The Sociolinguistic Situation: Past, Present and Future in Bashkortostan

Social linguistic situation: Bashkortostan's past, present and future Introduction Bashkortostan republic was placed in the area between the Volga and Ural rivers. That natural gas and oil resources made this area an important part of the Russian Federation. Recalling its history, Bashkortostan has an area of ​​143,000 square kilometers and a population of over 4 million people and has always been an important area in terms of ethnicity and language diversity (Gorenburg, 1999; Grimes, 2000).

I was born in this wonderful town called Bashkortostan Republic. First of all, I should tell you about the general republic. The Bashkortostan Republic is located south of the Ural Mountains. People there are speaking Bashkir (Bashkot phone) and Russian. Most of the population of Bashkir is Muslim, but even Christian. The name of the Republic is translated as "Major Wolves"

Focus on the present and focus on current and present. Culture looking at the future of "changing the situation of one person (now)" is not an urgent task. This is a fact. It may have been different in the past. The future may be different. But now it is a fact. As Kluckhohn stated, reality-oriented culture "considers the future to be an ambiguous and unpredictable period with little attention to what has happened in the past" (p. 348). Communication and psychology literature that encourages Americans to "spontaneously" or "to live in the present" can be seen as an expression of Americans' difficulties in conceptualizing the current orientation. In current culture this advice is unnecessary.

Past, present, and future direction culture will pay different attention to past, present and future. Compared with other countries, North American countries tend to pay attention to the present and the future. Most European countries are more balanced about past, present and future concerns. Many Asian countries are extremely worried about the perception of North Americans' distant future. The impact of different priorities on past, present and future may be the most obvious in the plan. North American administrators are mainly interested in achieving results within 5 years. Their long-term plan covers five to ten years. In addition, employees employed in North America usually take several weeks to several years to prove to be successful. Employees who failed during this time are usually asked to find another job or be fired. In contrast, Japanese companies tend to hire employees aiming for employees with lifetime employment.
