In family portrait everyone has a duty.Children studies,mother and father works. However,as every group of people in world ,family needs a leader. Leader have to be powerful and authoritical. In Turkey generally fathers are the leader of home. They have power because of traditions. Fathers make the last decision. Mothers are the second authority at home. Generally they cook and clean home and chat with friends.As my family that is like that my mother doesn’t work in a job but ofcourse Turkish families have mother who works. About the decisions that my father give at our home are mostly fine for me but some of the decisions really makes me nervous or angry. In Turkish society daughters are more close with their fathers considering to relation between mother and daughter. On the other hand son’s relation between mother is more close than the relation between father and son. So,fathers jealous of daughters and mothers jealous ofsons. However that is the situation, same gender relations really have another type of closeness.

    Actually this closeness between the opposite genders in the family that you identify as existing in Turkey is supposedly universal- it was something Freud wrote about!
