Corruptive Outcomes...

Internet means many things to all of us because people all over the world use it for many reasons. Of course on a that kind of comman issue, people have lots of opinions, both negative and positive. Some people think that internet is a means of reaching information easily. So it is very useful. But that can’t be the whole issue according to me. Internet is being used for doing many other harmful things also. So it has many negative effects on people like making us unsocial, taking so much of our time and disturbing our private lives.

According to some people, internet is being used to socialize people. I strongly disagree with this point of view. Via some kind of web-sites or chat rooms, people are communicating eachother. Actually they are just assuming that they are communicating. Because I don’t think that it can make people more social. On the contrary, they have become like robots standing in front of PC for long hours. They forget to go cafes or such kind of places and share their thoughts with other people face to face. We aren’t animation characters in a computer game. We are real people. So we should behave acocording to this. I believe that internet can never make people social in real sense.

People are spending much time in front of PC everyday. Generally they spend their time via playing computer games or chatting with people ect. So using internet to reach an information (which is the most useful way to use internet according to some people)is actualized less than for those purposes that I mentioned above. In this point, I can say that people are spending their time in vain. The only thing that is positive related to this issue may be enjoying because people are enjoying when doing all these activities on internet. So they can't easily see real bad effects of using internet too much. People aren’t allocating time even their basic personal needs like eating or sleeping. For example they don’t sleep enough so that they can play with games much. Maybe they are enjoying when playing games but the time they spend is really excessive and never comes back.

I think this is the most negative effect of the internet, disturbing our private life… Internet can cause us feel unwell with many ways. Some people are very expert on that area and they can easily reach many people’s private information. This means that there is no security in internet. The minor example is following, when we send an e-mail to one of our friends, some other people can reach this mail even before it is sent to whom we want. I think this is a really bothering situation. It can create many misunderstandings and problems especially if we want to share some important information with somebody. So these kind of things can be really big proplems for us. For example some people can reach our bank account numbers if they want. Just think about it, how horrible situation it would be. So in internet people should be very careful because thet aren’t alone even if they are absulately sure that they are!!

Of course, I am not oppose to using internet. When it is used with some kind of rules, it can be very useful. What I want to explain to you that in our world, internet has many negative effects on people’s lives, unfortunatelly more than its positive effects. So we should be very careful when using it if we don’t want to be in a real trouble that can cost corruptive outcomes…

the use of internet has bad effects on people like making us unsocial, taking so much of our time, and disturbing our private life.

Wearing Uniforms at School

Both students and teachers have been discussing an issue for a long time "whether students should wear uniforms or not". Some people claim that students should wear uniforms at primary, secondary and high schools. On the other hand, some people think that it is very unnecessary and a kind of burden for students. If they want, they can show off with other things like their bags, shoes even with their pencils according to these people. To me, wearing a uniform is required for different reasons like economic situation of Turkey, equality among students and maybe the most important reason for psychology of students.

As you all know, the economic situation of Turkey is quite bad. People have many difficulties for making money. Many people are really poor and can only live with the help of some charity foundations. On the contrary, there are some very wealthy people in Turkey, that is, there is a huge economic unbalance among people. So in this kind of country, wearing uniforms at primary, secondary and high schools is a kind of necessity. In schools, there are students from different economic classes. Their life styles are very different. Some students live in huge houses with servants in them. Other poor students may not have even a small shed. It may be seen an exaggeration but even the things they eat are dissimilar. I am absulately sure that especially in schools, students shouldn’t feel these differences. So in this point, we can see that wearing uniforms is necessary for students.

When we think about equality among students, we can say that it is related to economy. That is, the biggest factors that create inequality are economic differences of those students. Of course there are many other factors that affect this problem. Shortly, wearing uniforms shows equality. Students don’t feel themselves superior or inferior to eachother. Whoever they are in their normal lives, poor, wealthy ect. they are students in school and they are totally equal.

Psychological mood is really important for all people. It affects people very much. Students have many psyhological problems especially when they go secondary or high school. In that age, they are in adolescence period. So they are more sensitive and they have really complex psyhological moods. One day they may be very happy, the other day they may cry all day. Especially in that age, wearing uniforms at school is being very crucial. If there were no uniforms, students might humiliate eachother easily because of their wearing styles. Different economic, social status of students become more visible in that case. With the effect of their age, students can’t think logically. They may want their parents to do something impossible for them. Maybe their parents can’t buy costly things for their children because of economic deficiencies. But when they see their children upset, they will be the most unhappy people in the world. So not only the students but also their parents are affected very badly from this situation.

Maybe some people don’t agree with me about this issue. Of course I know the difficulties of wearing uniforms as a student who had worn uniform for long years but I’m living in Turkey. I think the people who know the real meaning of living in Turkey can easily understand the importance of wearing uniforms at school…

Getting a Good University Degree in Turkey

Going to a university is a really important issue for many reasons. University is on the top of the education period. People go to a university and when they graduate from it, they begin to work and earn money. Of course, we can choose the other way and after 4-year-period, we can continue our education through master and Ph.D. Especially in Turkey, maybe just going to a university is not enough. People are required to go to a good university and also graduating from this univesity with a good degree. So they try to get a university degree for variable reasons like working in a good area, earning much money and getting a good status in society.

I think, job has a significant place in all people’s lives. We are spending many hours in our jobs maybe more than that we spend in our houses. When we try to find a job, we consider many things. Generally we want to find a suitable job for us, that is, the jobs that we like. Because if we don’t like our jobs, the time that we spend there can be like a hell for us. Secondly we take into consideration the money that we will earn via our job. Finding a well-paid job is crucial for people. If we add the difficulty of finding a good job in Turkey, we can easily understand the importance of getting a good university degree there. The more good university degree we get, the more opportunities we have in many areas.

It is extremely hard to earn money in Turkey, because the economic situation of Turkey is very bad. Many people are under poverty. Some people can’t find money even to feed their children. It is very painful and shameful case according to me because we are living in a country which has many economical resources actually. But the major question is that how many of these resources are being used? If they were really used maybe going to a good university and getting a good university degree would became unnecessary. Now I should say that if we don’t want to be among these people who have many difficulties in their lives because of earning insufficient money, we should be thoughtful about the issue of university degree.

And getting a good status in society… For many people even if they don't mention about this, status is important. Actually in all areas in the life there is some kind of hierarchy, from family to the working area. This is the same when we go to a university. According to some people going to a good university is a kind of getting a good status among people. Even if we don’t accept this, people around us think in that way. When somebody enters the university enterance exam and gets a high degree, people say pleasing things about him/her. When graduating from a university,this time graduating with a high degree becomes important. On the other hand, it is peculiar to every person of course. Perhaps it is a hidden desire but getting a good status in society has much importance in people’s lives and the first step for this is related to university.

I can say that if we are living in Turkey, we should get a good university degree at least to find a chance to live in better conditions. Unfortunately in some situations even this is also not enough ,that is, it isn’t certain if we can reach our target or not about the issue of living comfortably. There are many people in Turkey who are unemployed, even if they graduate from a really good university with a really good degree. About this issue, I can say that I don't think getting a good degree in university. I have other more logical plans:) Finally I think this will explain everything- we are living in Turkey…
