SOCIAL INTEGRATION PROBLEM OF TURKISH YOUTHS WHO LIVE IN GERMANY

Why did they immigrate to Germany?

“We asked for workers. We got people instead.” Max Fischer

Turkish people started to migrate to Germany as employees at the beginning of the 1960’s. At that time, because Germany needed employees they opened their country to Turkey after Italy, Spain, Portuguese and Greece. At first, main purpose of Turkish immigrants in Germany was work and save money and after that, turn to their hometown, but just a few of them turned back.

So, the Turk parents in Germany have mostly authoritarian parenting style. “Authoritarian parenting is an approach to child–parent interactions wherein the parent maintains large degrees of control over the child’s life and wherein parental interactions are based on a strict hierarchy of power.”3 Because they want to control over their children they place lots of bans. Non-communication and generation conflict are active between children and parents. All of prohibitions cause disconnection between children and parents. For this reason, girls try to get married in their early ages in order to get rid of their parents. Because these marriages are not about love, on the contrary about gaining freedom in social life, lots of Turkish girls are divorced quickly. Also economic troubles may be the reason about divorces. Since most of the Turks are labour and lower class, usually it is not possible to continue the marriage with very short …show more content…

Self-esteem: Confidence in one’s own worth or abilities; self-respect.5 Current generation feels they are citizens of the Germany. On the contrary of first generation they speak German better. They are more integrated to the German system. Their constructing of self-esteem has changed and risen according to first generation. Because they know their fathers, grandfathers had worked a lot of hours and under some conditions in Germany, they use these experiences in their working life. Thus, today generation build their self-esteem more aggressively. Because I do not experience to live in Germany, I made literature search about Turks in Germany. Besides, I talked with some people live in Germany for many years and asked them about their thoughts and experiences. According to me the most important issues are religion, family, education and self. Every youth generations are in a process of changing. Even though Turk's education level is still as not good as German youths, it is increasing generation by generation. Also their constructing self-esteem has changing because of experiences and education

    People who travel abroad seem to enjoy sending back reports on what people are like in various countries they visit. A variety of national stereotypes is part and parcel of popular knowledge. Italians are said to be "volatile," Germans "hard-working," the Dutch "clean," the Swiss "neat," the English "reserved," and so on. The habit of making generalizations about national groups is not a modern invention. Byzantine war manuals contain careful notes on the department of foreign populations, and Americans still recognize themselves in the brilliant national portrait drawn by Alexis de Tocqueville more than 100 years ago.

    Immigrants usually go through phases when it comes to migrating to a new country and this essay was an attempt to outline those phases with an emphasis on the negative effects of assimilation. Firstly, isolation. Nearly every immigrant finds themselves isolated at first, but this tends to go away as they become assimilated with the new culture. As this happens, they start to lose touch with their cultural identity and start to change in order to fit in with the new culture. Sometimes this is forced, other times the immigrant knowingly assimilates.

    Especially around Kottbusser Tor, I have witnessed these interactions and have thought to myself that even in a hub of bars and entertainment, there is explicit segregation. Being familiar with “othering” of Latino men in America, I found the generalized perceptions of Turkish and Arab men in Berlin to mimic those of Latino men. Because of the perceived threat of their masculinity, I believe that many people, especially women, have an inherent caution against this demographic. As I spent more time in the area, I found the seclusion of female, Turkish and Arab Muslims to be recurring as

Also, the parents found European American parenting style balanced their traditional cultural expectations and values with the demands of the new, majority

Furthermore, the need to live and flourish in a world full of hatred and discrimination empowers the unity and concord between individuals of various backgrounds. The value of nationality overcomes the importance of brotherhood, for it acts as the essence of one’s value in the society. Discrimination has been occurring frequently in the course of the last decade.
