The Social

Youth is a social group reproducing both positive experience and negative trends in social transformations. Modern society, in turn, is characterized by complex, contradictory and multidirectional trends. A high proportion of risk and uncertainty gives rise to the social space collapse phenomenon and the of the digital environment expansion up to the formation of the digital reality, leading to the fact that virtual practices are formed alongside real behavioral strategies. The growing digitization and dating of the living space of a modern person actualizes the problem of young people staying in it and requires the analysis of the factors characterizing the life of young people, liminality and singularity being worth noting, first of all. The specific living conditions determine the young people’s consciousness characteristics, their social qualities transition from one into another, mutually complement each other and condition their social activity in the course of development. The latter, filling everyday life as much as possible, form its characteristic ways, channels and individuals’ and social groups’ self-presentation mechanisms.

Montessori Method

Freedom, autonomy and responsibility are the ends of every educational process, especially in the modern society: globalized, rapid, in transformation; society in which each one of us is called to make numerous choices. Therefore, it is urgent to educate to choose and educate to the choice, so that young people can emancipate themselves from possible conditionings. To this end, the Montessori method represents a privileged way: child is free to choose his own activity and learns "to do by himself" soon; the teacher prepares the environment and the materials that allow the student to satisfy the educational needs of each period of inner development. Then, Montessori gives importance to adolescence because it is during this period that grows the social man. Consequently, it is important to reform the secondary school in order to acquire the autonomy that each student will apply to the subsequent school grades and to all areas of life

On the basis of the archetypic analysis of development trends of a conflictological paradigm the author’s model of minimization of conflict potential in modern society is offered. Institutional construction is the basis for model that is harmonized with a factor of societal identity.It is noted that the problems of social conflicts, according to data from monitor- ing studies of the Ukrainian school of archetype, are increasingly shifted into the sphere of interpersonal relations. It is stimulated by the progression in society of so-called self-sufficient personalities, the “subjectification” of the social space, and at the same time narrowing down to the solution of entirely specific situations in which there is a collision of the interests of two or more parties.Instead, in order to find the optimal solution for resolving the conflict, it is necessary to have interdisciplinary knowledge, in particular understanding of the deep nature of such conflicts. Collision of points of view, thoughts, positions — a very frequent phenomenon of modern social life. In order to develop the correct line of behavior in various conflict situations, it is important to adequately under- stand the nature of the emergence of the modern conflict and the mechanisms for resolving them in substance. Knowledge of conflict nature enriches the culture of communication and makes human life and social groups not only more calm, but also creates conditions for constructive development. It is proved that in modern life one can not but agree with the statement that an individual carries first re- sponsibility for his own life and only then for the life of the social groups to which he belongs. And while making decisions within the framework of modern mecha- nisms (consensus), the properties of human psychology such as extroversion, emo- tionality, irrationality, intuition, externality, and executive ability will not at least contribute to such a task.That is why in the author’s research attracted attention to the archetypal na- ture of the conflict — the primitive images, ideas, feelings inherent in man as a bearer of the collective unconscious.

ABSTRACTIn Senegal, neighbourhood football teams are more popular than teams in the national football league. The so-called navétanes teams were first created in the 1950s. Since the early 1970s, they have competed in local, regional and national neighbourhood championships. This article considers the history of these clubs and their championships by focusing on the city of Dakar and its fast-growing suburbs, Pikine and Guédiawaye. Research on the navétanes allows an exploration of the social and cultural history of the neighbourhoods from the actor-centred perspective of urban youth. The history of the navétanes reflects the complex interrelations between young people, the city and the state. The performative act of football – on and beyond the pitch, by players, fans and organizers – constitutes the neighbourhood as a social space in a context where the state fails to provide sufficient infrastructure and is often contested. The navétanes clubs and championships demonstrate how young people have experienced and imagined their neighbourhoods in different local-level ways, while at the same time interconnecting them with other social spaces, such as the ‘city’, the ‘nation’ and ‘the world’.

Рассматриваются понятия личного бренда, профессиональной идентичности, самоконструирования и трансляции образа себя в социальной сети. Проведён сравнительный анализ самопрезентации и построения блогерами личного бренда за рубежом и в России. Использован метод контент-анализа самопрезентации личного бренда бьюти- и фэшн-блогеров социальной сети Instagrаm, методологическая основа теории интеракционизма И. Гоффмана [2]. Было выявлено: для конструирования и укрепления образа «я» в представление «других» блогеры используют визуальные средства (фото/видео), а для расширения социальных взаимодействий блогеры используют технические возможности: Instagram-хэштеги, отметки пользователей и брендов. Исследование направлено на изучение личного бренда, профессиональной идентичности блогеров как новой профессиональной группы современного общества, а также позволяет сравнить способы самопрезентации личных брендов зарубежных и российских блогеров. The article discusses the concepts of personal brand, professional identity, self-construction and translation of self-image in a social network. The aim of the study is a comparative analysis of self-presentation and the creation by bloggers of a personal brand abroad and in Russia. The method of content analysis of self-presentation of the personal brand of beauty and fashion bloggers of the social network Instagram was used, the methodological basis of I. Hoffman's theory of interactionism [2]. As a result, it was revealed that bloggers use visual means (photos / videos) to design and strengthen the image of «I» in the representation of «others», and to expand social interactions, they use the technical capabilities of Instagram - hashtags, user and brand marks. This study fills the gaps in the study of personal brand, professional identity of bloggers as a new professional group of modern society, and also allows to compare the ways of personal presentation of personal brand of foreign and Russian bloggers.

Need of new reading of sociological concepts of society of risk, network society, complex society and different scientific views on modern society in relation to process of an institutionalization of digital sociology as special sociological theory, subject matter and special methodology of knowledge of digital reality has been substantiated. Methodological approaches to use of the principles, the ideas and categories of various schools of sciences, groups of erudite and certain representatives of sociological science to development of the conceptual and categorial device, methodical potential and tools of digital sociology have been adduced. Special attention has been paid to the consideration of the concept of social network of the American sociologist Richard Mark Emerson in the context of digitalization. From positions of the concept of Richard Mark Emerson emergence of new dependences of users of Internet network on special category of subjects socially of interaction – moderators, administrators, owners of resources, the controlling public authorities and also manipulators of people’s attention has been explained; the specific motivation, which reveals itself in such phenomena as hypertrophied aspiration to the self-presentation (“selfie”, etc.); representation of the distorted virtual image for communications, hyperactivity in the appeal to various resources (“Internet surfing”) and also prevalence of motivators and estimated means – anonymous comments, “likes”, posts, reposts, symbolical encouragement and awards. Besides that, the behavior of Internet users has been considered in the context of the theory of the rational choice of the American sociologist James S. Coleman: at all risks of virtual interaction, the choice for integration of social communications into digital space, use of Internet resources for satisfaction of  personal and group needs brings more vital benefits for people, than folding of social activity in the Internet network.

In the digital age of a transitive society, interaction between people is undergoing significant changes. Many researchers talk about the virtualization of modern society, in which visual communication comes to the fore. However, despite the prevalence of the above-mentioned processes, questions remain about strategies for presenting themselves to society using social networks, and how people position themselves when publicly presenting themselves in an online environment. As part of the empirical study, the object was 30 boys and 30 girls, representatives of modern youth who actively use social networks. The age of the subjects is from 14 to 17 years. We used four test methods: the "Who am I" Method of Kuhn and McPortland; the "Scale of self-presentation tactics" by S.J. Li in the adaptation of Pikuleva O.A.; "Scale of perfectionist self-presentation" By P. Hewitt in the adaptation of Zolotareva A.A.; "Test of self-confidence" by V.G. Romek. The theoretical and practical significance of the research lies in the development of ideas about the specifics of self-presentation of modern youth who actively use social networks. The results of the study can be used in the practice of family and individual counseling of parents and adolescents, as well as in teachers and psychologists of various educational institutions.
