In the modern world, being a culturally defined Uzbek is quite difficult for me. I often wonder what it means for me to be part of an Uzbek culture. To my great dismay, I no longer really feel like an Uzbek. After being away for too long, my Uzbek language deteriorated and my cultural values ​​underwent plastic and internal surgery. It is quite shocking how acutely and visibly I lost touch with my Uzbek identity, as my flight to modernism and the resulting involuntary cultural detachment prevailed in ever sharper contrast. I would be considered a bit of a heretic, but although many conservatives call me an unfit Uzbek, I believe that my character has been intimately shaped by Uzbek culture, etched in good morals and imbued with human sensibilities. I moved away from my Uzbek roots transparently and willingly, willingly and unconsciously. Growing up, I often heard: “That's not the Uzbek way to say it” or “That's not an Uzbek thing to say.” Now I completely understand the true meaning of these words. If I were to respect the philosophy of Uzbek culture, I should first and foremost marry an Uzbek woman, as she is undeniably the most esteemed cornerstone of my culture's complex marriage code, but one which I choose not to want to maintain. These days my parents humorously call me anti-cultural, but I strongly disagree with that, which ironically only reinforces my perceived non-conformity - I'm clearly a divergent. Today, Uzbek culture seems to be at odds with transcendentalism. intercultural novelties of a world in full globalization....... middle of paper ....... Like every era, each civilization leaves behind monuments and an artistic culture in the form of cities and works of art. art, all this forms the basis of the national memory of its historical heritage. Cradle of many ancient cultures and center of many empires, it is perhaps the most fascinating of all Central Asian republics. The past has left us many “autographs”, in architecture and traditions, while the land itself has shaped its citizens. My homeland accomplished the greatest mission in its history: it linked a city and a desert, settled areas and nomads, integrating them into a single nation on its sacred soil. She has shone through war and peace, lived conquered and free, but just as her past is a tightly woven web of vibrant colors, her future seems complex and confusing – an algorithm of beliefs, traditions and ethnic idiosyncrasies.
