A Critical Review of Humankind
Rutger Bregman’s book Humankind is one of the books that questions negative ideas about human nature and makes readers think. For many years, many people believed that humans are naturally selfish, bad, and only care about themselves. However, Bregman does not agree with this idea. According to him, human nature is not as dark as people think. Instead, people are more willing to help each other, understand others’ feelings, and do good things. In the book, the author supports these ideas with many examples from wars, psychology experiments, history, and biology. One of the best parts of the book is that it gives hope about humanity. Still, when I finished the book, I did not only feel admiration. On one side, I was happy to read it because it made me think differently. On the other side, some of the author’s ideas felt too optimistic to me. Because of this, the book was both interesting and questionable for me.
One of the strongest parts of the book is that it makes people question ideas about human nature that many accept without thinking. Today, we often see violence, murder, wars, and fights on television, social media, and in the news. After some time, people start to believe that the world is full of bad people. At this point, Bregman asks an important question: If humans were really bad by nature, how could societies survive for so many years? A big part of human history was shaped by helping each other, working together, and surviving together. From this side, the writer’s ideas are important and meaningful.
His ideas against the belief that humans are naturally wild are especially interesting. Today, when someone behaves badly, people sometimes say, “Did you grow up in a cave?” However, Bregman says that hunter-gatherer societies were not as violent as many
The Vegetarian
The Vegetarian
I have read a most staggering and profound book. I don't want to give spoilers, but I want to mention how this book affected my feelings and my thoughts about society. South Korean author Han Kang writes this book from three different perspectives. She criticizes the traditional and patriarchal society of South Korea.
At the beginning of the book, Yong-hye's husband tells us about his wife. He describes her as an ordinary woman with nothing special about her. One day, Yong-hye has a nightmare and decides never to eat meat again. This causes a major conflict within the family. Her father hits her, and for this reason, she attempts suicide. Later, her brother-in-law takes her to the hospital. Due to the Mongolian spot on Yong-hye’s back, he becomes obsessed with her and sleeps with her. His wife catches them; consequently, both of them are taken to psychiatric clinics.
Yong-hye consistently refuses to eat meat and begins to think of herself as a tree. Her sister feels sorry for her, yet on the other hand, she has been unhappy since her own marriage. Yong-hye believes that eating meat is related to violence. Society, her family, and her husband all want to take control of her life and body. Yong-hye maintains a silent resistance against South Korea's traditional and patriarchal society. At the same time, she wants to transform from an animal into a vegetal entity.
This book is about how people defy societal norms to find freedom. The Vegetarian is not just a book about diet; it is a story that depicts a person's desire to be one with nature.

Stoizm felsefesinin en mehsur numayendelerinden biri olan eyni zamanda filosof olan ve Roma imperatoru olan Mark Avreli 121-ci ildə doğulub, 180-ci ildə vəfat edib
Tarixdə “filosof imperator” kimi tanınır
O, həm dövlət idarə edib, həm də həyatın çətinlikləri içində özünü psixoloji olaraq gücləndirməyə çalışıb.
Kitabin tarixceside olduqca maraqlidir beleki ,bu kitab rahat kabinetdə yox,stress, savaş və ölüm təhlükəsi içində yazılıb.Avreli bu kitabi (Germen qebilelerine qarşi doyuşde xüsusilə Almaniya və Dunay sərhədlərindəki hərbi yürüşlərdə )çadırda, döyüş şəraitində yazib
Kitabin psixoloji ,felsefi movzusu ise olduqca zengin ve genişdir ve stoizm felsefesine esaslanir .
Marcus deyir:
Sən baş verənləri idarə edə bilməzsən
Amma reaksiyanı idarə edə bilərsənBu, stoik fəlsəfənin əsas prinsipidir.
Ağrı həyatın bir hissəsidir
Ondan qaçmaq yox, qəbul etmək lazımdır
Güclü insan sakit qalmağı bacaran insandır
Heyat fanidir
Ölüm təbiidir
Ondan qorxmaq lazım deyil
Əsas məsələ düzgün yaşamaqdır
Başqalarının davranışı səni idarə etməməlidir
Hər şey keçicidir
Sakit qalmaq gücdür
Düşüncəni dəyiş — həyatın dəyişər
Özünü idarə et — dünyanı yox
Keçmiş peşmançılıq, gələcək isə narahatlıq yaradır
Həqiqi sakitlik və daxili güc indiki anda olmaqla mümkündür
Duyğulara və düşüncələrə nəzarət etməyi öyrənmək insanı azad edir
İnsan beynindəki davamlı düşüncə axını stress və qorxu yaradır

It was literally awesome and back to me my childhood who had always dreams, sleeps, watch cartoons and the only problem is which toy she's going to play with. She always waited to going to stars one day, every night she watched the sky for a while and fell asleep. If somebody got hurt, she opened her little heart, it was always pink with unicorns,but for me it turns blue and sharks, then book called this such as"grown ups". When i was a kid i always into the space and books, but i can not read at all sooo the only thing that i love was looking the Page and drawings and dreaming it. Also i always watch the cartoon and sing its song with my french that i had never been before :) since then, now im turning a "grown up" as a teenage girl but i always keep this special warm book on the bottom of my heart and mind
