 * f**Phase I: Who Am I? What's My Place?

** Actually, my identity always changes. Sometimes i become so shy, sometimes so stubborn, sometimes so angry without any reason, rarely jealous, and i think that sometimes i'm acting like an anime character. My identity is about the day which i am living. ** ** I need a calm, small, tidied place to think better, like my home. When i go to somewhere crowded, i want to shop, hang out with someone in a cafe, or watch the people groups. ** ** In group projects, if i'm in a bad mood, i can't help to the group so well. If the place is not comfy, i can't think so well. The place is so important for me. ** **I think my imagination can help a little to the group.** ** Smoking is a very big problem in my country. Maybe the markets can sell the cigarettes with too expensive prices so amount of people buying cigarettes can be less. Or the prime minister can open some places like BodyWorld to make people understand the hazards of smoking. ** ** First, that person must be confident. After that, i believe that he / she can solve all the problems. **

Phase II: Sense of Place

** This building is "Anıtkabir". It is in Ankara. This place is often sunny and warm in summer, and cold in winter. Ankara has continental climate. This is the place which Atatürk -the man who saves the Turkey- lies. It's Atatürk's tomb. It's important for Turkey because it is the tomb of the founder of the Turkish Republic. ** **These are some pictures from Kuşadası, Aydın. Kuşadası is a peaceful and a green place. It is generally warm. It has historical, beautiful and clean streets.** ** Turkey connects Europe and Asia. So Turkey is on a special place. ** ** There is a special project named 'TEMA' in Turkey. This project's goals are saving our forests, combating soil erosion, and saving our natural beauties and make people know how to save our natural beauties. **

Phase III: Identify Local Issue:

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">** What is your local issue? ** <span style="color: #cf00ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**I think informing the smoking people doesn't work. We should make them afraid from smoking hazards with some ways like placing a lot of pictures about smokers' lungs to billboards, and somethings like that... About fans' fights, we should arrest the fighting fans, without any hesitates.** ** Well, i believe that smoking problem happens in all countries. But i think that big football fights are happening in only Turkey. It can happen in all countries, but in Turkey, people are dying and football arenas are having economic damages. **
 * <span style="color: #cf00ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">As i told before, smoking is a very big problem in my country. And with that, lots of people are dying from lung problems. And starting fights between the opposite teams' fans after football matches is a very big problem, too! Someones are trying to prevent the fights with accepting only women and children but it is not enough. **
