This year Thanksgiving is on November 23,2017. Every year my family Thanksgiving is the best, to me at least. So we always have Thanksgiving at my Grandmas and Grandpas, but not this year we are having it at my house. Which I mean could be good and bad. Good is it is at my house so it’s cool and bad, the house has to be completely spotless or my mom will freak out. Normally what we do every year is we get my family together and have dinner, mess around, and watch football. This year my dad's brother is coming with his three daughters and his wife and my grandpa and grandma. I really can’t wait to see them all because I don't really see them that much as I would like to. When we have a family dinner like this we always have a lot of food for everyone.

In the essays, “Turkeys in the Kitchen” by Dave Barry, and “Just Walk on By” by Brent Staples, they argue the theme of gender, and racial stereotypes that have been present in our world from the very beginning. Barry suggests through a sarcastic and humors tone that gender stereotypes have been present since before the start of time; he uses a highly conversational style to prove this, as well as narrates to give the reader a better understanding of exactly what he’s talking about. Staples, on the other hand, uses a more authoritative tone to support his theme of racial stereotyping; he also uses the mode of rhetoric exemplification to his benefit, and is able to show the audience that this issue is just as important as the gender

The independence of Turkey and its early development as a country full of energetic youth required a combination of two almost contradictory ideals : In order to illustrate its disassociation with the past Ottoman authority the new government desired international style which expresses scientific modernization and political liberation; However, the Kemalists also wanted to preserve a certain degree of cultural root in order to boost, if not, maintain nationalistic devotion of its citizens. Consequently, a new hybridization of theses two ideals emerged

The Ottoman Empire was actually known as “the sick man of Europe” because of its constant military and territorial losses, and the Young Turks felt it was their duty to save it. Some Young Turks wanted to keep the empire out of foreign control “through democracy… and modernization; [but] other Young Turks were intent on creating a more unified Turkish state with a Turkish national identity and a unified Turkish language and culture.” By 1908, the Young Turks had officially gained power over the Ottoman Empire. The formal name for the Young Turk’s political organization was the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP). The CUP had enough power to force the sultan to give the empire a constitutional government. After about a year, the sultan was removed from power and a younger and much weaker sultan was placed in power. Even though that sultan was weak, he still had supporters and people in high political offices; so, the Young Turks still overthrew him in a violent coup d’état in 1912. The Young Turks believed that that line of sultans had led to the downfall of the Ottoman Empire and they wanted to raise it back up. Once the Young Turks aka CUP was in power, everyone could see that their division in ideals was going to lead them into a place of turmoil. Some wanted democracy and others wanted a dictatorship. The group in favor of a dictatorship eventually won. This group lasted from about 1913-1918. The Young Turks believed in secularism, which means they wanted

Thanksgiving is a time for many things: food, family, and, with Black Friday sales starting earlier each year, shopping. It’s also a time for giving thanks, something most people forget about despite the presence of the word “thanks” in the name of the holiday. People have a tendency to forget about this part, though, because it’s easy to take the people and animals we love for granted. Sometimes, it’s hard to appreciate them at all, especially when you have a cat whose been labeled the “bad cat” like my family’s cat, Shadow.

The Ottoman Empire, one of the most valiant world powers of its time, received heavy influence from the spread of Islam through Europe and Asia Minor. Culture, military, and politics also held a stranglehold on the Ottoman Empire. Emerging as one of the many Turkish states in Asia Minor from the decline of the Seljuk Turk Empire, the Ottoman Turks began to engulf surrounding states, gaining vast territory. By the mid to late 1400’s, the Ottoman Empire was one of the most dominant empires in all of Europe.

It was Thanksgiving again, which meant that my family was making the long trek eastward to be around my siblings and their families back at the Old Home Place. We had gathered each of the past years since our father had passed away, but this was the first year that my mother, the last of that generation, was no longer around. My brothers and sister and I all lead very different lives, and were scattered about the country with our own families and jobs to keep us apart; this was one of the only times when we were all a big happy family again.

It is undoubted that holidays’ history is the point of entry to any living cultures. In specific, the United States’ national holiday in November – Thanksgiving – reflects the country’s culture of consumerism. The first documented Thanksgiving meal in America was between the Spanish settlers, and the Timucua tribe in La Florida in 1565 (Franklin 19). Interestingly, the main courses were “salt pork and garbanzo beans offered by the Spanish and alligator meat offered by the Native Americans” (Franklin 19). Nonetheless, most Americans associate the first Thanksgiving with the moment when the Pilgrims shared a three-day feast with the Wampanoag in 1621 (McCabe 52). Throughout the history, Americans have twisted the cornerstone of the Thanksgiving feast to create new traditions.

Moreover, there has also been an instance of arrests of entertainers for singing songs or performing in Kurdish.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is known as a very important idealist in Turkey, which had become an idol for Turks. One of the most important reasons he was that crucial for Turkey was that him being a nationalist founder and leader, and the first president of the Turkish Republic.

The real truth is that, Ataturk, still being at his young ages, started to think about making reforms for his country and society, and eventually had reached his goals making Turkey a 'free' and 'civilized' country, by also being the first president of Turkey. There are several policies and revolutions of Ataturk, which make him a really known, loved, and respected person worldwide, such as Republicanism,
