Humanity today is experiencing an era of rapid technological growth and global modernization. The world is changing faster than ever before — but, unfortunately, this development has also led to a growing distance between humans and nature. Forests are being cut down, rivers polluted, and the air filled with harmful substances. These are not just environmental problems; they are the consequences of our attitude toward the planet. In this situation, only one force can change the way we live — environmental education.         

Environmental education is not simply a school subject about plants and animals. It is a philosophy of life that teaches us to live in harmony with nature. A person who receives environmental education learns to see the environment not as a resource to be exploited, but as the very foundation of life. This awareness forms the essence of a sustainable and responsible society.         

For a nation to truly progress, it must develop not only economically, but also morally and environmentally. A citizen with ecological awareness does not litter out of fear of punishment; they act responsibly because they understand that protecting nature means protecting oneself. This is why environmental education should begin from the earliest years of childhood. When a child waters a tree, learns not to waste water, or picks up trash, they are forming habits that will shape their entire worldview.     

In Uzbekistan, environmental education has become one of the key directions of state policy. Projects such as the “Yashil makon” (Green Space) initiative, the introduction of ecology lessons in schools, and youth participation in clean-up campaigns are important steps toward shaping ecological consciousness. These efforts demonstrate that environmental protection is not only the government’s duty — it is a shared responsibility of every citizen.         

The development of society depends on the human factor. And humans can only truly progress when they live in balance with the natural world. Environmental education should therefore be regarded not as an additional branch of science, but as a foundation of national development. A society that understands and respects nature is a society that ensures a stable economy, healthy people, and a sustainable future.         

However, despite these positive steps, environmental indifference still remains one of the main threats to our planet. Plastic waste poisons the seas, fertile soil is disappearing, and climate change is bringing new diseases and disasters. No technology or law can protect the Earth if human beings themselves remain careless. This is why environmental education must become an integral part of culture, family upbringing, and national identity.         

Environmental education changes not only how we think about nature — it changes who we are. It teaches patience, compassion, responsibility, and gratitude. When we plant a tree, save water, or separate waste, we are not just performing simple actions — we are expressing our philosophy of life.         

In conclusion, environmental education plays a decisive role in shaping a responsible and sustainable society. It raises awareness, strengthens the moral foundation of humanity, and gives us the opportunity to leave behind a cleaner and greener world for future generations. We must learn to view ecology not merely as a subject, but as a way of life — only then will true progress be possible, in harmony with nature and with ourselves.

PROTECTING PERSONAL DATA IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Abstract:

This article analyzes the problems and challenges of personal data protection in the digital era. It highlights the importance of privacy, cybersecurity, and legal mechanisms for ensuring data safety in a rapidly developing technological world.

Keywords: personal data, digital security, privacy, cybersecurity, information law, technology.

Introduction

In today’s digital world, personal data has become one of the most valuable resources. Every online action—social media usage, online shopping, or digital communication—leaves a digital footprint. Protecting this data is one of the key challenges of the 21st century, requiring legal, technological, and ethical solutions.

Main Part

1. The importance of data protection

Personal data includes information that identifies an individual, such as name, address, ID number, or online behavior. When such data is misused, it may lead to fraud, identity theft, or violation of privacy rights. Therefore, protecting personal information is crucial for ensuring human dignity and freedom.

2. Legal frameworks and international standards

Many countries have introduced laws to protect personal data, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union. These laws aim to give individuals more control over their information and hold organizations accountable for its misuse.

3. The role of education and digital literacy

Raising public awareness about data protection is as important as legislation. Citizens, especially youth, must be educated on how to safeguard their digital identity, use secure passwords, and recognize online threats.

Conclusion

To conclude, personal data protection in the digital age is not only a legal issue but also a matter of personal responsibility. Combining legal measures, advanced technology, and digital literacy is the key to building a secure and privacy-respecting information society.

The Importance of Natural Feeding in a Child’s Development

Today, beauty standards and elegance remain pressing topics among women. At the same time, many young mothers are unjustifiably giving up natural breastfeeding. Concerns such as body shape, the risk of infection in breast milk, or the belief that formula contains more vitamins are often cited as reasons — but let’s take a closer look: are artificial formulas truly beneficial?

Yes, formula milk does provide energy for infants. Its iron and B-group vitamins support muscle and brain development.

However, despite these benefits, there are also significant downsides. A common issue among infants—bloating—is actually an allergic reaction to artificial feeding. Moreover, since the baby’s digestive system is not yet fully developed, constipation often occurs.

An excess of gluten in formulas can also lead to iron deficiency, resulting in anemia.

Although some young mothers choose this method for the sake of convenience or body image, scientific research has proven that artificial feeding can negatively affect not only the child’s physical health but also their emotional and intellectual development.

1. Weakening of the Immune System

Breast milk contains immunoglobulin A (IgA), lactoferrin, lysozyme, and many vital micro and macro elements that strengthen the infant’s immunity, acting as a natural vaccine against respiratory and intestinal infections.

According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), illness and mortality rates are significantly lower among breastfed infants compared to those fed artificially.

2. Risk of Metabolic and Endocrine Disorders

Artificial feeding can cause excess protein and calorie accumulation in the infant’s body. Over time, this increases the risk of obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.

3. Psychological Developmental Changes

Breastfeeding naturally fosters a strong emotional bond between mother and child. This closeness helps the baby feel safe and secure, forming the foundation for future emotional and social development. In contrast, artificial feeding reduces this connection, often leading to sleep disturbances and frequent crying.

Moreover, breastfeeding provides not only emotional intimacy but also physiological benefits, such as the natural spacing of pregnancies through lactational amenorrhea.

Conclusion

This period is not merely about feeding a child—it is a shared emotional journey filled with love and trust. Breast milk nourishes the body, but a mother’s care nourishes the soul. Therefore, natural breastfeeding is the key to a healthy generation and joyful motherhood.

Mother Tongue — The Pride of Our Nation

October 21 is the day when the Uzbek language was granted the status of the state language.

The mother tongue is the most precious and sacred language for every human being. From the moment a person is born, they begin to know the world through the words of their loved ones and the lullabies of their mother. Even if they do not yet understand those words, they can feel their warmth and love. That is why, when a child begins to speak, their first words are in their native language.

Language is the mirror of our nation — its past, present, and future. Through our mother tongue, we express our thoughts, share our dreams and hopes, and ease our pain. Every nation takes pride in its language, and we Uzbeks are proud to have the Uzbek language — a rich, refined language with a thousand-year history.

Our history, culture, and traditions live within our mother tongue. Therefore, each of us must love our language, preserve it, and strive to use it beautifully and correctly. Indifference to one’s language means indifference to one’s identity. Our language is our national pride and spiritual foundation. Protecting and developing it is a sacred duty for every one of us.

A person who cherishes their mother tongue listens to their heart — because our language is the pure and sincere voice of our soul.

The Topical Issues of Linguistics

Abstract: Linguistics, as the scientific study of language, is one of the most dynamic and rapidly developing fields in modern science. Today, it faces numerous topical issues connected with globalization, digital communication, multilingualism, and cultural interaction. This article explores the current problems of linguistics, focusing on the influence of technology, language policy, and the preservation of linguistic diversity.

Introduction

Language is the main means of human communication and the foundation of culture and identity. The 21st century has brought significant changes to linguistic research due to social, technological, and cultural transformations. Modern linguistics does not only study grammar and phonetics but also investigates how language functions in society, digital spaces, and intercultural communication. Understanding the current issues in linguistics helps researchers find ways to preserve and develop languages in the era of globalization

Main Part

One of the most urgent problems of linguistics today is language endangerment and preservation. Thousands of languages around the world are on the verge of extinction due to migration, urbanization, and the dominance of global languages such as English and Chinese. Linguists are working to document endangered languages and maintain their cultural heritage through digital archives and educational programs.

Another pressing issue is the impact of technology on language. The rise of the Internet, artificial intelligence, and social media has led to new forms of communication — online slang, abbreviations, and emoji-based expression. These changes have created a new field of study known as digital linguistics, which examines how technology shapes language use and development.

Additionally, multilingualism and language policy have become central concerns in linguistics. As people migrate and cultures interact, societies become more linguistically diverse. Governments must therefore develop fair language policies that support both national and minority languages, ensuring linguistic equality and access to education.

Finally, computational linguistics — the intersection of language and computer science — has gained enormous importance. It helps improve translation systems, speech recognition, and natural language processing, making human–computer interaction more effective and natural.

Conclusion

Linguistics today is not only a theoretical science but also a practical discipline that affects education, technology, and social harmony. The study of topical issues such as digital communication, language preservation, and multilingualism is essential for the sustainable development of global society. The future of linguistics lies in combining traditional knowledge with innovative approaches to better understand how language evolves and how it can continue to unite people across cultures and generations.

The Rule of Law — The Foundation of a Just Society

Abstract

The rule of law is one of the most important principles that guarantees justice, equality, and stability in any society. It serves as the foundation of democracy and human rights, ensuring that every individual, regardless of their position or wealth, is subject to the same legal standards.

Introduction

A society cannot be considered truly fair and developed unless it is governed by the rule of law. This principle means that laws, not individuals, hold the ultimate authority. The rule of law protects people’s rights and freedoms, prevents tyranny, and promotes equality before the law. It is the key to building public trust in state institutions and creating an environment where justice prevails.

Main Body

In a country where the rule of law is respected, no one is above the law — not even government officials. Such societies ensure that power is exercised responsibly and transparently. Independent courts, accountable governance, and active civil participation are the main pillars of a lawful state.

The rule of law also plays a crucial role in protecting human rights. It ensures that justice is served in every sphere — from political and economic life to education and social welfare. When citizens believe that laws are fair and applied equally, they become more motivated to follow them and contribute positively to their nation’s progress. On the other hand, the absence of the rule of law leads to corruption, injustice, and social inequality. When laws are applied selectively or ignored, people lose faith in justice and the state. Therefore, strengthening legal culture and promoting awareness of citizens’ rights is essential to building a just and prosperous society.

Conclusion

The rule of law is not merely a legal concept — it is a moral and social necessity. It ensures peace, equality, and justice, forming the solid foundation of a fair and democratic state. A society guided by law is a society where every person’s dignity is respected, and justice always stands above power.
