:52that are in part supported by public money. Unlike America where going to the opera and
1:57symphony is seen as a pastime reserved for those who can afford it, in Germany people
2:01of all incomes enjoy these productions. Germany also supports their artists, even providing
2:07a 50% reduction in health insurance through an artist specific insurance system. Germany's
2:12rich history and commitment to the arts continues to be passed down from generation to generation
2:17but you might be surprised at how little of that history you see walking down the street.
2:22Germany’s cities were decimated during World War II so the average person in Germany is
2:26likely to live in a dwelling built after 1950. And they are probably living in an apartment.
2:32Unlike the US, there are zero tax incentives for homeowners and many laws are written in
2:36favor of renters. 6) With the sudden changes in 2015, Germany's citizenry and daily life
2:42will no doubt evolve along with it, Germany’s generosity however, hasn't come without criticism.
2:47Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orban, accuses Berlin of “moral imperialism”
2:51and he is not alone. But with a history like Germany’s there is a sense of guilt that
2:56hangs over the population to this day, even coining a term for it: Vee-gong-un-heights-bee--dee-goong
3:00or the culture of coming to terms with the past, continuing to atone for the atrocities
3:06committed during WWII may not come as much of a surprise. If you’d like to watch an
3:10episode that explores why exactly Germany has let in so many refugees, check out this
