REFLECTION TASK 1B

         Social networking sites are becoming so popular in these days. For some people, they would have nothing to do if the social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter were not. Therefore, what made me choose this topic is the obsessive thought of the people. Because those sites are important for me, too but they are not a big part of my life, I cannot understand the idea of giving the control of their life to social networking sites. Those people spend their most of time for those sites instead of their family, friends and observing what happening around them. Hence, too hanging out in those sites makes us anti-social although their name is the “social” networking sites. The other thing that disturbs me is that people ignore the grammatical rules of their native language. They do not attach importance to the right writing of the words by using abbreviation. And also as everything related to those sites are in English, people neither write them correctly in English nor try to translate them into Turkish such as using “tivitır” instead of “twitter”.  As a person studying over foreign languages, I care about using the correct grammar in each language. I try to warn the people also but just I or just you cannot change them. Therefore, we need to gather and make every obsessive people be aware of this issue.
