Turks are not Arabs or Mongols.

In my previous posts, I have written about Turkey and its history. The following is a 6 minutes video I would like to share with you. It will help to know the Turks better.

Turks are often mistaken for Middle Eastern and Arab; these two groups have nothing in common but  Islam. Otherwise, they couldn't be more different. The Turks ethnically range from Caucasian to Asian to Black. Yes, there are black Turks.
One thing you will not learn in your classroom is the 6 Turkic Empire spending over 2000 years.

This video is just a quick answer to the question, "Who are the Turks" it is now up to you to find out more.

This was a most informative video. The geo-political global landscape has changed dramatically and there are too few who understand the history and what lead to these changes. With even more global changes on the horizon, it is important that we stay informed. This video was enormously helpful in that regard.

Propaganda versus News on Social Media

  Propaganda versus News on Social Media. Introduction Social media has become a ubiquitous part of our lives, connecting us with people, information, and entertainment. However, social media also poses challenges and risks, especially regarding the quality and credibility of the information we consume and share. How can we tell the difference between news and propaganda on social media? What are the impacts of social media on our society, politics, economy, and mental health?  I will explore these questions and suggest ways to improve our media literacy and critical thinking skills. What are the differences between News and Propaganda? News and propaganda are both forms of communication that aim to inform, persuade, or influence the audience. However, they differ in their purpose, methods, and ethical standards.

2012 Mayan Calendar 'Doomsday' Date Might Be Wrong

 This article should get some of us more rational regarding the big hype about 2012, Planet X, and Doomsday... being reasonable is the hardest thing to do when overcome with extreme feelings of fear, despair, or even rapture. So open your mind to the idea that it could all be a spook, and we will all laugh about it on December 22, 2012. Otherwise, would you want to be the one to clean up the mess that Doomsday will leave behind? Would you want to survive Doomsday? Leave your comment: The Mayans Never Predicted the Doomsday Before continuing, it's worth emphasizing that this mesoamerican calendar (used by several cultures -- including the Maya -- in Central and South America before European colonization) does not predict an apocalypse.
