Punishment is the action of punishing somebody because of the crime or a sin. According to mistakes, there are different types of punishment such as; capital punishment, prison punishment etc. Moreover, the punishment system of countries is different from each other. For example, while capital punishment is abolished in some countries, others apply this punishment for some criminals but in general; prison punishment system is the same everywhere. Nevertheless, some people think that prison punishment is removed but whatever their reasons are; prison punishment should be applied to prevent criminals from committing crimes.
Some may claim that prison punishment should not be applied because some difficulties wait for criminals while in prison and after the punishment. Firstly, according to their ideas, prisons are dangerous. Because there are many criminals who committed terrible crimes in prisons, they are not secure places. However, this does not occur. Since prison guards, who are responsible for all situations in prisons, provide security, there is no danger for criminals. Secondly, opponents think that criminals cannot find a job after the punishment. Since other people have no confidence to criminals, they cannot start to a new life. However, this is a specific example. In general, the government and some companies try to gain them and adapt to society by presenting some opportunities. For example, the government tries to make criminals have a job by giving some job-focused training programs. This shows that criminals can benefit from these facilities. Therefore, these are not reasons to the fact that prison punishment should not be applied.
Opponents of the idea that prison punishment should be applied think that prison punishment is not an effective way to prevent criminals. Firstly, according to their opinions, prison causes waste of time and it does not have benefits for criminals to improve themselves. However, this thought is not correct because in prisons, the government presents some education opportunities such as; parent education for woman imprisonments, sport activities. That is to say, they can improve themselves with the help of these facilities. Secondly, these people claim that if criminals understand their mistakes, they may regret so prison punishment discourage them and they lose their hopes. However, if they regret after committing a crime, they can benefit from remorse law. That is, one can benefit from remorse law to reduce the punishment. That’s why, prison punishment should be applied.
Prison punishment minimizes the rate of crime because of the some reasons. First reason is the fact that prison punishment is deterrent. Prison punishment has an important effect on criminals. They do not commit same crimes again because of the punishment they took before so prison punishment is a clear method to prevent criminals. Moreover, this situation becomes an example to other people who did not commit crime before, and provides reducing the rate of crime. Secondly, thanks to prison punishment, people understand importance of freedom. In prisons, criminals have to obey to some rules. For example, they have limited time to talk with their families or friends. In addition, they have less opportunity than outside. For instance, a woman cannot make beauty cares or go shopping. Namely, some laws restrict their freedom and they have to live according to these laws in prisons. That is why; prison punishment is an obstacle to commit crime for people.
To sum up to have a better society in which the crime rate is in minimum level and people can live peacefully, prison punishment should be applied.

DESTINY
For thousands of years, no idea or belief has been completely accepted by every people. Destiny issue is also one of them. Some people find it logical and then they accepted, but some others find it unlogical and then they became opponents of this issue. In order to decide whether destiny is a reality or not, we can look at the pros and cons of this issue.
Opponents of destiny belief critisize defining of destiny as something to which a person or thing is destined, so they don't believe in it. They think they have the capability of changing everything and don't want to believe in the existence of destiny in spite of their lacking in lots of things. The time when they can't change the direction of life, they think it is only an unlucky moment for them. The opponents also critisize “all the events are predetermined beforehand” according to destiny issue. They think that humans aren't created to live in the direction of their destiny and they have the idea that only choices make the life direct, not other influences.
The people who support the 'destiny' have a famous quote; "Life is but a stage on which we play our role.” So they know not only their capability to change direction of life sometimes but they also know that God gives shape to their life. In addition to this, according to them, destiny is partially predetermined by God and partially formed by human. And they believe God knows their destiny. However, they are aware of the fact that it doesn't mean people are uneffective about their own destiny because they believe God gives a chance named 'free will' to humans. Thanks to free will, they direct their life in the way God gave.
As you can see some people don't believe in destiny due to the willing of choosing own life. So the term of destiny doesn't sound them nice. On the other hand, many people find the term logical because they think that the existence of destiny doesn't mean no choice. If I am asked what my opinion about this subject, I surely say that I believe in destiny because it doesn't mean I am uneffective about my life and I can also change my life with the help of free-will given by God. I suppose this sentence "Life is but a stage on which we play our role.” summarizes the destiny issue perfectly.

One of the internet’s disadvantages is that it makes it easy to reach someone’s personal information. Nowadays people use some sites very much especially Facebook. And everyday we hear a new event about stealing of someone’s personal information in Facebook. And the worst one is that it is not the only site in which people can get someone’s personal information. There are a lot of sites like that. And internet threatens people’s life day by day.

For example they do not go to the cinema because they know that they will find the film which they watch on internet. This causes not only to become unsociable but also to become disrespectful to other people’s works. If we give another example, people do not read books because they find its summary through internet very easily. As this way is easier than reading the whole book, so people use internet instead of books.
To sum up, as we know, internet has some advantages, but its bad effects are much more than the good ones. However the worst one is that its effects are generally on people’s life and correcting the errors is very difficult.
