Рассматривается глобализации культуры, ее положительного и отрицательного воздействия и

It is a great achievement for any country to preserve its language and culture. To gain access to the
top 30 developed countries, it is also important to have a world language proficiency in promoting
knowledge and skills. However, preserving language and culture in the 21st century has become a challenge.
Nowadays, it is well-known that young people studying the language do not only learn foreign languages,
but also apply their culture to their everyday life. At the same time, the English language, which has acquired
the status of the world language in the near future, is expanding. Accordingly, the influence of English-
language culture on young people has been intensifying. Reforms on English language learning and
transition to three languages are in place in our country, so that we can have a window with other countries,
to be competitive. However, in addition to English, some parts of her culture are also accustomed to Kazakh
national traditions. If we want to learn a different language and start learning from its culture and history, do
we not lose our tradition and tradition that we become the world's leading states? At the same time, I want to
analyze the impact of studying English on our country and its impact on our culture.
Let us begin by examining the world of English, which we have been accustomed to and learn, from
the point of view of a positive impact on the development of the Kazakh nation as a state. First of all, as I
said above, nowadays English has been recognized as the "first" nationwide, the first place among the world
languages. There are many existing brands, world-famous brands, well-known companies, about a dozen of
IT technologies, and all new information is in the English language. A simple example is the Internet that we
use daily. About 54% of online information is published in English and 30% of them have not yet been
translated. And if we get the rest of the languages for comparison, then the Russian language information is
published in the second place, and the percentage of their full coverage is 6.0. These statistics have been
published on March 30, 2019 [1]. Based on the specific facts we have, we can confidently say that a person
who knows English is one step ahead of others in the 21st century. In the information world, the person who
engages in production requires only business activity and attentiveness. It now needs access to information
sources, and it should be able to use it. The social well-being of the country is measured not only by the
availability and funding of natural resources, but also by the level of public awareness in the field of new
ideas and technologies, its education, intellectual development, creative potential. In the overall structure of
this wealth, the value of cultural capital is rarely increased even in relation to natural and economic wealth
[2, р.15]. Even more than half of the vocabulary of every person living in a contemporary style is English.
All of the successful businesswomen, such as "teambuilding", "hashtag", "training", "coaching", "coaching",
"consulting", "franchising", translate words in the Kazakh language. Speaking of the advantages of using the
above terms in linguistics, first of all, our speech is understandable. The reason for this is that the new tales
of foreign words have yet to be spread all over the world. Secondly, the difficulties and misunderstandings in
contracting with foreign companies are diminishing. Do not the two companies understand the language of
each other easily and make no sense in the environment? This is a good motivation for businessmen in
learning English. Some issues related to terms may lead to deeper researches and conflicts of opinion.
If we follow the principle that the stick has two ends, we can say that learning a foreign language and
cultivating a culture can damage our original language and our traditions that have long been established.
First, if the whole world learns the same language, and if the culture of the same language appeals to them, it

will lead to global culture. Of course, the main sign of nationality and ethnicity is the language, and then the
culture of that nation. Let's just recall what culture is. Spiritual and material cultures include the daily life of
the people, the style of clothing, the food they eat, the movies they watch, the speech style, and the
vocabulary of the language [3]. If the process of globalization of English culture is broad, it will affect the
Kazakh people as well. It is a threat to the appearance of our culture as an image of foreign culture, just as
we have to follow the dress code, to overcome our national costumes, to replace national food with foreign
fast food, to forget the Kazakh words in our original language, and to use the mass of new nation-wide
words. According to modern interpretations, global culture is explained this way. Globalization can also be
called "international integration." Because globalization of culture in the world will be the basis of only one
culture in the world. In the 21st century, America's culture in the United States has grown into a world-
renowned state. We can see it with American sports and American sports figures. Basketball has become a
sport all over the world. And not just that, American business is working in the corners of the world.
Starbucks and McDonald's, KFC, are a small example of American business that is widely available
worldwide. You can find these businesses in major cities in many countries. Globalization also affects
traditional food in the country, which affects the local economy. Wide popularity of international restaurants
affected local residents. At present, international cuisine is being used by locals. As a result, local and
traditional dishes disappear. Although the party is a small part of this growing culture, it is definitely a
substitute for national cuisine and sports, clothing samples and traditions.
If we analyze the language changes individually, we will come to terms with the above mentioned
term. It is also possible that international terms can be translated from the national language status into
"dead" languages. If we look at every word that comes from a foreign language, and if we do not find
alternative alternatives, we can lose the Kazakh language and lose its national status. Even if we use
everyday words such as "audience", "lecture", we use "strange" words that are used in our daily routine, even
though they have Kazakh equivalent. Indeed, if our lexicology consist only of international terms, it is
possible that almost every word in the Kazakh language vocabulary rises from year to year, it is possible that
the Kazakh language can be used even in the middle of the century.
In conclusion, it can be seen that the influence of the popular English-language culture on the
Kazakh one is quite high. As you can see, cultural globalization is a very important issue for international
relations. If we want to know all languages, we should respect our language, and in order to protect ourselves
from the danger of losing a nation, we need to preserve and maintain our language and culture.
