Dear readers, in our previous article, we discussed the disciplines of the functioning of conscience. We stated that the most important driving force in the functioning of conscience, in the emergence and formation of conscience, is the will, and that the dynamics that activate and direct the will are all kinds of visual, auditory, tactile, sensory and other messages that come from the external world to the human perception.
We see that the existence of a creator, which has never been absent throughout human history, and the messages sent by this creator to people have an important place with their clear and understandable qualities. In fact, there are strong indications that the basis of phenomena such as people's collective knowledge, experience accumulation and universal values is also information of divine origin.
Here, this information and values, that is, the values that the human will encounters, whether they are religious or universal values, are transferred to the mind by the human will without any delay as it encounters these information and values. Together with the mind, the conscience cycle mechanism draws new paths in the imagination and imagination and determines the new behaviors it will follow in order to act in the actual stage.
This basic information and values, which are present in a large part of a person's mind and behavior, that is, these inputs that will guide a person, are largely effective in determining the person's external actions and behaviors after they first take place in the person's conscience, and therefore have a very important place in shaping the person's humanity.
Divine knowledge, virtues, and universal basic values that are guiding sources are sources given outside of man but in the world he lives in. Man also has the responsibility to reach these sources of knowledge and experience that can be beneficial to him, to turn to these sources with his will, to demand them, to comprehend them with his mind, to carry them to his inner world, to reflect them in his behavior after blending them there and in his conscience. Therefore, if a man wants to be a good and conscientious person, he should be able to be selective within the harmony of values that flow to him while turning to the external world with all his faculties, and to be able to put his will on the side of good in choosing between good and evil.
If a person remains in an atmosphere that is closed to the outside world, narrow, sterile, and even shaped by negative values and interactions, it means that he is under negative guidance. If a person is nourished by such an external environment or cannot be nourished in a positive sense, his conscience will also receive its share of these negative values that he will carry to his inner world, that is, negative, and he will emerge as a person whose thoughts are bad and whose actions are bad (immoral).
Within this systematic of relations explained, in order to see the human typology that emerged in our country more closely, it would be appropriate to look at the social environment relations of our people. In this context, since the last periods of the Ottoman Empire, the people and society of our country have not been able to escape the influence of political, religious and ethnic polarization. The tension in this social atmosphere continued to increase in the Republican period. It can be said that these tensions progressed in the main path of religious-traditional and modernity-secularism (opposition to religion) understanding and were socially and politically shaped by clustering with fractional differences around these ideologies.
