    Abstract: The development of Kazakhstani society is
presently at the stage where the life values held by the
population are witnessing a transformation. Due to
socio-economic difficulties, the importance of prestige
and wealth is increasingly emphasized in the social value
system. Against this background, the state has assumed
the task of promoting a system of value orientation that
reinforces national priorities: independence, social
harmony and patriotism. In this study, an analytical
review of the literature revealed that the value orientation
of individual ethnic and social groups is a vital strategic
objective as ideological orientations play a large role in
the development of the ethnic identity of a nation.
According to Yadov, values are system elements
reflecting different levels in the structure of the social
behavior of the individual. Within the system of reference
points is a constant process of interaction and alignment
of values. We consider it timely to recall in this context,
the expression “Happiness is when a person is happy to
go to work in the morning and happy to return in the
evening.”
