Introduction:
The reforms carried out in our country in
recent years related to the introduction of the principle
of gender equality into society deserve attention. In his
speech in Uzbek at the 75th anniversary session of the
United Nations General Assembly on September 23,
2020, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan
Shavkat Mirziyoyev outlined the priority directions for
the political, social, and economic modernization of
Uzbekistan and specifically addressed the gender issue.
In particular, "The policy of gender equality has become
a priority for us. The role of women in public
administration is increasingly growing. The number of
female deputies in our new parliament has doubled,"
she noted, noting the ongoing work on women's policy
in the country.
Eastern scholars have viewed women as delicate
creatures, protecting them from the evil eye. Boys were
raised with a deep understanding of honor and dignity
from an early age. In the family, girls, as future
mistresses, learned a craft and preserved the honor of
the family. However, regardless of the child's gender,
special attention was paid to their education and
upbringing. Schools for boys existed at mosques in
cities and villages or in the homes of literate people in
the neighborhood. Schools for girls were also opened
by otins, oymullas, and khalfa women. True, religious
knowledge was given in such schools, but at the same
time, time was also allocated for arithmetic, writing,
and the work of poets. The number of subjects in
madrasas increased, and the quality of education also
improved. Based on this, we understand that education
and upbringing have always been organized in
harmony, inseparably, in the territory of Central Asia
since ancient times.
For the humanities, gender serves as a general
scientific category. Therefore, the principles of the
gender approach are applied equally in pedagogy, as in
all humanities. However, gender principles operate in
connection with the specifics and methods of
pedagogy. Three groups of characteristics are
important for clarifying the description of gender:
biological affiliation, gender-specific role stereotypes,
norms of behavior and relationships that men and
women adhere to based on the requirements of
society.
The culture of boys and girls is formed mainly in the
process of education. It creates the basis for the unique
socialization of boys and girls. In the educational
process, the socialization process, characteristic of
boys and girls, is carried out systematically. In
textbooks and teaching aids, gender stereotypes
characteristic of boys and girls are reinforced with the
help of various educational materials. The main goal of
this is the formation of specific behavioral
manifestations in each of the boys and girls.
In the acquisition of cultural values, the systematization
of relationships between boys and girls is of particular
importance. The formation of gender culture in each of
the boys and girls is of particular importance for their
successful socialization and stabilization of the cultural
life of society.
Many educators, psychologists, and sociologists
emphasize that the formation of certain gender-
specific behaviors in boys and girls is linked to social
factors. In particular, globalization and the increasing
prevalence of hybrid culture in society are the basis for

the emergence of gender imbalances in the behavior of
boys and girls. As a result, the concept of social
construction of gender emerged.
Today, when the threats of "mass culture" are
intensifying, values characteristic of boys prevail in
girls, and values characteristic of girls in boys. Such
relations are acquiring a bilateral character. Changes in
social status are also affecting the value system.
Today, addiction to social networks is one of the most
common phenomena among adolescents, and
supporters of "mass culture" are poisoning the minds
of adolescent boys in this way. This serves to ensure the
dominance of aggression in their character. Most
adolescent boys are against traditional marriage in the
future. Most of them do not clearly understand their
role in family life or consider it a relic of the past. A
group of teenagers supporting the idea of a free family
life is being formed. This will lead to the devaluation of
family values in the future.
Despite the fact that measures are being taken to
combat various actions of supporters of "mass culture,"
there are insufficient opportunities to achieve
effectiveness in this area. Supporters of "mass culture"
negatively influence the minds of boys and girls by
creating various religious organizations. Therefore, the
government of the Republic of Uzbekistan, in order to
form a healthy religious belief and worldview among
young people, is carrying out tasks in such priority areas
as regulating religious education and upbringing,
forming a healthy religious worldview and belief in the
minds of young people, developing the culture of
members of society, and instilling respect for the
religious heritage of our ancestors.
At the same time, the creation of a pedagogical system
for protecting adolescent boys and girls from the
influence of negative information on social networks is
of particular importance today. It is required to develop
strict measures to instill national cultural views in the
minds of students. The essence of such measures is
aimed at protecting adolescent students from the
influence of mass culture. The negative influence of
"mass culture," first of all, forms a sense of
unconsciousness of their sexuality in boys and girls. To
mitigate the negative impact of "mass culture" on boys
and girls in educational institutions, members of the
pedagogical team should also be particularly active.
Identifying the influence of "mass culture" on
adolescent boys and girls allows us to search for
measures to eliminate its negative consequences.
Today, the sphere of influence of hybrid culture is
constantly expanding and has many negative
consequences. Its negative consequences can be
eliminated only on the basis of a comprehensive
impact.
The influence of culture on boys and girls is an integral
part of the overall culture. This manifests itself as a
gender culture. This concept has a complex character
and
encompasses
economic,
political-legal,
educational, everyday, historical, and many other
areas.
The culture of boys and girls is formed mainly in the
process of education. It creates the basis for the unique
socialization of boys and girls. In the educational
process, the socialization process, characteristic of
boys and girls, is carried out systematically.
As is known, the Constitution of the Republic of
Uzbekistan guarantees equal rights for citizens
regardless of gender. Along with this, taking into
account the equality of boys and girls in the educational
process, a national culture and behavior characteristic
of each of them are formed. Such an approach has
emerged over many centuries and has proven its
positive aspects through the test of time.
Currently, there is no gender discrimination against
women in the Republic of Uzbekistan. In particular, the
rights of girls and women are not limited in the
assimilation and manifestation of cultural values in
their behavior.
In textbooks and teaching aids, gender stereotypes
characteristic of boys and girls are reinforced with the
help of various educational materials. The main goal of
this is the formation of specific behavioral
manifestations in each of the boys and girls.
In the acquisition of cultural values, the systematization
of relationships between boys and girls is of particular
importance. The formation of gender culture in each of
the boys and girls is of particular importance for their
successful socialization and stabilization of the cultural
life of society.
In general, the education system is a specific subject of
personality socialization. In the current conditions of
increasing attacks on "mass culture," the formation of
gender culture among adolescent boys and girls in
general secondary education institutions and the
stabilization of cultural relations between them are
becoming increasingly difficult.
Adolescent boys and girls have the right to express
their gender characteristics. This, in turn, is necessary
for their successful socialization. For the purposeful
formation of gender culture in each boy and girl, it is
advisable to understand the existence of women,
correctly assess their role in society, study the history
of issues related to women, the causes of their
emergence, ways to solve these problems and
prospects for the development of gender culture, and
