Why did the European community rename to the European union?
Since it was founded in 1957, the organisation has had several names. Before the European Union, it had been known as the European Community. It started mainly to work for economic ties, but as its aims have changed and extended into a broader range of issues, the name has been changed to fit that. It is now far from being just purely about economic issues, so the name European Economic Community would not really fit. Many organisations change their names as they develop. That is how the EEC went to being the EC and now EU.

How many stars does the European flag have?
There are currently (as of August 2016) 50 stars on the American flag and thirteen stripes for the thirteen colonies.
Note: At one time they added stripes along with the stars - the Star Spangled Banner that flew over Fort McHenry had 15 stripes. The 15-star, 15-stripe flag was authorized by the Flag Act of January 13, 1794, adding 2 stripes and 2 Stars. The regulation went into effect on May 1, 1795. This flag was the only U.S. Flag to have more than 13 stripes. Realizing that the addition of a new star and new stripe for each new State was impractical, Congress passed the Flag Act of 1818 which returned the flag design to 13 stripes and specified 20 stars for the 20 states. All US flags since then have stuck to the rule of 13-stripes and 1 star for each state.

What are arguments for and against Turkey being accepted into the European Union?
Answer 1
Turkey, A European Country? First of all, because most of its territory is not located in Europe but in Asia Second, although the gross national income may be considerable due to a big population, the development level or individual income does not match the average of EU countries.
Answer 2
FOR
- The EU already trades extensively with Turkey.
- In the last 15-20 years the EU has hinted to Turkey that if the country can 'clean up' its human rights it would be admitted. There's room for debate as to whether any promise was made.
- Turkey is a crucial ally when it comes to the Middle East as a transitional country between the "east" and the "west". If Europe leaves Turkey alone, USA will have a very strong ally (stronger than the present alliance) in the Middle East, right at the EU border. This is a big problem if EU has future plans of greater direct political influence in the area.
- Turkey has been coming back and forth between different political ideas and institutions, varying from demands for a religious state to that of a militarist state, a communist state and a liberal state. What EU has to offer can fully convert Turkey into the European democracy that she aims to be in theory. Otherwise, EU will have a highly unstable country right at its border, having a very large army with a political opinion.
AGAINST
- Except for a small section, the country isn't in Europe geographically.
- Culturally, the country isn't in Europe, either.
- Poor record on human rights.
- The Turkish state is based on a whole series of falsehoods, including denial of the Armenian Holocaust and the existence of Kurds in Turkey.
- Turkey has a large population, enough to have a significant say in EU politics given she is admitted. Such an impact might jeopardize the union if not developed with the necessary concern for the concept of EU but as an extension of national politics since Turkey has a strong nationalist root in its foundings.
- The unemployment in Turkey, combined with the young population, might, in addition to mass immigration, also borne a less expected problem for the EU: invasion of Turkish workforce. European jobs are better paying, more comfortable and advantageous than the jobs in Turkey in general. In Turkey, it is possible to see an MA graduate work in the service industry simply because he/she could not find anywhere to take advantage of the diplomas he/she had; who would suddenly flood Europe with qualified staff and academics, creating a hard to estimate ripple effect in the industries and academia.
