I don’t see any difference between Turkish and International media. Most of mass media tools are controlled by some big companies in respect to their economic profits. Their economic benefits have close relation with people’s concern about these companies. Around the world, media tycoons acknowledge about importance of reliance on their companies. For this reason, they know that media is most useful tool to attract people’s interest. For example, in Turkey some conservative groups support some media companies with their financial contribution and they carry on to support regularly through some unbroken relation chains. In this way, they effort to expand their politic powers by way of buying new media companies and so they become more powerful than before. In this case, political views change through in one direction because of big companies expectations from media tools. So, media broadcast according to profits of owner company and media foundation become untrusty. Same situation is acceptable for international media. In current case, companies tend to become more collective in respect of pass. Small companies are purchasing by big ones and freedom of thought are restricted by powerful ones. If capitalist economies continue to redound the rate of big companies political condensation I think political situation is going to be worse than present conditions.

There is a great family. : )

It’s taken from http://onur123.edublogs.org/files/2008/11/aile4za.jpg

My family as like as other Turkish families. You can see the dominance of father but it is also balanced from him and other family members. Decisions are generally gave by my mother and father collectively but besides, in some important situations they take our views (me and my sister) since we were child. At side of this, I think coherence is the most important part of my family. Dominance of my father doesn’t effect us in a bad way such as our personal choices which is about our future so I and my sister feel us selective about our expectations but also my father try to orientate us to several different actions which can add us new views and he is very consistent about it’s attitude. Moreover, my mother waits from me and my sister more collective relation then her and her siblings’ have. Her altitudes supports us in that way. On the other hand, especially my sister doesn’t take up seriously about my father’s and mother’s views ( I think it is also about her age.) but I have stronger tendency about my parents’s feelings than my sister. Briefly, I am totally satisfied from my family relations.

Families are basic components of societies. They play a very important role to define general composition  of communal conscious which is about casual events or moral values such as policy and religion. Besides, it is clear that if anyone wants to understand whole society, that person initially should look once a family because it is the first step of the staircase which is going to characterize whole socity. In a society, people generally share common beliefs and customs and so they benefit from this customs when they arrange their social relations such as type of greet show variety from culture to culture. I think, this basically depends on to family discipline and again I think this condition is more general in conservative societies. For this reason, we can see importance of the family concept in most part of the world.

It depicts sexual relationship between two men.

It takes from http://www.impawards.com/2005/brokeback_mountain.html

Same sex marriage is accepted by societies as a controversial subject and many people still don’t want to mention about this topic because everybody knows that nobody won’t produce a clear conclusion about that. Besides, this situation is going to be more complex in terms of societies. People reject same sex marriage or same kind relations because they complain about its immoral part. It cannot ignorable according to them and since people have been accepting some general marriage concept. (They have been starting to refuse same sex relations which were accepted as normal in Greeks, Ottomans and Safavids.) This marriage concepts are basically highlighted importance of the procreation because most of people believed that, families have to have their own children who continue their generations. I think, that is most obvious part of common belief but I don’t accept this view because it shouldn’t affect to population in a tremendous way and according to me, in the future, people’s ideas will change in benefits of homo sexual people because in fact, it isn’t an unchangeable opinion. Not a personally but socially, when people will have completely different view about marriage, they only give importance to content of relation not to sexual identity.

I think, the story includes very strange and complicated relations between father (Stew)and his daughter(Kitty). Both of them are within a visible conflict. Their behaviour and characteristic features are completely different and hence they can’t find any mutual point between themselves to share their emotions. When Kitty was small, they could find a way like small cute games to communicate but after a few years, kitty became teenager and her interests had changed so their relations became broken down. Besides, when I observed Stew’s father, I recognized the same situation between themselves. I think, Stew’s experiences show that, he is unknowing about family care because hi didn’t see any interest from his father. In addition, Kitty has a rebellious character, so lack of interest of his father, directs her to strange habits. For all that, Stew carries on his routine life unaware of her daughter.

Dylan in 1963

I think, the story drew a comparison between early modern times(1960-1970) and the contemporary times. Both of them include same social problems in terms of youth culture. Teenagers meet with same conditions and they try to deal with environmental issues. As Joyce Carol Oates has noted, the young generations feel bound to adopt their characteristics into popular trends and recognaziably, as author’s mentioned metaphorically, they may find themselves in a unknown way. In this situation, they realize their all of daily problems and failures. The other remarkable point is that, in that times, relations have been started to construct the basis of nowadays family relations because I observed same problems in disconnections of family relations such as attitudes of Connie’s to her mother.

In this story , Miss Emily had has deeply emotional depression. She ignores to go outside or being social because of her strong relations with past. So, she constructs a different world for herself but at last, outside world has starting to affect her own personal world in many kind of materalistic ways such as her neighbours interferences.
