Edison, and would be one of four to survive to
adulthood. Thomas Edison received little formal
education, and left school in 1859 to being working on
the railroad between Detroit and Port
Huron, Michigan, where his family then lived.
During the Civil War, Edison learned the
emerging technology of telegraphy, and traveled
around the country working as a telegrapher. He had
developed serious hearing problems, which were
variously attributed to scarlet fever, mastoiditis or a
blow to the head. With the development of auditory
signals for the telegraph, Edison was at a
disadvantage, and he began to work on inventing
devices that would help make things possible for him
despite his deafness (including a printer that would
convert the electrical signals to letters). In early 1869,
he quit telegraphy to pursue invention full time.
From 1870 to 1875, Edison worked out of
Newark, New Jersey, where he developed telegraph-
related products for both Western Union Telegraph
Company (then the industry leader) and its rivals.
Edison’s mother died in 1871, and that same year he
married 16-year-old Mary Stillwell. Despite his prolific
telegraph work, Edison encountered financial
difficulties by late 1875, but with the help of his father
was able to build a laboratory and machine shop in
Menlo Park, New Jersey, 12 miles south of Newark.

be less than 20% of the country’s population, and this
percentage is steadily rising. Indonesian tends to be
most used in the modern environment of major urban
areas. The local languages tend to dominate in rural
areas and small towns, and are most used in homes,
fields and markets.
Indonesian is the medium of instruction in
educational institutions at all levels throughout the
country. In the early years of the Republic, local
languages continued to be used in some places as the
medium of instruction in the first years of primary
school but this practice has now almost entirely
disappeared. In schools and universities most
textbooks are in Indonesian, but at the tertiary level,
especially in highly specialized courses and at the
advanced level of study, textbooks in English are also
widely used.
Although there are several newspapers in English
and Chinese, their circulation is relatively small and
Indonesian is by far the dominant language in the
country’s print media. Indonesia’s domestic Palapa
satellite system brings television to almost every
corner of the country. With the exception of some
newscasts in English and a small number of cultural
programs in regional languages, domestic programs
are entirely in Indonesian, and almost all programs of
foreign origin are dubbed into Indonesian or have
Indonesian-language subtitles. Similarly Indonesian
dominates in the very diverse and vibrant domain of
radio broadcasting, although there are a small number
of specialist programs in English and in some local
languages.

Kurds have been fighting for more rights and a certain amount
of autonomy in Turkey. In the last decades thousands of people
have been killed in fighting between the Turkish government
and the Kurdish rebel group PKK.
For a long time Turkey has banned Kurdish because government
officials are afraid that it would separate the country and make
the PKK too strong. In the latest statement Erdogan said that if
a school has enough students who want to take Kurdish as an
elective subject a school is allowed to offer lessons. The Turkish
government has found out that it cannot solve the Kurdish
problem through violence alone. Kurdish language and culture
is spreading increasingly in Turkey, Iraq and Syria.
For Kurdish activists the action does not go far enough. They
demand the right to educate students in Kurdish in all subjects.
The European Union has repeatedly put pressure on Turkey to
pass better laws for Kurdish citizens. It says that if Turkey wants
to become a full member of the EU minority rights must be
granted.
