CLOSED WEB SITES

Sometimes we can come across something like that ‘this web site has been closed by the government.’ I think this cannot be acceptable. There are several reasons for this. First reason is that this is not suitable for democracy. A Government doesn’t decide this.This is public’s choice.People can decide what they want and also this limits the freedom of press that is not normal. Further this web site can be a ınternational web site, because of this, people want to know what sort of things even the govenment closes a web site, people can reach it somehow.For example; Youtube was closed , people could reach it through Vtunnel, Ktunnel etc.There for this is not solution for bad contented web sites. The government can punish the person who puts bad things on the web site.The opponents of these ideas claim that the government knows the best and this is better because our children cannot enter this web site and they cannot watch bad contented videos if the government closes bad contented web sites.However, these ideas are wrong. Because the government cannot know all people’s choices and cannot limits people. For only bad content a web site cannot be closed. Because there are lots of good things and we cannot protect our children from bad contented web sites through this way because they can reach these web sites somewhow, they can learn from their friends how they can reach these web sites. Closing a web site is not an effective solution for this. Therefore closing a bad contented web site totally wrong.

DISADVANTAGES OF EDUCATION IN ENGLISH

Education in English is that English is used in all lessons in the school like METU.There are lots of different ideas about this but it is wrong for several reasons.The firs reason that education in English is a barrier to understand lessons, if students want to be good at lessons, firstly they have to learn English and this is not easy.If they don’t learn English very well, they cannot understand lessons.For example; according to a research about this topic, students taking courses in English are not succesful in their lessons and after school in their jobs very much.Because they cannot learn subjects about lessons exactly.The second reason is that they will start to forget their mother tongue day by day like METU students.For example; students in METU use- mid-term- instead of- vize- in their language or they say’ to be repeat’instead of- sınıfta kalmak-.The opponents of these ideas claim that education in English gives us a foreign language and the other reason is that students can meet foreign people because they take lessons in English.However,they don’t need to take courses in English.Students can take language courses, if they want to learn a foreign language and while we meet foreign people, we don’t have to use English, we can teach them our language this is more logical. Therefore for only these reasons we don’t have to take courses in English and these ideas don’t agree with my ideas.
