My Short Entires

 Nigeria is the most effected country from measles compared to the other countries. One of the major causes of child deaths is measles according to IDP (internally displaced persons) camps reports. The special condition of Nigeria is also linked with low routine immunization (RI) coverage, because Nigeria  has experienced these outbreaks repeatedly. Large measles outbreaks are affected Nigeria in 2019 and UNICEF and WHO declared that and 79 percent increase occurred in the 2022. Borno State is the most affected of all. As of August 20202, Global Measles Outbreaks page is updated and Nigeria has a record of 18,628 cases (WHO Data). Another problem is that US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that many countries already put off measles campaigns due to COVID-19 pandemic. This may result in bigger outbreaks not only in Nigeria but all around the world.     Current solutions are conventional vaccination teams, an outbreak response immunization (ORI) ...

In a lecture I recently atteneded, I learned somehting new in terms of the concept of climate change. Even though I knew that countries such as US and China is quite high in terms of Carbon emission, I haven't thought about the big responsibilities upon the shoulders of those countries compared to other countries which are far below rates of the top 3 countries.  When think about how we can achieve climate justice, the first thing I need is the definition. When I looked it up on the internet, I saw that it means that each country taking responsibility for battling climate crisis and benefitting from the results fairly. According to this definition, here are my solutions.  Firstly, all countries need to choose private or governmental agencies that will be trusted by all other countries that can determine each country's contribution to carbon emission. If these actions has to be taken together to provide climate justice, that means they have to accept the regulations which will ...

The issue with being a man and a woman I believe is an issue that comes as a a result of the toxicity of the male and female behaviors. That is why I am trying to come up a with a perspective (definition of the problems, solutions etc.) which serve men and women equally since both parties and the society as a whole are suffering drastically.  Even though I am raised in a traditional Turkish household where women is respectful to their fathers and husbands, and caring for their families by cooking, cleaning, providing the main child care and educating their children in early development years (while they have the option of working because they have good education and can find a job easily, but voluntarily chose to spend their time in house and manage household duties) it would be very unfair of me to say it was toxic just because there was a hierarchy that was respected by both woman and man. Also, calling women opressed because they do these works is very disrespectful to woman too...

 My views on another presentation: Today we all had our presentations, 5 teams and lots of hard work. I really liked how different teams were coming up with different solutions. Some of the teams were focusing on the importance of using technology in the intuitions unlike introducing our products as we did. I wasn't expecting that, because I though we all were coming up with our business plans regarding education technologies. The first team had great style in their presentation. It was very pleasant to listen their speeches. Second team used a style that I might not choose to use personally. The images were kind of big and I learned from a graphic designer that when images are to close to the sides it creates this overwhelming effect. I also congratulate third and fourth team who used data regarding  usage of technology in a way that capturing our interest. I loved listening all the teams.   My views on our presentation I want to make three points regarding our pres...

 General Course of the Class: Today was about making our edits on our presentation, deciding the our roles, and discussing our presentations with Rab. We started off with going to breakout rooms. Judi and I started to discuss our speeches and presentations. Zehra has very sick and she joined us later. Later, we realized there were problems with the mouth, head, heart order. We changed Judi's place with Zehra's. We merged Judi's presentation with mine. Finally, we asked our questions to Rab when he visited us. He made comments on how we should change our font, make all the style same throughout the slides. I asked him about the duties of mouth and heart one more time to clarify everything. Rab's final comments was not to fill the slides with bullet points.  My Reaction: Working as a group, merging the different styles and asking our questions to our Rab was today's highlights. Meeting to make our final edits showed me that we were not working as a group but more of i...

General Course of the Class:  Today aim was to learn making presentation with PSE style. Even though we discussed in the class before that we should put less text in our slides, once again we started off with discussing how using bullet points in slides makes the audience incapable of comprehending the content. Rab then showed us presentation slides which were designed poorly and filled with bullet points. He also conducted interactive activities to help us better understand its uselessness. Later on, after we moved on the document about the 7 Principles of a good presentation based on a Zen technique. Speaker emphasized the importance of using naturalness and simplicity throughout the presentation. He gave the some examples from designs with so much visual content and 3D graphs. Finally Rab stressed the principles of CRAP (Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity). He stated that using the same style and an aligned form throughout the slides is very important. Repeating the ...
