Reflection Task 3

   If I were a member of a committe choosing a person of the year, I would choose Aamir Khan. I want to introduce him. He was born on 14 March 1965, in Mumbai, Maharashta, India. He is a film actor, producer, director and also a writer. He is a versatile person as you  see. He started to his career as a child actor in Nasir Hussain’s film Yaadan Ki Baaraat. His Professional career began with Holi in 1984. In 1996, Khan received his first Filmfare Award For Best Actor for his performance in Roja Hindustani. He also received variable awards in different fields. He has become more famous thanks to 3 Idiots and Ghajini which became the highest grossing film in 2008. There are several reasons why I would choose Aamir Khan, but two stand out. To begin with, he received many awards in different fields as I said before thanks to his achievements. In that, he is so successful actor. The second reason is that he gives  important social messages in his films. To illustrate, in Every Child Is Special, Khan states that teachers should behave every child equally. He gives social messages not only in this film but also in 3 Idiots. He shows us her personal opinion with these mesages.
   As you see, he is a successful, talented,and conscious person. What is more, he is a sensitive person who is closely interested in his own country’s issues.

    I think if you were me, you would choose him, because he deserves it.  

reflection task 3



If I were a member of a committee choosing a person of the year, I would choose Mark Zuckerberg who is one of the co-founders of social network website Facebook. First of all, I want to introduce him. He was born on May 14, 1984 in New York, United States. He finished Philips Exeter Academy and Ardsley High School, and then he studied Computer Science in Harvard University. However, he left Harvard due to indefinite reasons. During his university education his friends and he established many computer programmes and founded the Facebook which has been the most popular one. It is said that Mark had stolen the idea of The Facebook from Winklevoss twins, and he was sued at the court because of stealing the idea of Facebook. However, nothing can change that Mark has been the founder of Facebook since he just took the idea, and he added many functions to it. Moreover, twins had thought the Facebook was used only in Harvard University, but Mark provided Facebook to be used in different universities and in various continents.

What if Mark had stolen the idea, and he developed it by adding new features? There would be anything called Facebook.

Now Facebook has 1.2 billion active users in all over the world. People think that if Facebook is a country, it would be the most crowded country after China and India. In addition, Mark is among the youngest and richest men, and his net worth comes from his %28.1 equity stake in Facebook.

In conclusion, why I want Mark Zuckerberg to be a person of the year is that he is innovative, young and intelligent, and also he shows that education is not everything, and it is significant to have entrepreneurial spirit.
