EDITORIAL Aygen İnan & Arda Ulaş Mutlu Dear Participants of the First Ever Regional Session of EYP Czech Republic, EYP has no limits. It has no limits in terms of people you have or will meet, or in terms of topics it cares about, as EYP deals with real life issues, as long as life has surprises and variety, EYP will as well. Thus, we believe EYP Media should focus not only on academic affairs, but also on a range of topics that concern our daily lives as it is a good practice of journalism and a great way to depict how deep EYP Media can reach in an ocean full of information. The Issue you’re holding in your hands or reading online now was created for one thing: to have our say on many issues. Ranging from very serious affairs to more daily ones, each article has the author’s own stance, and thoughts hidden behind the words. We know that, our thoughts may not re-shape the world, however we truly believe they will expand yours and entertain you. Remember, it takes great courage and talent to properly express you ideas, and The Pioneers have done an amazing job exactly doing so. We hope you enjoy our second issue, and wish you luck with your EYP Journey.

SOCIAL MEDIA MAKING OR BREAKING RELATIONSHIPS? by İlke Zeynep Uçarer “Scroll down, Like, share, scroll up, stalk, write a comment, put an emoji and then stalk some more…” With the rise in the popularity of the smartphones, the usage of social media our phones in general have started to affect our lives, relationships, friendships inevitably. We are getting used to benefit from the perks of recent technological developments and the comfort that comes with the anonymity of the social media. If we like someone, we like their photo; if we don’t like someone we rant about them on our social media accounts. Every move that we’ve been doing before to express our feelings or thoughts have been becoming more and more useless each day as it is

easier to hide behind a screen of a telephone rather than showing our true emotions in a proper way. And it has come to a point where forming friendships and relationships can be carried out by certain social media apps. Being active in social media too much brings certain outcomes alongside: such as knowing that everyone can have easy access to your life, worrying about that one person commenting your significant other’s photos and the need of being constantly connected

to the social media. It also effects our relationships in a way that we don’t even have to ask someone how their day went anymore, we can simply find it out without talking to them, sometimes by only looking at their Facebook page we can “learn” about them. At the other side of the coin, some thinks that social media makes them feel more connected to their friends or their significant other. It is true that social media shortens the distance between two people and true communication in spite of distances wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for technology and social media. It is true that sharing your memories and being aware of them being around you even when they are not with you presently might be a good feeling but isolating yourself from the real world by locking yourself in a screen of a device might be the thing to be careful about.

PUBLIC SPEAKING by Domča Wilhelmová Transmitting a speech in front of 200 unknown people. Might sound stressful right? In fact, 70 % of the population have speech anxiety. Most people experience at least some level of Glossophobia (fear of public speaking). Having a shaky voice ,rapid heartbeat ,sweating or not being unable to express at all - happened to all of us in at least once in our life. But there are many speakers that look relaxed and confident while on stage because they have simply learned how to handle their anxiety. First of all, prepare your speech early and thoroughly. A last minute speech will only increase your anxiety. Afterwards, practice. Practice ,practice ,practice. Be sure you know the main points and their organization to avoid losing your place. Know your topic well so you can answer questions that the audience may ask. That will definitely increase your confidence.

Avoid reading word-for- word from your notes. Instead make a list of the important points and try to memorize what you’re going to say. Try saying the speech in front of the mirror so you can control your facial expressions, gestures, body movements and how welcoming you appear. When you have gentle expressions and a calm demeanour when you speak, you will be more welcoming to your audience. Pay attention to the reaction of the audience and to interact with them. It will make you feel less isolated as a speaker. Don’t be scared of them wanting you to fail. The audience is usually quite supportive and may even feel bad for you stumble over a word. So before transmitting a speech, keep in mind those few important points. Preparation, practice, posture and physicality and interaction with the audience.

COFFEE TOUR AROUND THE WORLD by Daniel Binder Black, bitter, adrenalizing, refreshing and a mandatory tool for getting through exhausting days at work or university for many people including myself. Pure coffee has been around since the dawn of the modern age and became a vital part of many cultures all over the world soon afterwards. Yet, coffee among various haven’t much more in common than the coffee beans that they are made of! Italy: Like with any kind of food or drink, Italians are perfectionist when it comes to coffee. A regular shot of espresso brewed with an Italian espresso machine is the most common way to drink coffee. Nearly every establishment in Italy has such a machine and you can expect no less that the best brew in almost any restaurant or bar. It is also possible to top the ordinary espresso with hot milk, making it an espresso macchiato

Austria: Coffee became popular in Austria due to the Habsburg empire. During and after their residence, a lot of coffee houses were founded in Vienna. Therefore, Vienna is often associated with the term “Coffee house culture”. You can’t literally stand in front of a coffee house without looking at another one. The typical Austrian coffee is “wiener mélange”, coffee served with steamed milk and topped with milk froth. Turkey: Even though tea is usually favoured over coffee where Europe meets Asia, the bitter drink remains an essential part of its culture. True Turkish coffee is brewed by grounding coffee beans into a fine powder and adding cold water and sugar. The mixture is headed slowly until the typical foam id formed.

Ireland: Irish coffee is a success story on its own. Is was invented in the 1940s, making it by far the youngest kind in this text. Nevertheless, it became extremely popular and is now served in bars all around the globe. Irish coffee is an alcoholic drink consisting of hot coffee, whiskey, sugar and whipped cream.

WE ARE STRESSED OUT! by Eliška Rezková Don’t be afraid of being yourself and face stress because what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! It is the feeling of time passing faster than we would like, people being way more annoying than usually, our tasks being much more demanding than they were just a second ago and our heartbeats digging a hole in our chests when trying to escape from our bodies – stress. Firstly, let’s hear some scientific facts. Stress isn’t just a negative aspect of our daily lives. We can experience positive stress – the one which supports us, lets adrenalin kick into our veins when everything’s finally over and gives us the feeling of accomplishment. On the other hand, there is the more popular negative stress. That is the feeling of despair, slowly (or for some of us very quickly) transforming into absolute anxiety which often completely paralyses us.

Enough of complains about ‘’the good old days when our momma sang us to sleep...’’! We’re here and now and our era is pretty stressful. We should learn how to cope with stress or at least turn its negative form into the one dealing adrenalin and endorphins (hormones of joy) to our brain! Biology has analysed two ways of a living creature responding to stress; it is either the flight or the fight response. Basically, you either flee or face the challenge. Since we are young and innovative humans, I’ll stick to the latter response! Primarily, don’t panic. Okay, I know that is the essential problem we have but seriously, the good old inhale-exhale exercise works as well as talking to yourself (not necessarily out loud) while making light of the challenge you’re facing. I often try to get to the core of why I am actually feeling so stressed

“Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.” – Benjamin Franklin and after quite an analysis come to the conclusion that I am seeking a problem somewhere where it actually isn’t. For instance, my first GA speech (and yours too I bet). ‘’What am I going to say?’’ ‘’What if I’m awkward and the speech turns out ridiculous?’’ ‘’What if I stutter?’’ Guess what? It was exactly the moment of my first speech that made me a dedicated stress fighter (and adrenalin junkie at the same time). I approached the podium and thought: ‘’I don’t want this feeling to hold me back from presenting all of our work here.’’ And lastly, believe it or not, there is no such feeling of satisfaction when you hear your applause, descend from the podium and can rip the paper your speech was written on! Good luck.

PRINT MEDIA IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC by Valentina Dytrychová Media as a term is one of the most frequently used words nowadays. In 1440 when Johannes Guttenberg invented the letter press, the print media became the first wwaz to properly distribute and create mass media. But it took us 200 years to realize how we can properly use this invention by creating newspaper. After another 200 years in 1833 Benjamin H. Day starts to publish New York Sun newspaper as the first newspaper without subscription. Media became a great and powerful tool and it can be used either to control, change or create a message delivered to readers or to give truthful and non-censured version of it. In Czech Republic every kind of printed media is owned by Czech entrepreneurs. The biggest owners are Křetínský and Tkáč, then Diekmann, Bauer and on the fourth place is Andrej Babiš. The problem with private ownership is that the information we are getting is not completely truthful and they just adjust it however they want to. And when you realize that the general intervention of print media is 91%,

then you will see how easy it is to get to the people and to change their way of thinking. Most read magazine in Czech Republic is “Blesk” with almost one million readers per half a year. Blesk is exactly the type of magazines which won´t provide you with any knowledge and is filled with unproven information and gossips. And this magazine is read by most of the people in the Czech Republic. I think this perfectly shows which information are more relevant for Czech people. But it shouldn´t be that way, we should learn the real truth, non-censored, clear and simple. Unfortunately not many newspapers deliver news that way. And if any newspaper, blog or magazine are providing quality news, they are so small and not important that it is really hard to find them. That´s why we should mainly focus on what really matters and search for true and valid information and not just find the easier way around.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF HAWAIIAN PIZZA by Vanessa LaGrange Yes, this article is about pineapple on pizza. A delightful combination of silky smooth cheese, heavenly tomato sauce, ham and the juicy goodness of pineapple. If this description did not make you drool you are most probably one of the hawaiian pizza haters, in which case do not get discouraged and continue to read this brief history of a delicasy you consider being a crime. Despite its name Hawaiian pizza originates in Canada, where it was invented by Sam Panopoulos, a greek-canadian who emigrated to Canada in 1954. Later, in 1962 he opened a diner together with his brother and business partner Nick in Chatham, Ontario and called it the Satellite Restaurant. The diner still stands today, although it runs under different management now. As Panopoulos once said in a phone interview, „Pizza wasn’t known at all, actually. Even Toronto didn’t

know anything about pizza in those days. The only place you could have pizza was in Detroit.“ Sam himself didn’t know much about pizza’s history, but he enjoyed it during his visit to Italy and decided to try and make the tasty pie at home. Hawaii only became a state in 1959 and soldiers coming back home from World War II. brought stories of an island paradise. Tiki culture and all things tropical became insanely popular in post-war America, Canada wasn’t left out and canned pineapple became a staple of every household. During this time Panopoulos’s experimenting with pizza continued and because of the lack of toppings to choose from he decided to use pineapple and to his surprise it caught on. He called it „Hawaiian pizza“ from the start and it quickly turned into the version we know today. To the question if he still orders it today the 82 year old Panapoulos replied „Yeah, I do. I still like it.“

EYP CZ HAS REACHED A NEW LEVEL by Aneta Šeráková First Regional selection conference of EYP CZ. You heard it many times during the Opening Ceremony, and you surely will hear it more often as the session comes to the end. It is a great milestone for EYP CZ, but how did we get here? Meals in restaurants, tons of coffee for everyone, accommodation with wi-fi. Since this is the first experience with EYP for many of you, you might think it is normal. But it was not always like this. EYP CZ was established in 1998 and it took years of perfecting the organising process to get to the point where it is now. For example, did you know, that in 2012 there were only two small electric kettles to make coffee for the whole session? Or that the most common way of serving breakfasts was to simply buy about 300 bread rolls and deliver them to the committee rooms. And most importantly: that there were not always that many young people interested in discussing current affairs in their free time. Over the years, the number

of people willing to spend their time and effort not just on discussing, but also on improving our National Committee, coming with innovations and generally aiming higher increased and we were able to realize bigger plans. Like buying bigger kettles. But the most important outcome of this evolution is how many of you, delegates, were eager to apply for a session every year. A year ago, we were having a simple one-day preliminary round as the very first selection process. And now we have a whole session. And not just one, but two! Instead of giving chance to only 80 participants to attend a real session, we now have 160 students ready to share their thoughts. So, if this session feels “too small”, “too ordinary”, or like “just a beginning of your EYP journey” to you, believe me when I say that it is not. Even though it lasts only for three days, it is a huge step forward for an organisation that once did not even have a proper kettle. And you can be proud to be a part of it.

BODY LANGUAGE VS MIND by Barbaros Atay Say cheese! Please change your posture for two minutes before starting! Did you make yourself small or make your body seem upright? Maybe you looked around and imitated somebody else&#39;s posture. Here is the big question: Does our character shape our body language or does our body language shape who we are? And I’m sure that your answer is “our character of course!” Amy Cuddy shows us that is totally different from our believes. Therefore, when we think about nonverbal behaviour, or body language, it is called like nonverbal by social scientists, it is language, so we think about communication. When we think about communication, we think about interactions. “So what is your body language communicating to me? What&#39;s mine communicating to you?” says Cuddy. Our bodies appear to be powerful, they possess some universally expressive parts that express much more than we actually realise. The idea is that our bodies

are not only busy with expressing our minds, but that they can also sharply influence the mind in some sort of way. This is a two-way street. We make sweeping judgments and inferences from body language. Also, those judgements can predict really meaningful life outcomes like who we hire or promote, who we ask out on a date. Alex Todorov, researcher at Princeton University, has shown us that judgments of political candidates&#39; faces in just one second predict 70 percent of U.S. Senate and gubernatorial race outcomes. Also our body language is pretty similar to animal’s body language. When we won a race or succeeded, we make arms up in V. We do same thing like animals even we did not see it because it shows our power.Draw yourself up and put your hands on your waist! Staying in this position for two minutes makes you more powerful. Do it before your interview, for example, even when you need power because our bodies change our minds.
