Books I Recommend - 1

1-) Of Mice and Men - John Steinbeck

In the book, the author talks about 2 friends who are committed to their dreams. The ending is sad but a must read book.

2-) Hamlet - William Shakespeare
I am sure that Hamlet's thoughts will impress you greatly.You won't be able to get out of the book's influence for a long time.

3-) A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens

The author wrote the French Revolution in the book. After reading this book, I understood some things more clearly. I understood people's political thoughts better. I've seen what people can do for their thoughts.

4-) Lord of the Flies: Novel Guide - William Golding

The characters in the book are children. but they are more cruel than adults.I think the book is a bit boring. After reading it you understand the formation of hierarchy and society.

5-) Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury

Reading is forbidden in this world. A firefighter tasked with burning books begins to question why the books were banned.When he realizes why, he finds himself in another group of people.

It's been a very long blog. So I want to split it in two. I will write the rest later.

They should do research and choose a warm place." She said.  According to her, if you are going to stay in Turkey for a long time, you have to find a job with a good income. She is having a lot of trouble with money right now. She even wants to enter "kpss" and work in a public school. I couldn't tell her the truth.  She doesn't...

Can people think independently?

Philosophy is the whole of our thoughts that have brought us to the present. Since ancient times, people have been asking questions and looking for answers on many topics.

Yes, the technology is very useful and perfect for saving time. But will we, who don't even want to read books anymore, prevent other people from thinking for us in the future? Maybe because robots will do everything, the people of the future will be the robots of today a...
