The “Architectural Carrier” of social balance is the “Integrated Welfare Model” based on a social market economy.
The peace and progress of a country depends on the harmony of structural pillars that appear to be independent of each other, but are in fact interconnected by invisible ties. Economy, politics, social life and justice are like the four main pillars of a building. However, the task of mixing the mortar of this structure, strengthening its foundations and distributing the burden of each pillar equally belongs to the “balance of education”. In the case of Turkey, the overlapping of these five balances is a prerequisite for building not only an “order” but also a healthy social character.
Strategic Balance Areas
-Economic and Political Balance:
A system where the economy is not just about numbers, but is supported by a merit and production-oriented political will, creates an environment of trust. Transparency in politics is the greatest tool to eliminate the injustice in economic distribution.
-Justice and Social Life:
In a society where the rule of law is felt, the tension of social life is replaced by peace. Justice prevents polarization in the social fabric and ethical deviations arising from the “greed to win” by ensuring that the individual is sure of his/her future.
-Centrality of Education:
Education is the “software” of all these systems. If an education system instills not only technical knowledge but also ethical values, critical thinking and a sense of social responsibility, the economists, politicians and lawyers of that country will act with a “balanced” vision.
-From Balanced Individual to Balanced State:
A balanced country is only possible with individuals who maintain their mental and spiritual balance. In order for an individual to be balanced, he/she needs an “economy” where he/she can earn the fruits of his/her labor, a “justice system” where his/her rights are protected, a “politics” where his/her voice is heard and an “education” where he/she can realize himself/herself.
When these elements overlap rather than contradict each other, the “anxiety of uncertainty” in society disappears. Where there is no uncertainty, rationality begins. Turkey's development adventure can move to a new phase with the coordinated rehabilitation of these five pillars.
“Equilibrium is not just standing still, but the movement of each variable in harmony with the other.”
This is where progress comes from.
In conclusion, when we blend justice with the consciousness provided by education and economy with the honest and democratic ground provided by politics, Turkey will become an island of stability both in its region and on a global scale. This harmony is the only force that will improve not only the systems but also the people within those systems.
