THE KARDASHEV SCALE

Wed, 29 Jun 2022 12:34:00 +0000

Kardashev Scale is a scale that defines technological development of civilizations. The method of this scale is doing that according to energy amount that can be used for communication. Scale has 3 categories those determined as a type 1, type 2 and type 3.

We will explain below those 3 categories;

Type 1 civilization: It named as a Planetary Civilization. This civilization can use and stock the energy that comes from near stars.

Type 2 civilization: This kind of civilizations can take and use all of energy of near stars. The most popular project of humanity to be type 2 civilization is Dyson Ball. To sum up, Dyson Ball Project aim to cover all around of Sun with Solar Collectors.

Type 3 civilization: These civilizations can use, collect and stock all energy of galaxy that they are living in it. This type of scale is totally hypothetical.

Why Kardashev Scale did named like this?

At first in 1964 Soviet Astronom Nikolay Kardaşev submitted this idea.

In 2012, the world energy consumption(tüketim) was 553 eczajoules (553×10¹⁸ J=153,611 TWh), which is equivalent to 17.54 TW of power usage, i.e. 0.724 on Sagan's scale.

DEAD LANGUAGES

Wed, 29 Jun 2022 12:26:00 +0000

Language is communication equipment between ancient communities and new generations. Ancient civilizations created languages to be able to live with each other. In recent years, experts explored that the end of some languages is coming.

The term of ‘dead language’ is used for languages which are not using by anybody. So, why do end of languages come?

If there is no any institution or community that protects language, this language will be ownerless.
If the population of a language ending steadily and number of people do not increase this status brings end of language.

This kind of reasons effect end of languages. Although ending language is sad it has pros and cons from different angles. Actually dying languages means that there will be less languages for people. When someone go somewhere, he/she won’t need to learn another language. People can easily live everywhere with one language. Same languages creates same cultures, same cultures make same emotions for events. Another claim is that most of languages which are dead, they are useless in daily life. There are rare people speaking those languages and they are hard to use for scientific research, to write articles. The common ground for those languages is that those languages are spoken in very limited space. Those are example for languages which are died;

Phoenician language
Akkadian language
Hittite language
Khazar language
Khitaian Khitaian

The stubborn fact is that language is not just a language. Language has sentimental values. Language means at the same time that cultural heritage and connection with past of community. Language is a link that keeps people with each other. Communities create a common history with their languages. National culture is first and the most important factor for countries. The way to be an original nations is having a independent language.

Taking into account all of these pros and cons, in my opinion the sentimental values are more important. Because when a language died, the culture die too. Culture is sine qua non for a nation. All of the countries whic are assimilated started to assimilated with losing their language.

MATERIALISM

Tue, 14 Jun 2022 08:14:00 +0000

Materialism is a philosophical viewpoint. Materialism has been developed in three age;

Axial Age,
Middle Age and
Enlightenment Age.

According to materialists there is no anything that is metaphysical. Everything, even consciousness is a item. The theory of Materialism expresses that physical items are only or main reality.

Materialists asks those questions to humanity 'Where does reality come from? What is essential of the reality?' For Idealistic approach in philosophy, soul and consciousness is main of life. 'Item' is main for materialism.

The principles of Materialism;

Information comes from owing to observations and experiences.
Appearance, cannot be explained by God or Soul otherwise the 'item' of appearance can be ignored.
Everything comes from items continued as a item.

In ancient China, Xun Zi (b.c.312-230) developed confucianism theory based on realism and materialism.

In the beginning of 12 century, Arabic philosopher Ibn-Tufayl wrote a novel named Hayy bin Yaqzan. It was about materialism thinking.

Schopenhauer refer from materialism as a 'philosophy that forget to regard itself'. According to Schopenhauer, 'consciousness and item (it means subject and object) is identical thing that saw/looked from different sides.

MIRACLES

Tue, 14 Jun 2022 08:11:00 +0000

Miracles can be described as an metaphysical status or exception. Generally the miracles cannot be explained with scientific facts. As much as we understand from researchers and scientific studies, miracles told to us from religions or from old civilizations. We can see most of the miracles in fairy tale, myths, and sacred books.

Miracles had been defined by the experts in 3 figure;

Sensorial,
Informative,
Rational

miracles.

Sensorial miracles just for group which will effect from miracle and it is bordered by time and place.

Informative miracles given information to somebody before events happens.

Miracles which are in the sacred books are supports from God to prophet to show that religion is right. This is an example for rational miracle.

Most of people confuse the magics with miracles. There is a tiny difference between magics and miracles. Magics are opticial illusion and sense illusion however miracles mostly comes from divine sources. Magics totally base on tools and movements. Magics are human phenomenon.

When looked from theological angle, there is a difference between miracle and divination. Miracles are just for prophets but divination is something extraordinary that given to rare people.

LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE AT SCHOOLS

Tue, 15 Feb 2022 14:54:00 +0000

Language is a communication channel for people to be able to live in society. Societies connect by language with each other. Learning a foreign language is very important to connect with foreign people. School is a place for being able to learn a foreign language by lessons. Some experts are saying learning a foreign language in primary school is more effective according to learning a foreign language in secondary schools.

The world is changing. Societies have so many mutual relations such as economic, social, cultural, scientific etc. People will need to be more ' worldhuman' in the future like 'renaissance human' in the past. Historians are explaining the renaissance human like this; a person who improved himself/herself in every kind of art or a person who read so many books in his/her time. Experts are explained the world human like this; a person who is open to new cultures, open to new developments and to be understand every kind of people from different countries. 20. century people to being able to do new reforms, new scientifically improvements, new technological developments they have to learn first of all new foreign languages. Otherwise, they will be stayed in their old worlds.

According to my opinion who has two native language, I agree with experts who supports learning a foreign language in the primary schools. Learning a foreign language in the smaller ages has several benefits like;

-can improve confident

-can have more fun while learning

-can be more active while learning

-can improve scientifically and mathematically talents

-can have faster and truer information from sources

-can adapt to new differences easily

-can be easier to learn third language

Summarily, learning a foreign language in small ages will not improve just language abilities and also will be positive effect consciousness. Children who educated language in smaller ages are more focusable and they can think more truly.

WEIGHT OF PEOPLE AND DECRISING OF HEALTH

Sun, 13 Feb 2022 13:03:00 +0000

Nutrition is one of the most necessary factors of human life. Eating habits has been change in 21 century because of fast-food restaurants and other factors. Unhealthiness and weight of people, has been increased same causes in some countries.

Being very fat and don't doing sports has been described with word of obesity in literature. Being very fat and don't doing sports has been described with word of obesity in literature. Nowadays, we started frequently hear ''The unhealthiness and the weight of people increased'' in Televisions. Motionlessness has been increased by improving technology. Obesity, has been reached to the highest rates in developed countries. More than half of 671 million obese people are living in USA, China, India, Russia, Brazil, Egypt, Germany, Pakistan and Endonesia. When we look at those counted countries, we may observe those factors;

Excessive and incorrect eating habits
Insufficient physical activity
Drinking alcohol and smoking
The number of births and the dec between births
Income status

Obesity has been increased by those issues in those countries. Research shows that the following factors may affect overweight;

Age
Gender
Educational background
Socio-cultural factors
Hormonal and metabolic factors
Genetic factors

In order to protect people from being unhealthy and overweight, attention can be paid to the following article;

Physical activity
Avoiding prepared foods
Drinking enough water
Paying attention to sugar consumption

Prevention of obesity should begin in childhood. Because of that families, children and communities should educate about being healthy individuals. Governments or People should support Non governmental organizations about health, sports etc. Otherwise, Generations who will come after us will be more unhealthier then us.

GOOD MEMBERS OF SOCİETY

Thu, 28 Oct 2021 22:11:00 +0000

Societies made by so many different communities. Children are the youngest individuals of the societies. The meaning of youngest, sometimes can be the people who need to educate very well. In that point, the adults divided to 2 groups. The first group think that; ‘Children can be extremely good members of society at schools’. The other group think that; ’The best place to educate children is their home’.

Family is the smallest community in the social life. The stubborn fact is that, education is starting with families. According to studies, Parents shouldn’t impose on their truth to children because the social life’s rules are changing by going. Parents should show which things bad and which things good for general society and also there are several academical studies about this subject. When we investigated the thesis that studied about this subject, we saw that the resources also differed in their thesis. The thesis showed us that, in every part of life, effects of the families is continuing. The effects are starting in mother’s womb. While parents show their love dotingly to their babies, it is effecting in a good side. Otherwise, if parents smoke, drink alcohol or quarrels by loudly in front of the babies, that is effecting the subconscious of the babies. When they grow up and become members of society, they will be self-enclosed and valetudinary individuals. Those children are more likely to be people who bother people, exact a tribute, beg, than people who grew up in other healthy environments. When children started to go to schools, teachers may see those effects in children. As a matter of fact, for the people who are in second group, the schools are useful places for children to show their characters. Families can observe behaviours of children how they educated the children. When we come to first group, if parents didn’t be careful about their children, in other words, if parents let everything to educators and do not analyse behaviour of children, they can encounter with unintended consequences. Educators surely can teach science and social societies rules to children. But, They can’t be able to teach purely one by one children. There are on an average 20-25 child in the classrooms so it can be hard to roll out the red carpet for every child. School or another education places have advantages for observe, analyse, discern and effect children. Those advantages listed below;

Children can be more social individuals at schools.
Easy to have confidence.
The best place to learn being respectful.
Learning what is the benefits of sharing.
Learning how to live in regular societies.
Because of like those reasons, schools are impactful places for children.

As far as I'm concerned, the people who advocating those two assertion have reportedly correct. Schools are great places for children to improve their capability, a philosophy of life, self-improvement with living in society. Homes are strictly private for children too. Parents can improve cognitive development of the children at home. While children in 2 years old, their emotional intelligence is improving and while children in 3 years old, their mathematical intelligence is improving. Hence, we should say they are just children and treat randomly. We need to be conscious of that. All of things that we dwelled on, effects the children about being a good member of society.

WATER RECYCLE

Fri, 02 Jul 2021 08:16:00 +0000

Oceans are big masses of water. This water does not just stand still but keeps its cycle in the nature. Having a significant importance in our lives, oceans can also serve us as a resource for drinking water. At first, water evaporates from these oceans by the warming effects of the sun. Then, this vapor turns into clouds. When the clouds meet a cold layer in the atmosphere, the vapor is cooled and falls back on Earth as rain via precipitation. This event usually occurs around mountain area. The rain is usually stored as ice and snow on the mountains, and some of this rain runs down into the valleys as rivers and streams. Meanwhile, some of this water is absorbed by the ground and it goes underground. Later, the water finds its way to the surface and streams into rivers and join them on their way back to the oceans. Eventually, the water reaches to the oceans to restart its journey within the water cycle. Finally, the cycle starts all over again.

Selling fur must be ban or not ?

Sat, 27 Feb 2021 11:35:00 +0000

According to me, The fur absouletly should band. Because the fur made by animal which are extinct animal, like some kind of shark, lion, corcodille, bird like ostrich people made with their. Hair or something like that, pillow, jacket, bag so it must be band. But some of scientist working with this things. But they are using plume of chicken for some substructure desing. For example, My teacher study about it. But there is another perspective. For example, we are secrifice some ox. We can't throw their skins to garbage so we need to evaluate them like pillow, accesory, prayer rug or shoes, jacket, because it's already will be. So if we evaluate them. It's better. But for extinct animal we must not do it. Because they are already a few and we should protect them. For fur very animal killed. And while they are doing that they are feeling honorly. It's just ego of people. Rich people want to show theirselves with like value clothes to other people or just for fashion. That is unsufferable.

Will we still use the credit card in the future ?

Sat, 27 Feb 2021 07:39:00 +0000

As to me, the credit cards are useful for many people so we will still use it. Even if, at least it's makesense will be like now. Because 5 years is not long time. Maybe after 15-20 years. And there is another thing which is people run away from the credit card. Because of they can't take theirselves and spend a lot of money. If people still use it, they will be poor and they can lost everything which is they have, with distraint.

If we look at that topic about normal, I mean as salary card. It's more useful than cash. Because we can't put our all money in wallet. We can use just a card and use it for everything. Also it's not debt, it's our money. It's very beneficial. But if we use the credit card in a good way it's very beneficial to. Because,Sometimes we don't have money, in this situation we use credit card and pay our debt when we had. Finally we should use it in a beneficial and propotional way. So we will still use credit card in the future.
