I think that culture is highly important for our identity of who we really are in this entire world. Tradition, on the other side, is a combination of rules, set up by our ancient ancestors, thousands of years ago. From the time we were born, parents tell us that we have to respect our traditions and never show disobedience to the culture which creates our personality. Of course, I undoubtedly agree with all these statements and I am not against them, although sometimes people may cross this very slender frontier of tradition which prevents us from self-destruction. However, does any culture have a function or at least a possibility of self-destruction? Firstly, in the place where I live, children should listen to the elders and people always have to help their relatives, and I never showed anything but respect to these statements, until I realized that it somehow may lead to a fall of a country as a whole. Because sometimes relationship takes the higher position rather than law, in my motherland, our political and traditional notions are distorted. Actually, this distortion called “corruption” in the rest of the world, but in my motherland, it is called “good relationship” between you, your friends and relatives. Unfortunately, this so-called “good relationship” notion enhances its power day by day and does not give any way for a middle class to breathe, for instance. This whole thing means that you will never be able to say any word against the followers of “good relationship” and grow as a person because these followers also put their kind of opinion to the top priority level. The distortion that I am talking about is as same as a falling domino: when someone above you spreads this notion, the others who under their influence will flashily catch it. Basically, that is another way of dying for country. Consequently, this created rotting notion obviously affects labors as a doctors, police officers and teachers as well. As a person who previously had faced with a conservative kind of teacher in a primary school, who was highly affected and that is why never saw any alternatives in any issue or solution except her own, I can easily say that it is just a miracle when students manage to save their own personality and inner point of view. Alas, for the majority of students, who have tremendous desire to make a breakthrough, for instance, the reality of conservative teacher may become a stock in a river, which will block their natural personality in future and, as a falling domino, may cause other different artificial alterations. Moreover, the objectivity is not found as the most convenient way of observing or evaluating neither for this kind of teachers nor for their future narrow-minded followers. Following that, when this “highly educated” crowd look at you, they never recognize you as a person, because there is no other right view of life except their own “general view”. When they look at me, for example, they will never guess that I am a debater or writer, they see just another unit of a gear of a huge machine, which depending on their opinion, should work only by one single elaborated system, the system which never makes any progress. Frankly speaking, there is definitely no other way to change this situation except bringing a freshly new ideology. Unfortunately, to do so, students have to study abroad at first, and just after they had gathered an international experience, it starts to be more realistic to alter this notion. I love my motherland and do not want to see how minority part of people makes negative effects on the place where I was born and grown. So, for me, there is no better way except bringing the knowledge to my motherland from outside and finally make an alteration by persuading the majority that 2+2 does not equal to 5.
