Women in Turkey
When I first saw the light of the day, there were only two women
around me: my sister and my mother. After years, I realized that my sister
became a different woman from my mother as my sister was following technology,
fashion, and education. My mother was not able to use them as these things were
not literally available in Turkey in the 1980s when she was a teenager. It is
obvious to see that women in modern society are different than women in the 1980s
in Turkey in terms of their fashion concept, education level, and social
status.
First, we can see the difference between the two generations in the
fashion trend they follow. Women in the 1980s usually could not buy many clothes.
Even if they could, there were not so many choices, so they had to wear the
same clothes again and again. Furthermore, there were some condemnations about
women's dress style. However, things have significantly changed. Today, women
can buy lots of dresses and there are lots of choices. Moreover, people no
longer judge or criticize one's dress.
Second, we can see the difference between the two generations in
their education level. As Turkey is a new and developing country, Turkey did
not have so much to offer in the 1980s. Because of that, women in the 1980s
were not able to get educated in a high level. However, things have
dramatically changed. Today, 32% of women hold a university degree.
Furthermore, some women take some courses to improve their abilities.
Finally, we can see the
difference between the two generations in their social status. As women in the 1980s
were seen only as housewives or secretaries, they were thought to be less smart
than men. Therefore, the managerial position was not usually given to them.
They would not fight for it because they would get married early and give
birth. However, women are totally different today. They get educated or take
some courses. They no longer have to be secretaries or housewives. They are
more likely to delay marriage or giving birth since they want to continue their
career.
Women in the 1980s differ
from women in modern society in terms of their dressing, their academic level,
and their position in public. It is always good to see how things were in the
past in order to take a lesson from it. To me, women always deserve better
conditions as they have more responsibilities than men. To give them what they
deserve, we need to put ourselves in their shoes.
