Despite economic growth in some areas, Turkey falls behind in political sphere and democracy. Development in economy does not
mean a progress in democratic thinking
and political areas that are significant factors for entire development.
Firstly,
in recent years Turkey has witnessed some setbacks in democracy. Many
journalists have been arrested,which is a hindrance to freethinking and thus being
a democratic society. Additionally, some branches of media and business have
come under the rules of government and people representing many others have got
deprived of freedom and some rights.
Secondly, the strict policy of government
has caused disruptions in governance. The party in power is of the opinion
that; people thinking in the same way with them are good,but others not. Being
antipathetic, such opinion might highly impede the public from participating in
any political issue. It can be also observed that due to policy of government
about other countries, Turkey is regarded as a warlike society.The president's approach to any war in any other country is not peaceful.
Thirdly,recent situation in our country is definitely an obstacle to democracy. A lot of people is striving for their rights,but there is no one to listen to them and their demands. They are explicitly ignored by the government and also shown as evil-minded.What a shame!
On the whole, as a well-known country, Turkey must
give importance to democratic thinking
and its policy as well as economy.

Dear Demet,
YanıtlaSilI liked your journal and your writing style. i really liked reading your journal. You have explained your ideas and the facts explicitly. You have done well gramatically, I didn't realize big mistakes. There are some punctuation mistakes but they are not very important. I hope you will do better job in the future. Continue on your way.
