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

My identity is the person who I am, so it includes every detail of my charakter. My identity is everything what I was what I am and what Im gonna be in the future.
 * What __really__ makes up your identity?

The place where I am is the place Im thinking about, so even if my body isn't there I feel like I am there. So I can go wherever I want to go.
 * What __really__ makes up your sense of place?

I think it won't be a problem for me to work with people far away from me because like I said before 'I can go wherever I want to go.' And I think my identity will be important for the group project but this project may change my identity too. Who knows? Maybe Im gonna be a different person after this project.
 * What roles do your identity and sense of place play when you work with others in a group project?

I'm responsible, determined and I have good ideas, I think these are my qualities.
 * What are the qualities that you bring to the GLIP conversation that will help you make a contribution to your global group?

Turkey is one of the most beautiful places in the world. But our really big problem is that it's too dirty here. I think the first thing we should do is to make people understand that this is the place they live and that it's not OK. when it's dirty. I think after people understand that all this trash is just damaging theirselfs they willl take care.
 * 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?

I don't think that we really need personal qualities we just need to be decided about this. That's all.
 * 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?

Phase III: Identify Local Issue:

What is your local issue? Our local issues are earthquakes.

What can you do to be address the issue? I think we can build safe buildings and we can teach people how to behave when an earthquake happens.

What is the global impact of your local issue? Earthquakes are natural disasters. Most of Turkey is in the earthquake zone and this increases the intensity of the earthquakes happening in Turkey. This is the global impact of our local issue.
