Paternalism might resemble a father figure starting from the 19th century, particularly a father from a more kindly and stable time, superimposed on the image of a boss. According to Sennett, this picture of authority is paternalism, as high capitalism constructed it. Paternalism is mostly seen in authoritarian regimes or where democratic values and culture are not established in a given society. In Turkey as well, the state is seen as a father in political culture; some leaders who have charismatic and/or traditional authority could be seen as a “father” portrait.
