After its emergence in the West, it did not take much time for sociology to become a center of interest in the Ottoman Empire. Sociology was a means of finding solutions to the issues of the Empire, which was soon to collapse. As the Empire collapsed and the nation-state was founded, the focus was on the confirmation of choices and conveying them to the public rather than using sociology as a ground for the discussion of certain issues. Sociology undertook the mission of supporting this new point of view as it was acknowledged formally as a course in high schools in 1924. High school sociology textbooks were designed to include information on citizenship and the description of an ideal citizen. They were also heavily influenced by the Durkheim school, which forms the basis of our traditional view of sociology, and positivist approaches, and they included predominantly Western-based knowledge.
