Digital Age Privacy Author: Gouya Roshan

                                            Digital Age Privacy

In today’s world, with the widespread use of smartphones and social media, threats to data privacy are greater than ever before. People are increasingly becoming insensitive to the dignity and personality of others. Even in a small incident on the street, some individuals prefer to take out their phones and capture photos instead of offering help. These images can quickly spread online and sometimes permanently change a person’s life.

With the emergence of social media, our lifestyle has also transformed. Many people instantly share what they eat, what they wear, or what they experience at parties. Colorful tables, expensive clothes, and extravagant celebrations are displayed without considering their impact on others. This behavior can lead to painful comparisons, feelings of inadequacy, and psychological pressure. The line between “sharing” and “showing off” is becoming increasingly blurred, and crossing that line can be harmful.

In the past, people felt responsible even for the simplest matters. For example, if the smell of home-cooked food reached the neighbors, it was considered neglect or even a kind of fault. This perspective demonstrates how important it was to be attentive to others’ feelings and circumstances. People were careful to protect the dignity of others and to avoid hurting them.

Perhaps even worse is the tone of many comments made online. Some individuals are so harsh and judgmental that they seem to forget there is a real human being with real emotions behind every screen. Mocking, insulting, and humiliating have become commonplace. Yet a thoughtless comment can destroy self-confidence and lead to anxiety, depression, or social isolation.

In conclusion, the digital age tests our morality and humanity. Technology itself is neither good nor bad; its value depends entirely on how we use it. Privacy is a fundamental human right inseparably linked to a person’s reputation, identity, and peace of mind. By thinking a little more carefully before recording a video, sharing a photo, or writing a comment, we can make the virtual world a safer and more humane place. If morality, empathy, and respect grow alongside technological progress, the digital world will become a better place

The Man of a Thousand Faces of the Middle East

The Man of a Thousand Faces of the Middle East   Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) An Analysis of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Layered Power Politics in the Contemporary World In the complex and multilayered world of politics, there occasionally emerge figures who cannot be easily confined within conventional definitions, personalities who defy being described with a single word or defined by just one trait. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is undoubtedly one of these figures, a man of a thousand masks, roles, and tactics. He is not merely a politician, but also a master director on the stage of power; he sets the scene, reshapes the roles, and quietly shifts the pieces without seemingly offending anyone. To some, he is the voice of the people and a savior for the poor; to others, he is one of the most cunning political figures of our time. Erdoğan began his political career with a reformist image, close to the religious and populist segments of society. He revitalized the economy, smiled at the ...

An Enemy May Become a Cause of Good, If God Wills

An Enemy May Become a Cause of Good, If God Wills Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) is not merely a proverb, but a reflection of deep life experience and faith. It is a saying shaped by years of human struggle, patience, and understanding. This expression suggests that life is not governed by blind chance; rather, it unfolds according to wisdom and meaning, even when events appear negative at first glance. At first, people naturally define  evil  as anything that disrupts their peace: failure, loss, rejection, opposition, or unexpected obstacles. Yet with time, many of these painful moments reveal themselves as turning points. Without certain hardships, a person might remain on the wrong path, never discover inner strength, or fail to grow emotionally and spiritually. Therefore, this proverb is not truly about an “enemy,” but about  how we perceive difficulties . The most important part of the saying lies in the phrase  “if God wills.”  This emphasizes that go...

Trump’s Divisive Projects in the Middle East

Trump’s Divisive Projects in the Middle East . Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın )  The Turkey, Azerbaijan Border Solidarity: Trump’s Game and Its Victims . The Entire Middle East  In recent years, a project known as the “Turkey, Azerbaijan Border Solidarity” emerged under the shadow of Donald Trump’s policies and his allies in the White House. This initiative was not conceived as a response to the social and political realities of the region, but rather as part of the United States’ geopolitical rivalry with Russia, Iran, and China. Its stated goal was to forge a new alliance to curb the influence of these powers in the region; however, its hidden outcome was the promotion of instability and insecurity. Since 2018, with the escalation of sanctions against Iran and intensified military activity in the Caucasus, Washington increasingly demonstrated its support for Turkey and Azerbaijan. Trump, both openly and behind the scenes, cultivated these two countries as a new counterweig...
