WHY NVC-NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION?

First of all, if we look at the definition of NVC; It describes the state of self-compassion that comes from the heart. That is to say, we are all compassionate by our nature, but there may be some behaviors that are taught or supported by the society we live in and the relevant culture. People who can apply the NVC have been able to establish a more authentic, more understanding, and deepening connection in their communication and resolve conflicts. that is, to observe without judging, labeling, evaluating. The aim of observation is to find a common factual point. Other steps are emotions, needs and demands. Our feelings are signs leading to needs. Needs are the step for the person to realize. Supply and demand are used to find a way to meet the needs of both parties. In addition, NVC plays an important role in conflicts, customer relations, daily life or meetings. There are several ways to do this. We are in a mutual conflict; First of all, we must clearly define our own needs and present this clearly to the other party. Then we should focus on the needs, away from analysis and judgment. It is also necessary to make sure that mutual needs are understood. It is important to have mutual empathy for understanding the feelings. Finally, it is important to find a way to meet the needs of both parties and to develop strategies. If you are in the role of mediator of a place of mutual conflict, you should consider these starting steps separately for both people. I mean, connecting is the most essential and essential thing. When these cannot be achieved, when mutual common goals are not pursued, conflicts will recur when a framework of respect is not established. And it can lead to worse consequences. So NVC is an effective and practical way.

ON THE CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Corporate social responsibility shows the extent to which the enterprise handles social concerns. It can be defined as acting “ethically” and “responsibly” towards all stakeholders in both internal and external environment, taking and implementing decisions in this direction. Corporate social responsibility is generally understood to be in production by taking measures to protect nature and the environment in line with the sustainable growth target of an enterprise. Yet it is not just about that. The business has responsibilities towards the environment and society, in addition, it has a responsibility to all stakeholders that it has a relationship with and may be seriously affected by business decisions and activities. customers, creditors, managers, employees and suppliers. When these responsibilities are fulfilled, your image is positively affected. It also has a good effect on your assets, profit, income, sales. This is vital for the business. The brand values ​​and therefore market values ​​of the companies are increasing. Today, consumers prefer a product not only with its quality and financial value, but also by evaluating it together with the social responsibility activities of the businesses that produce this product. Samsung has been one of the best examples of this. On February 20, in collaboration with the Korea International Volunteer Organization (KVO), Samsung Electronics brought solar-powered LED flashlights to 1,000 homes in a remote village in Oroma, Ethiopia. It helped them to sustain their livelihoods, save money and work harder. Samsung's involvement in such social responsibility projects is effective and distinctive. As a customer, hearing and seeing this increased my confidence in Samsung. It made me a loyal customer. It changed my perspective on brands that are not socially responsible. As a consumer, participation in social responsibility campaigns has become a criterion for the brands I have purchased.

TO BE A PART OF COMMUNITY SERVICES - TO BE VOLUNTEERING

Of course, you have used your own skills, the situations that your own self guided, while being a partner in the solution of a problem before. If not, we are indirect partners. So, I'm talking about being part of the solution to the problem. Even that makes us feel good. This situation happened voluntarily. It has been without money or without any additional expense. It would be even more invaluable to address a large community in this way. Some of us believe that it cannot help with the volunteering issue. Or he looks to see if he has a contribution to himself, or thinks that it may incur additional expense or additional time. He can magnify it with many excuses. However, when you volunteer, events proceed with mutual interaction and interactivity. You unwittingly make yourself visible, or you reveal your own strength by using the skills you have for the benefit and solution of society. In other words, you can get the chance to develop your own communication techniques. You will gain leadership skills. In other words, you can develop skills such as critical thinking, complex problem solving, which will improve you more in your own professional life, and you will make more innovations and contributions to yourself. You find a new environment, a new friend and a chance to touch a new life. Maybe he will find the opportunity to question many of your thoughts and look through a new window. These are investments that you unconsciously make in yourself while helping others or while gaining awareness or inspiring. On the other hand, being a part of something actually earns everyone in the whole. So, you can meet a common passion and make a difference. It would not be wrong to talk about Kamilla Sultanova, who has developed herself with many gains and touched many lives in this volunteering issue. She is an entrepreneur, education enthusiast and tedx speaker. She was also an immigrant woman who left her homeland and came to study in another country. He witnessed many difficulties in the country where he lived. Volunteering enabled her to serve society in order to gain her present self.. Kamilla believes that we can create opportunities and build societies without fear or hesitation. And it is deemed to have succeeded. He reached 3000 students with the activities he gave speeches on the courage to dream, dignity and self-compassion in the projects he conducted voluntarily. She is a woman who inspires people to dare to live their lives. The words in her speech inspired me too. “Life is a one-off project. Get out and volunteer. When you volunteer, you become part of something and everyone wins. ” It gives hints that we can trust ourselves and others. Volunteering will make a difference when well organized. We are all different, we all have many skills and meeting to serve one common good will make us all strong.

ARE WE REALLY WORLD CITIZENS?

We live in the same world as all societies. And we have many security rights in this world.The security we have as human beings; economic, political, food, health and environmental safety are some of them. People should live as befits human dignity. But throughout history, there are still communities that are still deprived of them today. We are aware of these, but we are not there and we do not constantly see them. This does not mean that they are not there or live. The house you were born in, the place where you were born, the family you were born in should not determine your dreams of your future. We are all citizens of the world. And this world belongs to all of us. Won't the problem somewhere affect us? The world is all of us, and wherever we see it being put in danger, we must intervene. So, it's not just a situation that will affect one community, one race. | In the words of Hugh Evans we are a person of the human race before belonging to a race, a country, a piece of land. And those who struggle with the difficulties of our world are citizens of the world. Citizenship means being in action. The future of the world depends on the citizens of the world. Many problems would be solved if there were more active world citizens in the world. This is how we can say these things and agree with these thoughts. But we don't know how to do it. Or we don't know where to start.

Hugh Evans' speech inspired me a lot. He made us believe that a small movement could change the whole world for us. Because it is necessary to start somewhere. It is a huge move that Davinia collected only $ 0.01 in a year and helped the education of 120 young girls. Or the fact that a small campaign initiated by Hugh Evans and his friends resonated in the world and mobilized some countries for investment. Again, it was enough if we were to act on the global cause instead of buying tickets through a festival. . World problems can be solved with global solutions.

The tools to change the world are ahead of us, technology has advanced and access to information is faster and easier. Activism is to be active. Here are 3 steps that the world citizen will take be aware, participate and take action. Moreover, this movement does not have to be physical. It is enough to confirm and share. Everything that happens in the world we live in certainly affects and will affect us as well. World problems can be solved with global solutions. The citizen of the world is the one who adopts every good thing we have in common and asks the question of why and acts together. After Hugh Evans’s presentation, he makes myselves ask the following question; Am I really a citizen of the world?

ON YOUTH ACTIVISM

As the youth of the 21st century, we can access news about political, political and social issues faster than before. Before, it was necessary to watch news or read a book. But now the technology of today's world is developing rapidly. News is spreading from every platform online. In this globalizing world, we can reach many news on every subject in every language. We notice the developments and problems in our world and the country we live in. As young people, we can reach the information faster than adults. Unfortunately, most of us are not aware of our strength in these matters. As a system, we are not authorized or expert in a subject for adults. However, even if we are young, we have the right to take part in every platform of society as citizens. We can be involved in decisions that affect our lives by speaking out. We can contribute ideas that focus on a common good. So we don't need to be experts, even attracting people's attention is the beginning. We have the power and power to influence decisions, whether little or not. We are able to access technology and online platforms faster and share faster than adults. So we can spread our views on an issue to people and raise awareness. One example of this has happened very recently. The Climate Strike movement, which started in 2018, had a great impact in the world. Swedish young activist Greta Thunberg started protests by announcing that the fight against climate change should begin. She appeared in the media with the school strike for the climate. He did not go to school and started to strike in front of the Swedish parliament. The protest received support from the media. It spread around the world thanks to the media. Thus, 1.4 million students from an estimated 112 countries of the world respon to strikes and protests. This situation inspired the students. The students thought that taking action on climate change was the same as giving young people their whole future back. In other words, they made their voices heard about the decisions that will affect their lives. Today, the use of digital media has rapidly affected youth participation in activism globally. Thanks to Facebook, Twitter and youtube applications, young people got organized and gathered faster. Hashtags are opened on many issues such as violence against women, discrimination on racism and spread to millions. Another issue ; As youth, we can participate in activism by using our strength in the consumer direction. We have a large population in society as young people. We have the advantage of being able to organize faster and have greater impact than adults. For example; According to the information given by Sam Stevens, one of the young activists; young people spend $ 239 billion a year on consumer products. So we have a great influence on companies. If we stop buying a company's products, we can have a quick impact. Thus, we participate in youth activism. Youth activism keeps kids up for what they believe in. Thus, it offers you the chance to reject something you don't want to do.

The youth activist is transforming political participation through technology. What I mean is that creating a participatory form of citizenship unique to today's young people. Citizenship participation is essential for the advancement of a strong society and for deepening democratic governance. At the same time, shouldn't inclusive societies create opportunities for the development of children and young people?
