Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) and the modernization of Turkey

One way that Mustafa modernized Turkey was that he changed the way his people dressed and made it more modern like the Europeans and he eliminated the Fez which was a hat that they considered an object of ridicule. Another way that he modernized Turkey was he changed the way that women were viewed in their society because he stated that women had to wear covers for their faces and had to bow their heads when a man passed by in other societies and he did'nt want that level of difference between men and women in his society. For me secular means to not involve religion or sacredness in something and Mustafa made his country more secular by eliminating their sacred or religious attires and replacing it with a more modern and European-style clothing.
