6. Another Object for Tough Guys in Turkey

as all you know tespih is a religious object. it is being used in many religions all over the world. in Islam we use tespih after we perform namaz while praying. but somehow in Turkey it also has another meaning. in Turkish society when we see a man with a tespih the first thing that come to our minds is he is macho and tough. religious meanings come to our minds secondly. That is because for many years we all see tough guys with tespih on their hands in movies and television. Surprisingly it is not a fictional thing that scriptwriters use, it is actually a real thing in underground world. for example if a person enters a place holding grip of tespih and spinning it with circular moves it means that he is showing that he is the ruler there...

5. Presentation Boys Don't Cry

although i didn't like the movie, i enjoyed our presentation. i was sick whole week and also today so i couldn't study too much for presentation but thanks to my group colleagues they helped very much and back up me very well. i think it is one of the advantages of making a practice presentation. our subject 'transexual people' is something very delicate and everyone should be careful when talking about it, so that we tried to be careful when we are selecting our sentences and deciding our approach. i expected more questions from my friends because everyone can say something about this subject. we also had a little problem during presentation, we opened the wrong file and we realise it too late :D Luckly we stored other one in two different flash disks. i don't want to think if we could't be able to find the correct one. it would be probably horrible :D:D i can say despite some little problems it was fun and useful...

4. Boys Don't Cry

I must admit that i didn't like the film. in fact if i didn't have to watch it because of presentation i probably shut it down in the 15th minute. :D but somehow something strange happened after i finished the movie, i started to think about transexuals lifes and how hard it is. we all know that thounds of them living with us but we usually pretend they are not even exist. we don't try to understand them. we look towards them like they are cursed. that is a shame of society. we forget that they are also human beings like us. After i think about all these ideas i realised thet this film is very successful because it creates an idea of tolerance in audiences minds. although i didn't enjoy the movie i should suggest it to everyone because it is useful to understand the people who have sexual identification problems....
