 Kazakh mentality.
Kazakhs are one of the most hospitable and friendly nations. They are known for
their respect for the older generation and family traditions. But there are
weaknesses in the features of the Kazakh people that you need to know in order to
strive for the best.
Relation to history
The Kazakh people are proud of their history and culture, they remember and
honor all the exploits of the batyrs and will be happy to share stories about their
victories and conquests. But everyone has their own options for the development
of events, and sometimes it is difficult to understand where the truth is and where
the fiction is.Respect is also called for by the fact that almost every Kazakh knows
about his ancestors up to the seventh generation. Maybe this is due to the fact that
since ancient times, there was a ban on marriages between relatives just before the
seventh generation. Today, even a child knows and remembers the names of their
most distant relatives.
Kazakhs in everyday life
People in Kazakhstan are very careful about the traditions of their people and
skillfully follow them in the modern world. The apartment of a Kazakh family may
have a new European renovation and appliances, but the traditional corpeshki and
pillows will be laid out on the floor.
Young children easily master computers and speak English, and their
grandmothers still wear national outfits and jewelry. But, despite this difference, in
such families there is love and mutual understanding.
Children are taught from childhood to respect and honor their elders, but parents
themselves should treat their children with great respect and love. Sayings have
been preserved since ancient times: "The house is good when children play in it",
"Without children there is no happiness in the house" and others.
Big family
Since ancient times, Kazakh wives gave birth to as many heirs as God sent them.
Perhaps that is why every citizen of Kazakhstan has so many brothers and sisters,
grandparents. In this regard, in the life of the Eastern people there are a lot of
weddings, matchmaking, anniversaries, funerals and other occasions to get
together.
The holidays are usually attended not only by relatives, but also by highly
respected people, the pride of the people. The more a person is praised, the higher
his position in the country. Big relatives are the pride of the Kazakh people. Caring
for your family and helping even the most distant relatives is considered a natural
manifestation of humanity. And in sorrow and in joy, the Kazakhstani will always
find support and will not be left alone.
