Can Turks be trusted with thier own future?

Turks can make decisions for their future not completely but partly, because democracy has occurred in Turkey with not evolution but with revolution. In other words, Turks fell in many difficulties with the sudden change of system of government in the past. In other countries in which democracy occurred with evolution, people who live there gradually got used to live democratically. Our country efficaciously adopts democracy, but indeed people like being managed. Turks are people who lived in a country in which absolute monarchy existed and so in Turkey, there are still many people who sympathize to that patriarchal government system. In contrast, in the USA, democracy also occurred with revolution; but their customs and traditions differ from ours. This difference helped USA to develop and adopt democracy in a shorter time. In Kinzer’s text, he states that “In Turkey it is not hard to find thoughtful, worldly people who believe their country is not ready for full democracy”. Turkey is said to be a democratic country; but it is not for full. For example, getting in the university wearing headscarf is forbidden for girls; but a boy who shares the same ideas with that girl can get in that university. In this case, the girl has to make a decision between getting education or wearing headscarf and this is not democratic. Meanwhile, I do not defend that wearing headscarf in university is right; it is a different issue. Consequently, Turks need more time to have a full democratic system; because I believe that they will get used to living in a democratic country with the course of time and if secularism and culture of democracy exist accurately, then Turks can be trusted for their future.
