History

The strange submission of beaded stars

Falls on my back

I surmise a classical music strangely beautiful

It’s ringing is poised yet melancholy

The cuckoos nest is safe today

A sweet ecstasy of sun burnt smile

The flagrant dreams keep rolling

Tonight as it is known the songs will pray

For the fall of roman empire

Historic preservation is needed

The aura of narcotic mystery

The same time is preserved

It’s calling is a song perched halt.

Corona Virus: Where Are Thou Sting?

2020 came with great promises

The people planned the year on great premises

Suddenly, out of the blue, an emergence disrupted several priorities

It was a Dis-Ease that has caused untold anomalies

The disease was the projected Corona Virus 

Its presence has engineered a global population minus

The disease has made the graveyard of death filled with countless bodies

Corona Virus seems to have left the living with few goodies

Though, 2019 was when the personality of the Corona Virus was announced,

 In 2020, The world never imagined its magnitude of negative havoc would be pronounced

But ‘when there is life, there’s is hope’, as the saying goes

The coming to life of humanity is what the world knows

shortness of breath

Fever

Loss of weight

Weakness and

Incessant sneezing 

  are your body-impairment weapons

But you fail to realize The solution of hope;

The remedy of good health;

The potency of a last solution;

are at the doorstep of humanity’s consciousness

Now, the question is:

Introduction

Linguistics, as one of the most important fields of human thought, culture, and social life, studies language phenomena both theoretically and practically. In the 21st century, the rapid development of science and technology, globalization, and the growth of information flows place new challenges before linguistics. Therefore, among the current issues of modern linguistics, the development of national languages, terminology, language teaching (linguodidactics), translation studies, computational linguistics, and sociolinguistics occupy a special place.

Main Part

1. Development of the National Language

The national language plays a central role in the cultural and spiritual life of society. Developing the language based on literary norms and ensuring its full use in public administration, education, and science is one of the most urgent tasks of linguistics.

2. Terminology and New Terms

Scientific and technical progress constantly introduces new concepts. It is important to create consistent and nationally appropriate terms in Uzbek to express these concepts and to form a unified system of terminology.

3. Linguodidactics and Education

The process of teaching language requires the use of new methods, digital resources, and interactive approaches. In particular, teaching Uzbek effectively to foreigners is among today’s pressing issues.

4. The Importance of Translation Studies

High-quality translation of the cultural and scientific heritage of other nations into Uzbek, as well as the translation of our national literature into other languages, strengthens cultural ties. It is essential to preserve semantic accuracy and national identity in the process of translation.

5. Computational Linguistics

Modern technologies have given rise to a new field in linguistics. Developing an electronic corpus of the Uzbek language, creating automatic translation programs, speech recognition systems, and artificial intelligence–based projects are among the most important current tasks.

6. Sociolinguistics and Speech Culture

Language and society are closely interconnected. Issues such as innovations in youth speech, the influence of internet language, and the relationship between dialects and the literary language are at the center of sociolinguistic research. At the same time, it is necessary to promote speech culture and adherence to literary norms.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the current issues of linguistics are directly linked to the development of modern society. Developing the national language, improving terminology, advancing translation studies, enriching language teaching methods, developing computational linguistics, and addressing sociolinguistic challenges are the main tasks facing linguistics today. Preserving and developing language in accordance with the demands of the time serves as a strong foundation for the future of the nation.

Currently, she works as a teacher of the Uzbek language and literature at Secondary School No. 86 in Yangi Namangan district, Namangan region. Since childhood, Samiya has had a deep interest in Uzbek and Turkish literature. For this reason, she also mastered the Turkish language and earned a certificate. Her ultimate goal is to become a highly qualified specialist in her profession and to share the valuable knowledge she has acquired with future generations.

The rapid expansion of digital technologies has redefined the foundations of modern societies. This paper examines the multifaceted role of computer literacy as a determinant of human capital development in the twenty-first century. By analyzing its impact on education, professional competitiveness, information security, social interaction, and personal growth, the study underscores the necessity of integrating digital competence into both national strategies and individual development agendas.

Introduction

The twenty-first century is widely described as the era of digital transformation. The accelerated growth of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has reshaped nearly all domains of human activity, from education and healthcare to governance and business. International organizations such as the World Bank and the United Nations emphasize a strong correlation between a nation’s digital capacity and its economic performance, educational quality, and institutional effectiveness [1][2]. Within this framework, computer literacy emerges not merely as a technical skill but as a strategic resource for sustainable human development in the globalized world.

The Role of Computer Literacy in Modern Society

1. Education

Digital literacy enhances learners’ autonomy and fosters innovative approaches to knowledge acquisition. Access to online databases, electronic textbooks, and interactive platforms facilitates self-directed learning and critical engagement with academic content. Empirical studies by UNESCO suggest that educational systems with high digital competence levels achieve up to 30% higher learning outcomes compared to systems with limited digital integration [3]. This demonstrates the catalytic role of technology in academic advancement.

2. Professional Development

In contemporary labor markets, computer literacy constitutes a baseline requirement rather than an added qualification. A survey conducted by the World Economic Forum in 2024 reported that 92% of employers demand at least fundamental digital competencies from potential candidates [4]. Moreover, ICT proficiency enables professionals to adapt across diverse fields, including medicine, engineering, business, and creative industries. The global shift toward remote employment further illustrates how computer literacy facilitates access to international labor markets, thus enhancing global workforce mobility.

3. Critical Thinking and Cybersecurity

Computer literacy encompasses more than operational skills; it includes the capacity for critical evaluation of digital content and responsible online behavior. Given that cybercrime inflicted economic damages exceeding 8 trillion USD worldwide in 2023 [5], awareness of cybersecurity practices has become essential. A digitally literate population is better positioned to safeguard personal information, resist disinformation, and contribute to the establishment of a secure digital ecosystem.

4. Social Interaction

ICT has revolutionized communication and collaboration, fostering both local and global integration. Tools such as video conferencing, e-learning platforms, and social media networks enable individuals to participate more actively in civic and professional life. Estonia, for example, is internationally recognized as a digital nation where over 99% of government services are provided online [6]. This model illustrates how digital competence enhances transparency, efficiency, and citizen engagement in governance.

5. Personal Growth

On an individual level, computer literacy broadens opportunities for lifelong learning, entrepreneurship, and creativity. Platforms such as Coursera and Udemy democratize access to education, allowing millions of learners worldwide to acquire new skills and advance their careers [7]. Furthermore, digital tools encourage personal development by supporting creative expression, intellectual exploration, and participation in the global knowledge economy.

Conclusion

Computer literacy has evolved into a fundamental prerequisite for success in the contemporary world. It contributes not only to academic and professional advancement but also to the protection of digital security, the strengthening of civic participation, and the enrichment of personal life. Consequently, policymakers should prioritize the integration of computer literacy within national education and development strategies, while individuals should recognize it as an indispensable component of lifelong growth. Ultimately, digital literacy represents the cornerstone of sustainable progress in the information society.

Keywords: emotional intelligence, social skills, empathy, communication culture, preschool education, cooperation.

Enter

In today’s globalization process, one of the main tasks of the educational process is to form not only knowledge and skills, but also personal and social qualities in children. A person’s full self-expression and effective functioning in society are directly related to the level of emotional intelligence (EI).

Psychologists believe that the earlier a child learns to understand his own emotions, manage them, and respond appropriately to the emotions of others, the higher his future educational success and level of adaptation in social life. Therefore, the development of emotional intelligence in the preschool education system is one of the most pressing issues today.

The main part

The concept of emotional intelligence

The concept of “emotional intelligence” was first introduced into scientific circulation by American scientists P. Salovey and J. Mayer. Later, D. Gouleman developed this idea and identified five main components of emotional intelligence:

1. Understanding one’s own emotions;

2. Self-control;

3. Intrinsic motivation;

4. Empathy,

5. Social skills.

These components play an important role in a child’s personal development, educational success, and future professional career.

The importance of emotional intelligence in preschool education

Preschool is a crucial period in the psychological, social, and emotional development of a young child. During this period, the development of emotional intelligence provides the following opportunities:

creates the child’s ability to understand and correctly express their feelings;

managing negative emotions and channeling them constructively;

-develop a culture of communication with peers;

-developing group and team work skills;

enhancing empathy and compassion.

Methods for building social skills

The following methods are effective for developing social skills in children:

is:

1. Role-playing – children learn to understand the feelings of others by acting out different situations.

2. Collaborative tasks develop communication and collaboration by completing tasks together in a small group.

3. Through fairy tales and stories, artistic works instill qualities such as distinguishing between good and evil, kindness, and helpfulness.

4. Artistic activities enhance the ability to express emotions through music, painting, and drama.

5. Cooperation with parents and emotional support in the family ensure psychological stability in children.

Scientific and practical foundations

According to psychological research, the age range of 3-6 years is the most active period in a child’s emotional and social development. Therefore, educators and psychologists should pay special attention to the development of emotional intelligence in children.

The “Concept of Preschool Education” adopted in the Republic of Uzbekistan also identifies social and emotional development in children as one of the priority areas.

Summary

In conclusion, the development of emotional intelligence and social skills is an integral part of the preschool educational process. A child with high emotional intelligence:

-can understand himself and others; -keeps balance in stressful situations;

– establishes positive social relationships;

– achieves high results in education.

Therefore, special programs aimed at developing emotional intelligence in children should be developed in collaboration with educators, parents, and psychologists. This will not only ensure the harmonious formation of the child’s personality, but also create a healthy, tolerant, and cooperative society in the future.

Therefore, developing emotional intelligence is the most important foundation for successfully building a child’s future.
