Taboos in Kyrgyz, Russian and English

This work explores the concept of taboos, their role in society, and their variations across different cultures. Taboos are social, cultural, and religious prohibitions that regulate behavior and communication. While some taboos maintain order and preserve traditions, others may seem outdated or restrictive. The study focuses on taboos in Kyrgyz, Russian, and English, analyzing their differences and significance. In Kyrgyzstan, taboos emphasize respect for elders, family honor, and religious beliefs. In Russia, many taboos are linked to superstition and politics, while in Great Britain, they are mostly related to politeness and personal boundaries. The paper also discusses the evolution of taboos, highlighting how societal changes influence their relevance. The analysis concludes that while taboos play an important role in shaping cultural identity, they should be reconsidered when they limit personal freedom or hinder progress. Understanding taboos helps improve cross-cultural communication and promotes tolerance.
