HORROR OF THE ACARID

2009-01-14T17:02:00.000-08:00

Recently , we have heard so much about this term “acarid”.It has become a phobia for many people in Türkiye in such a short time.What is an acarid?Why are people afraid of it so much?Let’s have a look! The acarid is an insect that becomes very harmful when it sticks to the skin of a person.Some kinds of it is venomous and some is not.But even the pain when this insect is taken out from tke sticked part of the skin gives a big trouble.Poisonous ones usually make people die but the other ones are not such hazardous and can be treated with minor aids.Neverthless, no matter what kind it is, it should be cured in hospitals as personal aid can be risky. In conclusion, when we think all that,I can say that the acarids shouldn’t be ignored despite their size.However, they also shouldn’t make you so terrified.All to do is always taking into consideration the possibility of the acarids especially in forestry areas and taking precaution for these small livings.

A NATION DEVELOPING STEP BY STEP

2009-01-14T16:32:00.000-08:00

The revival of the Turks from the ashes of the Ottomans that was about to extinguish is unique in the world.This resurrection started with the leadership of Atatürk.On 23th April,1920 a new parliament opened in order to represent the nation.By means of this, the Turks got the management of the country.Meanwhile, the Ottomans were trying to sign the Sevr Agreement,which means defeat.However, the people were very fond of the freedom and also were determined not to live mandated.They struggled so hard and so much although nobody believed such weak and poor forces would be able to get the war.Many people died from the children to the olds.But they won the Liberation War.After that victory,on 1st November,1922 the Absolutism was abolished.Therefore, sovereignty of the nation gained pace.On 29th October 1923,the Rebublic was publicized and Atatürk was selected as the president of the parliament.With the abolisition of Caliphate on 3 March 1924, secularization process began.Moreover, many innovations in the field of politic, social, education, judicial system, economy were made for modern Türkiye.As you see, just with the love of freedom in their heart, a nation that was about to disappear from the stage of history soon heroized.

THE COUNTRY OF THE VARIETIES

2009-01-14T15:52:00.000-08:00

Having been cradle for many civilization throughout the history, Türkiye has such features that one who has visited Türkiye just for one time must obviously admire every centimeter of her.Every region in Türkiye has its own peculiarity.For instance, when you visit Black Sea Region, you will see the people with long nose vigorously performing a traditional dance called “horon” on greenery.In Marmara Region, especially in İstanbul, you’ll feel just like on a history stage.The ruins of Byzantine Empire and other historical places will surely take you to yesterdays.What is more, having a visit to Aegean and Mediterranean Regions will enable you to combine your enjoyment with the sea, beaches and the sun. Mediterranean Region is also known as the region of the lakes.Central Anatolia and Southeastern Anatolia are so different from all.There, you’ll enjoy the life in a village.Animals, vast plateaus and lowlands…High mountains of Eastern Anatolia Region covered with snow lasting almost six months offer the opportunity for winter sports.All in all, a fascinating excitement and a relaxing vacation are waiting for you in Türkiye.

MYTHLOGY

2009-01-14T15:39:00.000-08:00

For thousands of years people have associated objects in the sky and aspects of their physical world with the gods and goddesses of their cultures. And the word mythology comes from a body of legends to which some people may believe. There are gods and goddesses in mythology such as; Apollo, Callisto, Artemis, Gaea, Galatea, Zeus, Poseidion and so on…Apollo –for example- was the god of sun. He was known as the god who could foretell the future. He was also a musician and a healer. Zeus was the kig of earth and heaven and other gods. He was also know for his being god of justice. Myths are not the same as fables or legends but the concepts may suite. All in all in general, 20^th century theories see myth as an outdated part of science and even as nothing.

THE BEST REMEDY

2009-01-14T15:25:00.001-08:00

The most social activity people do nowadays, the best solution to the problem of boredom and one of the most entertaining things to do in your free time.,,What is this? Don’t you really know? Of course, shopping! It is such an activity that many people, from olds to youngs, women to men, cannot get rid of it after they get involved in i as it makes addiction. However, women are the most active of this group.For example, women who aren’ t working think shopping is their only entertainment.Due to this, after their children and husband go away from home, they make for the shopping centres.Besides, when they break from their darling or have trouble with them, many women prefer shopping and buying many things such as make-up sets and clotings although they don’t use most of them.Namely, in general women do shopping as a way of relaxing. Men are so different from the women.They don’t think shopping is an amusement but think it is just a need.They go and buy what they need in a short time without thinking much contrary to what women do.But when they have a shopping with the women who are so curious and want to enter every shop they see, they get bored from waiting and so always complain about the situation.Consequently, man usually prefer shopping alone. As the creation of the men and women is different from each other, so are their preferences.But we must admit the fact that women or men we all love shopping and we should think that it is the best remedy for everything and everyone.

Men in Future

2009-01-14T15:01:00.000-08:00

How would life be in the future? How would the future’s people be? Such questions are really absurd when we think about the future, in other words the real question to be asked should be that-would it be possible to live in the future? Now, the humanity is at such a place that it is not possible to see the future. Global warming, air pollution, fatal diseases…These problems don’t seem to be solved at all.Consequently, in near future it is predicted that the population of the world will decrease at the rate of % 50. However, if it were to be possible to live, let’s think about how people would be.Firstly, many would live just to live not for the moral values.Moreover, many more would work only to stay alive .Namely, the answer of the question that-would robots take the place of the human in near future- is in fact that.People would already be just like robots. All in all, the answer to all questions is obvious.It is not certain that we will live in the future.Even if so, do you really think we can define them as ‘people’ ?

EDUCATION AND THE SOCIETY

2009-01-14T14:46:00.000-08:00

At the moment a baby opens her eyes to the world, s/he begins to live in a society.Until a certain age, s/he learns many things such as ethics from her family that is the core of the society.In addition to this home-made education, at the age of seven, formal education is added.Namely, after we are born to the world, the individualization process commences.As the time passes, we become a member of the community with our education and personality.What is more, we represent the whole people of our country in many ways.Education we take,formal and informal, ,in fact mirrors us in other words the society.For instance, in a country where education is ignored, the community is mostly illiterate and gives no importance to it.Because of this, such country takes its place among the underdeveloped countries in many respects.Consequently,for the babies to be born and for his/her future, education is a must which shapes and guides his/her life.

My soul was full of lonliness. I got out of the house with a hope to find some company.Neither the trees abondoned by their leaves nor the silence of the wood wrapped by snow was enough to owerhelm my hope. End of the path which was not seen yet was calling me and nothing could frustrate me to heed it.

I can hear a bowl of victory , roar of lions who have just killed their prays and the laughter of heroes. Their faces tell how they are proud and deserved the victory. They struggled altruisticly 120 endless minutes to reach their goal. Their opponents legs shake by just looking at this picture of self confidince. When they jump the earth shakes , when they walk everyone respects and when they play everyone loses. Because they are Galatasaray , they are Turkish Lions threating all europe and the most important thing : they and their fans believe in them whoever the opponent is!
