ARTICLE REFLECTION 3
PAPA, THE PHILOSOPHER
BEING DIFFERNT
Being a different people or having
different personal features in my opinion is a very amazing thing. The truth
that you are not like everyone else feels like that you are special.
Some people cannot tolerate different
things. They always want same thing or same kind of people their around. When
they see something that not proper for their aspect, try to change it. This
kind of people may have very different reasons which push them act like this.
For example; probably they envy the other person that maybe he or she is more
talented or more successful. For this reason they try to make ashamed him or
her by saying “you are different, you are odd”. Having different features makes
us someone who can easily recognizable.
In this text there is a child who is
not an American. This child is suffering, because his bully friends make fun of
him. He is an Italian boy. He says that “it is not easy being different,
especially as a child”. He is very right because children can be crueller and
can say things without thinking. Also children have less toleration to
differentness. His father talks to him in a very good way. He says that being
different is not a thing that someone has to embarrass about it. I thing just
like that the father thinks. If someone makes fun of you and wants you hurt you
just because you are different he or she has problems.
We are good with our different
features and different friends. Being different is better than being an
ordinary person. No matter how much they try to make fun of you, you do not
change. You are better just like you with your different features.

AT HOME WITH MAMMA
WE HAVE TO LEAVE
Every one of us has
to leave home because of school, work, marriage or some other reasons. Most of
all have got out of home until our middle age. So when we hear somebody who
still lives with parents at her or him thirties, it is sound a little strange.
Everyone has
different ideas and living with parents is a matter of choice, but in our age
not to leave home is not a thing that we can see frequently. Even if our
country, tie up our traditions tightly, men and women left their homes at
thirties. Lots of people left home because of the school but even if there is
no factor such school one of the main reason why people want to leave home is
gain their freedom. As long as we live with our parents we cannot do what we
want and we always ask for get out or met our friends. They always want to know
where we are and what we are doing. When we grow up, we want a life that no one
can interfere. While we are living with our parents, that is not seem to
possible.
In Italy boys want
to live with their parents. They say that they are more comfortable with their
mother. Actually they have a point. They do not have to do such things as
cleaning, cooking, ironing and so on. Also they say that moving another home is
expensive by living at their parents’ houses they can save money and live more
easily. In my opinion, they want an easier life but when they have to leave
home they will have some difficulties. So, no matter how comfortable is living
with parents, leaving home is more beneficial for improve ourselves, gain our
freedom and make our decisions on our own.
All of likes
comfort but I am sure that most of us want to live a life that we do not have
to ask someone for to go out. Also to learn how we actually live without any
helps, because all these things we learn when we live on our own are help us to
grow.

ARTICLE REFLECTION 1
CAN MAN AND WOMAN BE FRIENDS?
JUST FRIENDS
Friendship is a
really important thing in our age. All of us have female and male friends.
However, friendship between male and female is a little bit controversial. Some
claims that male and female cannot be friend, because in cross-sex friendships
emotions and sexual tension are raised.
In my opinion there
is no such thing that man and women cannot be friend. They can have a good
friendship as normal as same sexes have. Of course girls can be more
comfortable and sincere with their girlfriends. But this is not always in case.
Some people, male or female, can make friends in different sexes and feel more
open and honest. They share their ideas, emotions. Their thoughts about word
can be same and they can be happy spent time with each other. All these things
are not mean they feel something to each other. They can date or love somebody
else bur they can still be best friends. There can be some exceptions. Some
emotional relationships begin between friends. In my opinion this feelings are
about just their personality. Ideas and feelings are change person to person.
You can fell in love your male or female friend but this fact is not a
universal truth and somebody could not say “man and women cannot be friend”
just by looking some examples. There are too many people that keep their
relationships as friends.
Also there are too
many benefits of cross-sex friendships. One of them different sexes can learn
each other thoughts feelings and can understand the other sex more easily. They
can acquire different aspects. For example; they can get some advices about
boys or girls from each other. Knowing different ideas and aspects about world
is always good and very beneficial thing and a cross-sex friendship make easier
this.
To sum up a male
and a female can always be friend and can maintain their friendship without any
sexual or emotional things. Male and female are not created just to be lovers
they can always be friends with each other.

THEY ARE NOT TOO MUCH
What do you think about the serials
in our country? Are they too much or too long? Are they quality enough? While
you are watching them are you boring?
Some says that serials in our country
are too much. There can be much more different programmes instead of these
serials. In my opinion our serials is not too much. If they were too much, they
would not be too long. One serial takes two hours and when we add it its
summary part; one serial is almost three hours. Three hour for just a serial is
not that too much? Also our serials are shown again and again. Sometimes they
are shown more than twice a week. Yes there must be different things than three
hours serials. We can make more serials or some other different programmes. By
this way we do not have to watch same thing again and again.
In our country there is another
problem with our serials. Like I said before our serials is too long and this
could be boring. Actions in one serial improve slowly. For example; one
character is going to say something they are look each other so long that to
say just one sentence they need ten minutes. They tell us same story at least
three episodes. There is something else of course. I am sure every one of us
hates advertisements. Our serials cannot be shown without ten minutes
advertisement every twenty minute. There are so much commercial that almost half
of the serial is full of commercials.
Except from these problems what are
you thinking, our serials really quality enough? I think they do not. They have
always the same story. There is a person or family; they have terrible
experiences over and over just like they are cursed. Beside that there are
lovers and someone who tries to break up them. They have bad experiences too.
To sum up there are always same thing. They change story a little, they change
characters and they show the same thing under different name. Recently,
historical serials came to appearance. They have no difference from other. They
have same story also they change historical truths to make them proper for the
serial.
We do
not have so much television programmes or serials; we have always same things.
To develop our television sector we need to make short but lots of serials. We
need to make true historical serials. Also we have to develop ourselves other
television programmes like comedy shows, competition shows, documentaries. We
need to have quality television programmes to waste our time a little more
beneficially.

TIME
THIEF
In our age
technology so developed that we are surrounded by a great number of
technological devices. One of them is became a part of our lives. We cannot
spend even a day without it. This device is television. Television’s effects on
human being are so much that no one can believe. Watching television is one of
the most common spare time activities and consumes most of our time.
Watching
television waste away our time. We are so addicted to the television that we
cannot understand how the time runs away. Firstly we spent our entire spare
time by watching television. Although there are a lot of plentiful activities,
we just sit and look at the screen. Reading book, go out and wandering around
or exercise these are more useful for us than watching television. Secondly
television steals not just our free time. We postpone our other works for
watching a television serial. Than our works so pile up that we do them
correctly. To sum up television is just like a time stealing thief.
Television
can gives us some wrong information about history, policy and some new
developments. Some television series about early or late history can be
deceptive, because they trying to make people watch the serial so they have to
change some occurrences. If people, who watch these serials, have not enough
knowledge level can believe this fiction can learn wrong information about our
history. Also media can reflect us wrong information about world news. They can
tender us some news after add or eject some really important things. For
example; if somewhere exploded media does not give us exact number of wounded
people for fear of this number can cause eyebrows to rise. Also media can
reflect us deceptive data, may introduce us innocent as criminal. So we can
never know what the truth is.
Although
all these harms of television some people can claim that television has very
beneficial effects on our lives. We can reach all information about the whole
world thanks to the television. We can watch some informative documentaries and
increase our level of knowledge about nature, history and so on. On the
contrary researches show that the level of watching documentaries or news is
too low. Most people use television to watch television serials and these
serials do not increase our knowledge level at all. Also if someone wants to
learn watching television is not the only way of knowledge acquisition. He or
she can look at the information by the way of internet or can investigate in
books. Some people say claims that watching television enhances our imagination
power. I think this claim is very wrong. All of these serials or cartoons on
television are the same. They present the same story and topic again and again.
Instead of improving our imagination, they are just like barriers in our mind.
Imagination is our mind and watching television certainly is not a way to
improve it. Television makes us stereotypes. We need to see different things to
improve ourselves not to watch same things over and over again.
Television’s
effects on our life are growing day by day. While technology is improving
features of television are improving at the same time. Offers of television are
increasing and continue to make us addicted. We have to be careful we need to
direct ourselves more useful and beneficial source of knowledge. Of course we
watch television but we have to reduce the time which we spend in front of
television. After knowing all these harms of television we can limit ourselves
and we can save our time to make more entertaining and beneficial things.
