Women In Electronics Market

Both women’s interests, responsibilities and shopping habits are changing. Also companies are trying to affect them. So women are now in the electronic market.

There are a lot of changes in life. Everything is changing so fast that it affects both men and women’s life. According to expert; in the past women used to have lots of responsibilities like taking care of children, buying food for the family. So daily spending is mostly done by women. On the other hand, men used to fix things which are broken, do the hard works. They used to spend so much money on cars, televisions and things like that. However today these are changing. There is a concept like female economy. Because women aren’t only working at home any more. They have the same standarts just like men. Also thanks to having their own money, they can decide how to spend it. In addition because their lifestyles have changed, they pay attention the electronic aplications which are helpful for their works. That is to say women can also use computers like men for their works or entertainment, for instance. Moreover according to statistics % 60 of car purchasing can be made by women.

There are some other aspects which cause this changes, too. Not only these changes happen because of women’s new habits and interests but also some companies’ strategies. They aim to take attention as much as possible. Because they are aware of the conditions of women, they try to turn this to a good account.So the markets and advertises do big implications according to women. By appealing to women they try to make bigger the number of their customers. And all these trickeries atract women.

In conclusion women’s interests are changing day by day and this directs componies to do new things for women. As long as women work outside like man, they will need these products, anyway. Maybe in the future women will be more intersted in electronics market than women.

FORBIDDEN SITES

Today Internet has such a big place in one's life that we can't live without it. People use it in many different fields. For example some of them do their jobs, others do their homework via Internet or it can be used just for fun. So it is extremally important for us. Althogh it is useful there are some wrong thigs for us. There can be some bad things so sometimes governments forbid websites.You can't guess how many forbidden sites there are. Even though there is a point for doing this, I don't thing it is true. Firstly, we should have a right to access every sites we want. We are free and nobody have a right like forbid our freedom. Secondly, while there are some bad things in some sites, there are also useful things for us. By forbidding them we miss so many things, too. Lastly even if a website is forbidden, many people can find a way to access to it. So these bans are really nonsense. At the same time the goverment knows this but after all they keep doing the same thing. The opponents of this view think that we should get away from the bad content. These can be political ideas or the things which is not suitable for society. The government try to keep their society far from these.For example in our country Youtube is forbidden. Because there is bad thing about Atatürk. However we should consider that it is not a solution. Everybody can disobey to this. Also everything can't be perfect. But inconvenient contents in websites can be hindered. Or we can warn the officers. But closing websites isn't convenient.

Downloading Music From The Internet

Internet is one of the most important aspects of our lifes. We use it in terms of different fields. Also via Internet many people download free music. Nowadays it is a matter of debate if it is right to downloading music freely or not. In my opinion it must be illegal. The first reson for this is that we don't pay any money while we are downloading music and so it is not something different from stealing. We don't think the singers or composers. They also need the money we pay for their effort. They don't work for free or only just for fun. They spend a lot of money while they are producing something. They also have to pay to the people who work for them. The most important one is that to earn money is essential for their own life. Seconly, we don't respect the composer or singer's effort. We don't know how hard they tried on it. Things are't easy as they seem. Maybe many people don't give importance the work they do. They find it really an easy even enjoyble thing. However they can't see the hard works. So we sholuldd think the difficulties they face becore steal their efffort. We should put ourselves into their shoes.However there are some people who oppose this idea. They don't think it is a crime actually.They say buying an album isn't something which is affordable. Also to reach to the musics or films is much more easier via Internet and fast. Morover they say celebrities can make profit from live performances and thy don't need the money we pay for their albums. There are some points they are right but all of these can't be a reason for stealing something. Yes albums are really expensive but we should think this point: we can't get everything without paying anything for them even if there is a way.

Downloading Music From The Internet

Thesis Statement : Nowadays many people download music from the Internet and it is a matter of debate if it is legal or illegal. In my opinion, it must be illegal. Because it isnt't something different from stealing.

Supporting Ideas

Reason 1 :We don't pay any money while we are downloading music. So it something just like stealing.

Reason 2 :We don't respect the composer or singer's effort without giving anything to them

Opposing Ideas

Reason 1 :Many people think that it isn't a crime. Because buying the albums isn't affordable.

Reason 2 :Most of the people find it easy and really quick and they don't want to waste time.

Refutation of Opponent's Ideas : Even though it is easy and quick, these can't be a reason for stealing other's effort. If we were artists or composers, we would understand how a bad thing it was. So we should pay money for the music we listen.

The Language of Education

Today there are a lot of universities whose language of instruction is English in Turkey. It is always a matter of debate if this is good or bad for sudents. Some people support this type of education while the others argue against it. Of course learning a foreign language is really helpful to us but even so the education must be Turkish. The first reason, we are in Turkey and firstly we have to learn Turkish before a foreing language. Because while we are studying English we try to be more and more capable of this language. However at the same time we don’t care about our mother language. Most of time we don’t aware of this, too. Secondly, because we are studying English we confuse some words while we are using our own language. This cause our language to spoil. So we create a mixed type of language. The last and the most important factor is that it effect our leaning. Because we aren't capable of the foreign language, we can’t understand everyting clearly. Also, firstly we try to understand English and than the subject which we actually have to learn. So this mean we spend much more energy in order to learn the matter but we can’t uderstand clearly although we waste so much time.Also maybe we can’t understnd the questions and can’t give right answers even thouhgh we know. The opponants of this view say that to learn a foreign language is so important and this type of education help us learn beter. Because we practise with this way. However they should pay attention the results. Nearly none of the students can learn with this way. To study English does’t mean we are practising it. In conclusion, if we want to learn effectively, to use our own language is much more helpful.

Euthanasia

The Right to Die

A difficult problem that is facing society is euthanasia, another word for mercy killing. Thousands of young people are mortally ill because of incurable disease. They are all kept alive in artificial ways. They have no chance to recover completely, but most of the legal systems do not allow doctors to end their lives. However, fatally ill patients should be allowed to die for several reasons.

The first reason is that medical costs are very high. The cost of a hospital room can be as much as a hundred dollars per day and even more. The costs of medicines and medical tests are also high. The family of the patient is responsible for these expenses. Consequently, they would be a terrible financial burden for them for a long time.

The second reason is that the family suffers. The nurses can only give the terminally ill patient minimum care. The family must spend time to care for the special needs of their loved one. They should talk, touch, and hold the patient even though he or she may be in a coma. For example, Karen Quinlan’s parents visited her every day even though she was unable to speak or to see. Also, it is very difficult to watch a loved one in a coma because his or her condition does not improve.

The third and most important reason is that the patients have no chance of recovery. They can never lead normal lives and must be kept alive by life – support machines. They may need a machine to breathe and a feeding tube to take in food. They are more dead than alive and will never get better. For example, in 1975, Karen Quinlan became unconscious after the she swallowed some drugs and drank alcohol. She was kept alive by machines. Her parents knew that her body and brain would never be normal. Therefore, they asked the court to allow their daughter to die. The judge agreed, and Karen’s breathing machine was turned off. She was able to breathe on her own, but she died nine years later in June of 1985.

In conclusion, because terminally ill patients have no chance to live normal lives, they should be allowed to die with dignity. Therefore, the family should have the right to ask to turn off the life-support machines or to stop further medical treatme

The Right to Live

The problem which is called euthanasia is always a matter of debate among people. There are a lot of people who are fatally ill and live with artifical ways. Actually they don’t have any chance to carry on living like a normal person. Even so most of the legal systems do not allow doctors to end their lives. It is of course right. Because we can’t end one’s life on purpose while there are a chance fort them to live. Firstly most people say that the cost is so much. Medicines, treatments are so high and they think it is nonsense to waste a lot of many for one who is fatally ill and prefer to kill them knowingly. However this idea is too selfish.How we don’t let somebody live for financial things. All in all they are close to us and we shouldn’t get rid of them so easily like this. Secondly they say that the family suffer a lot of burden. But mentioning about something like this is really absurd. If we love our family, to look after them can’t be burden to us. On the contrary we take care of them voluntarily to show our loyality and love to them. The third and most important reason for these people is that the person have no chance of recovery. Allthoug they can’t lead a normal life and are in need of machines to live we don’t have right to decide instead of them. Mybe they look much more dead than alive. However the life is so beautiful that they prefer tol live as much as they can. In which condition they are isn’t so important when it comes to choose to live or die. There are also some examples who life so long in spite of being fatally ill. In conclusion every person have right to live and nobody can decide about this issue in other’s stead.

WHICH ONE?

The number of people eating at home is increasing dramatically even though eating at home is much better in terms of everything such as health, comfort, cheapness and and things like that. Firstly, eating at home is much more cheaper than eating outside. For example the money which we pay for the materials for cooking never be enough if we want to eat in a restaurant. Because we also have to pay for their service and this is almost double the amount of the food's cost. Secondly, it is more reliable. Because we can't rely on the people who sell the food we buy. For instance the material the seller use is mostly worse than ours. So eating outside can be unreliable or the food can be unhealty. Lastly,while eating at home we can create a more warm atmosphere. We can have a chat with family members confortablely. But when we are outside we have to obey such a lot of rules that feeling comfortable is almost impossible. Opponents of this is claim think that eating outside is much better. Because if we don't have time it is a good option. Also people sometimes want to eat outside for entertainment. They want to be in a different place. This appeals to them. Or maybe people who work really hard can feel tired and they can't stand working at home, too. So they prefer eating outside. They have a point in thinking like that. However they only think the part of working. It is expensive and not comfortable. They don't pay attention to these points.
In conclusion, eating at home should be much more preferable instead of eating outside thanks to is advantages.
