Kazakhstani Cultural Values

The cultural heritage of the people of the Republic of Kazakhstan is a set of cultural values of state importance belonging exclusively to the Republic of Kazakhstan without the right to transfer them to other states. This definition is given in paragraph 3 of Art. 1 of the Law "On Culture".

Period of developing Kazakhstani Cultural Values

In the culture of Kazakhstan there are three periods:

1. Before the Soviet - at the heart of religion and folk art with the illiteracy of the majority of the population.

2. Soviet - the creation of writing with the Cyrillic alphabet, the ideas of internationalism, low national identity.

3. Modern - the development of a culture of independent Kazakhstan, the rise of national identity under the patronage of the country's leadership.

Kazakhstani Cultural Values

Since ancient times, Kazakh national values were considered:

- freedom (any Kazakh could gather his yurt overnight and move with his family to another village or to an endless steppe);

- mutual assistance (the famous Kazakh custom “Asar”, when the whole village helped to build a house or to collect a new herd of livestock instead of a burnt home or a herd fallen from jute);

- hospitality (custom, due to the value of any wanderer in the deserted steppes);

- respect for elders

Kazakhstani Cultural Values

At the same time, there are also such values that clearly do not fit into modern realities:

- tribalism (separation of a single nation by kind, the granting of various privileges on a generic basis);

- protectionism (providing illegal support to friends and relatives in various matters, the so-called telephone law or the "principle of bac-sake");

- arrogance (parading its real or imaginary advantages in terms of material wealth, kinship, own achievements or the achievements of relatives).
