Economic Weakness in Turkey…

Turkey is a country which is rich in raw materials. Actually, there are many kinds of sources in Turkey. However, these resources are not used properly. So, this country is increasingly becoming very poor. Additionally, economic crises have also contributed to the worsening of the economy of Turkey. This worsening has several negative effects on education, health and social life.

Firstly, economic weakness affects education negatively. . There are public schools and special schools in Turkey. Because of the fact that this weakness results in unemployment, the ones who are poor do not have equal rights in education. So, the children of poor families do not get the same education as the children of rich ones. Another important effect is that students can not get effective education due to lack of tool and insufficient number of teachers. As a consequence of economic weakness, the government can not provide every tool that is necessary for education to every school. Insufficient number of teachers also contributes to this. Especially in the east of Turkey, this is a big problem because classes of different levels have to come together in one class.

Secondly, economic weakness has a negative effect on health. Because the government can not pay to enough doctors, the number of doctors in Turkey is not enough to meet the needs. Especially in eastern Turkey, there are few doctors in each village or town and these doctors can not satisfy all the patients. Another problem is that there are not enough medical tools in hospitals or medical centers. So, the problem or the illness of a patient can not be identified properly and so doctors can not provide the exact cure. All of these result in more deaths.

Thirdly, economic weakness plays a negative role on social life. First of all, this causes deformation in the structure of family. Due to employment, parents begin to quarrel and this affects child’s psychology too. Another thing is that corruption in the society begins to come out. Crimes begin to be more common as the economic state of families is worsening. People begin to meet their needs illegally.

As a consequence, economic weakness has lots of terrible effects on the society and the people. However, the most serious ones are education, health and social life.
