PERSON OF THE YEAR

EMMA WATSON

If I were a jury member of the committee which will choose the person of the year, my candidate would be Emma Watson.I chose her because of her humanitarian efforts and her support for women rights and gender equality. Emma was born on 15th April 1990. She is a British actor and model who is best known for the role she played in Harry Potter films.She has won and nominated for lots of awards.She has recently graduated from Brown University. She was appointed UN Women Goodwill Ambassador in July 2014.Now she serves as an advocate for UN Women's HeForShe campaign and she supports gender equality.She describes herself as a feminist, and thinks the word "feminist" is misunderstood by society.She has served as an ambassador for Camfed International, a movement to educate girls in rural Africa. At just 24 years of age, she has already been involved in the promotion of girl's education for several years and previously visited Bangladesh and Zambia as a part of her humanitarian efforts.In the interviews, "Being asked to serve as UN Women's Goodwill Ambassador is truly humbling.... The chance to make a real difference is not an opportunity that everyone is given and is one I have no intention of taking lightly.Women's rights are something so inextricably linked with who I am, so deeply personal and rooted in my life that I can't imagine an opportunity more exciting.I still have so much to learn, but as I progress I hope to bring more of my individual knowledge, experience and awareness to this role." said Emma. She also supported #direnkahkaha protests on Twitter.Here are some statements from her HeForShe speech;

"If men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted, women won’t feel compelled to be submissive. If men don’t have to control, women won’t have to be controlled.Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong. It is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum, instead of two sets of opposing ideals. If we stop defining each other by what we are not, and start defining ourselves by who we are, we can all be freer, and this is what heforshe is about. It’s about freedom."
For the whole speech, you can watch;

Reflection Task 2a

-Internet-

Today, internet is the inseperable part of our lives, that's why I chose this subject. Internet, abbreviation for Interconnected Networks, is a worldwide computer network that allows communication and data transfer between people connected to it. Today, almost everyone can access to internet easily.From chidren to elders, we have a wide range of internet users. Apart from internet's benefits, these users generally use internet for social media which is like a contagious epidemic in recent years. Social media is the all thing that is the sharings and dialogues people made on the internet. With the social media, lots of things started to change in our lives. For people, being foremost in innovations, sincerity and thoughts became important instead of realities, being objective and innovative.Because of being appreciated by likes on websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube etc, we become keen on using them. As we want more liking on these websites, we spend more time on them and we become addicted to internet in the end. Internet brings us closer to the world, but further from the life.For example, so many people playing games on the internet spend hours before computers, because they can't pause the game.As they want to be higher level, they spend more and more time on it. In the end, these people cut their links with real life, and their whole life consists of virtual world.Moreover, there are lots of people who doesn't know how to use internet consciously.Every day we come across with hundreds of people on the internet, and there is a quite big risk of being deceived by someone we met on internet. On the internet you can be anything you want, so some people take this advantage to rob or decieve other people.Despite all these bad sides of internet, it has also useful sides.You can search for information and share it easily, access to news, communicate with people from all around the world and have fun.To sum up, if you know how to use internet, you can improve yourself.It is up to you.

Reflection Task 2b

SLAP HER

As the violence to women increases more and more every day thanks to their being ignored by society and government, I chose this video to take attentions to this sensitive subject. Today, women are exposed to violence all around the world in different ways. This violence does not only damage on bodies, it also diminishes their self-esteem, resistence and desire to advocate their rights.In the video, there is a social experiment on boys from different age groups. First, they are asked some questions about their names, ages and dreams. Secondly they meet with a lovely girl whose name is Martina.As Martina is a lovely and beautiful girl, boys like her and feel ashamed a bit.They are asked about what they like about her and caress her. Boys couldn't touch her easily, because they felt shy and avoid to do it.After making funny faces, they are told to slap her hard.Thus, boys get shocked and after thinking what to do, they say "no". Then, they are asked why not, and here are some answers;

-Why? Because she is a girl, i can't do it. Why? 'Cause i'm a man!

-Because you're not supposed to hit girls.

-I don't want to hurt her.

-Jesus doesn't want us to hit others.Because it's bad.

-First of all I can't hit her, because she is pretty and she is a girl.As the saying goes: "girls shouldn't be hit, not even with a flower/ bouquet of flowers"

-Because i'm against violence.

I think videomaker touches on a good point from a very different perspective.As children are more innocent than adults and not aware of discrimination, they see themselves as an equal.But we can't pass it without saying, these children are probably informed about respect and equality by their parents.To me, this is one of the most important roles of parenting.

But I wonder how these children would react if this girl wasn't Martina. I mean if they hadn't liked that girl's appearence, would reactions be the same ? To me, this is the missing part in the video.But in spite of everything, I would like to appreciate this videomaker for his/her nice idea.

IN THE KIDS' WORLD, WOMEN DON'T GET HIT

Melike was born on 4th August 1978 in Istanbul.She had a problematic education life because of her dyslexia and not attendance.
