CULTURAL REFLECTIONS OF VALUE CHANGES IN TURKEY
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
The process of globalization thrust world societies into inevitable cultural erosion and led to a value change. It is well known that this change and transformation have accelerated the change of values in advanced industrial countries. Ronald Inglehart defined this movement in Western societies as a transition from materialist towards postmaterialist values. With regard to the political culture, Inglehart identified that along with empirical research a global change that shifts needs for self-actualization and self-development to the fore. In contrast, material needs (e.g. security, existence) are pushed into the background as these needs have already been satisfied along with economic growth and existential security. In this context, the 2012 World Value Survey gives significant information about cultural reflections on the cultural memory of the Turkish society; people’s beliefs and attitudes, their opinions on democracy and politics in Turkey, and, last but not least, the data shows the social differentiation in Turkey. The aim of this study is to examine the remarkable changes which values have undergone in Turkey and their influence on cultural life in recent years.
