Ottoman

There was a lot of pride in being loyal to the state. This is why I was most interested about the exemption of the peasant families in the system. This could be a way to prevent poverty, but sending children away to be converted to a different religion and becoming slaves is too immoral for me. I wonder , did this idea to unintentionally not harm , but to serve the state, turn into an influence to raise young boys to become killing soldiers in countries like Congo today? I felt that Hurrem Sultan was an important part of this passage. Her and her husband set up a great influence of companionship for the public to look upon to. This change of history was also helping other women feel like an necessary piece to this society. The idea of being faithful to one woman seemed like a taking a huge step into the future since their was a culture during and before this time to have multiple wives and lovers.
