The video content is centered around an interview with Century Fellow Gábor Mező, which explores the cultural, media and political changes in Hungary following the transition from a socialist to a democratic regime.According to Gábor Mező, many cultural and media figures who were active during the socialist period remained active after the regime change, but they changed their positions under the new regime, claiming to be rebels and victims, a transformation that is considered to be an act of falsification of history.During the interview, Mező mentioned specific examples such as János Bródi and Zsuzsa Kon, who were considered to be subservient to the system during the socialist period, but claimed to be rebels after the regime change.Mező believes that this shift was intentional in order to preserve their position and influence under the new regime.In particular, he referred to the television program Neighbors, a series that began production before the regime change but continued to air and gain popularity later on, which was seen by Mező as a kind of falsification of history.Mező also discusses the behavior of these individuals after the regime change, some of whom continued to be active in the media and politics, but whose influence gradually diminished.Jus László, for example, no longer appears on television and can only agitate on Facebook.According to Mező, the behavior of these people negatively affects the interpretation of history, and they try to maintain their position by rewriting history.The interviews also dealt with the activities of these people during the socialist period, and Mező noted that they were part of the system at that time, and that they maintained the stability of the system through lying and manipulation.In particular, he referred to the work experience of some people in the State Security Agency (AVH) who remained active in the media and politics after the regime change, which was considered abnormal.Mező argues that this phenomenon not only has an impact on the perception of Hungary's history, but also negatively affects the current political and social environment.He emphasized that the falsification and rewriting of history was a systemic issue that needed to be taken seriously and studied.Overall, the video reveals, through Mező's analysis, the behavioral patterns of some cultural and media figures during Hungary's transition from a socialist to a democratic regime, as well as the impact of these behaviors on historical perceptions and social development.Mező's view emphasizes the importance of historical authenticity and the critique of the falsification of history.[00:10:00->00:20:00] The video shows two men sitting at a table, talking to each other.One was wearing a black shirt and the other a green shirt.Footage from the video shows them discussing some of the complexities of the aftermath of Hungary's regime change, particularly how those who were active during the socialist period will continue to function in the new democracy.The radio station's president broke the silence first by saying, "At least one thing, maybe you can shut up for a while and stop yammering on about all the so-called 'good' things that are going on."There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if he was displeased that some people continued to proclaim their "innocence" even after the change of regime.The scene then switches to a woman sitting in front of a microphone, talking to the camera.She looked very professional in her black and white ribbon shirt.She goes on to discuss the parallel system that exists after regime change, a system that exists in parallel with real political power and is intensely repressive.She points out that real political power in these parallel systems is always accompanied by violence and repression.She mentioned a number of techniques from the Stalinist period that were still being used after the regime change.She further explained that the origins of these techniques can be traced back to the Stalinist period, when they were used to control and repress opponents.She emphasized that even after the regime change, these technologies were still widely used in radio and television, and new parallel systems were created despite the existence of these media.The scene then returns to a conversation between the two men.One of the men in the black shirts referred to some journalists in the 1950s who worked with the national security agency (AVH) to keep the system stable by controlling the media.He explained that these journalists start their assignments early and the content of their writing is tightly controlled, which leads to the accumulation of a large amount of questionable content.He cited the example of Peter Gabor, who had been called to the police station and forced to engage in activities that propagated freedom, but which eventually became part of the economic crisis.He said that this systematic control makes everyone exploited, be it farmers or other social groups.Next, the scene switches to a man sitting in front of a microphone in a recording studio, wearing a shirt with a picture of Elvis Presley.He goes on to discuss some of the complex figures who came out of the regime change, such as Miklos Bauer, whose father was also a senior official.He mentioned that Bauer became an MP for the Social Democrats after the regime change, but his background made him still influential in the new system.He noted that some choose to go to work in radio or newspapers, while others find their place in the field of humor.The woman reappears in the scene and refers to the symbolic role of "George of the Sword," suggesting that after the regime change, certain people still hold power, but their influence is different.She emphasized that while these individuals are intelligent, their actions are still potentially dangerous because they are involved in various activities that can be extorted and exploited.She believes that these people still need to be brought into the system under the new regime to avoid greater confusion.Finally, the scene returns to the conversation between the two men.One of them said, "They can be trusted and then we can talk about waffles." His tone lightened up a bit, as if he was trying to ease the tension.The other man nodded in agreement, indicating that it was easier to discuss lighter topics, like waffles, on a trusting basis.However, this light-hearted tone did not fully conceal their concerns about the complexities of the situation after the regime change.Through this video, we can see that not only did the political and social environment change during Hungary's transition from a socialist to a democratic regime, but also how those who held power under the old system continue to function under the new one has become a complex and sensitive topic.This conversation reflects an emphasis on historical authenticity and a critique of the falsification of history.[00:20:00->00:30:00] The video shows a woman wearing a black and white ribbon shirt sitting in front of a microphone, talking to the camera.She appears to be in a recording studio with a professional work environment in the background.She begins to discuss some of the phenomena that follow regime change, particularly how those figures who were active during the socialist period continue to function under the new system.Her tone was serious and professional as she mentioned that some people become more dangerous after a regime change because they are not only talented but also able to convince others of their claims through their own abilities.The scene switches to two men sitting at a table talking, one in a black shirt and the other in a green shirt.They seem to be discussing some complex issues.One of the men mentioned some of Moldova's writers, noting that these writers are in even greater danger if they are far inferior to some.He explains that these people are not only talented, but they also use their abilities to create an illusion of seeming authenticity and convince people that their system is justified.The scene then switches again to a man sitting in front of a microphone in a recording studio, wearing a shirt with a picture of Elvis Presley on it.He goes on to discuss some of the complex figures that have come out of the regime change, such as Miklos Bauer.He mentioned that Bauer became an MP for the Social Democratic Party after the regime change, but his background made him still influential in the new system.He noted that some choose to go to work in radio or newspapers, while others find their place in the field of humor.The woman reappears in the scene and refers to the symbolic role of George of the Sword, suggesting that after the regime change, certain people still hold power, but their influence is different.She emphasized that while these individuals are intelligent, their actions are still potentially dangerous because they are involved in various activities that can be extorted and exploited.She believes that these people still need to be brought into the system under the new regime to avoid greater confusion.Finally, the scene returns to the conversation between the two men.One of them said, "They can be trusted and then we can talk about waffles."

basis.However, this light-hearted tone did not fully conceal their concerns about the complexities of the situation after the regime change.Next, the scene switches to a man in a green shirt who sits in front of a microphone and speaks to the camera.He referred to himself as a globalist or a libertarian, a question that sparked a discussion of personal identity and political stance.He noted that while he has always been considered a left-winger, the current political climate makes that label complex and uncertain.Finally, the scene returns to the conversation between the two men.They discuss Brody Janosz's experience under the socialist system and how he was recast as a rebel after the regime change.Men in Black Shirts believes that Brody Janosch truly believes he is a rebel, but that self-perception may be a form of self-deception.For his part, the green-shirted man said that this self-perception was common in the social environment of the time, and that many people had to lie and disguise themselves in order to maintain their status.Through this video, we can see that not only did the political and social environment change during Hungary's transition from a socialist to a democratic regime, but also how those who held power under the old system continue to function under the new one has become a complex and sensitive topic.This conversation reflects an emphasis on historical authenticity and a critique of the falsification of history, while also revealing the complex roles and influence of these individuals in the new system.[00:40:00->00:50:00] The video shows two men sitting at a table, talking to each other.One was wearing a black shirt and the other a green shirt.The black-shirted man was the first to break the silence, with a hint of bemusement and sarcasm in his tone, mentioning that he'd said something "stupid" earlier, but then correcting himself to emphasize that a real chip made of steel was actually filled with steel backing, mostly steel, but with his little lieutenants and henchmen.The scene switches to a woman sitting in front of a microphone, talking to the camera.She looked very professional in a black and white ribbon shirt.She mentioned that she had a copy in her possession from the 90's in preparation for a certain book.Once again, she flipped through the pages of a book from the 1990s, but this time in an entirely different realm.She referred to economists as "organic experts" and emphasized their role in Governments, research institutes and financial institutions.She noted that these economists had largely led the transition to a market economy and privatization.The scene then returns to a conversation between the two men.Green Shirt Men mentioned that even if these so-called independent expert managers are not politicians, they are.They pretty much managed the transition to a market economy, and the privatization process.Black Shirt Men adds that these economists are not just a panacea, but are promoted as the only solution to everything.They were quick to push for privatization, but presented only one approach and did not consider other possible paths, such as that of the Far East.Next, the scene switches to another man sitting at a microphone in a recording studio, wearing a shirt with a picture of a dog on it.He went on to discuss the "revolving door" technique, pointing out that sometimes a politician can become a banker or vice versa, and that this switching of roles allows them to help each other and promote each other, with almost no one being able to fit into this closed circle.The woman reappears in the picture and refers to the media environment in Hungary, such as the Hungarian National Daily, the Hungarian Democratic Forum, etc., which are all moving in the same direction.She emphasized that, despite some differences, in general the media were promoting the same values and messages.She also mentioned an older investigative journalist who found that SDS was actually a tool for attacking MSZP and that the two were always at war with each other.Finally, the scene returns to the conversation between the two men.They discuss how the media promotes the show, especially episodes on Netflix and HBO.Men in Black Shirts mentions that these episodes often contain hidden promotional messages, such as Modern Family's storylines about gay couples and American movie episodes about money-gathering in Las Vegas.These propaganda techniques, while transparent, are still dangerous because they influence the perceptions and behaviors of the average viewer.Through this video, we can see that not only did the political and social environment change during Hungary's transition from a socialist to a democratic regime, but also how those who held power under the old system continue to function under the new one has become a complex and sensitive topic.This conversation reflects an emphasis on historical authenticity and a critique of the falsification of

Question: What are some of the main ways in which cultural occupation affects artists?

Choices:
A. Four, specifically, the commodification of artistic expression, the suppression of cultural identity, the standardization of creative processes, and the erosion of artistic autonomy.
B. Five, namely, the artist's forced dependence on the system for resources and privileges, the artist's portrayal as a "victim" or "rebel," the reimagining of historical narratives, the ideologization of artistic creation, and the artist's moral dilemma.
C. Six, encompassing the commercialization of art, the politicization of artistic themes, the fragmentation of cultural heritage, the dilution of artistic authenticity, the exploitation of cultural symbols, and the alienation of the artist from society.
D. Three, including the institutionalization of art as propaganda, the homogenization of cultural narratives, and the marginalization of dissenting voices.

Answer: B

Five, namely, the artist's forced dependence on the system for resources and privileges, the artist's portrayal as a "victim" or "rebel," the reimagining of historical narratives, the ideologization of artistic creation, and the artist's moral dilemma.

Under the socialist system, many artists gained resources and privileges by catering to the system, which limited their creativity and prevented them from expressing themselves completely freely. [00:00:10->00:00:30]

After the regime change, many artists tried to reinvent themselves, claiming to be victims or rebels of the old system, when in fact they had been its beneficiaries. [00:00:30->00:07:13]

The cultural occupation led to a reimagining of the historical roles of artists, whose work and identities were used to support new political narratives that obscured their true place in the old system. [00:07:47->00:11:10]

Artists face pressures from the political environment in which they work, and their work is often ideologized and struggles to escape the influence of political propaganda. [00:31:12->00:35:22]

Artists face a moral dilemma in the midst of a cultural occupation, needing to choose between pandering to the system and maintaining their artistic independence, a pressure that can affect their creativity and values. [00:35:12->00:41:22]

Question: What happens behind the scenes after a regime change?

Choices:
A. Public judgment of events may be biased.
B. International alliances are automatically dissolved.
C. Economic policies are immediately restructured.
D. Historical archives are systematically destroyed.

Answer: A

Public judgment of events may be biased.

After regime change, the media is used as a tool to disseminate the ideology of the new regime, redefining the historical narrative to enhance the legitimacy of the new regime. [00:08:53->00:12:29]

The media became a battleground for power struggles after the regime change, as different political forces tried to influence public opinion and consolidate their positions through the media. [01:04:21->01:07:02]

The media may continue to be manipulated after regime change.

Selective reporting may make it difficult to disseminate truthful information.

Question: Why did many Hungarian artists claim to be victims after the regime change rather than beneficiaries of the old system?

Choices:
A. Claiming victimhood allowed artists to align with broader societal grievances, positioning themselves as moral authorities in the transitional period.
B. Artists sought to distance themselves from the cultural policies of the old regime, emphasizing their creative independence to gain support from international art communities.
C. The regime change disrupted established patronage systems, forcing artists to adopt a victim narrative to secure alternative funding sources in the new economic environment.
D. By claiming to be victims, artists redefine the historical narrative to make their past actions appear legitimate in the new political context, thus enhancing their legitimacy in the new regime, so many Hungarian artists claimed to be victims rather than beneficiaries of the old system after the regime change.

Answer: D

By claiming to be victims, artists redefine the historical narrative to make their past actions appear legitimate in the new political context, thus enhancing their legitimacy in the new regime, so many Hungarian artists claimed to be victims rather than beneficiaries of the old system after the regime change.

Many artists gained privileges and resources through the system during the socialist period, and after the regime change, they claimed to be victims in order to escape public criticism of their role as beneficiaries of the old system. [00:00:01->00:00:30]

By portraying themselves as victims, artists can gain sympathy and support in new social and political environments that will continue to maintain or elevate their social status. [00:00:30->00:07:10]

By claiming to be victims, artists redefine the historical narrative to make their past behavior appear legitimate in the new political context, thus enhancing their legitimacy in the new regime, so many Hungarian artists claimed to be victims after the regime change, rather than beneficiaries of the old system. [00:08:10->00:14:10]

Question: What are the main differences between social media and traditional media in shaping the historical memory of the younger Hungarian generation?

Choices:
A. Social media emphasizes curated content and long-form storytelling, while traditional media focuses on user-generated content and fragmented narratives.
B. Social media prioritizes archival preservation and in-depth analysis, while traditional media emphasizes real-time updates and superficial coverage.
C. The three points are that social media is more interactive and immediate, traditional media relies more on authoritative narratives and official perspectives, and traditional media is more selective in its historical narratives.
D. Traditional media is more decentralized and diverse in its historical perspectives, whereas social media tends to promote a unified and singular narrative.

Answer: C

The three points are that social media is more interactive and immediate, traditional media relies more on authoritative narratives and official perspectives, and traditional media is more selective in its historical narratives.

Through interactivity and immediacy, social media enables the younger generation to participate more directly in the discussion and dissemination of historical events, thus shaping their historical memories. [00:02:10->00:07:10]

Traditional media often rely on authoritative narratives and official perspectives to disseminate historical information, and this one-way communication may limit the younger generation's diverse understanding of historical events. [00:08:31->00:11:39]

Traditional media are often selective in their reporting of historical events and may ignore or downplay certain events, leading to bias in the younger generation's perception of history. [00:23:31->00:30:39]

Question: What are some of the main ways in which the media in Hungary reshaped the historical narrative in favor of the new regime after the regime change?

Choices:
A. The media employed strategies such as rewriting school curricula, organizing state-sponsored historical exhibitions, and controlling access to archival materials to influence public perception.
B. Three primary methods include promoting historical amnesia, suppressing dissenting voices through censorship, and fabricating historical documents to align with the new regime's ideology.
C. Four, respectively, are the use of cultural occupation to reshape historical memory, emphasizing the contrast between the new regime and the old system, and the use of media practitioners' backgrounds and positions to selectively report on historical events.
D. Key approaches involved creating fictional historical narratives, leveraging state-controlled media outlets for propaganda, and marginalizing historians who opposed the new regime's views.

Answer: C

Four, respectively, are the use of cultural occupation to reshape historical memory, emphasizing the contrast between the new regime and the old system, and the use of media practitioners' backgrounds and positions to selectively report on historical events.

Through cultural occupation, the media support the historical narrative of the new regime by repositioning the cultural elite of the old regime as victims or rebels and by concealing their partnership with the old regime. [00:00:22->00:07:10]

By emphasizing the contrast between the new regime and the old system, the media highlights the progressiveness of the new regime and the oppressiveness of the old system in order to increase public support for the new regime. [00:08:01->00:09:39]

Many media practitioners grew up in the old system, and their backgrounds and positions influenced reporting tendencies, making it easier for the media to accept and disseminate historical narratives in favor of the new regime after regime change. [00:09:40->00:20:39]

The media shapes the public's perception of history by selectively reporting on historical events, highlighting narratives favorable to the new regime while ignoring or downplaying information unfavorable to it. [00:23:40->00:28:39]

Question: What would society have been like at that time if there had been no regime change?

Choices:
A. Cultural stagnation and resistance to modernization could have prevailed.
B. Society might have experienced rapid technological advancements and innovation.
C. Economic inequality and social stratification might have intensified.
D. There may be a lack of diversity and motivation for change.

Answer: D

There may be a lack of diversity and motivation for change.

After regime change, the media redefines the historical narrative to support the new regime. [00:00:10->00:09:40]

Traditional media relied on authoritative narratives and official perspectives under the old system. [00:09:40->00:21:10]

Without regime change, the media may continue to shape public perceptions of history in a one-way communication....

The society of the time may continue to maintain the culture under the old system.

Ultimately there may be a lack of pluralism and motivation for change.

Question: Which social structures and sense of responsibility during the political upheaval in Hungary are revealed by the personal stories mentioned by István Bálint?

Choices:
A. Three, respectively, are the dynamics of rural-urban migration patterns, the evolution of labor union strategies, and the significance of cultural heritage preservation.
B. Three, respectively, are the intertwining of personal destiny and social responsibility, the complexity of higher education contexts and career choices, and the social responsibility of humor as a tool of resistance.
C. Three, respectively, are the role of family networks in political mobilization, the impact of economic policies on individual livelihoods, and the influence of religious institutions on social cohesion.
D. Three, respectively, are the effects of censorship on artistic expression, the role of youth movements in political change, and the challenges of international diplomacy in crisis management.

Answer: B

Three, respectively, are the intertwining of personal destiny and social responsibility, the complexity of higher education contexts and career choices, and the social responsibility of humor as a tool of resistance.

Bálint's personal story reveals how, during periods of political upheaval, the fate of the individual is closely intertwined with the responsibilities of society, and how people are not only concerned with their own survival, but also assume their responsibilities to society, reflecting the collective consciousness within the social fabric. [00:12:01->00:17:10]

In a politically repressive environment, Bálint's references to higher education backgrounds and career choices reveal how people find ways to survive in difficult situations through educational and career adjustments, reflecting adaptability and resilience in the social structure. [00:17:10->00:19:02]

Bálint emphasizes the importance of humor in revealing the flaws of the system and releasing emotions through references to Hoffy, showing how people express their resistance to social injustice through humor in the midst of political upheaval, embodying a sense of social responsibility.

Answer: A

Cultural occupation allows artists to escape public criticism of their role as beneficiaries of the old system, thus maintaining the integrity of their self-identity in moral decision-making. [00:00:12->00:00:30]

By portraying themselves as victims, the artists gain a moral advantage in moral decision-making, making their actions appear legitimate and justified to the new regime. [00:00:30->00:01:24]

Cultural occupation allows artists to redefine historical narratives, enhancing their self-worth in the new regime and thus influencing their choices in ethical decision-making. [00:07:33->00:19:22]

The media's selective reporting and redefinition of historical roles by reshaping historical narratives in favor of the new regime raises questions about their public accountability and independence. [00:07:47->00:11:21]

The public responsibility and independence of the Hungarian media after the regime change became a point of contention as the media changed from being a propaganda tool of the old regime to being an important supporter of the new regime, and this change of role triggered a controversy about their independence and public responsibility.

discussing an upcoming event.At this point, a woman wearing glasses appears in the frame, sitting at a table and appearing to be communicating with someone, but the exact subject is unclear.Her words emphasized the importance of the first teachers to the children, stating that they show them the way.Immediately afterward, the scene switches to a man sitting in a room, facing the camera.He was

shared her thoughts on this style of teaching, which she thought was much better than the method she had used before, and her daughter really enjoyed the lessons.In another video, a girl recounts her experience going to her brother's class during recess, which she clearly enjoyed.The video then shows the children voting for class president and vice president in the classroom.Children must collect a specific number of signatures, the same way they would in a real election.A boy reads his campaign speech, promises to do his best to help his classmates and teachers, and says that if elected, he will try to be a better class president.Another girl also shared her election manifesto, stating that if someone is away from school, she will help them with their duties and plans to organize a picnic party.The last part of the video shows a group of children singing and dancing together in a classroom, and they appear to be having a great time.The teacher encouraged the children to express their differences and the children shared their uniqueness, such as being good at Croatian and speaking Roma at home.One boy also mentioned that some of his classmates mistook "Hello" for "Buna zua" and "Good morning" for "Buna". Buna zua".The interaction between the teacher and students in the video demonstrates how this child-centered approach to teaching not only allows children to excel academically, but also fosters critical thinking and collaborative skills, setting them up for future success.[00:20:00->00:30:00] The video's frame is first framed on a black background where a line of white text appears: 'VICA KRUZAN'.It seems to be a silent image with no movement or sound, as if setting the stage for what comes next.Immediately afterward, the scene shifts to a man in a green shirt who is sitting in a room and appears to be talking to the camera.His words were light and humorous, and his reference to "chalk dancing the folk dance" seemed to describe a lively teaching method that made learning fun.His expression was full of enthusiasm, as if he was sharing a teaching experience of which he was very proud.The video then shows a group of kids playing a war game on the floor.The kids seemed very engaged and excited as they rolled and ran around the floor.Their laughter filled the room and it was clear that this was an activity that made them feel very happy.The children had smiles on their faces and interacted with each other in a very natural and cordial way.Next, the scene switches to another group of children playing with an unknown object on a couch; the children are laughing and clearly having great fun with this activity.The subtitle "Nutty and Happy" aptly describes the scene, with children's laughter and joy filling the room.The video goes on to show a group of kids sitting on a couch playing, smiling at each other and having a great time.The caption, "No hands, letters make a mango," while a bit puzzling, seems to describe the children's creative use of letters to form words or phrases, demonstrating their imagination and creativity.The scene then switches to a group of children joking around together in a room, and they seem to be having a great time and enjoying each other's company.A young boy in glasses stood in front of the whiteboard, he looked at it and seemed to be concentrating on something with a serious expression on his face.Finally, the image settles on a black background and a line of white text appears: 'Minimal Design'.No other objects or people are visible in the video, as if to emphasize some kind of simplicity and purity of design philosophy.Immediately afterward, a young boy in a pink shirt appears in the frame, sitting in a room with a Christmas tree in the background.He first looked at the camera with a serious expression and then a smile blossomed on his face, looking very cute and affectionate.Through a series of vivid images and subtitles, the video clip shows children learning and moving through the Step-by-Step Academy, which not only allows viewers to experience the joy and creativity of the children, but also conveys the importance and success of a child-centered approach to teaching and learning.

Traditional teaching methods tend to be teacher-centered and can ignore children's interests and psychological needs. [00:09:15->00:16:27]

Without this pedagogical approach, children's learning experiences may lose their fun and initiative, leading to a decline in critical thinking and social engagement.

Through these simulations, children develop an understanding of democracy and learn to respect rules and the opinions of others. [00:16:44->00:18:17]

Such activities can fully embody the concept of interest-based teaching and learning, while encouraging a sense of responsibility and social awareness among children. [00:18:58->00:20:27]
