This article analyzes the concepts of transcendence and nature in Chinese philosophy based on the teachings of Confucius, Laozi, and Buddha. While Confucius sees man as a social being adapted to moral standards in society, Laozi considers him to be a natural being who must live in harmony with nature. In Buddhism, however, the central place is occupied by the attainment of spiritual maturation, deliverance from illusion, and reaching a transcendental state. This article provides a comparative analysis of the approaches of these three philosophical currents to human nature, its perception of the self and its spiritual and spiritual elevation. Through philosophical ideas, the relationship between man and nature is revealed, as well as the content of transcendence.

This article analyzes the causes of migration through a comparative study of John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath” and Abdulla Kahhor’s “Fairy Tales from the Past” (“Utmishdan ertaklar”) . The main focus is on economic and social factors that push people to migrate. By employing the comparative-analytical method, the article examines how both authors depict the struggles of ordinary people against economic hardship, and social injustice. The analysis highlights the key themes in these works and links them to relevant scholarly studies. Personal insights are also offered regarding how these causes of migration are still relevant in the modern world.

This article explores the depiction of a hero's struggle for happiness in Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Iqbol Mirzo's Bonu. Both works present protagonists who face societal constraints, moral dilemmas, and personal hardships in their pursuit of fulfillment. Tess and Bonu emerge as symbolic figures of resilience, navigating environments that restrict their agency. While Hardy critiques Victorian social norms that dictate gender roles and class divisions, Mirzo reflects post-Soviet cultural tensions and shifting social values. This comparative study highlights the universal nature of human perseverance and the impact of societal expectations on individual well-being. By examining key themes such as fate, love, and social injustice, the article underscores how these literary figures resonate across cultures and historical contexts.

The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has raised arguments about its impact on creativity, particularly in foreign language teaching. While some view AI as disrupting traditional teaching methods by reducing teachers' creative abilities, others see it as a powerful tool that aids language learning. This paper addresses the dual role of AI in foreign language teaching, explaining how it can limit or expand teachers' creativity. The study considers AI-facilitated tools, their effect on lesson design, learning customization, and students' motivation. While AI can't replace human creativity, it has the potential to serve as an imagination assistant that aids teachers rather than disempowers them. The study suggests that AI, when used effectively, is capable of reinforcing instruction and crafting a more interactive and dynamic language-learning environment.

Narrative texts are essential in literature and storytelling, relying heavily on the interplay between the author, narrator, and characters. These three components play distinct yet interconnected roles in shaping the narrative, offering different perspectives, and contributing to the overall meaning of the text. The author is the creator of the story, the architect of the narrative world, and the one who initiates the plot and its themes. The narrator, however, is the medium through which the author conveys the story, influencing how the plot is perceived by the reader. Meanwhile, characters are the vehicles of action within the narrative, embodying the themes and conflicts that drive the story forward. This paper explores the roles of the author, narrator, and characters, examining their functions, interactions, and the ways in which they collaborate to construct a cohesive narrative experience.

This paper explores the qualitative characteristics of euphemisms and their role in creating politically correct language. It examines euphemisms as a stylistic tool that softens or masks negative connotations through various linguistic mechanisms, such as periphrasis, hypernyms, litotes, and abbreviations. The study emphasizes the impact of temporal, social, and national factors on the evolution and usage of euphemisms. Additionally, it highlights how political correctness leverages euphemistic strategies to frame information in a more neutral and socially acceptable manner.
