Patriotism
is a feeling of love for the country, to Fatherland, a place where you were
born, grew and realized yourself as the personality, love to Fatherland above
than love to the state. Not without reason patriotism traditionally is
considered as the moral and political principle of education which contents
love to the Fatherland as pride of its past and the present. The concept the
Homeland, place where I live, where early childhood begins, but formation of
patriotism develop at the personality during all life, reflectingin political
processes participation, in protection of the Homeland, in understanding of
responsibility for the role in life of society. Kazakhstan patriotism not new
concept. In a usual and scientific turn such terms as the American patriotism,
the Russian patriotism, French, Japanese, etc. are settle used. Until recently,
we were proud of the Soviet patriotism.Who knows, could Soviet people win over
fascism, without love to fatherland?
Patriotism
love to the Fatherland, feeling of communication with its history, culture
components a spiritual and moral basis of the personality. Patriotic education
- not the simultaneous act. Process of patriotism formation has own ideology
and purposeful system. In preschool institutions, at schools patriotic
education begins with education of children on examples of life and activity,
with exact examplesof Kazakhstan people, defending integrity and inviolability
of the Homeland. In memory of the Kazakh batyrs: KarakypshakKoblandy,
Alpamysbatyr, Er-Torgyn, Er-Kosaya, Er-Kokshe, Bayan batyr, Kabanbaibatyr,
Bogenbaybatyr, Raymbekbatyr and others. Their feats on protection and revival
of the Kazakhstan lands can be an example for imitation present generation. All
mass media have to organize the work for the purpose of their featspromotion,
create feature and animated films, process of scientific researches publishing.
In
the most developed country of the modern world – the USA - the problem of
education of love to the Homeland begins with studying of attributes, statehood
symbols. The tragedy on September 11, 2001 rallied national consciousness of
Americans, and compelled the U.S. Government to pay more attention of
ideological consolidation of society. After all model of the person focused
only on financial success and personal wellbeing not always yield positive
result in system of the public relations. Besides personal aspirations of the
person are necessary it is general human values and one of them is the feeling
of patriotism. Therefore the state concept of Kazakhstanformation is under
construction as follows: the education of the Kazakhstan patriotism, which is
carried out through knowledge of national ethnocultural traditions and customs of respectinstilling
for the historical past.
Independence
of our state is a symbol of the Kazakhstan patriotismpride. The concept of
independence acts as the basis of unity of Kazakhstan urged to unite our
people.
In
many respects education of patriotism begins with a state language which is the
same symbol of statehood as the anthem, a flag, and the coat of arms.
Furthermore, to be the patriot of the country, it is necessary to begin with
itself, to learn Kazakh language – such purpose we set before pupils of school,
before modern youth. The respect for a state language, studying of language,
pride of it are components of our daily work at school.
The
person we pay attention to the state symbols which promote formation of the
Kazakhstan patriotism. Therefore, since early childhoodit is need to impart
love and respect for our Flag, the Coat of arms, the Anthem. In this direction,
system workswith use of modern techniques. It is important to inform child that
symbols of Kazakhstan are not simply distinctive signs of the state, state
symbols is our history, an embodiment of centuries-old dream of the Kazakh
people and the people living in Kazakhstan about freedom, independence and
prosperity.
Today,
when most part of cultural wealth is lost, it is especially important to bring
up at teenagers system of moral values, qualities of heart such as diligence,
honor, decency, mercy, aspiration to continuous self-improvement and training,
discipline. The young citizen has to know the roots, traditions, all the best
that distinguishes Kazakhstan citizens.
Huge
role in patriotic education belongs to activity of akyns, zhyra, biis,
political and public figures of Kazakhstan. Possessed so huge patriotic
potential to a zhyra, who called for unity and unity for ensuring territorial integrity
of the Kazakh lands. Many writers and poets wrote about the Homeland, about the
love to it.
The homeland is the city, in which
You was born, the aul where you grew, school where you
studied,
in a word, it is Wednesday which promoted
to your formation as person.
If this is so, you have to know
them, they are necessary to you, as air and water
