UNIT 1 G LO BAL INFORMATION
AND YOU 
Ubiquity of English
Wide spread use of English today is obvious, and 
the fact of its becoming a global language is inevitable. 
Presently, it has spread its roots all over the world. 
In the field of politics, economics and diplomacy 
English became an essential skill. Hence, students of 
all directions and specialties are highly interested in 
language acquisition. The environment itself supports 
learners, providing them with language bits from all 
around.
The Internet makes learning process incredibly 
easier, in ways that were not possible before. It makes 
it easier to connect with people who speak different 
languages. An enormous amount of information is 
processed in English, and more than half the world’s 
technical and scientific papers are published in English 
as well.
The widespread use of English has been a great 
argument. The Chinese government is promoting the 
teaching of Mandarin in order to establish Chinese as 
the new international language. Yet the difficulty in 
means of writing Chinese characters, and the tonal 
nature of the language, make it unlikely to come out 
as a preferred language for not native speakers of 
Chinese. Another case is French. French used to be the 
language of diplomacy and the preferred language of 
international exchange. Educated people in Europe, as 
well as the Americas, Africa, Asia and the Middle East 
were proud to speak French. However, this is much 
less so the case today. And subsequently Esperanto, 
is offered up as an alternative. It was offered as a 
politically neutral international language. It also has 
been constructed quite rationally and easy to learn, but 
in the foreseeable future no society is likely to change 
English as a highly convenient means of international 
communication to any other language.
The same is about our own country. Wherever you 
go or whatever you deal with you surely stumble on 
something in English. Not only in capital Tashkent 
but in distant regions you can come across English 
expression. For instance, here in Tashkent even in

some areas like Chorsu, Chopon ota or Kukcha where 
national bias are favored, one may count out lots of 
English words used in ads, brand names, tabloids 
and so on. Therefor language acquisition is now less 
laborious owing to the whole environment contributes 
its improvement. Also less actual is the argument of 
lacking due environment, because basic words are 
mostly known for inveterate housewives as well.
information and Security
Today we are going to check students’ ideas about 
Information Security and if they know how to avoid 
its attacks. So, now we are in front of the Uzbekistan 
National University. Hi, can you answer a couple of 
questions please? It is like a survey.
- Ok,
- So, what is your name?
- I a m .......
- Thank you, er, the question is How do you 
understand Ideological Pressure?
- Er, hmm, let me think... oh, maybe someone tries 
to make us follow his ideas oh, maybe religion, or 
maybe they may persuade to buy their product, not 
letting you think properly. Pressure maybe not in its 
meaning, it can be done by supporting financially. It 
is impacting philosophically, making you believe that 
it is the right way. It is usually with purpose, like 
political maybe.
Now we are in front of the WLU (Uzbekistan State 
University of World Languages).
- Hey, hi! Can you answer a couple of questions, 
please? It is like a survey.
- Ok,
- What is your name?
- Oybek
- Oybek, so, How do you understand Ideological 
Pressure?
Oh, it has ending “logos” it means subject, so it 
is a subject which learns ideas. As for the pressure... 
I know there was a “high blood pressure” (ha ha) 
oh here - dictionary says - “the use of persuasion 
or intimidation to make someone do something”, 
ahh, it is like making people to follow one’s ideas. 
Err, maybe, like forcing someone to accept one’s 
religion or tradition or maybe life style. I have heart

about missionary activities, religious extremism, 
fundamentalism ideas and how they work.
3. How can we get protected from IT attacks?
Err, most prevalent of those methods is antivirus.
It is such a program, that has own bases of all viruses 
and cure them. It scans our computer and detects 
dangerous files. Famous of them are Dr,Web, Avast, 
Kasperskiy, and Eset Nod32. Besides, any computer 
has its own means of protecting. It is firewall. Firewall 
is the first “wall” between computer and internet. It 
doesn’t let viruses come into your computer. Then, 
we should avoid some untrustworthy sites, spams, 
and use some programs that view all the files of your 
computer.
4. How can we protect Intellectual Property?
Yeah, we should protect it somehow, as there are
greedy attacks. But stopping infringement copyright 
is not an easy thing. We have to get special licence or 
a patent for our inventions till others own it officially. 
So, then, if someone suddenly copies intellectual 
property such as books, songs, programs, whatever 
without authors’ agreement, owner would certainly 
have a just cause of putting the law on them, on that 
person. And eventually that law breaker obviously 
must pay a fine or will be sent to prison (ha ha). But 
it is too difficult to prove. But law does not work in 
everywhere, for example in far villages people can 
easily make fool of others showing others works as 
his own masterpieces.
5. How do you understand Intellectual Property?
Well generally speaking, it is everything that is
created or invented by human intellect. For example 
literary works, artistic works, such as books, songs, 
movies, computer programs, and etc, ah, then there 
symbols, trademarks, designs, inventions (they are 
also called industrial property). Author takes patent 
if he wants and if he is the first, if it it is possible and 
other users copy it only with the agreement of the 
owner.
6. How can we protect our youth from Ideological 
Pressures?
I think, we have only one way to protect them. 
It is paying attention to their spirituality seriously. 
Education system in schools, colleges, lyceums and 
high schools must be perfect from spiritual point of 
view. We should be attentive with secondary education 
students because they are in the beginning to be 
independent from constant watchfulness of teachers 
and parents. And bad groups often deal with this stage
of society. If we choose this way, our youth will have 
their own ideas. Otherwise, they will be uneducated 
and have big ideological gap. We should teach them 
our traditions, religion, and political point of view.
7. How do you understand IT attacks?
It is like securing or protecting information from 
external attacks. Software like viruses, malwares 
and other spywares can be tools of hackers’ attacks.
As you know IT threats are rising day by day and 
it is becoming hard to secure computer, er not only 
personal computers but governmental IT systems 
also, err, banks also suffer from IT attacks. So, they 
should be secured. Programmers are creating up to 
date antivirus.
8. How can we protect our youth from Ideological 
Pressures?
hm, first of all the adult who teaches him, I mean 
parents, teachers should know which is the right way, 
which is not. Some people say that we should protect 
our youth from ideological pressures. But I think 
differently, if a person has not immunity to defend for 
strange ideologies he can be influenced no matter how 
old he is. You remember some adults were impacted 
by religious extremism, terrorism and other hostile 
ideologies. We should have immune tolerance against 
such er such lets say attacks. Parents should know 
whom their children communicating via social sites.
Studying With Multiple 
Sourse
nks! Now, will you share your opinion 
about using Multiple Sources and why should we use 
it in studying process?
Would you like to begin Mr. Tursunov.....
Some people prefer studying from single material; 
others contend that multiple sources are more suitable 
for learning. Some believe it is less complicated route 
and get concentrated on one material. However, recent 
researches point to the effectiveness of using multiple 
sources when studying or learning.
To use multiple sources best, you should refer to 
secondary sources when you stumble upon something 
you can’t understand or doubt and when primary 
source is not available. For example, unless you 
attend the seminar or conference, where you can 
listen to the authors directly, seeing their emotions 
and feeling their tone which undoubtedly contribute 
your comprehension, you may use the publication of
