Multi-vector cultural connection in the conditions of modern globalisation
Abstract
Culture is the main value of the existence of not only individual peoples and small ethnic groups but also states. There is such a concept as the cultural unity of the world. That is, it is necessary to realise that the cultural values accumulated by peoples over the centuries do not belong to one particular institution or country, but are common to all mankind. It is for this reason that to establish a multi-vector cultural connection in the world as a whole, it is worth starting with the unification of all people of this culture. Multi-vector cultural communication was forced to rely primarily on previously prepared paradigms. It was conducted all over the world through the “West-East” antinomy. The study examines the world experience of establishing multi-vector cultural ties. The term globalisation is explained and focuses on the views of the nation in the era of globalisation when goods and money are exchanged endlessly in the conditions of globalisation. The qualitative changes that have occurred in the cultural life of the people since the proclamation of independence by the Republic of Kazakhstan are considered. The emergence of a qualitatively new global geopolitical and geo-economic situation forces modern Kazakhstan to reconsider its position in the world. The purpose of the study is to consider the multi-vector cultural connection as a means of integrating the Republic of Kazakhstan into the world community. The paper uses the method of analysis of legal documents and a historical approach. It is concluded that a multi-vector cultural connection is an objective necessity, which has brought a lot of benefits on the path of gradual integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan into the world community since independence. One of its results is that Kazakhstan is a prosperous regional state, an initiator of regional integration processes, and an active participant in global and regional structures. Thus, the spectrum of multi-vector cultural ties is vast, and the area under study is very diverse and plays a special role in the upbringing of generations
