The purpose of the study presented in the article is a theoretical analysis of socio-political and civic activity of young people in the context of processes of individualization and massification as contradictory but interdependent trends in the development of modern society. The relevance of the study is supported by the need for scientific understanding of conditions under which the formation of social and political subjectivity of young people and their choice of these types of activity take place. We presented data of the theoretical analysis of the “social activity” concept with a particular focus on its psychological structure, namely on the cognitive, emotional, motivational, reflexive, volitional and behavioral (activity) components. We substantively described determinants of the socio-political and civic activity of young people, to which we attributed internal psychological (consciousness and self-awareness of the individual, interests and motivation) and external socio-political factors (internal and external political, socio-cultural, informational and communicative context of life). It is shown that the study of modern young people’s activity presupposes inclusion of the subject field of the parameters of personal and social responsibility and the conscious choice of an individual between passionarity and desubjectivity into the scientific analysis. The applied aspect of the problem under study can be used as a tool for development of socially active young people who are focused on constructive interaction with the state, business, and society as a whole.

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

В статье рассматривается социальная активность молодежи в контексте смысловых представлений студентов вузов. На основании материалов регионального эмпирического исследования были проанализированы смыслы, которыми наделяется активность и которые имеют высокую значимость в саморегуляции общественно направленной и индивидуализированной активности студентов. Выявлено, что смысл социальной активности в восприятии вузовской молодежи соотносится с приоритетами органов исполнительной власти, занимающихся реализацией молодежной политики; определена зависимость между частотой участия студентов в практиках социальной активности и готовностью воспринимать данную деятельность посредством институционально организованных форм. Определены доминирующие мировоззренческие установки среди вузовской молодежи и описана их связь с мотивацией социальной активности в исследуемой группе. Выявлено противоречие между смысловым представлением о социальной активности и проявляемой деятельностью: образ определяется студентами через доминирование альтруистических ценностей, а в основе реальной активности молодых людей находятся гедонистические и инструментальные ценности. The article attempts to analyze the social activity of youth in the context of semantic representations of university students. Based on the materials of a regional empirical study, the meanings of activity are analyzed, as well as those meanings that are significant in the self-regulation of socially directed and individualized activity of students. The research shows that the meaning of social activity in the perception of university youth correlates with the priorities of executive authorities involved in the implementation of youth policy; the dependence between the frequency of students' participation in social activity practices and the willingness to perceive this activity through institutionally organized forms is determined. The dominant ideological attitudes among university youth are analyzed and their connection with the motivation of social activity is described. The contradiction between the semantic idea of social activity and the activity manifested is revealed: the students determine this activity basing on the altruistic values, but in practice, hedonistic and instrumental values are at the heart of the activities of young people.

The Impact

Social networks are considered an ontological attribute of the existence of a modern person. The modern ideas describe an important role of the system of social networks in socialization and adaptation of a person, motivation to the social activity, assistance and support in difficult life situations. The studies of criminals’ social networks show their significance in motivation to crime, formation of criminal ideology. Besides, it is proved that the quality of social networks impacts the prevention and suppression of crimes among teenagers and young people. However, the attitudes of young people towards the social environment and their relationship to it are still not properly studied. Understanding it will allow explaining the impact of the social environment on the criminalization and social rehabilitation of young people. Objective of the research: to study the parameters of social networks of delinquent young people including the comparison with the similar parameters of law-abiding young people. Methods. The data collection method is a questionnaire that describes the parameters of social networks, i.e. volume, stability, homogeneity, subordination, and referentiality. The method of results processing is descriptive statistics and also a non-parametric analogue of the one-way ANOVA test (Kruskal-Wallis test). The research sample was made up of 220 people of 18-27 years old, 73.5% of respondents were men; among the participants in the research, 115 people have been convicted of committing a crime, 105 people are law-abiding and do not have any criminal record. Results and novelty: New data were obtained about the specific character of social networks of delinquent young people with regard to the small volume of relations, homogeneity of participants, low refenetiality of the social environment; the perspectives of the study of the social networks in the conditions of the social regulation of interaction were determined taking into account the sex and social and cultural specific character.

Digital revolution led to severe society modifications, including social structure transformation, primarily due to virtual reality existing simultaneously with reality. Despite that, one of the reasons of this transformation is post-modernism, that includes pluralism as well. As a result, individualized consciousness appears and formation of an increasingly heterogeneous society, the “minority society” begins. On the basis of these minority groups, relatively closed and self-sufficient communities can be created, i.e. neotribalism (according to L. Ionin). The variability of the social environment forms a new character of social inequality, which becomes “fluid”, uncertain, difficult to identify. The article considers new directions for studying social stratification, social inequality and social mobility, as well as issues of identity transformation in a changing society: digitalization makes the social structure dynamic, identity boundaries become fragile and unstable. The results of a sociological study of the social activity of young people on the Internet are described and analyzed. The primary sociological data features certain rationality of young people in evaluating the objectivity of information Internet resources, their ability to determine “discourse, that is, argumentation” in favor of certain forms of using the Internet’s capabilities. It is interesting to note that a significant part of the respondents admits the possibility of information distortion in social networks, but at the same time remains their regular participants. Thus, there is a need for a more serious social diagnosis of the problems of modern digital (network) society.

This article is devoted to the analysis of socio-psychological problems of modern society. Modern society in this article is interpreted as transitive-turbulent, which is associated with the transition stage in the era of postmodernism. The work is aimed at finding methodological foundations for analyzing the features of modern society, as well as analyzing the problems associated with the new cultural ethics of a modern dehumanized society. The new realities associated with instability, multivariability and uncertainty of the future have given rise to many personal and socio-psychological problems. In new realities, people are looking for ways to cope with them. The article shows that the biggest troubles in these conditions are faced by teenagers and young people, for whom the most important age task is the formation of personal identity in conditions of multifactorial and uncertain future and blurring moral norms. In connection with these circumstances, education has an extremely difficult task associated with human formation in new socio-cultural conditions. The main purpose of this article is to reveal, identify and analyze the psychological problems associated with changing the social behavior of both individuals and various groups in a transitive-turbulent society.
