Besides the difference in stress, the values of Turkish people differ from Americans. The mosque is the only one in the world with six minarets. Minarets, which are tall towers, are used for prayer. People in Turkey realize that having good friends is really important. Most people would sacrifice their friends, values, almost everything just to get a good job or a prestigious place in society.
Religion is respected within the Turkish territory.
That respect often leads to segregation. You have 50 percent of the people who dress regularly, and then you have 25 percent of the people who cover their heads. You are not even allowed to attend college just because you cover your head. Routsong said that in the United States, ethnic and racial backgrounds divide people - not religion. According to Routsong, Turkey's culture is very diverse.
