Summary/Abstract: Individuals and their communities are constantly innovating and developing. This development is the same whether it is in the political sense, in the form of a reflection of capitalism with a focus on profit and exploitation, or in the context of elements such as science and technology. In this process, the conflict of departure from the essence happens internally in closed social structures that are influenced by innovation but cannot accept the new situation. In brief; under the influence of technology and mass media, the drift and change towards a central identity take place through the birth of a decentralized society structure from a traditional social structure. It is a definition of modernization and the crisis of identity which is formed in this process. Together with modernization, it is also possible that there is a change and identity confusion in the same way in many different societies like Alevi, Sunni, Kurdish, Turkish, Gypsy, Circassian. In this study, it will be focused on definitions from the traditional society towards modern society, which is based on developments and innovations, will be tried to analyze the identity crisis that is the result of the reflections going towards a single identity structure called centralized identity. Besides, an analyze will be realized about the effects of the law on the social structure during the modernization process.
