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

=== //I can say that who I am and what I belive in makes up my idenity.Family always comes first for me.I can get angry quikly and I can't forgive the other person for a while.I don't like being alone but I don't like spending time with strangers.I hate men who think their better than women and I always defend my opinions at every subject.I am a determined person and I like finishing what I start.// ===
 * What __really__ makes up your identity?

===// Home is where I feel most comfortable but I don't think that the place is that important.I'm happy wherever I am as long as I'm with my friends and family.But usually I don't like cold places I prefer hot places. Like instead of going on a skiing trip I'd prefer going to Hawaii. //===
 * What __really__ makes up your sense of place?

===// When working with others in a group project, I believe that my identity and sense of place provides me with the open minded to communicate effectively with others. I understand that people come from difference places and have different values. However, we are always able to find some common group where we can work together. //===
 * What roles do your identity and sense of place play when you work with others in a group project?


 * What are the qualities that you bring to the GLIP conversation that will help you make a contribution to your global group?

// I think that this project is very important and succesfull.I think I can discuss my country's problems with my other friends and I think I can find solutions for their contries. //
=== //I think the biggest problem in our city are the earthquakes. In 1999 there was a big earthquake in Sakarya, this really damaged the city,but we're still not catious enough about earthquakes.Actually the earthquakes are not just a problem for the city it's a problem for the country as well.We could build our buıldings stronger to be prepared for the earthquakes// .===
 * What is one local problem (where you live) that you believe needs to be addressed? Suggest some steps could you take to try to solve it?


 * Finally, some problems have been around for a long time. What qualities do you think a person must have to step up and try to solve them?

//That person should be creative to think a good solution for the problem. It should have a convincing personality to convince the other people to help.//
Phase II: Sense of Place



=== //This is Kent Park in Sakarya. Kent Park is a big park where you can rest, ride your bike, go for a picnic, have fun with your family or just walk on your own.There are a lot of trees and a ponds that ducks swim in.// ===



//This is the Sapanca Lake it's a big turist atraction in Sakarya.İt's a very nice natural beauty that you can't find everywhere.Sapanca Lake gets it water from the snows at the mountains.//


=== //Turkey is a hot country.The weather is usually sunny and every year thousands of people visit places like Antalya, Muğla and İzmir to swim and see the nice waterfalls and historical places.İstanbul is a very big tourist atraction point as well. Lots of people come to İstanbul to see the museums,mosques and a bunch of other historical places from all around the world.// ===

Phase III: Identify Local Issue:


 * ===What is your local issue?===

===// İ think the biggest local issue in our country are the earthquakes.Nearly every year a lot of people die because of the big earthquakes. This year a earthquake happened in Van a lot of people died and it effected the country. We should be much more curıous about this problem and i really appreciate China for the solutions they found for the big problem in there country earthquake. //===
