                             SOCIAL NETWORK SITES

     I chose this topic because I know how much social network sites have influence on our life. This topic has a huge significance in terms of both personal and societal. The world, we live in, can’t be thought without internet and network sites. I would like to make an interpretation about this topic because it recalls for me an exceptional event which took place in my university campus. I want to narrate this incident briefly. One fine day, I went on the internet and I saw an invitation for snow war which would be arranged by the youths who stay at dormitories. Firstly, I had no intention to attend this organization because of my notion which was that nobody would participate in this war. I couldn’t imagine that all people would be informed of it in just two days. So I didn’t emphasis on the invitation about snow war and I forgot it. But two days later, somebody threw a snowball to the windows of my dormitory. Then I and my roommates heart a lot of noise from outside. When I looked at the outdoors, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Almost all undergraduate people from all dormitories on campus came to our dorm by holding handful of snow. At that moment I understood how the social media influences people. This impact is positive.
   Besides, because of social network sites, people publish their all individual information and ill-intended people can reach their information easily in this way. Even where they live and work is easily accessible. So I have enough background information on this topic. That’s why I determined this topic. Eventually we are a fragment of the world of social media.


VIDEO:


I chose to upload this video, because I like it so much.The young are in pain because of the snowball, but at the same time they prolong to throw the snowball to each other by yelling ‘hit-hit-hit’J In my opinion, two people who are recording this video have more fun than people at the war do. Since the two people are not in pain. They take a shelter and just observe and also laugh the others. I am so sorry that I could not exist in this war at that day,because I had a temperature. Hence I had to watch them by looking at the window of my dormitory:( But this year, when the weather is snowy, I will attend this operation irregardless of illness even if I am sick, I promise myselfJ

  1. I agree with Begüm and like her reflection very much because social network sites have really a big part of our lives. Especially in our campus, maybe because of the free net, people are more liable to use net. I think it changes our lives. It makes us unsocial sometimes, for example we open a group on facebook and share something special there. I don't tell that it is useless and bad. On the contrary, using net with these purposes is really impressive, but if it is possible, we should come together and share our ideas face to face, in my opinion. Even if we are able to see each other, for example we are at the same dormitory, we use social sites to communicate. And I also want to mention something. I konw some people who meet on social network sites and make friend, but when they see each other face to face, they don't talk even a word. To sum up, I love these stes and use them usually but we shouldn't exaggerate its amount.

  3. I agree with Begüm about how social networks are effective such as facebook. I can say many things about this issue as a facebook addicted, but the most important thing is communication facility of socal networks. The event that Begüm narrated above is the same event that happened to me. I hadn't thought that it would be heard by many people, but than I realized that not many people but everybody came to the war! I was so surprised to see such an event like Begüm. Also I use other social networks like twitter, and it is a good site to hear what happens in the world. My roommate use twitter 24 hour in a day and she knows everything about current events because she reads whatever publishes there. Therefore social networks are inevitable sites and are used by lots of people.
