ARTICLE ENTRY 3 (MULTI-MEDIA) LET YOUR CHILDREN GO
The women in the
video discuss whether children should live with their family or not. At the end
of the video they conclude that parents should help their children to be prepared
for life, and then they should let them go. I disagree with them because life
is not like an exam. People cannot be prepared for the life. They just learn
everything by experiencing them and living. For example, while a baby learns
how to walk, parents can help him/her. However, he or she should fall down over
and over in order to learn it.
One of the women
in the video says that the children in their twenties are not mature enough. I disagree
with her because the adults in their twenties are psychologically healthy and
can make their own decision if they get their parents’ love when they are
children. What makes them immature is their family in my opinion. If parents
let their children make their decision and be free, this provides them to take
responsibilities of their actions. For example, if a mother says to her
children that you cannot do this, so let me do it, this discourages the
children. Moreover, whenever they want to do it, they will need to their mother
because they think they cannot do it even they are mature enough. A baby two
years old wants to eat his meal by himself, and if you let him do it, at first
he cannot do it perfectly, but when he is three years old, he can eat his meal
on his own. However, if his parents do not let him to eat by himself, when even
he is five years old, he wants his mother to help him.
A baby or a
child may always need their parents. However, the children who are their twenties
generally do not need their mother or father. Therefore, so as to help the children
in their twenties, parents let them leave home and live alone in my opinion. When
their children need them, they can ask for help. The best help for children is
to trust them. This will make them self-confident and successful.
ARTICLE ENRTY 3 : AT HOME WITH MAMMA
Firstly,
Antonella Cappon is right because children need to be protected by their
families and they need their parent’s love and affection, so they should stay
with their families. A lack of parent’s love may affect the children
psychologically. Therefore, people may make lots of mistakes and wrong
decisions due to a lack of affection for their lives. Moreover, most of the
children at early ages may start smoking, using alcohol and drugs. A lack of
affection lies at the bottom of murders, suicides and crimes. In my opinion, in
order to decrease the rate of suicides, crimes and using drugs, the children
should live with their parents and get their love.
On the other
hand, I disagree with her because the people in their twenties should learn how
to stand on their own legs in my opinion. Both men and women need to learn
certain things like cooking, ironing, earning money and solving their problems
before they get married. In order to learn them, they should live alone after
they get their parent’s affection. Living with family after 20 ages may make
the people lazy and incompetent. When they face with a problem, they always
trust their mother or father because they know that their family always helps
them to solve the problems. Therefore, when they have to solve it alone, they cannot
do it. Moreover, when they have a problem with their husband or wife, they do
not try to solve it together, on the contrary, they always ask for advice from
their parents even in a little family problem. This may cause great problem,
further discussion and even divorce. People at their twenties should live
without their family at least in order to learn how to solve their own problems
alone.
In conclusion,
children need their parent’s protection and affection until certain ages and
then they should live alone because parent’s affection may not lead the
children psychologically unbalanced, but it may cause them lazy and
incompetent.
ARTICLE ENTRY 2 (MULTI-MEDIA) ADVANTAGES OF INTERNET MARKETING
The video is about the advantages of
Internet marketing. I chose this video because I want to look at the internet
from a different perspective. It claims that the internet marketing is easier,
faster and cheaper. I want to focus on two advantages of internet marketing.
The
first one is that the internet marketing is easier to reach than television or
radio advertising. Today, most of the people in world spend their time on the
internet while they are working, studying, watching the news, reading books or even
listening to music. Therefore, people are more likely to see the advertisements
on the internet. While a person is searching anything or just surfing on the
net, he/she encounters a lot of advertisement. However, in order to reach the advertisements
on the television, people need to watch the advertisements, but people
generally do not want to watch ads and change the channel when they see the
advertisements.
The other one is that companies may have more
potential customer thanks to internet marketing with less money because they do
not need to papers. Taking out advertisements in newspaper increases the
advertising costs for companies. Moreover, just the people who read the
newspaper in which the ads took out can see the advertisements. Therefore,
internet advertising is cheaper and more profitable for advertisement
companies.
In conclusion,
the internet gives a lot of advantages to us and makes our lives easier.

ARTICLE ENTRY 2 : I SURF, THEREFORE, I AM
Firstly, people
cannot buy all books which they want to read, and they may not have enough time
to read all of them. In this case, they can read electronic books, and if there
is no time to read the whole book, they can read its summary. Moreover, they
can read the ideas of people who read the books and can share their own ideas
about the book. In addition to reading books and sharing ideas, especially students
can reach a lot of online dictionaries while they are studying. Searching the
meanings of the words in different dictionaries provides them with more
reliable information. In my opinion, people easily exchange their information by
reading people’s ideas and reach more reliable information by reading different
books.
Secondly, people
can reach lots of information in the internet faster. Today, most people in the
world share their ideas especially about political and social issues on social
networks like facebook and twitter or on their own blog. Thanks to the social
networks and blogs, people can discuss the issues easily and millions of people
participate in the discussion. Moreover, internet enables us to read articles in
other languages, so people can find out the ideas of the people from different
country.
In short, people
can reach more books cheaply and more information easily thanks to internet. They
also can share their ideas and find out other people’s ideas by reading blogs. In
my opinion, reading the blogs to learn people’s ideas about an issue is easier and
more useful than finding the people talking about the issue to listen contrary
to the writer’s idea.

REFLECTION JOURNAL 4 (MULTI-MEDIA ENTRY) -- STOP GUN CONTROL
This video has
been shot by the proponents of gun control. These people want to ban guns. I chose
this video because I want to look at the issue from the proponents’ perspective.
In my opinion, most of the people in this video made their decision that gun
must be banned with their emotions, and they want the citizens of America and
their leaders to be emotional. However, this issue cannot be solved through
emotion in my opinion.
In most of the places
they have said in the video, using and carrying guns are illegal. What is an important fact about the prohibition
is that there are a lot of massacres in the places especially in schools. One
of them is at an elementary school in Connecticut, where twenty-six people most
of whom are students are killed. The main reason of the massacre is that
teachers cannot defend themselves and their students from murderers just because
carrying guns is illegal in schools. Therefore, it is obvious that prohibition
is not a solution for stopping the criminals. It just leaves the victims defenseless.
Like inhibitive laws, restrictive ones will not be a solution for decreasing
the use of guns and massacres.
Some may thinks that the safest way for self-defense
is to trust the laws or call 911. In most of the dangerous cases, neither of
them is a solution. For example, when a thief or a murderer comes to a home at
midnight with a gun, the people who live there may have call 911, but the
murderer most probably shoots them as soon as he realizes the situation. In
most of the school shootings, people try to call 911 when they feel in
dangerous, but they have already been shot before the help. If it were a
solution, twenty six people would not die in Connecticut. In conclusion, trying
to ban guns is not a logical solution, and it just provides an advantage for
criminals.
REFLECTION JOURNAL 4 -- A SAFER COUNRTY WITH GUNS
At first sight, taking
the measures to expand gun control or making the gun use illegal may be seen as
a logical decision. The people whose children were killed in an attack may
strictly want to abolish the right to have guns because they may express their
thoughts based on their emotions. However, the opponents of the gun control in
the Senate of America rejected the measures to expand the gun control. Although
some proponents for the gun control are angry or sad about the decision, it is
more logical for some reasons in my opinion.
Secondly,
people need to protect themselves, and they can do this thanks to guns like
handguns and the possibility of carrying guns. When the criminals have a gun,
the victims cannot protect themselves through anything else except for guns. If
the victims have handguns, they can be in a better position. It is almost
impossible to take all the guns from all the criminals back or prevent them
from taking guns, so the best solution may be to help victims to take and carry
guns. The possibility or suspect of carrying guns may also protect victims. If
a criminal does not know whether the victim has a gun or not, then the criminal
has to think twice before he attacks to the victim. For example, a woman who is
outside at night for any reason may be comfortable thanks to her gun and the
criminal who intends to attack or assault to her dare not to do this just because
he is not sure about whether she can defend herself or not. Not only guns but
also the possibility of carrying them may protect victims especially women better
than anything else even laws.
All in
all, instead of the expanding gun control, the government should encourage the
citizens to have and carry concealed guns. Restrictions for guns do not
decrease the crime rate. On the contrary, they just increase crimes and give
advantages to criminals. The guns and the possibility of carrying guns are a
better protector than laws in my opinion. Therefore, in order to protect
ourselves, we need to carry guns regardless of the claims of the proponents of
the gun control.
