Keywords:
Value orientation, communication, culture, ethnicity, nation, regularities, landmarks.Abstract
The development of Kazakhstani society is presently at the stage where the life values held by the population are witnessing a transformation. Due to socio-economic difficulties, the importance of prestige and wealth is increasingly emphasized in the social value system. Against this background, the state has assumed the task of promoting a system of value orientation that reinforces national priorities: independence, social harmony, and patriotism. Taking into account the previous analysis, we can conclude that human values have a significant impact on the system of social relations in Kazakhstan. Socio-economic changes taking place in the country have resulted in certain changes in the nation’s value system. Thus, although the respondents attributed having a family, doing good to others, and being healthy to the category of the traditional life values, economic instability has led to a wider preference to the category of prestige, which includes having a prestigious job, high salary, and abundant money. In this study, an analytical review of the literature revealed that the value orientation o f individual ethnic and social groups is a vital strategic objective, as ideological orientations play a large role in the development of the ethnic identity of a nation.References
