Introduction
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev chaired a meeting on measures to improve the system of teaching foreign languages on May 6. Several areas of knowledge are determined every year in Uzbekistan, the development of which is given priority attention. This year physics and foreign languages have become such areas. “The time has come to create in Uzbekistan a new system of teaching foreign languages, which will become a solid foundation for the future. Since we set ourselves the goal of building a competitive state, from now on, graduates of schools, lyceums, colleges, and universities must be fluent in at least two foreign languages. This strict requirement should become the main criterion for the work of the head of each education institution,”¹ Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.
Stories of war display essential cultural concepts, expectations, and self- images more prominently than other kinds of literature. In the extreme situation of war, society demands that its (mostly young) citizens risk their lives for the common good. So conflict becomes the occasion for questioning the validity of those individual and collective values and concepts of self and other in whose name one might die prematurely–especially at moments when victory is uncertain. Thus, the literature of war brings forth models of a nation’s (or a people’s)“storifying of experience”: acts of“literary sense- making”¹ (or the lack of it) performed in response to particular historical situations–situations that, effectively, require the suspension of norms crucial in peaceful societies and sanctify the use of collective violence.
American experiences of the Second World War provided ample scope– and need–for storifying. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7,1941created a massive consensus in the USA about the moral and political necessity offighting the Japanese military hegemony in Asia and its fascist European allies. The ensuing conflict saw US armed forces deployed all over
the globe–on land, on sea, and in the air–for nearly four years. According to estimates,² aboutfifty million people died from1939to1945in combat, through bombing, in prisoner-of-war (POW) and concentration camps, or through famine and disease induced by the conflict. American troops not only faced a multitude of different theaters of operation and types of military
action, they also had to learn to live with the awesome destructive power unleashed by thefirst US nuclear bombs, with the horror they found when liberating Nazi death camps, with prolonged POW experience, and with their new role as members of an occupation force responsible for re-educating, administering, and reconstructing a number of morally, socially, and eco- nomically devastated countries. Following the experience of the First World War, attitudes towards conflict itself were more pragmatic and provided much less ground for the disillusionment of great romantic expectations; war was seen as an unpleasant obligation rather than an opportunity for
The subject of the given research includes the American literature after Worl War II.. Literature is the inherent subject which should be taught almost in all schools, colleges, universities and other educational institutions.
