Goal
The goal I set for this project was to inspire others to learn about their cultures while I learn about mine. To be able to inform people about Turkey using my book, wether they enjoy history and geography, and therefore want to learn about different countries or, are actually from Turkey. This goal was challenging as I don’t spend much time writing or reading books. What I chose wasn’t my strongest point however, it allowed me to research a topic I really enjoyed. It helped me improve my writing skills and doing the research/ sharing my findings in my own words helped me understand better.

Global Context
The global context I chose for this project was personal and cultural expression; “an inquiry into the ways in which we discover and express ideas, feelings, nature, culture, beliefs and values” ("International Baccalaureate / MYP Global Contexts"). This applied to my product the most as my book aimed to explore and express different values, beliefs, etc. of a specific country. It was also important to take into consideration other cultures and write from an objective point of view maintaining respect for others.
