INTRODUCTION
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev chaired a video conference on May 6 on measures to improve the system of foreign language teaching.
Every year in our country, several areas of science are selected and developed with special attention. This year, physics and foreign languages have been identified as such priority areas.
Uzbekistan's policy of openness, active entry into the world market, expanding international cooperation in all areas increase the need for knowledge of foreign languages.
Today, 25 higher education institutions in the country teach in foreign languages. In 2016, they were only 7. The number of graduates who have received an international language certificate has increased 10 times in the last 3 years.
This year, the El-Yurt Umidi Foundation has awarded scholarships to 350 students to study at prestigious foreign universities. That's five times more than in previous years.
In recent years, there is a great attention in the sphere of learning foreign languages. The cause is that learning a foreign language gives a chance to work internationally, to learn other countries, often developed ones practice and exchanging experience with them. So President of Uzbekistan is paying his much attention to education and foreign languages and signing rules and decisions. For instance, one of them is signed in May 19, 2021 “On measures to bring quality to a new level of promotion of foreign language learning activities in the republic of Uzbekistan”. The main purpose from this document is to develop the sphere of education, especially language learning. In this way, almost all educational institutions have mentioned their aims, goals and responsibilities, and doing them one by one.
In the nineteenth century, the Romantic period in literature began. It represented a change from rational, Lockean thinking to emotional reasoning. It was a satire on the Enlightenment and Puritan periods. The value of imagination, emotion, nature, and individuality was emphasized in this philosophical movement. Transcendentalism, Dark/Gothic Romanticism, and Sentimentalism were the three major branches of this period. Romantic literature emphasized individuals during a period when the Industrial Revolution was sweeping America and humans were being supplanted by machines. People were naturally good, according to the Romantics, and discovery occurred via intuition and feeling. The Romantic age was defined by a preference for imagination over logic, which was a fundamental criticism of the Enlightenment. Awe and appreciation for nature also inspired Romanticism. During this time, poetry was very popular. Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, and Ralph Waldo Emerson were some of the most famous poets of the day. In addition, Emerson was a key role in the Transcendentalist movement. The beliefs of Transcendentalists and Romantics were extremely similar. They believed that human senses were limited and that through intuition, a person may "transcend," or travel beyond their physical senses into another world. The Gothics believed that when a person was secluded from others, evil manifested itself in them. Edgar Allen Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Washington Irving, and Herman Melville are among the best-known Dark Romantic authors.
The nineteenth century was a period in American history that was immensely rich. Following the American Revolution and the War of 1812, the United States was still in the process of developing its own identity and culture. This period, known as the Romantic Era, had a significant impact on American philosophy and could be credited with giving rise to the concept of "being an American." The Romantic Era was marked by a cultural and literary movement that began in Europe and later spread to the United States, where it took on a life of its own. Romanticism began as a reaction to Industrialism and the restricted neoclassical notions of the previous Enlightenment period. It eschewed modernity, logic, and religious rigidity in favor of human passion, self-exploration, and the importance and beauty of nature. It was a time when emotion overtook reason, and self-expression trumped customary restraint. In the history of American literature, American Romanticism was the first true literary movement to emerge from the country. In fact, the Romantic Era in the United States was dubbed the "American Renaissance" because it was at this time that American writers and artists began to seek out a distinct "American" voice from their British and European counterparts. Only a few decades after the American Revolution, and in the aftermath of the War of 1812, the country found itself in a position of newly obtained independence and boundless opportunity in terms of national identity. This liminal state sparked a boom of creativity and artistic growth that lasted for decades. American painters were inspired by British romantic writers who focused on natural aesthetics, passion, and the ego, and began writing about America through these Romantic lenses. For example, the Romantic enthusiasm for environment prompted William Cullen Bryant to write poems describing New England outdoors. These writings influenced Henry David Thoreau, a prominent figure in American literature, who became a leading member of the peculiarly American movement of Transcendentalism. Walt Whitman, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Emerson, and Thoreau were among America's best writers, and their works include Moby Dick and The Scarlet Letter. Individualism, the self, and national perception were all explored in each work, which varied in genre and substance. Perhaps the ideological characteristics of this era can help us comprehend why we are who we are.

Like previous literary trends, American Romanticism grew out of European romantic movements. Its origins can be traced back to the eighteenth century in the United Kingdom. From roughly 1820 to the end of the Civil War and the advent of Realism in America, it dominated the literary scene. It originated as a reaction to the previous period's formal orthodoxy and Neoclassicism. It is distinguished by a lack of authority, forms, and traditions seen in Neoclassical writing. It replaced the neoclassical emphasis on reason with its own emphasis on imagination and emotions, as well as the neoclassical emphasis on authority with an emphasis on individuality, putting the individual at the center of all existence. For a more detailed description of the elements of Romanticism, see the list of themes and elements below.

The first full-fledged literary movement in the United States was American Romanticism. It was composed of a collection of authors who wrote and published between 1820 and 1860, while the United States was still establishing itself as a nation.
For a reason, American Romanticism is known as "American" Romanticism. That's because, while the writers who made up this movement shared many traits with their European counterparts over the Atlantic, they also established their own particular brand of Romanticism. The movement was influenced in particular by the United States' distinctive history and terrain. The American Romantics were focused with issues of democracy and liberty, which stemmed from the American Revolution, which led to the country's independence from Britain in 1776.
