I am a fullstack developer specialized in frontend technologies like reactjs. I also love programmimg in go. Currently im working on https://stormkit.io to make developers lives easier.
I grew up in Turkey. The educational system there is built in a way that a 14 years old kid needs to determine which path to take. Either you choose social sciences or natural sciences. I didn't want to study physics and chemistry back then, so I took the other way :) I speak 4 languages, so I thought an international study would be more appropriate for me and that's how I ended up with political science and international relations. I actually loved studying it. I learnt a lot about how the world works. Also, for me programming was more like a hobby, I never thought it would be my profession.
Regarding your second question, I guess this an essay question :) But in short, it depends where you look. The level of Swiss democracy is very advanced. People live in prosperity here, and they actually govern the state. The politicians are here to represent us and do the paper work. Obviously, you have cases where politicians are corrupted, but for the third year in a row, It's ranked as the third least corrupted state in the world :) Turkey, on the other hand, is very corrupted. Unfortunately there is no more independent institution in the country. From the media to the judiciary system, everything is under the control of the government. So if you take Switzerland as an example, politics can actually work. If, on the other hand, you look at Turkey you will be very desperate about the future. I believe one advantage when compared to the older times is the social media tho. People are much more informed than ever. This might change something hopefully.
Hmm, the last question is a bit tricky. The level of education in Switzerland is very advanced. Also they are very bound to the rules. If you break the rules, you will be warned/criticised by the people before receiving a fine by the police. There is social pressure to be correct here. Education is expensive tho, but luckily Switzerland is also very rich. Zurich is one of the top paid cities in the world. So people can afford education. The more educated a person is, the better he/she will reason when voting for a bill. In other words, the society is the regulatory body for the political institutions. They're directly involved with the political affairs. This wouldn't work in Turkey tho, as the average Turk is uneducated and mostly they vote for a leader without even checking what's in the proposed bill. So I guess the secret is the combination of education and wealth. That's what makes it work here.
I beg to differ on the effect of Education, here in Tunisia, education is not that expensive and the majority is educated yet we are still ending up over and over with the same faulty corrupted governements. In our case it might be because the big majority of voters are the older generations deciding the future they won't be part of, it might be that corruption got normalized (it's pretty normal to talk about bribery and inherited work positions, cheating,...: it might be funny but this is a real thing, kids inherit their parents jobs here).

Yeah the political culture is also a major factor in determining the level of stability. I understand what you mean because I grew up in a similar culture and the worst thing about it is that it's very difficult to change it. Perhaps that's why I didn't work in politics but rather decided to start an engineer career :)
It's kinda ironic, one can't do politics in 3rd world countries that critically needed since making a change impossible, and don't have to do politics in developed countries like Switzerland since the system is in constant evolution (in a good sense of course).
