THE WORLD IS CHANGING(OKAN)

WORLD IS CHANGING
The world is developing so fast day by day. So the desires of people are changing. Needless to say that desires of people damage world.
We pollute air, water and soil. We damage nature as a result of this nature damages us.
We pollute air with gases from factories, using spray bottles, using fossil fuels, nuclear energy. These are the some of the factors that pollutes air. Air pollution can cause health problems such as asthma, some kind of cancer and infections. And also these diseases can cause one’s death.
We pollute water with toxics, dirty water which flows into the rivers, leaving sewage to sea or rivers. These things sometimes mix with water which we drink in our homes. So we can be affected and ill. For example; in some countries farmers use the rivers as source of water. Think that if a farmer uses this source, his crops are affected by it. They have a danger for people who buy these crops. Because these crops are not healthy, they can be reason of a person’s death.
We pollute soil by using fertilizer, burning crops on the fields or other things. Polluting soil is very bad thing because all of humans’ food grows on it. So damaging it means damaging us.
We have respect to the world as a result of this nature can respect us. Whatever we give to nature it gives us back double.

THE STUDENTS(OKAN)

THE STUDENTS
            Being a student is one of the hardest job in the world. Today many students travel another city or country to have education. There are some students are lucky because they go schools and universities in their hometowns. So we can divide to students two groups as residents and nonresidents.
            Resident students are lucky because they are in their hometown and always together with their family and friends. They don’t have difficulties. Because their clothes are washed, ironed or in the morning their breakfast are usually ready for them. They can focus on their courses well. As, they don’t have to struggle with other things. They know places where they can go, cheap and qualified. There is one thing that they are not lucky. They always stay in same city.
            Nonresident students are not usually lucky because they come a new city and they have to adapt it. Some of them stay in dormitory. Others stay at home. There are some matters staying in dormitory such as rooms are for 4-6 person, they have to same wc. And sometimes they can’t get on with each other. There are some matters staying at home as well. Such as doing shopping, cooking, washing, making arrangement himself, ironing etc. they are lucky because they learn new places, learn the place’s culture and other things.
     So students have some difficulties even if they are residents or nonresidents.

DUST STORM(OKAN)

DUST STORM

Everything started with archaeological curiosity. We went to Egypt with Archaeology club.

We were so excited to see the historical city but we were disappointed because the city was

dirty, poor and ruined. There was no traffic rule and traffic light and the cars were so old that

they were belong to 1970s.And there was so noisy and there was no malls or shopping centers

just little markets.


    The hotel where we stayed was in bad condition compare to Turkish hotels. We landed in

there day tame there was nobody in city. Because of the deserts high temperature people sleep

all day and were awake at night.


    After resting for a while in the hotel we went to Pyramids with our guide. He gave us

interesting information about pyramids and the most important thing which attracted us was

the turning into the yoghurt in two days inside the pyramid.


    Afterwards we saw a lot of camel. When we asked to people who were there, they said that

there was a camel competition. We decided to attend it. Reading a camel was very enjoyable

and interesting. Although we were untrained, we won the competition, as a price, we won a

free jeep safari.


    In the early morning we set off with our jeep. Everything was on the way until the mind

started. But anyway we kept on our trip after awhile it became stronger and changed into

horrible dust storm. Our visibility was limited highly and we hardly could breath and see. In

order not to got lost we hugged with each other. After one or two hours later we found

ourselves in add place.


    There were hieroglyphics, mummies and strange tombs. At first we didn’t check out what

they were after a while we realized that it was the hidden city! We found the hidden city

which our friends who study archaeology searched for. Dust storm effected us but we

discovered a important thing. It was full at energy and enjoy full

BIG COMPANIES(OKAN)

BIG CORPORATIONS
           
            In our world, today, there are many big companies that gain a lot of from the public. To show their good side to public, they donate money to some charaties or they give their corporations’ name to an organization.
            Some of the corporations do such things really thinking to help but others only want to be more popular. I think if a corporation wants to help anything, it can be done silently. For instance; in my hometown there is a club which is combined by rich people who have big companies. They supply necessary items for students with the help of municipality. So their names are kept. Because, they don’t want to be popular. Their aim is clear. But some corporations do this in front of the media. Of course they help someone but why it is done in front of media. Or big corporations do this help to have tax break. In many countries, there is a law that if a company support an organization financially they don’t have to pay tax that how much the corporation give. And also doing this job in front of media, they want to attract the people to come and buy some items from them. For example, in my country people are sensitive to help the poor. When they see something like this they go there and buy something from them so that they can help the poor.
            If the main purpose is helping to the poor, it must be done silently.

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE(OKAN)

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE
     Alternative medicine is a way of recovering by using natural herbs. We can call it as nonconventional medicine.
     Nonconventional medicine must be second choice for a patient. Because in nonconvetional medicine  there aren’t enough data and reasons aren’t  usually known for the disease. And this should be used as a supporter of conventional medicine with the allowance of doctor.
      Sometimes since lack of data and other things people can suffer a lot of pain. And also it sometimes even can cause the death of people.
     Why do people believe or choose this way? What are the reasons? The reasons can be social and cultural or pyschological. Social and  cultural reasons are suchs as low level of understanding of science, increasing amount of opposite science or disliking biomedical methods.Pyshcological reasons are such as believing desire, assimilating to the community and prejudices to conventional medicine.
     As a result it can be used but not always.

SKIING BECAME A DISASTER (GROUP ASSIGNMENT) CANSEL ISLEK


            Everything was wonderful. We planned to have an exciting weekend with our friends in Himalaya. However, we all weren`t aware of the miserable things waiting us the next day. If we had known what was comming next, we wouldn`t have had so great expectations.

            The day went on as it was planned. We prepared everything especially our ski-equipment. We met immediately with our friends at the  same cafe as usually. We talked about things we have done the year before and had fun. Helen looked at her watch and warned us to get ready.The bus would arrive in 15 minutes. The conversation was so deep that we hadn`t realized  the time passing.

            Everybody was laughing and acting like primary school children. Meanwhile, I was looking out of the window and began to dream… The bright, blue sky was smiling to me, which symbolized to me that our holiday would be amazing. The mountains covered with snow captivated me. Suddenly a piece of paper awoke me. Jack asked me loudly: ” Won`t you join us? ”I refused to answer him and threw the piece of paper back and joined them.

            After we arrived at the hotel, we left our bags and went out with our equipment. The guide warned us to be in groups at least of four and to use the minumum voice while talking. We decided to walk to peak. The weather was cold and gloomy. It made us feel stranger. Promptly, Elizabeth heard the wolf`s noises and screamed. We heard the echo of her scream several times. The ground began to shake and I felt like everything was going to collapse. Intentionally we crouched down, but unfortunately Jack lost his balance and trundled. While we were trying to catch Jack, a horrible noise was coming closer to us. It seemed like the sky was shouting to us. The sliding and approaching of the snow took only a few seconds.

            When I opened my eyes, I felt something heavy on me. It was real dark but I was able to realize the snow laying over my body. As soon as I understood that it was an avalanche, I tried to stand up and find my friends immediately. I heard the voice of Helen`s crying. I told her to be quite lest there could be another avalanche. After calming her down, I looked around and the all the snow around us was smooth as if nothing had happened. We found the glove of Jack while looking for the others. We ran towards it and started to dig around the place the glove was laying. Actually he was laying there. I saw his hand, which was almost frozen. We got him out of there with hard work. As the guide told us before, we rubbed his body with snow. Slowly he regained consciousness, but he trembled. Helen stayed with him and I looked for Elizabeth. But there was no help, I couldn`t find her. So I called the emergency  to help us. They arrived within half an hour. The emergency team asked us whether Elizabeth had a cell phone with her. Fortunaly she had it and the emergency team could find her with the help of the cell phone`s signal. At the time we found her, she was almost frozen and the emergency took us immediately back to the hotel.

            In the evening we realized what a big disaster we had. Luckily no one died. We were all happy to be alive. Maybe it was a lesson to us and we learned that a very little mistake could cause big troubles. I don`t think that we will be psychological able to ski in the next few years. Even today, I have nightmares about that incident and cannot forget it.
