MY VALUES
Every state has its own traditions and values, which have been preserved from time immemorial and inherited from their ancestors. We, the Uzbek people, also have national holidays and values inherited from our ancestors. Every Uzbek child gets up in the morning, washes his face and hands, greets his family members and wishes them a good mood during the day. It is strange for Uzbek children to look their parents in the eye and disobey them. Even a 50-year-old son obeys and respects the word of his 70-year-old father. We, the Uzbeks, are known all over the world for our high values, such as hosting weddings and serving soup. When an Uzbek wants to build a building, other neighbors gather in a hashar to help him. This is also one of our beautiful values. Compassion is very strong among our people. That is why on our national holiday Navruz, generous people of our people visit the elderly, congratulate the disabled and give gifts to orphans. On the Day of Remembrance and Honor, the martyred boys and grandfathers recite prayers to the soul, pray, and lay flowers at their graves.
Uzbek people pay a lot of attention to the upbringing of children. Parents try to raise their children from an early age to be well-mannered. Their daughters to be chaste, and their sons to be brave, courageous, and fiery. From an early age, they are taught to speak the truth, to respect the elderly, to respect the little ones, to help them when they need help, and to donate to the needy and the poor. This is also our values. When Uzbek parents give birth to a baby in their family, they plant seedlings with their children, because they want their babies to grow like these seedlings and benefit people. It is one of our true human values that Uzbek children do not leave their parents alone when they grow up and take care of them. We are taught by our teachers to take care of every inch of the land inherited from our ancestors, to be a worthy generation. Another high value we have is family stability. Every family to be built must bring up perfect people and family-oriented children for the state and the people.
