Argumentative Outline

THESIS STATEMENT: Downloading mp3s, films and different software programs from the Internet without paying any money is exactly unfair.
SUPPORTING IDEAS:
1) People who are spending time for producing mp3s, films or different programs don't deserve "plagiarism".
2) In the world, almost everybody has a job for making money. So people who are preparing the films or programs want to earn money. We shouldn't disrupt them
3) Plagiarism is in the same meaning with burglary.
OPPOSING IDEAS:
1) People who download mp3s or the other things may be right in one point. If they are students and don't have enough money , they want to download free.
2) Costs of the films and mp3s are really high. So people can't buy these although they want.
REFUTATION OF OPPOSING IDEAS:
1) If they are students or don't have enough money, downloading is not required for them. Because they may watch or listen them in the official websites of singers.
2) There are cyclical sales for them by made producers. If you want, you can buy them on these times.

EDUCATION LANGUAGE

Education is the most important fact which gives shape to one nation. How do people become successful? With Turkish or English education? If a person live in Turkey and take lessons as Turkish, s/he becomes much better at school or life. Because language especially mother tongue is the best way for people to explains themselves. But in our today some universities such as METU have English as teaching language. Of course learning a new language is unexpressible action but for every student this is not good. Because if they don't think they work in abroad , their taking lessons as English is illogical. Also Turkish education is important for our mother tongue's and culture's protection.


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 treatment.

The Right To Live

Euthanasia is a very controversial topic. It has different viewpoints which change according to everybody. In our today, unfortunately a lot of people become ill and they almostly don't have any chances. In anyway, it mustn't be acceptable because everybody has right to live. Euthanasia is to kill the person deliberately, so it is crime.

Nothing,especially money, is more important than one's life. Whatever the medical cost is, all families want to see their patients. Money is not the matter for them. They can undertake every thing for their patients. The family may be in pain by seeing the patient but if s/he dies, they will be broken. They prefer to see their relatives hospital to see their corpses. May be a remedy can't be found for illness. Nobody ,except God, doesn't know that when, who dies. So there is a hope every time for illness and patients. Euthanasi must be prohibited. Because it is nothing but murder. On the world, the most important creature is humanbeing, therefore human life is right to be taken into consideration.

GROWING UP IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

For children, growing up in the countryside is much better than in a big city. Firstly, cities are consisted of only big buildings, there isn't enough places for children's plays. And also everybody is busy with their business so nobody can't deal with each other. Children can't have a social life or days with their relatives or friends because almostly everbody is occupied. Secondly, if a child live in a countryside, s/he will have a lot of chances for eating organic foods. Thirdly, the countrysides have trees, grass, so children who live in here can breathe fresh air. On the other hand, children who live in big cities are conscious of dangers such as alcohol, drunk, etc. They try to pay attention to this. And also they may have many possibilities for using internet and the other technological devices. But children in the countryside also may access to internet and the othes. So they have chance to develop yourself. In conclusion, the children who live in countryside are much better than the others.

-----TWILIGHT-----


Twilight and the other films of this series are my favorite films. When we look at these films, actually they are fantastic. A normal girl falls in love with a vampire. This is logically impossible. But they live a wonderful love. It is not only normal love story but also it has a lot of devotions, amicabilities, love and respect, etc. At that, there are a lot of characters if I state them, they are Edward and Isabella, Jasper and Alice,Esme and Carlisle, Rosalie and Emmet... They are partners and except Bella they all are vampires. Edward and Bella have a different and extraordinary affairs. As I said before one is vampire the other is human. All over the world the film was watched at high rates. But I think it was desired because of that Edward's handsomeness, Bella 's beauty or the other's colorful and vivid features. The most important side of the film which attracts people " the love" in the film. Because it seems like impossible but it is being real after little time. The film was based on this script. These are not only films. Before the films were taken, there were books (there are still:D) Firstly we read the books. There are 4 books and two of them were shot. I think the books are better than the films... But I like all of them :D:D Even though they are not scientifc and literal, they are very action-packed. I recommend you to read books or go to films. I'm sure you will have fun and spend cheerful times :)

A CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC

Do you have a boy/girlfriend?? If you have, I guess you meet with problems. At like this times, we want to consult to another person. It may be my moms, dads or friends.. But these options change from one person to another. Last lesson, we argued about this subject with friends. Should we consult to whom when we meet with like these cases ? Almostly, we all said that we must talk with our friends. Even they have not enough experience on problems, for we are the same ages we can understand each others. So we decided to discuss with friends. Nobody wants to talk about this with their parents. We think that they can't see us. May be I think so, but we can talk with parents or other elders because they have a lot of experiences, they can help us easily.But if you ask me to whom do you consult? Absolutely I would ask my best friend....:D

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PLACES AT SECOND LIFE


I went to the two places at second life. They were very different. The first one is very nice for resting or relaxing. Because the homes in here very modern and comfortable. I liked them. They have squared shapes and also there was one type of circular. There was carousel in there but they were glacial. And I think preparations were made for new-year's day and there were also gifts for the same purpose. As for me they were a place like paradise which include different types. This was first place.
The adjoining picture is from the second place. Here is one house. While I was wandering, I found a place which was very wonderful. This house very different features from the first one. When I saw here, If I may so, I was fascinated. Because looked from the outside, here can be seen as a technological place. But when moved down to inside, you can be shocked. Actually here contrary to seen, is very authentic and very modern. They were a lot of trees at the out of doors. The houses in here is various and have various types. If comparing these two places, they have very different features.

(= MY LITTLE SISTER=)

She is my angel, little angel, I like her very much. She is Zehra , the smallest member of my family. I'm very proud of you. She is in 4. class at primary school and very hard-working. Although she is small, she thinks and behave differently from her age is required. Right now, she can think about life like adults. If you want talk with her, I'm sure you can take answers which you desire, and you see that she doesn't speak in vain.=) Sometimes she comments about everything excessively but I like this because when must tell her important thing, I don't have any difficulty. Also she has a lot of ambitions to forthcoming. I think the best feature of her is her reading habituation. We don't have to say her, she reads willingly. As I said before, my sister is very smart and I'm very proud of her....:):)

LONELINESS


Humanbeing is like a bird. The only difference we haven't wings we can't fly but the life brandishes us from there to there. Sometimes,there are a lot of choices but not every time... Loneliness is one of them ; however, it may be the only choice. If we look it from the psychological aspect, it may be the reason of suicide or mental problems. I think there are two different loneliness. First one is the real one, namely, not to be in a society. And the second one is to feel loneliness among the crowds. To me the second one is the worst. Being aware of nobody is here around you even to pour out your grievances. Feel like everybody is opposite you.... These are indefineable griefs.... I hope nobody is in this mood. Let's not forget that in contravention of everthing, life is beautiful and we must learn to live with these difficulties.... I wish everybody enchanting moments....
