COMPLICATIONS OF BAD VICES IN SOCIETY

Abstract:
. This article tells the story of how people like "maraz" live like a mouse looking for a
hole in society, devouring someone's name, work, reputation, trying to achieve the goal not the
hard way, but the easy way - that is, through slander, deceit, deceit, deceit. In the story, a major
social problem is revealed through the personal actions of the deceased: the rise to power in
society with contempt and slander, the destruction of righteous people, and the use of death as a
tool for the sake of prestige. This refers to a situation that often occurs in the Uzbek social life.
Keywords:
Slander, Evil, Captain, Police, Chairman, Secretary, Hunter, Four Years, Bad People,
Position, Interest, Work.
The story begins in the form of a conversation between two people - the author and a
retired police captain. As they sit down to tea together, the captain notices a suspicious man
coming out of a dark narrow street. That person is the "maraz," the central figure of the story.
The captain then tells the story of all the tricks, cunning, slander, lies he made over the course of
four years, and finally how he disappeared as punishment for his own guilt.
The persona of the slanderer, who is given in the story as "maraz", is tall, neck, nose,
face long and black, wears a black hat, wears black glasses, has two bones under his chin, and his
head resembles a symbol of death. Of course, here we can highly appreciate the writer's skills.
The "smell of shadow" from the slanderer also justifies what a wicked and he is corrupt person.
There are a lot of people like that in our society. There are people who always do nefarious
things for their own benefit, try to discredit the respect and authority of others, try to convince
others of their false conspiracies. Even our persona, who is not named in the story, had been
whispering in the captain's ear for four years, falsely mixing such nefarious intentions.
As the captain tells his story, we can witness one thing: that is, people with such
intentions always look like themselves, when they want to get a job, they work hard, not pass an
interview, they think about the ins and outs of getting someone off the course of action or getting
a job in a light way. As the captain says: "The black heart has nothing but bad to people, and
expects only this from people, so he is always worried, secretly takes food even in his mouth,
secretly chews, secretly swallows " .
And the fact that he does not feel guilty for his actions indicates that he has not even
had strong faith in life, that he is a dishonest man. The fact that after the secretary's incident,
after being used to the job for a while, becomes a volunteer leadership trainee, but the problem:
the fact that the leader still thinks that he is still a trigger, that he could not have died sooner,
shows what a bad slanderous person the image of "maraz" is. He goes the other way: he pours all
the crimes he could have committed while sitting in this seat to the chairman and begins to pour
letters to the police with various signatures, but without an address.
This is also evidence that he did not feel guilty about what he had done before. Do you
think that there are no people in our society, whether they are at work or married? Anyone who
spreads perniciousness even among his relatives, who rises up and does harm to another, who
tells you what he did not happen, who hurls slanderers at you. If they are conspirators, then

people who believe through someone else's words are real conspirators.
