“…All in all, the fear of terrorism, economic instability and growing concerns over the inability to form a coalition government generated a fearful society. In such stressful times, people exhibit unexpected behaviors and attitudes (Kayaalp, 2016;Yigit, 2018). They tend to search for more political information; they are eager to learn about social issues and political participation increases; they will engage in social protests less; and they are more likely to look for a charismatic leader and be committed to his vision (Erişen, 2016).…”

Turkey has been ruled by a secular and democratic government since 1923 under the name of ‘the Republic of Turkey’. In this rarely examined culture, we tested the effects of political trust(PT), social values(SV), system justification(SJ) and social dominance orientation(SDO) on university students’ intention of voting before the June 2015 election. Depending on the theory of planned behavior and the cognitive hierarchy model of human behavior, it is conceptualized that SV, SJ and SDO are placed higher in cognitive structure than PT, therefore PT would mediate the relations between those cognitions and the intention of voting. About 300 university students completed the following questionnaires: PVQ-R, Political Trust, Social Dominance Orientation, and System Justification Scales, in addition to intention of voting, and demographics. Results show that conservation and social dominance orientation was positively related to the intention of voting for MHP and openness to change and system justification was positively related to intention of voting for AKP. When we tested the role of mediation for PT; we have found extensive evidence that, the relationships between SV (i.e. openness to change), SJ, and SDO and intention of voting for AKP and MHP were significantly mediated by PT. Ideological differences between and within left and right wing parties in Turkey were discussed to explain the results.

“…The value of people must be instilled in children at an early age in educational institutions. Individual and social harmony can be achieved by raising awareness of the importance of human beings in the face of social and individual developments among those who have progressed from primary education to secondary education and then to higher education (Yigit, 2018). Indeed, it would not be incorrect to claim that human nature has good and bad qualities from birth that are later channeled for better or worse by the world where the person lives and the education he/she receives.…”

Using a social studies course with an interdisciplinary approach and organizing the program in conjunction with this circumstance means that the social studies curriculum can find its place in the real world because interdisciplinary nature enhances its value. The definition of the National Council on Social Studies in the United States in 1992 is also important in emphasizing how comprehensive this course is. According to this definition, social studies collaborate with different sciences such as anthropology, archeology, history, geography, law, economics, philosophy, political science, religion, psychology, and sociology. In addition to citizenship rights and responsibilities, the topics that include human rights, in general, are covered in the social studies course. In this light, social studies can be viewed as a course in which citizenship rights and obligations are taught to raise individuals who are responsive to human rights. In this context, the four main values, feeling valuable, equality, democratic education, and a culture of coexistence, that can be offered within the framework of citizenship and human rights in social studies courses are discussed below.

“…Increasing the competitiveness of the agricultural industry depends on the degree of development of professional and non-professional competencies of employees. In modern conditions, the totality of knowledge and skills, as well as the degree of development of professional and non-professional competencies, is called human capital (Tarman, 2018;Mikhailushkin et al, 2018a;Krasyuk et al, 2018;Lisin et al, 2018;Chitsaz et al, 2019;Pritvorova et al, 2018;Yigit, 2018). This definition has undergone significant evolution and as a scientific concept was formed in the middle of the 20th century.…”

The study uses the statistical method, the method of analogy and comparison, as well as the positive and normative approach. Findings: The study indicated that in the agricultural sector there are several problems associated with the formation of human resources. This is evidenced by the presence of negative trends that have been observed over the past 20 years. The main problems are the low educational level of workers, aging professional staff, and a reduction in the number of employees in all positions. Practical implications: The socioeconomic problems considered in the article indicate the urgent need to develop a mechanism of state support for agricultural workers. Originality/Value: The authors define the concept of human capital and reveal the essence of the factors influencing its formation, revealing them from the perspective of the socioeconomic development of the region.
