My report's subject will be violence because in Turkey, lots of people especially women, suffer from honour killings. And the reason is ethical principles and wrongly formed traditions. Many people not only women but also men, suffer from these kind of morals without any reason. Someone kills innocent people, causelessly and recklessly just because of their point of views. The regions which govern by these morals and traditions, have strict rules. Therefore, if a person does not obey any of them, she or he must die or go to prison because of killing the family member or someone else. So, it is not fair. Many years ago, someone set up some rules and still many people obey these rules without questioning. They follow the rules and the traditions blindly.
Mostly in the eastern side of Turkey, people still obey their own tradition rules and govern their regions with these rules. Every region has its own rules but nearly the rules are same.
Let me give an example to clarify the honour killings. Think of a girl who loves a boy. But the challange is this boy comes from the enemy family. And the moral rules do not obey them to marry. And the girl should marry with her uncle's son because of the traditions. Or girl should marry with a boy who comes from the wealthy family in their region. And the girl's father and the boy's father can easily have a business relationship and getting rich. No one ask them if they want to marry with this person or not. There are 2 options for girl. She may accept to marry and give up her real love with this way she can be alive. Or she may run away from the house and go with her real love and if they get caught, they probably killed. If they do not get caught, they always live with fever because of the honour killings.
As a result of these reasons, I want to write violence especially honour killings because people die without any reason and most of them do not live their lives freely due to strict rules. If we always write, talk or debate that kind of issues, we may increase the awareness rate.
