          <title>Is it really Technology Favors Tyranny?: Notes on Harari's (2018) Article</title>
          <link>https://hasdemir.me/blog/is_it_really_technology_favorsy_tyranny</link>
          <description>Harari warns that AI threatens democratic institutions by making large groups economically redundant and enabling pervasive surveillance that concentrates power. His examples are persuasive, but the exact causal pathway from technological change to a consolidated digital dictatorship is not fully developed. The essay's practical suggestions-regulating data ownership and investing in widespread reeducation-remain important starting points for mitigation.</description>

          <title>Ankara, Heart of Turkey: The Modernization Process</title>
          <link>https://hasdemir.me/blog/a-review-for-serdtsee-turki</link>
          <description>This documentary is a production that successfully reflects Turkey's modernization process, especially the transformations experienced in its first 10 years. When the film is analyzed in terms of Turkish-Russian relations, it shows that the USSR delegation established a connection with Turkey, approached it amicably, and wanted to document the country. It can be said that Turkey welcomed the USSR delegation participating in the 10th Anniversary celebrations more warmly compared to the delegations of other states. In the documentary, it is noteworthy that a Soviet flag was present on a Turkish vessel while the USSR delegation was being welcomed by small boats.</description>
