I hereby nominate Mr. Kemalettin Uçucu for the person of the year. Uçucu was born in Sivas, on a snowy day of November, in 1965. His mother and father were poor. This motivated him to work harder in order to become rich in the future. He graduated from a public primary school in Sivas, after which he was admitted to Galatasaray High School in Istanbul. In Galatasaray, he learnt how to speak French and English as fluently as a native speaker, and he also studied classical Latin and Greek works of Renaissance. While studying Da Vinci, he fell in love with anatomy and human medicine, which led him to study at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in the United States. During his studies at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, he was at the top of his class. Amazingly, he started to perform operations when he was in his second year at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He chose neurology as his field of study due to his intense fascination with the workings of the human brain. After graduation, he completed his Philosophy Doctorate in 1992. His cumulative grade point average was 4.00, one of the best in his department. After completing his Philosophy Doctorate, he completed many internships, and became a professor of neurology in 1994. In 1995, he returned to Turkey to work in his home town. It is amazing that he chose to work in a public hospital instead of constructing his own office. Since 1997, he has worked in Sivas Public Hospital. Uçucu often goes out of his way to help his patients. At least two weeks a year, he travels around Turkey to perform free operations to people who need them. Though, he increases this sometimes. Due to his selfless devotion to his job, I nominate him for the person of the year.

Reflection 2b

During this semester, I did a pair-shadowing activity during my Listening and Pronunciation class. The monologue, which I acted out, was from the movie A Few Good Men. I chose this scene, which I have shared with you below, because the rhetoric of Colonel Jessup was quite appealing to me. He can speak very influentially.
The scene opens in a court-martial. Lieutenant Weinberg asks Colonel Jessup if he ordered the code red for Private Santiago. A code red is a violent extrajudicial punishment. Lieutenant Weinberg goes on to state that he is entitled to answers. Moreover, he wants the truth. Afterwards, Colonel Jessup says that Lieutenant Weinberg cannot handle the truth. He starts his monologue, which is full of such traditional motifs as militarism, martyrdom, patriotism, discipline etc. In the monologue, Colonel Jessup justifies his decision to order the code red. Shortly after the monologue, he admits that he gave the code red order for Private Santiago. The monologue is indeed filled with anger.
This scene is significant in that a lieutenant felt like inquiring about the death of Private Santiago, who was significantly lower-ranked than he was. It is also of high importance due to the fact that the one who is being questioned by a lieutenant is a colonel, who is of superior rank. This situation is completely in opposition to the principles of the military.
I really enjoyed acting out this scene, which was full of emotions. Furthermore, Colonel Jessup was easy for me to portray.

Reflection 2a

Hello, I am Enes Sarıbaş.  Today I am going to be discussing preventative computer security measures that can be taken to protect computers and computer networks. Preventative computer security measures are necessary in order to protect user’s privacy. However, in order to implement these security measures, one needs to be aware of the different sources of possible attacks. The most important ones are malware attacks, hack attacks and port scans on open ports and exploits that take advantage of vulnerabilities in unpatched software.  First of all, malware attacks are the most common form of attack today. These attacks can occur in many ways such as infected removable devices, hacked websites that try to install malware, spam e-mails that contain infected attachments and fake antivirus websites. The second most significant form of attacks are hack attacks and port scans on unprotected networks. A port is like a door between your computer and the Internet.  When ports are open and visible on port scans, hackers can gain access to the computer and install malware using the open ports. The other most significant attack vectors are exploits that take advantage of vulnerabilities in unpatched software. Hackers are constantly searching for vulnerabilities and bugs in software that if successfully exploited, can allow hackers to take complete control of a user’s system. Specially crafted files that are designed specifically to exploit these vulnerabilities are called exploits. All these attacks can be prevented with safe computing practices. Malware attacks can be blocked by using common sense and an antivirus program. Users should not open suspicious e-mail attachments and should stay away from suspicious sights. Hack attacks and port scans can be blocked by closing all ports.  This can be accomplished either with a software or hardware firewall. Exploits can be stopped by always keeping all software up-to-date.  Users should always install security patches for all software installed on their personal computers.
