However, in recent decades, there has been a gradual shift towards more individualistic values, especially among the urban, educated, and younger segments of the population.

2. Some key points about individualism in Turkey:   - Historically, the Turkish culture has emphasized the importance of family, community, and loyalty to the nation. Individual rights and self-expression were not as strongly emphasized.   - However, as Turkey has undergone rapid economic development, urbanization, and exposure to Western ideas, there has been a rise in individualistic attitudes, particularly among the middle class and urban youth.   - Concepts like personal achievement, self-reliance, and the right to individual expression have gained more prominence, especially in large cities like Istanbul.   - At the same time, the more traditional collectivist values still remain strong, especially in rural and conservative parts of the country. There is often a tension between individual and collective interests.

3. - The Turkish government has also promoted a "national individualism" that emphasizes devotion to the Turkish state and nation, rather than pure individualism.   - Overall, Turkey is undergoing a gradual cultural shift, with individualistic tendencies coexisting alongside persistent collectivist values.
