Reflection Task 3

                                                              Person of the year


   I choose Julian Assange as the person of the year. I will give some information about him. He was born on July 3, 1971 in Townsville, Queensland, Australia. He is a publisher and journalist. We know him as an editor-in-chief and founder of Wikileaks which publishes secret information. He was a computer programmer before becoming known for his working with Wikileaks. He founded Wikileaks in 2006 but it was not known widely. After some time Wikileaks became well known because it gave information about US military and diplomatic documents thanks to Chelsea and Bradley Manning help. Because of these top secrets, which had been released by Julian Assange, Chelsea and Bradley were found guilty. The United States has also considered Wikileaks Supporters guilty. Julian believes radical democracy and he also believes that the state that ruled country with top secrets can be reformed by public. He says that there should be no secret if there is a state.


   I gave information about my person of the year. He created a big chaos and he deserved this award. I cannot say I agree with him or not but I can say that he made a good job thanks to his courageousness.
