"The most terrible occupation is the occupation of the mind"

Turkish labour union Memur-Sen President Ali Yalçın, "The most terrible occupation is the occupation of the mind," he said.

Turkey's Eğitim-Bir-Sen organized the 'Writers Meeting' on the occasion of the 15th year of the Journal of Education. 

Speaking in the program Memur-Sen President Ali Yalcin," the most terrible occupation is the occupation of minds. The way to eliminate the objection to exploitation and to build a lasting order based on consent is through invading the minds and destroying free thought. This is where magazines are important. Because the most effective response to cultural imperialism, the new order of exploitation, and the informational attack is the free thought produced by journals," he said.

Speaking in the program attended by many people from the education community Memur-Sen and Education-Bir-Sen Chairman Ali Yalcin, "the ideas we put forward, paradigm, philosophy to record, our members and our struggle to share with our nation We have made part. To this end, the magazine 'Education at a Glance', which has been published for 15 years, published 25,000 copies and is free of charge, has become both a historical and a witness to our struggle," he added.

"THIS AGE IS THE SUMMIT OF IGNORANCE"

"Cultural imperialism has affected more society than ever," Yalçın said and added, "Cultural imperialism, exploitation, wholesale from the tank, beyond the plane; by generating consent, transforming minds, changing mental codes. The cultural and informatical cacophony aims at different thinking and information systems, diluting the minds, confusing the truth with superstition. Indeed, the most powerful power is governing knowledge and thinking. The most terrible occupation is the occupation of the minds. The way to eliminate the objection to exploitation and to build a lasting order based on consent is through invading the minds and destroying free thought. That is why we say that this age of information age is the culmination of informal ignorance. This is where magazines are important. Because the most effective response to cultural imperialism, the new order of exploitation, and the informational attack is the free thought produced by journals."
