Population

        
1. My grandparents have 9 children totally. My father’s family have 6 children (5 boys and a girl) and from my mother’s family have 3 children (2 boys and a girl). My Family have 3 children my twin and older brother (poor mother she said “it was difficult to raise 3 boys). I’ve never thought about how many children I will have. Its maybe because of I don’t have any plan for marriage.

2. Turkey’s population is approximately 75 million. In my opinion population growth supposed to decrease quality of life. However, government say that we have better quality of life than previous years so it seems like population don’t have any negative impact on quality of life.

 3. Millions of people move from rural areas to the cities every year in Turkey especially to Istanbul. From economical perspective, Istanbul is the most powerful city in Turkey and Istanbul’s population is over 17 million (22% of the total population) and researchers say Istanbul’s population will reach 30 million within 10 years so it will be impossible to live in Istanbul. Even now we have lots of problems. Such as; traffic jams (biggest problem), living conditions (too expensive when compare with other cities in Turkey), less space and more pollution
 

De Niro's Game

 
    De Niro’s Game, it was a quite interesting book which is written by Rawi Hage This book is about daily war life so I sometimes bored while I was reading book. However I read this book different than I read before. While I was reading De Niro’s Game, I thought about how author use the language, how he impressed the emotion of daily war life as much as I can. I think it helped me to understand the book more efficiently and it gave me an idea about how I can make an analysis about books/. Also this book project improved my critical thinking skills and I had fun during the book project.

Happiness

  
  
     Happiness, it’s difficult to explain with one world but basically happiness is satisfaction for me. If somebody asks “what does happiness mean to people, I’m sure everyone will give different answer. People can be happy when they get a good job, married, or child. Even they can be happy when they see their friends which they didn’t see for a long time. We always have to look for happiness because it’s the one of the primary element which gives as a pleasure for life. Also according to some scientists’ studies people who have a feeling of pleasure, live longer and look younger. Therefore, you shouldn’t give up when you failed. You have to work harder and harder. I’m sure you will reach your goals when you try harder and at the end you will be happy.

Research Topic

I want to do something about sports but sport is too general so I narrowed it as a soccer.  I have 2 idea  in my mind. First one is,(Soccer Industry, Marketing) how soccer clubs support their finance and how can clubs spend hundreds of millions of dollar a year. The second one is soccer's effects on people and social environment.
