EXPLORING SOCIAL CRITICISM IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK SHORT STORIES THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOLS

The exploration of social criticism in English and Uzbek short stories through the lens of artificial intelligence demonstrates the enduring relevance of literature as a tool for understanding and challenging societal structures. Across both traditions, short stories serve not only as artistic expressions but also as powerful vehicles for addressing issues such as inequality, cultural tension, identity, and moral responsibility. Despite differences in historical context, narrative style, and thematic emphasis, both English and Uzbek writers share a common commitment to reflecting social realities and provoking critical thought.
