Problems of Forming the Moral and Spiritual Worldview of Karakalpak Youth in the Context of Globalization

The article examines the socio-philosophical problems associated with the formation of the moral and spiritual worldview of Karakalpak youth under the conditions of globalization. Globalization is interpreted not only as an economic or technological process but also as a profound transformation of cultural meanings, social relations, identity patterns, systems of values, and mechanisms of socialization. From this perspective, the moral and spiritual worldview of young people is formed at the intersection of global information flows and historically developed national and cultural traditions. The article pays particular attention to the Republic of Karakalpakstan, where the processes of globalization interact with distinctive ethnocultural traditions, the Karakalpak language, historical memory, family and community values, and the ecological consequences of the Aral Sea crisis. The rapid expansion of digital communication creates significant opportunities for education, intercultural dialogue, and self-development; at the same time, it may contribute to value fragmentation, information dependence, cultural homogenization, weakening of intergenerational communication, and uncritical adoption of external cultural models.
