I shared a video which is a car advertisement.I think it is an interesting video and it is very different. Firstly, it is not an ordinary advertisement and it affects people considerably. Generally men play role in car advertisement and we can almost the same elements in the whole of them but in this advertisement a baby plays role and he seems very pretty.He attracts interests of people and he make people smile.I believe that being unusual of it provide an advantage for it and I think that this advertisement can attract even baby's interests. Secondly, this advertisement gives message about comfortable atmosphere to us.This positive atmosphere provides effect on people.Baby, car and comfort are attractive things for people.Moreover I like this advertisement because of lack of unnecessary messages. Most of the advertisement include absurd messages or events to draw attention of people but I think they are really futile.I think that ordinary and futile advertisements do not give positive message about product but maybe they can decrease sale of product. While advertisements show quality of product, they should draw attention of people. So advertisements have people watch themselves. This does not mean that advertisements must be only attractive but they must reflect quality of product and give enough information which people can wonder, about product.So, only attraction can not provide advantage for advertisement, too. I believe that good advertisement must be both attractive and meaningful.

I shared a video about graffiti.I think arts like graffiti help us about reflecting of our emotions and thoughts.Wall writigs which was written in Pompei in 4. and 5. century, are regarded first graffitis.Graffiti is a skill and it is sometimes regarded as vandalism and most of the people interest in graffiti today. some of them are amateur and they draw their graffiti on the walls of street.Some of them announce their love with his/her graffiti or thoughts about any subject.Others who are professional use special boards and paints.They do it as a job while amateurs do it as a hobby. Today, graffiti become one of the attractive arts and it attracts interests of most people. Specially young people (15-25) develop graffiti. According to development of it, soon we will see products of graffiti art everywhere.Famous graffiti artist who was from Sweeden Dare contrıbuted to his art consıderably. Dare dead in 3 September 2010 in Basel. People remember him with his trace today.

                                            VOICE OF FREEDOM AND EQUALİTY

      Martin Luther King was introduced me as one of the freedom movement’s pioneers, but I did not know that he was a sensitive person who could change people’s thoughts about freedom and equality as possible as he could. After I learned this, I appreciated him.

       Martin Luther tells about stable destiny of black people and despite of this condition, he hopes that equality and freedom will be real for the whole people one day. I agree with his thoughts. Firstly, discrimination goes on still although The Declaration of The Rights of Man is announced in world because the comprehension of freedom and equality chanced today. Now that I think that the people have freedom and equality as much as powerful and wealthy people give. For instance, several people are killed in Iraq War by being neglected rights of man. Furthermore, injustices like that, keep on because of ignorance of the people or their depending on powerful people.

       Secondly, I think Martin Luther’s hopes of complete freedom and equality may materialize. If each person protects his/her own justices and supports movement of freedom, we can really be free and equal. For example, Martin Luther did several works for freedom and equality and he could change very much. This speech which is told by Martin Luther, is very important support for freedom also. What is more, the human beings could throw away slavery and they adopted innovations gradually. And this condition has me think that Martin Luther’s hopes may be real and maybe love, friendship and justice will award instead of differences between religions, colors of skin, races.

                                           

                                                 TV İS DOUBLE EDGED SWORD

     Television gives ways to decreasing of communication between family members and it affects negatively children. I think that television is certainly affects social life and children negatively. However, this does not mean we should remove television from our life totally because television has positive effects on our life.

      Firstly, television affects the communication of family members negatively. When family members watch television, they do not converse with each other and share their emotions and thoughts. In addition to these effects, television affects people, especially children negatively in terms of psychological and physical condition. To begin with when children see wars, violence of fictional shows, they may have psychological problems. For example, children who watched a cartoon called ‘ Pokemon ’, were influenced so greatly that the child who assured himself  ‘Pokemon’, jumped from seventh storey. This example shows that some of these programs are seriously problem for people. Moreover, most of the people who work during  day and have a few hour to spend with their family, usually eat meal and spend time by watching television. Consequently, this condition causes to lack of communication between family members. After a while, emotion of loneliness covers these people and they have psychological problems. Secondly, television affects people physically. People, who come from work to house, usually watch television after meal and this condition causes to problems like obesity. We see really negative effects of television when we think seriously.

       However, I disagree with thoughts a out necessity of removing television from life. Most people think that people should realize damages of television and learn to live without television. I think if people use TV carefully, they can avoid if from negative effects of it. I believe that television is really useful although it has negative effects. Firstly, people can watch the news and obtain information about the whole world. For instance, if TV were removed from life, how would we learn about tsunami in Indonesia. It is seen that TV is important information source for people. Secondly, television has educative programs in addition to unnecessary programs. To illustrate, children can find programs which give good messages about school etc. while they have children enjoy. Moreover, TV is an important enjoyment source for people. Firstly, it has enjoyable competition programs. These show that TV does not have only fictional shows. Secondly, people can apply to TV when they get bored and can not find what to do. Consequently, TV has negative and positive effects on our life.

         To sum up, I believe that if people can restrict time of watching and they can select useful programs, they do not need to remove TV from our life. It is necessary technologic device for people if people learn using of it effectively.

                                                  IS HAVING CHILDREN JUST PROBLEM?

Today, some people think that having child only gives ways to problems in marriage. Moreover, having child is thought as reason even for divorce. I partially agree with these thoughts because having child has important positive effects on marriage. Firstly, having   child ties  parents  to  each other. They think that the child, who is theirs, is a   result   of their love and they love each other more because they present such a beautiful gift to each other. Secondly, having child directs parents to mutual aims. They want to raise their children properly and they make plans for the future and this condition affects their marriage positively. What is more, having child prepares future instead of divorce for marriage. To begin with, parents think carefully while they are solving a family problem as they think their children’s psychological and physical health and they do not immediately think divorce. Thus they make their best to solve problems and save their marriage. Moreover, having child provides proper family life. Parents realize their responsibilities when they have children and they try to fulfill these properly and then they have proper family life without realizing. For instance, while a man is coming late to his house, he starts to come to home on time when he has a child because he realized his responsibilities. Another   thought   I agree with it is that having a child may interrupt parent’s  life. Firstly, if the parents have job, this condition will be a problem when the child is born. Because taking on interest in child requires all time during the day, he or she has to give up her /his job and the person who gives up her/his job, is generally mother. Although mother does not want to give up her job, she gives up reluctantly. So partners encounter many problems. Secondly, parents are sometimes jealous of each other from their own children. One of the partners   gets angry when the other takes interest extremely in their child and then this condition causes to go off their child. Thus, a big problem may spring in marriage. To sum up, there are ideas about marriage that   I agree and disagree with them. I think ideas about interruption of parents’ life may be reasonable but I believe that children have positive effects on marriage. Before having children if partners think carefully and prepare proper situation and find solutions for problems which may come out when a baby is born, they do not regret having children. Moreover , children will bring more happiness.

                                             HOW DOES SOCİAL MEDİA AFFECT OUR LİFE

Today social media is becoming so effective that it gives chance to people’s communication, also it provides effective ways for   bureaucrats   while they are making propaganda. He believes that people do not restrict themselves with the people who have common culture while they make friends on social media. Yeşim   Erez  says this. I agree with her because social media presents various activities today. Firstly, social media has become important information source for people. For instance, we obtain information about the news and magazine while we are surfing on Internet. Even if we do not watch news on TV, we know about daily events thanks to social media. Secondly, people do not want to limit their communication with common culture. Most of the people have alien friends who have common thoughts,  hobies   etc. on social media.  To illustrate, people are funs of many music groups. These people, who are fans of the same group, find each other by becoming member of these groups and then they make friends who have different culture, country thanks to social media. While Yeşim  Erez has a point on positive effects of social media, I disagree with his thought of using social media for political campaigns. She believes that if parties use social media effectively, it will be very useful for their purposes. Because social media is not reliable, her claim is impossible in my opinion. To begin with, there are many people who have bad aims like highway robbery. In this condition, people can not trust social media. For example, a person who may seem as if he/she has common political idea with you and when he/she finds a chance to reach her/his aim, she/he can make it easily. Moreover, many people do not behave seriously about politics. Political subjects is used to make fun. For instance, we can see the pictures of party leaders and they discuss about subjects with which people make fun. On the whole, in terms of communication, social media is true but using it for political activities may not reach their aim.  

VIDEO REFLECTION

I shared a video about a marshmallow test. A few experts test children with marshmallow in the video. I like this video because it provides scientific data to understand children’s attitude. Moreover we can understand children’s developmental stages according to behaviors of them while they are tested. Some children can not be patience and they eat marshmallow but others can be patience and they want to gain two marshmallow. While experts tell about test children, all of them accept this contract, after a while they can not manage themselves and they eat a marshmallow. This video gives information about both developmental stages and personal qualifications of children. Younger children are weaker at the point of managing themselves and they immediately forget their contract because of qualification of them based on their developmental stages. Other children can manage themselves because they are aware of their contracts. According to their developmental stages, they have self confidence and they believe that they can success. Consequently we can understand that age and personal qualifications can affect behavior of children considerably.
