Video Games


There is big arguement about video games. Actually, i have never thought about it before. That may be because video games never attracted my attention but now i realized that it is big problem for some people. However there is some people who think that video games have some benefits. In my opinion, there is no real benefits in video games. It is just for bussiness for the companies and it is just wasting time for the players. If you don`t have anyting to do, you can spend your time on what you want and video games are one of these choises.
Most of researhes show that video games can be addictive such as gambling. Moreover it causes really big dangers on some people. Aggression , physcial health problems , social problems are the another subjects which are caused by video games. I read lots of articles , opinions in the internet. I found lots of soruces which include benefits of video games. However, it comes to me like the players wrote these articles to make them clean =) I just convinced about video games improve visiual things. It can be... But other ideas such as "it makes you more social, more detail-thinking " it is just kind of cajolery to defense themselves or to convince people about video games are useful and i am not stupid that wasting time without purpose. Anyways, i don`t mean that gamers are bad. But, i think there is no benefits of it and don`t try to delude people. There are lots of people who has nothing to do so games are good for them =)))
Enjoy your debate... Don`t take too serious and don`t fight at the class. :D
Good night!

My Presentation

It was really good-day today because i finished my presentation and in my opinion, i did well. My topic was the history so some parts was difficult to understand. However, i believe that i solved this problem by using lots of images. To research or explain history can be said that to turn back to the beginning of the events. And it is not always easy. Because you should focus on some main ideas and you can`t pass beyond it. Therefore, i emphazised some parts of the history. I didn`t go very deep to the past.

I was nervous and for sure, it effeced my speaking. On the other hand, i saw that most of people understood what i explained to them. I hope that it was interesting and enjoyable topic.

PS : To Know the Future, Return To the Past !
Have a nice weekend!

RESEARCH PROJECT

It is time to be happy. We all finished our big projects and i am sure that everybody did good job. It was hard time to collect informations, arrange notes, pharapres notes and finnally put them together. I have never done like that big project. It was kind of weekmare (means nightmare but it continues for weeks in Bihterlish) for me :P However, i enjoyed my topic which is about the war in Quebec city. It was really interesting and enjoyable.
Choosing this topic was my father's idea. He wanted me to learn something useful for my life. And i really learned most of things about the country where i live. To research in English and write it in English was not easy for me. It took lot of my times. However, i know that if the research project was in Turkish, it wouldn't be easy. I should say that to collect informations, choose useful ones and then make them in good organize was really hard. Writing was not hard and it didn't take too much time. Especially, in my project , there were lots of informations and some of informations went to almost at the beginning of the human. Therefore, explaining the causes in my project was so difficult and i had to jump some informations.
If i had chance to research on another project, I would focus on one book first and after learned something about my topic, i would pass another sources. Because, I really jumped from one book to another without finish one part of the book. Therefore, my mind was so messy until understanding the situations.
Anyways, it was an experience that make me awake, if i have to study hard , i am going to study hard. Now i am happy for two reasons. First one is that my stress was gone a bit and i have free time anymore :d Second one is the most important. I learned that willing is the half of the achievement.

PS : This project cost me too much and Second Cup made lots of money :D
Enjoy your day !

male and female...



Is the difference between males and females communicating similar to the difference between people from two different cultures? Why or why not? (hmm - if true I guess that means a mixed cultural marriage is impossible!)





I can describe differences between males and females communicating similar to the difference between people from 2 different cultures. I want to give an example that why i think like that. even if males and females speak the same language, they can have different meanings in the same words. For example, the meanin of the love is pretty different for females and males. As we see in this picture, female`s and male`s brain(in some pictures, it is heart) is in different place =) Whatever... People who is in two different culture, sometimes doesn`t understand each other. When we translate our language to English exactly by using the same vocabulary(ex : to translate jokes ) , the sentence doesn`t make any sense in English because we have different phrase, different vocabulary to explain something.

my cheating ...

  1. I am non-mistake-accepter about friendship.
  2. I lived with 52 girls in Turkey for 2 years.
  3. I couldn`t forget my first boyfriend.
  4. I am sometimes jealous of other beautiful girls lol !
  5. My sister is THE most important person in my world!
1. Do you think these data collection tools are valid scientific tools? Why or Why not? (In research this is part of what is called validity)

I think these data collection tools are not valid because when peaople answer the survey , noone take it serious. Therefore, the answers could be elusory.My second reason is that, if the questions are intended for feelings or behaviour, most of people play role of someone who they want to be.Hovewer, these tools could be valid but how much valid ?

2. Do you think your results would be if you took the on-line questionnaire at a different time, on a different day? Why or why not? (In research this is part of what is called reliability)

(I will reply these questions as i believe that tools are valid )I dont think results can vary according to time because the feelings about some specific and special things like feelings about our life, or sentiments don`t change. Even if some events around us change and these events influence us, the basic answers can`t vary. Due to the fact that questions prepare upon specific points.

3. Which of the two tools is better to do with a large group of people (eg. university students, people living in cities versus rural locations, etc.) to discover patterns of happiness in a given population? Why do you think that one is better suited?

If the researchers ask for the realistic answers, they have to do with everybody. I can`t say to do with university students is logically because they have a lot of desire , they have a lot of idea, they are sometimes dreamer .They can sometimes be realistic but they are young and they know the world or the meaning of the feelings according to their experience but those experience are not enough. However , there is one expression "Four eyes see more than two"
