In the article the author considers the issue that currently mentality is influenced primarily by economic, social, cultural, religious, political factors. The most important factor affecting the mentality, behavior, character of an individual, social group is religion. Today in the world the mental traits of any social group, especially youth, are more susceptible to change, since the historical development of the mentality of young people is more dynamic than the development of the mentality of other demographic groups, as it is more susceptible to innovation and innovation. Most young Russians in all regions of our multi-confessional country perceive themselves as believers. The difference in religious beliefs contributes to the separation of the youth social group. To prevent religious conflicts, it is important to form a tolerant attitude of representatives of different faiths to each other. It is indicated that the so-called imaginary religiosity appeared, when only external religiosity is presented without a deep internal commitment to dogma. These processes are most clearly visible among young people. The confessional identification of the young generation of Russians in most cases is determined purely ethnically. Often young people determine their religion not by deep convictions, but by a formal-ethnic principle. It is emphasized that at present in Russian society there are not enough cultural and moral prerequisites for the revival of genuine religious spirituality, and the difference in religious beliefs contributes to the separation of the youth environment.

Presented is analysis of results of sociological research of reproductive attitudes of young people in modern Russian society. The article states, that they are gradually transforming from traditional to adaptive ones. Reproductive attitudes are regulated partly by common norms and values and partly by personal reproductive views. However, they are changing. In the structure of life values of modern youth, children were ranked on the 3rd place in the hierarchy of importance (after health, family). While having a child is still dominant attitude, instrumental orientation to the child is strengthened. Only 18% of young people traditionally see the joy of life in children to some extent; 47% — categorically reject traditional attitudes to childhood as a guarantee of personal and family happiness; 14% — share liberal tolerant values of individualism in their reproductive attitudes. The modern young generation is characterized by an orientation towards having few children. This is manifested in a decrease in the orientation to have two children and an increase in the orientation to have only one child, or to be childfree. From one hand, that indicates the growing value of children themselves, from other hand that shows a reduction of having children among young people. A significant degree of actual distancing of reproductive behavior attitudes from traditional values and practices in this sphere of life, their individualization and rationalization are revealed. Young people who would like to have 2 or 3 children has only one especially among younger groups when their life strategy is more orientated on study, professional self-development and achievement economical comfort life. According to youth opinion the birth of a child brings more difficulties to life than positive changes, which provokes rationalism and pragmatism of individual reproductive attitudes of the younger generation. Unwillingness to have children contributes to the growth of contraceptive culture. Although, the development of contraceptive attitudes related to the reproductive sphere is slow, that provokes the problem of abortions or “accidental” “unwanted” children. Distribution of methods of making decisions about the birth of children and their number, as well as responsibility for the onset of pregnancy have already begun to acquire the character of asymmetry, shifted towards the woman.

Disability as a social problem is one of the most pressing phenomena of modern Russian society. The article analyzes young disabled people as a specific social group and the problems they face in their lives. Young disabled people are quite an active social group, they participate in youth activities, reveal their talents. But because of the barriers in the environment, they cannot fully realize themselves. A study has been carried out showing the problems of young people with disabilities that need to be addressed immediately. Problems such as access to health services and medicines, employment problems, lack of equipment and lack of barrier-free environment, education and information accessibility have been identified.

The article presents an empirical analysis of social expectations and attitudes of the modern young generation using the example of St. Petersburg. The study of this phenomenon is based on three studies conducted under the author’s supervision in 1996, 2011 and 2019. The article is based on data from the 2019 study — 153 people. (Saint Petersburg, age group 18–29 years, quota sample by gender, all respondents are of Russian nationality). The questionnaire was compiled using the author’s methods, in particular, the method of symbolic associations with subsequent content analysis of verbal constructs. In the body of the article, the dynamics of changes in the social attitudes of young people is demonstrated based on empirical research data. The change affected the perception of the basic concepts of national identity, such as “Russia”, the “Russian state” and “Russian power”. While there is almost no dynamics in the attitude to Russia as a Homeland, there are significant changes in the opinions towards the state and power. In relation to the government, there was an increase in protest moods, which was found during the content analysis of symbolic associations in the 2019 study compared to the 1996 and 2011 studies. In the historical consciousness of young people there is a positive dynamic of ideas about the pre-revolutionary and Soviet period against the background of the lack of dynamics of ideas about modern Russian society. When comparing “Soviet society” and “modern society”, changes in symbolic associations were recorded in the direction of increasing the number of associations related to human relationships and reducing the number of political associations. The article presents empirical data on the content of the national idea expressed by young people. Illustrative material for the article includes tables and histograms.

Youth is a dynamically developing social group that actively participates in the reproduction process of the social and professional structure of society. The complication of production processes and rapid scientific and technological progress increase the importance of this social group in Russian society. This scientific article attempts to study the level of implementation of career guidance in the system of educational work of an educational institution of secondary professional level. Using a system-synergetic approach and various methods of scientific research, the authors revealed not only the state of the problem under consideration but also determined the relevance of such research in contemporary conditions. Based on the obtained data, a theoretical universal model of educational work has been developed, which assumes the formation of value orientations among young people in the course of its implementation. The student professional development model concerning the educational activities of the College consists of three interrelated units: target, substantive-operational, and evaluation- performance blocks. The model provides self-development of the individual through the cardinal renewal of all the above-mentioned components, and the formation of general cultural competencies. The main advantage of the created model is the development of complete professionalism through the implementation of career growth mechanisms in students, as well as the orientation of young people to actively search for innovative conditions for professional self-actualization and civic-mindedness.

This essay discusses based on Qur’anic value and character education. In gobalization era, it has great impact on young behaviour change such as fighting, free sex, drug and other delinquencies. The occurred result is serious enough and it cannot be assumed just as a simple matter again, mainly that the subjects and the victim are young people whose have professions as students. The fact indicates that education world has to give an important role toward preventing national moral decadency in the effort of preparing the better future young generation. In this regard, we are aware that the education goal, basically, is to build better morality of human being or in another term is to “humanize the human being”. An idea regarding the significance of character education was appeared as a given solution in answering the morality problem in Indonesian education world. Character education is part of value education. That why, looking for the character education concept has been very urgent in the effort of preparing excellent, faithful, professional and personalized leaner as being asked by the education goal. The essence of characterized behavior actually is the psychological totality form which includes the whole human individual potency of cognitive, affective and psycho-motoric aspects, and also socio-cultural totality function in the context of interaction with God, him or herself, other human beings and the environment in his or her long life. Furthermore, in Qur’an’s teaching, the figure of the Messenger Peace be upon him (PBUH) is viewed as “the model human being”. In this context, the concept of Qur’anic charactereducation can be found through three moral dimensions that should be actualized in human being personality. They are the morality toward Allah (spiritual quotient/ intelligence), the morality toward our self (emotional quotient) and the morality toward Allah’s creatures, human being and environment (social quotient). Then, school should make the Holy Qur’an as the foundation of character education’s implementation whereas the implementation form in the school can be developed through intra-curricular, extra-curricular or personality and school culture development.
