7 Problems Faced by Today's Readers


Reading books is not just about acquiring knowledge; it is a journey for dreaming, questioning the world, and understanding ourselves.

However, today's reader faces various challenges due to the influence of technology, busy lifestyles, and cultural transformations. These challenges shape not only the individual but also the social landscape of literature and thought. Here are seven problems frequently encountered by today's reader: 1. Distraction Social media and digital platforms shorten the reader's focus time. Reading a book has now become an act that requires patience and time management. This situation is not just an individual loss; it means a decrease in the capacity for deep thinking.Social media and digital platforms shorten the reader's focus time.

Reading a book has now become an act that requires patience and time management. This situation is not just an individual loss; it means a decrease in the capacity for deep thinking. 2. Excessive Consumption Culture Newly published books, popular lists and advertisements are constantly trying to direct the reader. The habit of reading, instead of a free exploration of “what should be read?” it's taking shape under pressure. 3. Superficiality and Summary Culture Abstracts, reviews and short contents direct the reader to short and fast information, not to the whole work. This leads to a weakening of the emotional and intellectual connection established with texts. 4.bstracts, reviews and short contents direct the reader to short and fast information, not to the whole work.

Although the increase of digital books seems to be the solution, experience and physical reading habits give a different dimension. 5.

Reading becomes an activity that needs to be planned, and spontaneous discoveries decrease. 7. The Decoupling Between Digital and Physical E-books and audiobooks make life easier, but the connection established with a physical book enriches the emotional and aesthetic dimension of the reading experience. Finding this balance is one of the most important challenges faced by the modern reader. Why are these issues important? Because reading is not merely an individual habit; it shapes society's cultural intelligence, thought production, and capacity for empathy. These challenges faced by today's readers are directly linked to the future of culturehy are these issues important?

SİLİVRİ SCANDAL FROM RUSHEN ÇAKIR!

 




NIRVANA IN COCKINESS BUT CLAIMING TO BE A DEFENDER OF RIGHTS, LAW, AND JUSTICESİLİVRİ SCANDAL FROM RUSHEN ÇAKIR! NIRVANA IN COCKINESS  CLAIMING TO BE A DEFENDER OF RIGHTS, LAW, AND JUSTICE


Attorney Baver Karakuş, SİLİVRİ SCANDAL FROM RUSHEN ÇAKIR!                                          NIRVANA IN COCKINESS  CLAIMING TO BE A DEFENDER OF RIGHTS, LAW, AND JUSTICE


Attorney Baver Karakuş shared on his social media account the incident that occurred between him and Ruşen Çakır, who took his car keys and refused to bring them back in Silivri:


The key to my Mercedes car was stolen from me at the Marmara Closed Penal Execution Institution, No. 9 (Silivri) Prison.  Read about how I got stranded in sub-zero temperatures for 3 hours, like a game where you have to figure it out. 


I was in Marmara Penitentiary Institution No. 9 High Security Prison on Wednesday. The officer on duty at the last X-Ray point said; “The car key is not allowed in." said. We usually put it on the X-ray as well. We're going insidewas in Marmara Penitentiary Institution No. 9 High Security Prison on Wednesday.

The officer on duty at the last X-Ray point said; “The car key is not allowed in." said. We usually put it on the X-ray as well. We're going inside.


My car key X-Ray put it on top of the device, I went to my appointments with my clients.

I went in at 1700 hours. I went to get my key. And I don't have the key. I don't have the key you know. I'm in shock.


Everywhere was searched. Every nook and cranny, top to bottom, left to right. And I never have the key. The shift is over. It's ice outside. My coat is in the car. Finally, please, thank you, beg, beg, the cameras were looked at.


This is clearly visible in the camera footage.

After I left, the person named Ruşen Çakır, accompanied by someone named İsmail Saymaz, took my key over the X-Rays is clearly visible in the camera footage.

My bag is in the car, my phones are in the caThis is clearly visible in the camera footage.

After I left, the person named Ruşen Çakır, accompanied by someone named İsmail Saymaz, took my key over the X-Ray machine and walked away.


My bag is in the car, my phones are in the car, my money, my cards, everything is in the car.  It's freezing cold in Silivri, my hands are literally freezing.  I have two small children (1 and 3 years old). 

Just at this moment, a group emerges with the voices of "my president, my deputy".  I said, "Oh my God, they're CHP supporters too."  They definitely know each other.  I called out. 

 "Excuse me, sir, would you mind looking this way?""Here you go," he said.


"There was a guy named Ruşen Çakır.  Do you know him? " I said. 


Why? I started explaining my situation, I guess he bought it without knowingThere was a guy named Ruşen Çakır.  Do you know him? " I said. 


Why? I started explaining my situation, I guess he bought it without knowing. He mixed it up with the key of his own car, I ask"There was a guy named Ruşen Çakır.  Do you know him? " I said. 


Why? I started explaining my situation, I guess he bought "There was a guy named Ruşen Çakır.  Do you know him? " I said. 


Why? I started explaining my situation, I guess he bought it without knowing. He mixed it up with the key of his own car, I asked if you would please call.


Then he called the deputy Rushen Cakir, who I found out was the CHP Izmir Deputy and his name was Mustafa Balbay.


Mustafa Balbay began to ask; 

“Do you have another foreign ID card, Ruşen?” he said. 


Ruşen Çakır replied very calmly, “Yes.” 


So why did you buy it? And why didn't you bring it back?


“I bought it on my way out, I thought it was İsmail Saymaz's.  When I got downstairs, I handed it to him and said, 'Take it.' Then when he said it wasn't mine, I continued“I bought it on my way out, I thought it was İsmail Saymaz's.  When I got downstairs, I handed it to him and said, 'Take it.' Then when he t it on my way out, I thought it was İsmail Saymaz's.  When I got downstairs, I handed it to him and said, 'Take it.' Then when he said it wasn't mine, I continued and  wought it on my way out, I thought it was İsmail Saymaz's.  When I got downstairs, I handed it to him and said, 'Take it.' Then when he said it wasn't mine, I continued and we left. ”


So the woman is here without a key, without money, without a coat, and it's freezing cold. How will this work? Balbay asked.


Çakır said, "Whatever. I'm in Maslak, if he wants it so bad, he can come and get it from here through the channel. " he said.


"Is that even possible? The cameras show you took it.  You should bring it back. "


I won't bring it back. He said he wouldn't bother and don't give me your number either.


In Silivri, left without my keys, money, or a card, and without my coat, I will go to Maslak, ask for my keys from there, then return to Silivri.  I will pick up my car from there and go home again.  Would you laugh or cry?t my keys, money, or a card, and without my coat, I will go to Maslak, ask for my keys from there, then return to Silivri.  I will pick up my car from there and go home again.  Would you laugh or cry?


Moreover, they don't give out their phone number either. They were going to give it to a taxi driver, and the taxi driver would find me.


However, these people who demand rights, justice and fairness every day on screens and in columns; despite a woman saying she had two small children at home in that cold weather, instead of saying even a single word of apology or treating her like a servant to cover up their disgrace, they act as if they are sultans.se people who demand rights, justice and fairness every day on screens and in columns; despite a woman saying she had tw that cold weatowever, these people who demand rights, justice and fairness every day on screens and in columns; despite a woman saying she had two sma
