Blog discussion #4: Global warming

This is a FEEDBACK discussion and will count towards your PARTICIPATION mark. It will also help you prepare for your ASSESSED CLASS DISCUSSION at the end of the semester.

Our next classroom topic is Global warming. We will be watching two films which present different viewpoints on manmade global warming. There will be a lot of new vocabulary and critical discussion questions. We will hold practice discussions with feedback in Week 12; in Week 13 we will hold small group discussions in my office and you will be graded (10% of final mark).

I would like students to take charge of this discussion: ask questions, post links to interesting articles and web sites about global warming, share new vocabulary and so on.

This discussion is open until the end of the semester.

Happy discussing!

Can Turks be trusted with their own future?

Today , People should become conscious carrying out social responsibility such as to be interested on how is going to built future of Turkey. If we want to answer the question we had to check up our recent history of policy. ın 2001, Turkey dealt with economical crises which is rate of inflation increase highest steps ,social structure and political stabilization was effected due to economical chaos .Result for that hopeless a lot of people lost their job. Even if IMF had suggested to proper pack of economical policy ,avalaible goverment couldn't cope with huge problems.And another side, politicians the blame on themselves for all wrong decisions.As time passed people couldn't give politicians the impression of being trustworthy.Thus huge political and economical uncertainly has appeared
