Education in Foreign Language

METU and some other universities in Turkey give education to their students in english language. I think that getting education in english language is good because it helps us have many opportunities. English language has become a world language. First of all, it will help us find jobs easier because we know a second language and the language we know is used almost everywhere in the world. When employers are going to choose an employee for their company; we will always be preferred to a person who applies for the same job with us but does not know english. Secondly, we can understand and communicate with many people from different parts of the world. So we can travel around the world and although our nationality, culture and the native language are quite different from the people of the country we visit, we find a common language to communicate and express ourselves to those people. People might claim the the education language for the students who study chemistry, physics and other sciences should not be english. But this is not right. I think it will also be helpful for those students to get education in another language which is the world language. They will have opportunitiy to read and understand the speeches, the books of the best scientist who right their works in english language and give speeches in english. Although we can find the translations of their works, i think it is better to read the original books and other stuff because the translations are not always done well.

Restriction of Euthanasia

Euthanasia is nothing different than murdering an ill person. In my opinion, it should never be permitted by the government. I think there is always a hope and no one should spoil it. At any time the patient may recover. We can not predict the future so we can not just end a life by saying that there is no chance for patient. We are not the ones who gave life to body so we cant take it as well. Also everyone has a right to live even though they are in a very bad situation. We should also think about the situation considering the family of the patient. The family of the patient will always have a hope and even though the hope is very small; that hope will make the family feel good and will keep them tide. People might say that it is so expensive for the patient to live, nothing is more valuable than a person. Government should take precaution for such type of patients rather than permitting the euthanasia to be legal.

Banned Sites

Sometimes governments close web sites because of their contents. In my opinion; a web site should be closed only when it commits a big crime or when it manipulates and confuses people's minds by showing wrong things as they were right or making people do bad things. If a web site is closed due to some information that is not exactly known or because of its different approach to ideas; that web site should not be closed. No one has a right to do it. Because we are free to express our ideas. People might say that the information on the closed web site was totally wrong so the restriction of the web page was a good idea. But the factuality of the information does not concern us. It may be the viewpoint of the writer and we are free to think different.
