Journal 4: METU Slogan

        

     METU has got a very popular slogan today. It is “I Brain Metu”. In my opinion, this is a really attractive and thought-provoking slogan. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, the slogan “I Brain Metu” makes us think about itself. The reason why I think so is that I think we use brain symbol for the activity of thinking. It is like the time when we use heart symbol in order to tell love. Secondly, it is something which makes us regard METU as a brain-improving center. Also, this is true. METU is a world in which we improve our brains. Therefore, every METU student can use this slogan so as to describe their state. Thirdly, this slogan is interesting. When people first hear this slogan, they start to think about it. They ask what it means. Everyone may get a different meaning from this slogan. Therefore, it covers a large variety of meanings.
     On the other hand, I may suggest you another slogan although I think “I Brain Metu” is a perfect slogan. It is “METU, everything you wish”. It may seem very assertive slogan. However, I do not think I exaggerate it because it really is. The first reason why I chose this slogan is that the facilities of METU. It has got a huge library, a lot of computer labs, lots of study places, banks, cafeterias, and other enjoyment areas. It is like a small city. Secondly, it is a beautiful place. It is a large forest and you can get fresh air all the time. Also, it has architecturally good buildings.
      In conclusion, although “I Brain Metu” is a striking slogan, I think it tells us only about the brain part it is lack of living part. Therefore, I prefer the slogan “METU, everyting you wish”.
