105: Cultural blog 2

[Shayna Webb]

Turkish is a language that puts a lot of emphasis on respect. In Turkish culture, one’s familial and social roles are extremely important, as that determines your interpersonal relations. Along with placing an emphasis on formality, Turkish talks about time monochronically. Meaning, time is viewed as tangible- something that can be wasted or saved. In the Turkish culture, it would be rude to show up late to a meeting or dinner, as time is something that can be wasted.
