Abstract:

Turkish communities had lived under the belief system of Turkic mythology, known as Tengriism, in a significant part of their history. It is noteworthy that Turkic mythology elements, which have taken such a place in the cultural life of the Turks, are not sufficiently used as visual design tools. Considering the significance of preserving cultural heritage, Turkic mythology is rarely shown in animations, video games, or movies. The primary gods, goddesses, and supernatural creatures of Turkic mythology are not directly depicted, despite the existence of some animations relating to Turkic cult

Abstract:

So far, many different views and thoughts have been put forward regarding the concepts of Alevi and Alevism. The reason for the diversity here is based on the difference between the places where it is used over time. One of the main factors causing confusion is the claim that Alevism is a sect that broke away from Shia and continues to exist in Anatolia. Because everyone who feels a wholehearted devotion to Ali and is a supporter is given the name "Alevi". Therefore, the first use of Alevism as a dedication refers to a politically specific and large community. From this point of view, Shia and

Abstract:

Honor is an important concept that has a vital value in Turkey and affects many women’s lives and even causes death. It is of utmost importance to know and scientifically demonstrate the value judgments of the academics that lead and pioneer the society in our country where honor culture is adopted. Therefore, in Turkey, where thousands of women are exposed to violence every year, 877 academics participated in this descriptive study to determine the attitudes of academics toward violence against women in the name of honor.

Abstract:

This study aimed to adapt the Restorative Justice Ideology Scale (RJI Scale) for use in Turkish culture and examine teachers’ restorative justice beliefs about various variables. Restorative justice offers an approach focused on repair and social harmony in response to crime and disciplinary violations, providing an alternative to the traditional criminal justice system. In the context of education, it is essential because it provides a more inclusive and constructive model for school discipline policies. In the study, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was employed to assess the construct val

Abstract:

The main elements of Hungarian primitive religion are based on Eurasian shamanism. Similarities are found in the shamanistic folk cultures of the Mansis and the Hantis, the closest relatives in the Ugric language family, and the Samoyeds in northeast Siberia. However, after the acceptance of Christianity, Hungarian shamanism gradually declined under the Christianization policy of the Hungarian national ideology. During this period, as a social class system was consolidated in Hungary, folk beliefs were practiced among the serfs and peasants, who made up the majority of the population. Shamanis

Abstract Religious Culture and Ethics (RCE), a compulsory course in Turkish primary and secondary schools, is a highly debated issue with respect to education on religion. Discussions focus on whether the class is “religious education” with a confessional approach or “religious culture and ethics teaching” that adopts a non-confessional view. Following a short history of religious education courses in Turkish primary and secondary education, this study analyses the curriculum and the content of the RCE course from the perspective of two Islamic sects (madhhab) and religious education approache

The article deals with the semantic nature of the images of a wolf and a she-wolf in the shamanistic natural philosophy of the nomadic Turkic-speaking population of Central Asia. The focus here is an archetypal image of a wolf and a she-wolf as ancestors, defenders and guardians of the Turks’ cultural code – one of the most powerful, large-scale and sustainable Eurasia cultures, united by common linguistic roots and mentality. The majority of studies of the semantics of zoomorphic characters in Central Asian cultures focus on a wolf, while a she-wolf’s image at most is in the sidelines, althou

There are an average of seven thousand languages in the world, each of which is related to a language family. Although the alphabets of the words and the way they are written change in expressions, the ideas, feelings and thoughts that are wanted to be expressed can be expressed with the language they use. Every language has its own culture, values and rules. The vocabulary is the mirror of the language and the expressions u

The relationship between language and culture, as well as the role of cultural competence in communicative competence has come increasingly under the microscope and as a result, educators have gained a greater appreciation for the role culture plays in language acquisition. Intercultural communicative competence refers to the ability of an individual to navigate within a given society appropriately. In other wor

He then organised his new army on western lines and thus introduced an institution of western origin, the military band, as the musical unit of his modern army.

Apart from the cosmic, divine beings who have always been watched in the sky, there has been a tree after animals and humans, which has grown from seed.
