Urbanization in Turkey
When it comes to concerns about rural areas versus that of urban areas, there are most certainly pros and cons involved. Turkey is certainly a country that could and should be included in this debate. While many people tout the improvements and advancements seen when an area becomes urbanized and more developed, it is seen by many that there are tradeoffs. One such tradeoff is the effect on wages. In many instances, people see stagnation and suffering of wages as an area becomes more urban. In other words, as populations shift, gross domestic product grows and so forth, there is a dragging effect on wages that is seen as people make less money than they probably should given the advancements and changes that are otherwise occurring. Put another way, it is seen that the wages of people like those in Turkey do not advance proportionally with the economic growth and advancement in the area as it becomes more and more urban. While the ratio of wage growth and economic growth/urban development is not always going to be 1:1, it should be explored why the people in these newly urban (or more urban) areas are left reaping less advantage than perhaps...
As an area becomes more globalized and urbanized, there is a rather jarring effect seen to the culture and society of the area. Indeed, these revised and global networks serve to create a bit of chaos in an area that used to be more insulated and monolithic. It is to the extent that entirely new and different social groups emerge as a result of the culture shock that occurs. Turkey has seen this and then some since they started to shift very much starting in the 1980's. While some people have profited and done very well given this change, there are many others that have started to be cast into poverty, as the latter is becoming more and more obvious as the years go on. In short, there have been some winners when it comes urbanization, culture change and globalization. However, there are also clearly some major losers that are becoming victim to what is otherwise going on (Keyder). Two factors that are seen as explanatory of these disparate fortunes include the public/private…

Globalization The term "globalization" is a debatable one. Some view globalization as a process that is beneficial -- fundamental to future world economic development -- and also inevitable and irreversible (IMF, 2000). Others regard it with hostility, and sometimes fear, arguing that it increases inequality within and between nations, threatens employment and living standards and disturbs social progress. This paper offers an overview of some aspects of globalization and aims to
