READING JOURNAL - 5
YanıtlaSilFrom my point of view, loneliness is a common problem which affects people from all strata. The text includes this topic. Loneliness is fractionated three parts. One of them is temporary, so it might not be understood by people. I mean, it is transient as summer rain. On the other hand, some bad eventsmake people worse and it lasts almost one year. In my estimation, at this point the mission falls to the families. If families behave properly, lonely people can get over bad memories which they have came face to face. The case is more different for chronic lonely people. They are afraid of taking part in anything. The author summarised these things perfectly in the text. Also scientific researches like the ages of the loneliest people are included sufficiently. As a consequence, the author managed to keep me interested in the text because he focused on one of the most important points - lonelines.

YanıtlaSilActually, I think author tried to mention loneliness and it brought several problems.Also feeling loneliness's reasons, lastly differences between the being alone and being lonely.All I know loneliness is the most serious problem our civilization, everyone has talked about this topic, and most of people have mentioned their achievement.For all I care, I don't care about scientific reasons to loneliness.I think loneliness is inside of person additionally, there is no science arm explain about this subject.People are affected by a lot of things, and then their mood changes that way.Nowadays there are lots of things like (facebook or twitter) prevents feeling lonely, so people cannot feel lonely no longer.For these reasons I do not agree with author.In my estimation, nowadays loneliness is only for god.

YanıtlaSilISSUE: Loneliness:How Can We Overcome It?
Loneliness is the biggest emotinal problem for humanity.In our day,loneliness changed into material and mechanical loneliness.You can see so many people who have too many friends and very busy everytime.They can appear like having no problem or happy.Also,many of them are happy,and think that I have lots of friends,so I am not a lonely person,but they know nothing about loneliness because there is no relationship between being popular and lonelines.In my opinion,main loneliness starts with being far away to yourself.I belive that,deep down everbody has wonderful world to discover.Whensoever,we can overcome our loneliness by ourselves.This formula is same for everybody.I don't want to recognize same personality,and I want new worlds to discover,but it is not possible if we can't realize the person who live in our bodies.I was bored when I read the text because it is too ridiculous.In my opinion,loneliness can't see with eyes,and everybody lives their loneliness in their brains !!!

YanıtlaSilISSUE: Loneliness:How Can We Overcome It?
The biggest problem of 21. Century is loneliness. It keeps getting bigger and bigger. There is no exact solution, but there are some ways to cure. This text includes types of loneliness and how to deal with it. First type of loneliness is temporary. It is less dangerous than the others. Second type is situational loneliness. This kind of loneliness appears when you feel low. A divorce, a death, or moving can be a reason for loneliness. I think this loneliness is easy to understand and completely normal. Third type is chronic loneliness. The most dangerous one. It’s hard to overcome. It lasts months maybe years. According to scientist, main reason of this situation is changing place. When the people change his/her life area, s/he couldn’t get accustomed to live there easiliy. Especially young people –between the ages 18-25 – are the loneliest. Not only youngs, but also celebrities are feel so lonely. You can see it in Einstein words.He says “It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.” Money or being famous is not solution. In my point of view, the best way is taking time with family.

YanıtlaSilLoneliness is a topic that everybody has one or two things to say. Everyone knows something about it, but text has much more than a few words. For instance not everbody knows that there are three kinds of loneliness. First of all, the temporary one. This one is the kind which all people has experienced. I dont think that there’s a person who hasn’t. As you can understand from its name it’s a temporary condition. It doesn’t last for long and cause any danger so you don’t need to worry about this one much. The second one is a kind which appears only in a bad, sad or shocking situations. It’s understandable why people have it. I think there’s something wrong with a person who hasn’t this at this point. It’s how the normal people must feel. Fortunately, this kind last one year maximum and from some time people can continue their life. There’s this last one but absolutely not least, it’s the chronic loneliness. When I was reading text, I thought it was way too much boring till this part. At this part it made me interested because I saw something new, something I didn’t know before. I guess not only me, there are more people who heard this one for the first time. This kind is the most serious, most dangerous one. This is really health problem. Not only it’s a health problem, but also it causes more serious problems like heart diseases. From text I learned that there are researchs for cure and I hope they will be succesful.
