Роль и место культуры чтения в современной жизни Узбекистана

Abstract

In the article, the author makes a comparison between printed and electronic (screen) books. Materials are presented that indicate the mass abuse of young people for computer and telephone games. He cites concrete data from social surveys of the level of reading culture in different countries, confirming the opinion about the benefits of reading paper books. Despite some advantages of the e-book – accessibility, volume capacity, cheapness, the author, through scientific evidence, shows the negative aspects of e-reading. In particular, he speaks of a deterioration in vision, muscle tremor, and a lack of aesthetic pleasure. Points to a direct connection between the high culture of reading young people and their education, the development of new knowledge and socialization in society. The critical situation in countries with a low level of reading culture is considered, which predicts an irreversible intellectual collapse and economic stagnation in the future. The question is raised about the possibility of overcoming the crisis of the culture of reading by strengthening the role of the family, parental control and pedagogical influence in educational institutions.
