What is patriotism?
It is the unity of people based on citizenship.
How did patriotism arise and why is it needed?
Millions of years ago, starting from ape-like ancestors, humans have been social creatures living in packs, tribes, and clans. People realized that surviving and overcoming natural phenomena and enemies was easier together than alone. Later, they understood that even …
Ұлтшылдық-бұл адамдардың этникалық тегіне негізделген қауымдастық.
Ұлтшылдық қалай және не себепті пайда болды?
Бұл құбылыс миллиондаған жылдар бұрын, біздің ата – бабаларымыздан, үйір жануарлардан, кейінірек қарабайыр адамдардан бастау алады. Сол кездің өзінде олар отарда, тайпаларда, руларда ұжымдық өмір сүрудің пайдасын түсінді. Бұл өз аумағын басқа топтардан қорғауды, ірі жануарларға шабуыл жасауды жеңілдетеді және т.б.
Сондықтан генетикалық деңгейдегі адам әлеуметтік мінез-құлыққа, …

I am the captain of a football team and sometimes I have to select players to participate in competitions. Since there are always more volunteers than places on the team, unpleasant situations often arise when I have to exclude someone from the main lineup. Recently, one of my friends complained, “Why didn’t you take me to the competition? We’re old …

“Public procurement in our country has become synonymous with corruption.
However, there is another area that is subject to abuse, no less than tenders. This is the procedure for entering the civil service.
It would seem that the procedure for admission to state bodies is described in detail by laws and regulations. They even provide video recording of the interview. …

Corruption is rampant only in a closed, opaque state apparatus.
The closeness of the state apparatus is possible only under an authoritarian regime.
An authoritarian regime is possible in the absence of political competition and democracy.
Therefore, it is useless to fight corruption in an authoritarian state, because some corrupt officials will be replaced by other corrupt officials.
We need …

I’ve noticed an interesting pattern: the flexibility of a person’s body is directly related to the flexibility of their character.
For example, I have a friend who seems like he swallowed a stick. He has a slim and straight body, but it’s difficult for him to bend, lean, or twist: his torso seems to be frozen. His character is the …

There are different situations.
The first is when a tourist enters the store and addresses the seller in his own language, and the seller knows the buyer’s language, but does not speak it in principle.
I have often seen this attitude in France. Many French people are jealous of the English language and do not want to speak it, although …

Probably, each of us has had to face a dilemma in life: which side to take in a dispute or conflict – on the side of one’s own or on the side of the right (after all, one’s own is not always right).
For example, your son beat a neighbor’s kid in the yard. His father came out and kicked …

Human behavior is based on two basic instincts inherent in it genetically: the instinct of survival and the instinct of reproduction. These are fundamental instincts that are inherent in all living organisms existing in nature and thanks to which they have been preserved and developed.
People, as highly developed and highly organized beings, in the course of the evolution and …

I could never understand people who don’t accept criticism.
They get offended by any comments addressed at them; zealously watching that no one makes caustic remarks behind their back; any unflattering statement and they’re ready to pounce at you with fists or sarcastically exclaim: “Look at yourself.”
I feel sorry for these people.
To hide from criticism is like turning …
