Abstract
The concept of basic human values in Oriental and Occidental cultures: linguistic representation
Highlights
Some trends we face today, such as globalization and global migration, development of consumer society, ethnic conflicts and cultural misunderstandings, AI development and abundance of information, as well as the exacerbation of environmental and social problems lead to a misinterpretation of traditional concepts and changes in value systems
This research aims at revealing similarities and differences between the interpretation of values in Occidental and Oriental world as represented with English lexemes functioning as part of the ―value‖ concept, and at studying written sources which explicate the value systems under study
Based on the study of various author approaches and opinions, we suggest that, for the purposes of this paper, a value should be interpreted as the core of cultural concepts representing characteristics, things and phenomena which are important, sacred or preferable for respective nation or culture
Summary
Some trends we face today, such as globalization and global migration, development of consumer society, ethnic conflicts and cultural misunderstandings, AI development and abundance of information, as well as the exacerbation of environmental and social problems lead to a misinterpretation of traditional concepts and changes in value systems. Despite the seeming tolerance toward various cultures and beliefs, there are still many misconceptions and misunderstandings which may arouse tension between representatives of various cultures. This research aims at revealing similarities and differences between the interpretation of values in Occidental and Oriental world as represented with English lexemes functioning as part of the ―value‖ concept, and at studying written sources which explicate the value systems under study. Scholars and specialists in religion and culture studies stress the dwindling role of religion in contemporary society. This is why values and standards may be analyzed using the rules prescribed by religious doctrines, but laws and regulations as well
