Education's Effect On Society

Education means the activities of educating or instructing, activities that impart knowledge or skill. Education is the means of developing the society. But it isn't used for this. Sometimes The system of education makes the development level of the society worse.
If education level of a country is low, this country can't develop itself. Education affects people's thoughts, life standarts, life styles and income. As long as people's life standarts increase, country's welfare get better. People will become scholar when educaiton is developed.
A person develops his or her attitudes, abilities and other behaviours which are valuable in society which he lives. As people's knowledge and skill increase, society's level between other countries raises.
As a result, education changes society. It influences society well or badly. We should refine our system of education to bring out healthy and happy individuals.

Forbidden Websites


Some websites are banned by the government. When we try to open a website, a note appears ad it says that this website is prohibited for a while.
Some people anger for this ban. Because they want to access it and they think that they don't do anything prohibited. But if this website weren't harmful to someone, it wouldn't be closed. That is there are some reasons to close it.
The first reason is that a website may publish some videos, photos, writigs, which are against national values. For example, if a video published by any website consists of thoughts which are against Atatürk, this website should be banned. The second reason is that these websites iclude immoral things which are bad examples for young people. For example, there is a website. It supports people who kill someone and it says killing people is normal thing when killer gets angry. The third reason is that websites have an illegal content.
Consequently, if a website is closed, there is a problem with it. No website is forbidden without any reason.

Downloading mp3s is too popular nowadays. When we want to listen a song, we use downloading programs and quickly we can do. This is quite normal for us, but some people don't think like us. They are objector to this.
Thanks to downloading programs we can download mp3s, software etc. quickly and easily. When we buy cd and dvd from markets, we pay a lot of money. But their production's costs are very low. So paying so much money to buy them isn't right. Also most people can't afford to buy. While they don't have to eat bread, it is absurd that they buy cd. Even if we don't purchase them, they earn a lot of money and they live in a excellent way. In addition to downloading in a less time, we can listen our downloading musics everytime and in everywhere. But if we buy cd or dvd, we can't listen without cd player and it is impossible to carry it constantly.
Some people think that downloading is immoral and we don't do a correct thing. Because artists and producers expend great effort. By purchasing them we make their efforts meaningful. But some markets buy them everytime. Thus this happens.
Consequently we have a lot of reasons to download, not to buy. I think they are logical. We don't have to make them richer than now.

Outline

Thesis Statement: Downloading mp3s without paying any money is too common now, but although some people think that it is immoral, in my opinion it is quite normal.

Supportive Sentence 1: Dvds and Cds are very expensive. So most people can't afford to buy them.
Supportive Sentence 2: Their production's costs are low, but they sell them in high prices. Thus they profit so much.
Supportive Sentence 3: Thanks to downloading programs we can download mp3s in a less time and easily.
Supportive Sentence 4: When we buy cd or dvd, we have to carry dvd and cd player or we have to listen in the office, in the house. But when we download mp3, we can listen them in everywhere.

Opposing Sentence: It is thought that they are made with great effort. So according to these people it is required that we should grant of their right.

Literature


Literature is FLE Department's must-course. This course consists of poems, poets, short stories, novels etc. It learns us how to read a poem, a short story, how to discover what is meant. But things which we learn aren't necessary for us. Because when we are teacher, we will not teach our students them. Maybe we learn such things now, but we will not recognise later. If we don't recognise, how will we show them to our students? Why do we learn things which will not work? Also students who doesn't want to take get low grades from it. Thus their average note decrease. So instead of this course we should take another useful course. It should be both what we can love and what we can understand. But literature should be elective course so that there can be some people who want to take this course.

Euthanasia

Euthanasia is the method which is used when a patient's brain dies and patient has to live with a respiration-system. Because it is thought that he or she won't recover, the system is stopped and he or she dies.
According to some people, there are three reasons for it. The first one is money. The second one is patient's parents' psychological situation. Yhe third one is that there is no chance of recovery. But they are'nt important reasons.
They are right about that patient's parents can't afford the medical costs. Because the medical costs are too high for common people to be paid. But it is not the reason to kill somebody. A charity can be created to collect money. Sensitive people always help such a charity. Thus necessary money can be gathered and patient can live.
They think that patient's situation makes his or her parents upset. Maybe they are right in some ways, but no matter how much parents are unhappy, they have hopes that one day their child can recover.
There is still some incurable disease in the world. But the technology is always developing. After years, maybe there will no disease which can not be treated. Now patients who have incurable disease are killed by doctors for the reason that they have no chance of recovery. But although their parents know that, they may not want that their child is killed. They may think that it is enough that their child can breathe.
I don't accept these reasons to kill someone. Unless patient's heart stop, it is illegal that he or she is killed. Everybody has the right to live.

BUS OR AİRPLANE



Some people don't have a vehicle providing them to go to somewhere from somewhere. So they have to travel with a bus or a airplane. An airplane is an air vehicle. People go to their destination by flying with it. A bus is a land vehicle. Both of them are common now. But an airplane is faster than a bus. So People who are in a hurry choose it other than a bus. No matter how fast it is, some people selects bus because of airplane's costliness. While some people think an airplane is more dangerous, others think a bus is more dangerous. In my opinion a bus is more dangerous one. Because it is more likely that a bus collides with other buses. Also airplane is more comfortable one. It is designed for the purpose that people take comfort. Because it careens so much while going, bus discomforts people. Although airplane is more faster, more comfortable and bus is more dangerous, bus is more selected thanks to its cheapness. If you are in a hurry and you have enough money, you should prefer airplanes. But if you don't have enough money and you don't care about luxury, you should prefer buses.

Group 3

There are two places which we have to go. One of them is Info Island. There are an amphitheater, a volcano, Virtual Learning Library, Stonewall Learning Center and Peace Park. In Virtual Learning Library people search and find information. Stonewall Learning Center provides people to find out something. Peace Park brings people together. Other place is Utwig. It is music world. There is a church, Bachhaus which people play piano, Palazzo Strozzi. Palazzo Strozzi is a cinema. In this place films are showed. In church people pray for theirselves and God. The season in Info Island is winter and everywhere is covered with snow. In contrast the season in Utwig is spring. Everywhere is full of flowers and grasses. There is a sea in Utwig while there isn't in first place. While in Utwig the atmosphere is happines and peace, in Info Island the atmosphere is loneliness and unhappiness.

FaceBook


Facebook was designed in 2004 by an intelligent college student, Mark Zuckerberg, who studied in Harvard University. At first several universities and their students in the USA used it to share certain information. But then all the countries in the world began to use it. And finally with this improvement, it has reached to an extremely high usage of over 350 million members. The answer to the question how it has reached these enormous member participation is that it is free and you can learn nearly everything about your friends and any people you wonder. It is free because it earns lots of money from the advertisements which the big companies give.
It offers people to communicate with each other and to share their photos, musics, videos etc. For instance; you just have come back from a trip and you have lots of photos, videos in your camera. You just open your profile on facebook and upload whatever you like. So your friends learn how a nice time you have passed and they can also say their thoughts about them by just commenting below.
But to some experts facebook is absolutely a waste of time. They say it can cause some mind problems and as a result of this; negative youngs in the 21th century.
To conclude facebook is a really useful tool to have a good time however we must take into consideration those adverse effects.

OKS


When we were in the eighth class, we were studying for OKS. This exam's aim is to measure students' intelligent and knowledge. Thus it determines students' schools. Some students can go to anatolian teacher trainig high school. some students go to anatolian high school.
I didn't care about it. So I didn't study so much. But my friends studied. While they were studying, I was watching tv. My parents always got angry with me. They said "You should study. Otherwise you aren't able to pass the exam.". I found them right, but nevertheless I continued not to care.
My course gave us so many homeworks. I did them. But other than that not much. My teacher said to my mother that my chances of winning a good school were very little. Nobody expected me to win a good school. But I changed my mind due to that remarks. And I started to study two months before the exam.
Because less time remains for the exam, we often had tests. My results weren't still enough to win Edremit Anatolian High School. Finally I attended the exam. My result was higher than we expected. I was able to go to Balıkesir Anatolian Teacher Trainig High School. It requires more score. I achieved. Everybody was shocked. I and my parents were glad. But my teacher was disappointed as she predicted wrong. Because of that I was more glad.

There was a big meal arranged for the politicians and nobles of England in a restaurant in New York. It was a gorgeous and really luxurious restaurant and it always hosts to wealthy people. Mrs. Marville was sitting in her office silently. And she was unaware of what would happen later.

The customers were enjoying their meals. And they were discussing social and economic problems of their country. Then three men appeared in restaurant’s door and walked in wordlessly. They sat to a table and ordered their meals. While they were waiting their orders to come, they were whispering each other as if they had been talking about something which was top secret. After the big meal ended, nobles started to drink their whiskeys as they were chatting. Suddenly, one of the three men who last came to the restaurant stood up and took out the gun. Then the sound was heard. ‘Bom!’. The silence was broken. Everyone started to shout and tried to escape with fear. Mrs. Marville , the manager of the restaurant, run in order to find out what had happened. One of the politicians was lying down in blood. He was dead.

Internet Addiction


Nowadays everybody uses internet and most of them are addicted to internet. They use messenger, facebook.. They are always online. When they aren't, they always think that they can be online. If they can't be online for a long time, they feel like dead. They imagine that they are online.
People who have an internet addiction spend their time by being in internet. Their life is based on internet. They do all their necessities in internet. They can be only socializied in internet. They lose their ability to talk with their friends face to face. Their net-friends are more important than their normal friends.
They spend such a lot of time in internet that they delay normal things they should do. An example for that is eating. They eat their food when they are online. Their communication with their family is too bad. Because they can't find time to spend with them and they don't get upset for them. They get upset when they are far from internet. For example when the electric cuts off, their life finishes and they feel that their life lose meaning.
Their addictions can not be never treated. They can leave this habit when they die. We should be careful not to be addicted. We should control ourselves and be obstacle for ourselves.

Charles Dickens - Paragraph 1

It was a rainy Thursday night in London. The feast of St. Michael the Archangel was lately over and the Lord of Chancellor was sitting in Lincoln’s Inn Hall anxiously. There was harsh November weather outside.There was so much mud in the streets that one would think the earth had just been out of a very heavy rainfall and it would not be wonderful to meet a Megalosaurus which has roughly forty feet long, waddling like an elephantine lizard up Halborn Hill. As smoke was lowering down from chimney-pots, it was making a spongy mizzle, with flakes of soot in it. It was as big as full-grown snowflakes,which had gone into mourning, one can imagine for the sunset.Dogs were undistinguishable in swamp.Horses were scarcely better and splashed to their very blinkers.Foot passengers were pushing each other’s umbrellas in a general infection of ill temper, and lost their foot-hold at street-corners, where tens of thousands of other foot passengers have been slipping and sliding since the day broke.(if this day ever broke).They added new deposit to the crust upon crust of mud, stuck at those points, continually to the pavement and accumulated at complex interests.

Classification Of METU Students


METU has a lot of different students. They're classified in terms of their perspectives to the university. Some of the students see the university as only school. Some of them see the university as both school and entertainment. The rest of them sees the university as only entertainment.

The first group which sees the university as only school is asocial people. They only study their lessons and think only their grades. Other than that not much. They don't attend METU's student clubs. So they can't socialize. Maybe they are able to be the first of their faculties and they are loved by their teachers. But they can't have a lot of friends. They have only a few friends. They are usually alone.

The second group is the one which sees the university as both school and entertainment, socialization way. They not only study their lessons but also join student societies. They make a lot of friends easily. They know how to use their leisures. They like to learn new things. They try to develop their personal abilities. They are the group which gets the most.

The third group consists of very social people. But they don't do anything other than fun. They think only that moment. They don't think thier future. So they focus on amusement. But they regret that they didn't study. They are the group which loses the most.

I think we should do both of them. Each of them is necessary for our university life. Of course, we should do them in balanced way.

S.L.


There are three types of people based on purposes of being in second life. The first type is people who use it for fun. They are in SL for only that. The second one is people who use it to make friends and chat with them. They are in SL to be social people. The third one is people who use it to learn new things. Two of them are for entertainment. They are to have nice time. But only one of them is for education. I think their purposes aren't only for fun and only for making friends and only for learning new things. Their purposes should be all of them.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Internet


Internet has not only advantages but also disadvantages. We use internet sometimes for useful things sometimes for unnecessary things.

When internet wasn't available, we found information which we searched hardly. We heard and learned events happened in the world hardly and very late. But since internet is available, all of them have been easier. Thanks to internet we find information we search more quickly and more easily. People communicate with each other more easily and quickly. It helps students finish their homeworks quickly. We can increase such examples as them. Benefits that internet provides us are so many that we can't ignore them.

Internet's disadvantages are as many as advantages. For examples when it causes an addiction, it makes people asocial. People spend a lot of time with it. So they don't attend activities such as theatre, cinema... Instead of meeting, people spend time with friends by chatting on internet. Children ignore their lessons and their homeworks because of internet games. It also is harmful to the eyes when it is looked at very carefully.

Consequently internet's being harmful or useful depends on us. When we use it for good things, it becomes useful. But when we use it for unnecessary things, it becomes harmful.

Beach And Sea


This beach is a place where people enjoy. Pillows and fire in the beach bring people together. These people sit around the fire and talk with each other. Some people play a guitar and others listen to music. People walk in the pier. In the place near the pier people sit and look at sea.

At night, when the moon reflect to the sea, the landscape becomes even more beautiful. The phosphorescence leads to a perfect glow at the beach.
This beach is also famous for sea shell. This sea is a indispensable place for divers. Because on the submarine there are a lot of seafood. It is a rich place in underwater treasure. All of them attract people here.
