4-) Story of an Hour

Heding of this writing was the heading of one of the essays that we read in class. If i summarize it, a woman heard about her husband's death and sat alone a hour in her room. She thought about her life, her relationship with her husband and at the end she was happy to hear about that new. A few minute later she saw her husband in front of herself and died because of heartdisease. Her husband was alive, it was just a wrong new.. I think we can take a lesson from that story. Did woman die because of excite or because of sadness? That's the crucial question. If she died becaouse of excite it is normal, it may occur in such incidents but if she died because of sadness, there is a problem at that point. If an individual deplore and die for seeing her/his spouse, that is not a marriage, that is called torture. Almost everyone have at least one relationship like this. One day you can say 'Hey! What am i doing, why am i with her/him? I'm not happy with it' Of course we can have some obligations in life and everyone haven't got the equal conditiions but we should know how and when to end these dead relations, we should know how to be happy.

3-) A Hard Decision

We have watched a video about a photopgrapher, who pinned down in a battle, several week ago. When photographer stare at a little girl with a doll, a soldier camed an aimed his gun to the girl and wanted girl to go away but the girl couldn't move because of terror. Photographer made a decision and chose to take a photo of the scene and took the photo but she obliged to watch the little girl's death, then fall into depression. Well, what would you do if you were that photographer? I think moral aspect of that incident is more important. I mean, you can win lots of reward but what about your happiness. These rewards do not mean anything to me if iam in depression because of that photo, if i am not happy. That's why i would try to rescue the girl and prefer to watch the award ceremony from my seat but cheerily. And what about you, what would you do?

2-) Reality TV

In recent years these reality shows considerably penetrates our lives. Every zap that we do with our remote control, we confront with a new reality show. zap! twenty person are trying to survive on an island. zap! a bunch of idiot people cooking meals and guests of householder blame him/her that the taste of meal is a disaster! even if they like the meal. zap! 'yokum diyoooor'. A lots of unnecessary programs that keep us on TV cover all the chanels in these days. People do not care which program is important, a fake reality show or a discussion program? All they care about which one is exciting. Even if the show is too boring, it seems exciting to them. But in the other hand there are reality shows which teach or educate us. For example Passaparola. I am not saying it is a perfect, exciting program but at least it teaches something. It is better to watch Passaparola instead of Yemekteyiz !

1-) Music Piracy

Is it an ethical issue or a a crime? If it is an ethical issue, do we care about this file sharing and downloading incident? In the other hand, if it is a crime, do we care about the current laws or aware of the current laws? First of all, according to the statements most of us do not care about the moral thing. File sharers do not look that incident as stealing somebody's effort or work because the file, that we share on internet, is not a phsycal thing which we can rob so they do not care about the moral aspect of downloading. Meantime surveys point out that we do not aware the current laws and most of us do not care about it. Maybe there is a need for more strict and harsh laws which make us hesitate, that is another issue. After all, even if our government says it is a crime, it is a victimless crime. In a mp3 downloading incident do the artist, which create the song, or company, which make a deal with artist to sell his album, or the store, which buy the album from company to sell it with profit, is victim? And that is an another aspect of the incident..
