Communication

          Years, many years ago, Adam and Eve who thought to be the firs humanbeing accordin to biblical informations, manage to conntrive to produce something which is now called,communication. Although it has been many years that since communication was first generated, it is still not clear how communication was formed. Apart from this, I am on the opinion of people’s having several communication ways are quite useful. 
There are three main communication ways which can be grouped as oral communication, written communication and non-verbal communication.

          
          First of all, since the day it was first produced, oral communication has been a vital,
important way for us to reach each other. Humankind, who realizes he has mouth, tongue,
lips, local cord and everything that is servicable while speaking, never gives up from speaking
after he started to talk. Also, he has used it for his many countless aims such as having fun,
helping each other, conveying information, understanding one another and so on. For
example, now, thanks to his speeches we are entertained by Cem Yılmaz, who is most popular
comedian of Turkey. If it is needed to think about our present world, we live by means of our
speeches. For instance students are tauught lessons by their teachers at their schools. As an
another example, when we want to buuy something we can easily get help from the shop
assistants when we talk to them. Also, we are addicted to our televisions. So, if films and
television series were silent there is no doubt tyhat many of us would not like them that much.
Examples are going to be countless. It has been an inevitable fact that speaking here, there,
and anywhere, is in our lives.

           

          Secondly, written communication comes. Mankind has been standing with a pen on
his hand since writing first found by Sumerians many, many years ago. With the help of
writing, man is able to know about his past, culture, language, literature and so on. Again
thanks to the writing, it seems that next generations to come, will know about the times that
we live. Writing is too, is very useful in many areas such as health, education, personal
relations and even politics. For example, hospitals use it for keeping their patients’ records or
even doctors make use of it so as to advise medicines. Also, teachers prefer writing method
for teaching lessons to their students. Moreover, we manage to keep in touch with our friends,
family members who are far away from us, by writing them via internet, cell phones or ,as an
old method, letters. Additively, a politician prepares his speech with writing before he
anounce it in front of public. Writing which is an essentially important communication way,
took its indispensable place in our lives.

           
           As for the non-verbal communication I am on the opinion that it is a strange and
different communication way for humanity. Humans established a weird relation through their
bodie movements and facial expressions. Thus, people can understand each other looking into
one another’s eyes, frequently. For example, if a person is angry about something, she
generally looks in a manner defined as “bad”. Or more simply, if she frowns her eyebrowns
without saying anything anybody can easily understand that she is clearly annoyed. As an
another example, a father con nod his head to his child when he approves something that child
has done. Also, smiling is always a symbol of being cıntented with the situation, so our father
can smile as he hears the thing child has made, with the aim of confirming it. Except from
these, deaf-mute people developed a way of talking with his hands, arms, fingers ,which we
named as sign language. Even if they can not speak with their voices, they can talk with signs.
Unfortunately. Most of us do not know their special language but it should not be so hard and
difficult to learn it for them so that we can make contact with them.


         
          In conclusion, communication is one of the elements that creates the coherence, unity and togetherness of mankind. With its three main methods, as I mentioned above,communication has been continuing to progress, everyday.

Black Out

“ Electricty is the set of physical phonemena asociated with the presence and flow of

ellectric charge. ” that is the Wikipedia deinition of electricity. Our world is divided into two

thanks to the sun as light and dark and the dark part is lightened by electricity since Thomas

Edison’s finding of the light bulb. However, in 2007, Chicago,Illionis, on the 7th of the June, 

at a normal day, everything was turned off. It was really clear that they were living in an

electric world, and everything decayed. Televisions, computers, factories, shortly everything

linked to electricty did not work. Governments collapsed the people who are smart left towns.

Going of the electricity, the black out leads to many consequences in several areas such as 

declining standards of living and there were people who constantly try to survive.



            At first, people’s living standards changed, they had to lighten their homes with

candles. Secondly, communication stopped for them by means of telephones, internet. Also

people who are far away from each other lived trouble of getting together because buses,

trains subways did not mean anything without  power. At that moment people started to

recognize that they belonged to a world which is designed luxuriously them since the

beginning of the humanity. The meaning of light had changed. In the past, with switching on a

button, there was a day-like light even in the  darkness light but now it was like the times of when Shakespeare had lived. 



            Secondly, life is filled with aggressive people who fight to survive because of illnesses

without medicines, scarcity of food, collapsing of the government and law systems. In time,

with factories not processing people started not to reach any kind of food source and people

who are in big towns are exposed to hunger, starve to death. As children of 21th century, they

are generally ignorant about medical issues. Simply they even have difficulty in staunching or

saving their ordinary woonds. As long as time passes, the problems got bigger, people started

to attack one another to enable themselves food, medicine and so on. Laws and governments

lost their sense, significance and validity because people wer hungry, aidless and hopeless.

They had to create their own hopes, lives by themselves. Moreover , with the cities becoming unsafe, people begin to migrate to rural areas, villages.



            In the city of Illionis we all have witnessed how deadly important the electricity is and  

what the possible consequences would be if it left us, forever. As a conclusion, thinking a

world without electricity means a world without light, hope, knowledge and many results that

we can not number or imagine. And it is simply because we can not cook the electricity, we

should use it more carefully and prudently.
