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..
