Family values of modern youth

To talk about the image of today's youth, first you need to study the family as the primary institution of the socialization of the individual and understand the conditions for educating a new generation. We will talk about this in our study “Attitude of young people to the institution of the family, which MBU MMC “Chance” conducted in April-May of this year.

We decided to find out what traditions exist in Togliatti families. Most of the respondents noted that they are used to getting together for festive table and celebrate various holidays. Also, during life together traditions are formed related to household issues, such as cooking, buying food, cleaning on weekends. An important part in the life of Togliatti is occupied by the recreational sphere of life (joint vacations, travel, going to the cinema), as well as maintaining warm relations.

Moreover, 86% of respondents prefer official marriage. Data were obtained on the ideal age for marriage, according to young people of Togliatti.

Diagram No. 4 "How would you rate the relationship in your family?"

The family is one of the most ancient social institutions. The family arose much earlier than religion, the state, the army, the education system, the market. The institution of the family is considered basic, fundamental in the socialization of the individual. It is in the family that a person learns social roles, receives the basics of knowledge, behavior skills. In connection with the huge contribution to the development of mankind, many great Western and domestic sociologists were engaged in the study of the institution of the family. To talk about the image of today's youth, you need to study their families, understand the conditions for educating a new generation, determine the values that the primary institution lays in the minds of the younger generation. To begin with, we decided to ask the respondents the question: "How would you rate the relationship in your family?". In general, we can say that Togliatti families have a favorable climate and a high level of social well-being. Thus, the majority of respondents rated family relationships as "Good" and "Very good" (43% and 37%, respectively). Satisfactory relations are in 12% of the families of the respondents.

The option “Yes, rarely” was chosen by 34% of young people. Frequent disagreements in the family occur in 11%. The fact that there are no conflicts in their family was stated by 5% of the study sample. 2% found it difficult to answer.

For matriarchy - 7% of young people, they are sure that a woman is able to take responsibility. 14% of all respondents found it difficult to answer this question. Also, 1% of the respondents offered their own options: “Equality, but let the man think that he is in charge”, “I think that it can be both, depending on the nature of the people”, There is no family yet, but I am for equality - Each time the lead should be the one who is more versed in a particular case. There was also such an answer as: “In different life situations, each of the family members takes responsibility and solves the problem that has arisen: it depends on its direction.”

Diagram No. 8 "What traditions exist in your family?"

Another direction in the formation of intra-family culture is the impact of globalization on ritual, everyday festivities and traditions, i.e. household culture. The technical capabilities of everyday life, everyday rituals have increased significantly, in connection with this, there is a convergence, and sometimes unification of rituals. So, we decided to find out what traditions exist in Togliatti families. In total, 32% of respondents spoke about the traditions in their family. 29% of those who answered this question noted that there are no traditions in their family and 2% found it difficult to answer this question.

1.1. Relevance of the topic.

At present, the problem associated with the fact that people of different ages, social affiliations and nationalities are beginning to read less and less books is becoming increasingly widespread. use mostly only the Internet or listen to music.

Personally, what prompted me to choose this topic was that all people began to read less and the level of colloquial speech is getting worse, and some do not even know very famous writers.

At the moment, the number of people who like to read is becoming less and less. This phenomenon is connected with the increasing penetration of Western culture into our country and with its growing pressure on the consciousness of our compatriots, especially on young people. That is why I am interested in the opinion of people, not so much the elderly as the young.

Let my sociological research program be the impetus for all this. After all, it is useful to read various literature, each time you can learn more and more.

1.2 Definition of the problem.

There is a huge problem right now that people don't want to read. I think this is due to the fact that some do not have time, others are very tired after work or study and therefore can no longer read, while others prefer the Internet or listen to music.

1.3. Scientific development of the research topic.

Reading culture of youth: myths and reality.

Anna Akimova

1) Respondents also answered the question about their attitude to the school literature curriculum. 42% answered that it needs to be supplemented with modern literature. In second place is the answer “it contains the best literature” – 32.2%. But mostly those who are still in school answered the same way. Those who are already working, and therefore have the opportunity to read more for themselves, have a very skeptical attitude towards the school curriculum - 21.1% answered that it needs a complete revision.

The most famous contemporary writers for the respondents were Boris Akunin, Sergey Lukyanenko , as well as authors of ironic detective stories. Only 19 people were able to answer the question about a modern British writer, they all named the author of the Harry Potter series of books (Joan Rolling) . The rest called either old English writers, or even American ones.

According to the responses of young people, it is clear that they have home libraries: 38.6% answered that they have more than 200 books at home, 43.6% - from 50 to 200 books. But, despite this, young people prefer to buy books to read in bookstores (42.9%), public libraries are in third place after home libraries (18.7%). Of course, the source of obtaining a book strongly depends on age: schoolchildren borrow books from libraries (39.4%), while only 2.8% of working libraries use them.

80% of librarians are sure that today's youth reads less than in the 80s and 90s of the XX century. Although analysis of sales and reader activity shows that young people now read more than in the 1990s, when acute social problems pushed young people onto the streets, in addition, there were no new well-known authors who would act as "locomotives". Now books like Harry Potter, Coelho's books , Lukyanenko, Akunina, are attracting more and more young people, and well-known film adaptations only kindle this interest. It is difficult to say something definite about the 1980s because the official statistics of those years give very distorted information.

What hinders reading? 45% of respondents answered that television is the main obstacle for young people to read; more than 50% - that interfere with the Internet and computers. The high workload at school was also among the leaders here - 25% of librarians see this as the main obstacle for young people to read.

2) The most popular now is modern philosophy. It turned out that for the most part, teenagers choose the "advertised" authors of philosophical action games - Angel de Kouatier and Paulo Coelho. Also popular today are the Japanese philosopher Haruki Murakami, Richard Bach, who wrote the famous (and no less complex) Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Libraries always have this book on hand. A very fashionable piece! In second place is usually fantasy. Many young people prefer it. Fiction can be divided into two branches - fantasy (fairy tales) and horror. Stephen King (The Colorado Kid) is always the king of horror. No matter how you scold King, dear teachers of literature, his books will always be popular, they are read by people of all ages.
Dean Koontz is somewhat inferior to King - a modern wonderful science fiction writer.
Most books read The Harry Potter series by Joanne Rolling. They are read by everyone - from young to old. The theme of the beloved fairy-tale world is continued by the books of the famous French director Luc Besson. The magical adventures of the boy Arthur even began to be filmed. Unfortunately, only a few read books with interest and enthusiasm. About 70 percent of schoolchildren take only school literature and materials for reports in libraries. Of the classical works, young people prefer The Master and Margarita. This work has attracted the younger generations for a long time. And, finally, the most entertaining literature is magazines. They "divorced" a lot of different ones. For example, "YES!", "Lisa", "GLAMOUR". I think we should not complain that we have become less reading. Yes, the facts are very deplorable: 52% of Russians do not buy books at all, 37% do not read them, 79% do not use libraries.

On literary evolution.

Yu. N. Tynyanov

3) The position of the history of literature continues to be in a number of cultural disciplines the position of the colonial power. On the one hand, it is largely dominated by individualistic psychologism (especially in the West), where the question of literature is unjustifiably replaced by the question of author's psychology, and the question of literary evolution by the question of the genesis of literary phenomena. On the other hand, a simplified causal approach to the literary series leads to a gap between the point from which the literary series is observed - and this always turns out to be the main, but also further social series - and the literary series itself. The construction of a closed literary series and consideration of evolution within it now and then runs into neighboring cultural, everyday in a broad sense, social series and, therefore, is doomed to incompleteness. The theory of value in literary science has caused the danger of studying the main, but also individual phenomena, and brings the history of literature in the form of a "history of generals." The blind rebuff of the "history of the generals" aroused in turn an interest in the study of mass literature, but without a clear theoretical understanding of the methods of studying it and the nature of its meaning.

Finally, the connection between the history of literature and living modern literature - a connection beneficial and necessary for science - turns out to be not always necessary and beneficial for developing literature, whose representatives are ready to accept the history of literature as the establishment of certain traditional norms and laws, and the "historicity" of a literary phenomenon is confused with "historicism" in relation to him. As a result of the last conflict, a desire arose to study individual things and the laws of their construction on a non-historical plane (the abolition of the history of literature).

4) In the same way, the most difficult, least investigated question is solved: about literary genres. The novel, which seems to be a whole, a genre developing within itself over the centuries, turns out to be not one, but variable, with material changing from literary system to system, with a changing method of introducing non-literary speech materials into literature, and the very features of the genre evolve. The genres "story", "story" in the system of the 20s - 40s were determined, as it is clear from the very names, by other signs than ours. We tend to name genres by secondary productive features, roughly speaking, by size. The names "story", "story", "novel" are adequate for us to determine the number of printed sheets. This proves not so much the "automation" of genres for our literary system, but rather the fact that genres are defined in our country according to other criteria. The magnitude of a thing, speech space is not an indifferent sign. In a work isolated from the system, we are not at all able to define the genre, because what was called an ode to the 20s XIX years century or, finally, Fet, was called an ode not according to the signs that during the time of Lomonosov.

On this basis, we conclude that it is impossible to study isolated genres outside the signs of the genre system with which they correlate. Tolstoy's historical novel is not correlated with Zagoskin's historical novel, but is correlated with contemporary prose.

Strictly speaking, outside the correlation of literary phenomena, there is no consideration of them. Such, for example, is the question of prose and poetry. We tacitly regard metrical prose as prose and non-metrical free verse as verse, without realizing that in a different literary system we would be put in a difficult position.

But prose differentiates, evolves, and verse also evolves at the same time. The differentiation of one related type entails, or rather is connected with, the differentiation of another related type. Metrical prose arose (for example, Andrei Bely). This is due to the transfer of the verse function in verse from meter to other signs, partly secondary, productive: to rhythm as a sign of verse units, special syntax, special vocabulary, etc. The function of prose to verse remains, but the formal elements that fulfill it - other.

The further evolution of forms can either fix the function of verse in prose over the centuries, transfer it to a whole series of other signs, or violate it, make it insignificant; and just as in modern literature the correlation of genres (according to secondary, productive signs) is of little importance, so there may come a period when it will be insignificant in a work whether it is written in verse or prose.

5) If we agree that evolution is a change in the ratio of the members of a system, that is, a change in functions and formal elements, then evolution turns out to be a "change" of systems. These changes from epoch to epoch are either slower or abrupt in nature and do not imply a sudden and complete renewal and replacement of formal elements, but they imply a new function of these formal elements. Therefore, the very comparison of certain literary phenomena should be carried out according to functions, and not only according to forms. Completely dissimilar in appearance phenomena of different functional systems can be similar in function. and vice versa. The question is obscured here by the fact that each literary direction in a certain period, it looks for its strongholds in previous systems - what can be called "tradition".

So, perhaps, the functions of Pushkin's prose are closer to the functions of Tolstoy's prose than the functions of Pushkin's verse are closer to the functions of his imitators in the 1930s and Maikov.

Let me summarize: the study of the evolution of literature is possible only if one regards literature as a series, a system correlated with other series, systems conditioned by them. Consideration should go from the constructive function to the literary function, from literary to speech. It must elucidate the evolutionary interaction of functions and forms. Evolutionary study should go from the literary series to the closest correlated series, and not further, even if the main ones.

The dominant importance of the main social factors is not only not rejected by this, but must be clarified in full, precisely in the question of the evolution of literature, while the direct establishment of the "influence" of the main social factors replaces the study of the evolution of literature with the study of the modification of literary works, their deformation.

Young people in the new century will read less and less, do not make excuses. Young people now read a lot, and on their own, without pressure from the school and parents. Different genres and authors fall into the circle of interests of young readers, the book business industry makes it possible to learn more and more new names. Reading did not suffer from the development of new information technologies while reading is only rivaled by television. Reading over the years has become primarily entertainment, with detective stories and fantasy now among the most popular genres. This is what worries me the most: Russian tradition Fiction has long shaped life values and educated the younger generation. Libraries in such a situation should encourage the development of taste and critical thinking among young readers. Reading in our time is really prestigious!

1 .four. Logical analysis of concepts.

1.4.1. Interpretation and operationalization of concepts.

Key concepts:

3. Literary genres;

4. Youth.

Theoretical interpretation of key concepts:

1. Books - a collection of sheets of paper, parchment or other sheet material containing text and (or) illustrations transferred to them in any way, fastened along one edge and protected by a cover. Each side of a sheet in a book is called a page. Sometimes a book refers to a large section of a document, or literary work. A book recorded in electronic format is also called an e-book or electronic book.

2. Genre - a set of formal and content features of the work. Genres are formed by sets of conditions; many works use multiple genres by borrowing and combining these terms. Possible definitions of the concept of "genre" are sometimes limited to art and culture, especially literature, but there is a long history of use of this concept in rhetoric as well. In genre studies, the concept is not compared with the original meaning. Rather, all existing works reflect certain conditions, while participating in the creation of the definition of the concept of genre.

3. Literary genres: epic, drama, ode, elegy, story, story, novel, poem, poem.

Bylina is a heroic song of a narrative nature.

Drama - the main difference between drama and other literary genres is the purpose for the stage.

Ode is a solemn pathetic poem. In the V - IV centuries. BC. performed only with music, singing, dancing. AT Ancient Greece odes glorified sports competitions. AT Ancient Rome Horace separated the ode from the music. The great master of od was considered in the 16th-17th century in France by Malerbeau. At the same time, Lomonosov, Trediakovsky, Derzhavin were the best in the ode genre in Russia.

Elegy - a genre of lyrics, originated in the 7th century BC in ancient Greece.

A story is a small form of epic prose literature.

The story is the oldest genre of Russian literature.

The novel originated in the Romance languages in the ancient and middle ages, but had only some features of the modern novel.

A poem is a variety of subjects of this poetic genre.

A poem is a large form of the lyric-epic genre, a poetic work with a plot-narrative organization, a story or a novel in verse. The flowering of this genre is associated with romanticism. Poems were written by Byron, Shelley, Mickiewicz, Pushkin, Lermontov.

4. Youth is a specific socio-demographic physical group, characterized by a period of social adaptation, the formation of social maturity and psychological characteristics.

3. Analytical section.

1. Do young people read (in %):

Conclusion: young people now read a lot, and on their own. The circle of interests of young readers includes different genres and authors. So far, only television has competed with reading. Reading over the years has become primarily entertainment, with detective stories and fantasy now among the most popular genres. This is what worries me the most: after all, in the Russian tradition, fiction has long shaped life values and educated the younger generation.

2. The choice of literary genre, depending on age (in%):

Bylina	Drama	Oh yeah	Lyrics	Story	Tale	Novel	Poem	Poem
<18	0	14	7	0	7	0	36	14	22
18-20	1	17	2	4	13	17	26	13	5
20-23	0	32	0	17	0	17	17	0	17
23-25	0	0	0	0	50	50	0	0	0

Conclusion: the novel, which seems to be a whole, a genre developing within itself over the centuries, turns out to be not one, but variable, with material changing from literary system to system, with a changing method of introducing non-literary speech materials into literature, and the very features of the genre evolve. It is most preferred in young people under 18 years of age. Basically, young people aged 18 to 25 prefer: "story", "story". On this basis, we conclude that it is impossible to study isolated genres outside the signs of the genre system with which they correlate.

3. The choice of literary genre, depending on gender:

Conclusion: in the same way the most difficult, least investigated question is solved: about literary genres.

The fact is that prose and poetry are related to each other, there is a mutual function of prose and verse. The function of verse in a certain literary system was performed by the formal element of meter.

The table shows that young people love poetry, and girls love novels.

4. Most preferred places to read:

5. What are the most popular books for young people?

Conclusion: now such modern books as "Harry Potter", Coelho's books , Lukyanenko, Akunina, attract more and more young people, and well-known film adaptations only kindle this interest, foreign literature is also a success.

General conclusion.

During the study, many hypotheses were proven, some were refuted.

Based on the results, we can conclude that many students like to read, while others do not.

Most students read in a public place, on the way from the institute or to the institute, it turns out that in the subway and on buses.

The novel, which seems to be a whole, a genre developing within itself over the centuries, turns out to be not one, but variable, with material changing from literary system to system, with a changing method of introducing non-literary speech materials into literature, and the very features of the genre evolve.

Analytical section of the program

1.1. Key research question

What are the reasons for the low degree of religiosity of modern youth at this stage of development of society? What are the needs of young people in attending church, communicating with clergymen, reading religious literature? Why are young people now relegating knowledge of both modern religiosity and its history to the background? As we know, the process of solving this gap in the life of modern society is underway. The main issue of this study on religious topics is the question of the quantitative characteristics of the religiosity of young people.

Modern youth has somewhat different ideas about religiosity. Who is to blame for this and how to put forward the criteria for religiosity is a modern question.

1.2. Purpose of the study

Establish and study the opinions and attitudes of second-year students of the Luhansk State University of Internal Affairs. E.O. Didorenko (later LGUVD) to religiosity. Designate and derive specific understandings of the foundations of religiosity (observance of fasting, faith in God, under what conditions one can consider oneself religious).

1.3. Research objectives

1. To study the understanding of the religiosity of modern youth in general;

2. Study the needs of youth in attending church (if any);

3. To study the attitude of young people to religious sacraments:

Baptism;

Wedding;

fasting;

4. To study the criteria for the foundations of the religiosity of the majority;

5. To study the daily behavior of students on the basis of faith;

1.4. Object of study

Second-year students of the Lugansk University of Internal Affairs named after. E.O. Didorenko.

1.5. Subject of study

Fundamentals of religiosity of modern youth in general. Opinions and ideas about the religiosity of second-year students of the LGUVD.

Logical analysis of the subject of research

1.6.1. Selection of basic concepts

Based on the concept and purpose of this study, such concepts as religiosity and youth are subject to logical analysis.

1.6.2. Interpretation of basic concepts

a) religiosity- this is a characteristic of the consciousness and behavior of individuals, their groups and communities, who believe in the supernatural and worship it

b) youth- this is a socio-demographic group that is experiencing a period of formation of social maturity, entry into the world of adults, adaptation to it and its future renewal.

1.6.3. Operationalization of basic terms

Religiosity

1. the meaning of the foundations of faith:

Research hypotheses

1.7.1. Descriptive hypothesis

In modern society, the question of the religiosity of young people is very often raised. Now a certain part of the youth believes in God and attends church. These young people differ in their inner world from ordinary students who do not recognize religious holidays and do not attend church during all sacred services. As is known from the media, much attention is paid to religiosity. Religious disciplines were introduced in universities to increase the degree of religiosity of students.

1.7.2. Main hypothesis

Young people do not understand the very content of religiosity, do not strive to understand how a religious person differs from a non-religious one. Students deny religious sacraments that may be inherent in every student (baptism, communion, prayer, and others), for certain reasons: spending free time in another society, due to a lack of desire to learn the basics of religiosity, social circle, inability to independently understand the essence of the sacraments and their purpose.

It can be seen that not all students who talk about their faith in God really respect this. Faith in God is not just words, it is a whole string of signs confirming this, which, of course, are observed very little.

1.7.3. Additional hypothesis

An additional hypothesis is the assumption that after learning the selection criteria for religiosity, many students will think about whether they are clearly religious and observe it. Is faith in God the main factor for determining the religiosity of these students. Many students do not consider the basis for religiosity to be important.

Conclusion

From the data above, conclusions can be drawn and compared with hypotheses.

Currently, many members of Ukrainian society are experiencing certain difficulties associated with the formulation of their identity. Sociological studies show that for a significant part of the respondents, referring to the group "Orthodox" does not mean a high level of churching, but rather serves as an indicator of referring to a certain socio-cultural tradition.

This is largely due to the fact that scientific knowledge based on positivism, at a certain historical stage, quite clearly separated itself from religious knowledge, which was quite logical for the sphere of some natural sciences at that time.

A significant methodological problem in the framework of sociological research today is the typology of religiosity, since there are different approaches to the issue of subjectivity and objectivity of the criteria for religious identification. There are certain contradictions between the religious self-identification of the respondents and different interpretations of the results of quantitative research.

Summing up, it should be said that our research has greatly expanded our worldview in relation to the religiosity of our students and also made it clear the importance of our research in the field of Orthodoxy.
