Introduction. The paper presents the results of a study of protest trends in modern university culture. Basing on the analysis of the value reasons for the emergence of protest behavior of students, the authors define the essence of cultural protest as a collective declaration and as an interpretation of personal freedom in the context of a conservative university culture. It also examines the specific motives of cultural protest. The authors have analyzed an array of scientific studies which offer definitions that determine not only the value connotation of such phenomenon as "cultural protest" but also the degree of its constructive and destructive influence on university culture. Research methodology and technique. The methodological basis of the study was a culturological approach, the priority of which is explained by the fact that the values and norms of culture, spiritual and moral traditions of humane education are oriented towards the human personality, and the axiological approach, which makes it possible to determine the composition and hierarchy of values that determine the content of the interaction of a person with the world and people, and to reveal the influence of values on personal development. Within the framework of these methodological foundations, the authors used the methods of theoretical (interdisciplinary analysis of philosophical, cultural, pedagogical, psychological and sociological literature) and empirical (participant observation, analytical interview, written questionnaire) research. Research results. The scientific research involved 250 students of the Orenburg State University. Applying empirical methods, the authors proceeded from the assumption that modern young people who are in the student period are at a special stage of their spiritual life which is associated with finding oneself in the world, becoming involved with it, developing their own worldview, defining identity and uniqueness. Here at this stage they are able to determine the individual way of life, to defend the value-semantic position, without which the realization of the act of life creation is impossible. Conclusion. The problem of cultural protest is relevant both in theoretical and practical terms, since the security of the culture of interaction in the institutionally united university community depends on the degree of its development.

The article is devoted to the problem of formation of creative abilities and cognitive interests of students. The main directions of development of the creative person according to the social needs of the present are considered. It is noted that creative activity becomes a form of knowledge of the material-objective world; identifies personality possibilities, new ways of one’s personal development. Therefore, the problem of developing the creative abilities of students in the course of educational and cognitive activity is of an exceptional relevance. The author believes that influencing the organization of creative activity is possible only under certain conditions, in particular: to conduct classes in an atmosphere of mutual understanding and co-creation, perceiving each student as a person; to give preference to the dialogical form of conducting classes, when students have an opportunity: to think independently, to make suggestions, to defend their own point of view, presenting their own arguments; it is advisable to create situations of choice at classes and to enable students to carry it out. The author notes that the observance of certain organizational and methodological conditions can significantly contribute to the development of creative potential of students, namely: the creative vision of the world through the systematic organization of work with students; development of creative values through the proper level of teacher's teaching skills; deepening the perception of the world picture through the integration of various types of students’ creativity, works of art and their figurative reproduction in their own creative activity; individual peculiarities of perception and emotional attitude through the use of the educational potential of the family, organization of creative activity. When performing creative tasks the individual characteristics of students to select the material of the appropriate level of complexity must be taken into account. The article examines the examples of students' creativity during the European Cultures Festival, debates and clubs on the basis of the Kryvyi Rih National University.

Nietzsche criticized the tradition of Western metaphysics (based on the principle of representation, the duality of subject and object of representation, the metaphysics of presence as Derrida puts it) and its language use. In place of this he presents a world view he calls Dionysian: it is a possibility of cognition in which the individual disappears and the tragic subject is merged with archaic substance in an experience that eliminates the dualism of appearance and reality. Nietzsche claims there is a basic tension between life and cognition in Western metaphysics, but this is a symptom of the ascetic ideal which manifests itself in illness and in wanting nothing. Instead the ascetic ideal a new kind of sensibility is necessary which affirms life and gives rise to a new view of the world and to new values. Deleuze claims Nietzsche’s philosophy has three basic tenets: evaluation, affirmation, and the superman as a new way of life. He adds that “Nietzsche attributes such importance to art because art has already achieved the whole program.” The paper shows that Nietzsche’s aesthetics is a creative aesthetic, a selective ontology based on the principle of double affirmation. The paper argues that Dionysus is the one who returns to Nietzsche eternally, and together with him haunts the idea of creative aesthetics, a key element of the idea of eternal return.

Meyer (1975) has hypothesized that Christians might have “a peculiar organization of neurons” in their right cerebral hemispheres which reflects their approach to the world and which is relevant to the perception and integration of their experience (p. 286). This hypothesis was evaluated employing 20 Christians and 24 non-Christians who were selected by a series of criteria designed to rule out doubtful cases. Each individual took an extensive battery of neuropsychological tests known to be sensitive to a wide range of brain functions. The results showed no differences whatever between the groups. Interpretation of the data recognized the lack of a one-to-one correlation between the spiritual and physical aspects of the individual and emphasized the importance of empirical methods in the integration of psychology and theology.

Materials science has come of age. The need now exists to establish programs in education and research in materials science at colleges and universities throughout the world. It is not realistic to expect that every university will receive funds to found entirely new programs. However, the infrastructure for materials science already exists at most universities that have offered traditional studies in the natural sciences. It is the purpose of this article to provide ideas and suggestions for initiating new academic programs in materials science by using existing resources. The major prerequisite for success is a faculty and staff who are willing and able to adapt to a rapidly advancing scientific environment and who have the individual initiative to seize and profit from the many new opportunities in materials science. This article reports an experiment in progress at Bowling Green State University, Ohio which uses the strengths of the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Physics and Technology to develop a new program in materials science. I hope it will serve as a model for other universities.

У статті автор акцентує увагу на орієнтирах сучасної дошкільної та початкової освіти на особистіс-ний розвиток дитини, формування у неї свідомого, ціннісного ставлення до навколишнього середови-ща, забезпечення умов для її духовного зростання. Визначено поняття «світосприйняття» як складника багаторівневої структури світогляду особистості. Розглянуто наукові підходи до розуміння зазначено-го поняття, що визначає риси дитячого світосприйняття. Розкрито підходи до розуміння зазначеного поняття з точки зору різних наук. Світосприйняття як педагогічна категорія за своєю суттю є інте-гративною, оскільки є засобом опису й осмислення особистісних, соціальних, культурно-історичних і власне освітніх феноменів, багаторівневою структурою, що відображає індивідуальне і соціально- типологічне ставлення до зовнішнього і внутрішнього світу людини у варіативності форм і способів прояву цього відношення.Зазначено, що світосприйняття як цілісний процес пізнання й осмислення навколишнього світу дитиною включає різноманітні етапи, періоди, напрями та зумовлене психічним станом особисто-сті та характером її життєдіяльності. З’ясовано, що ступінь сприйняття дітьми однакових природних об’єктів чи явищ відповідає їхньому психічному стану, розвитку інтелекту, сформованим моральним і етичним нормам поведінки та діяльності в соціумі, метою якої є взаємодія особистості з навколиш-нім середовищем. Встановлено, що сприйняття навколишнього середовища як цілісності є важливим, оскільки сприяє усвідомленню дитиною його функціональної структури, яка за своїми законами впо-рядковує розмаїття явищ чи об’єктів. Визначено поняття «світогляд» та здійснено його ґрунтовний аналіз, оскільки світосприйняття є складником його рівневої структури: емоційно-чуттєвої (світовід-чуття), усвідомлено-чуттєвої (світосприйняття), свідомої (світорозуміння), самосвідомої (світогляд як такий). Термін «світогляд» пояснено як систему поглядів на дійсність, яка визначає загальну спрямо-ваність діяльності і поведінки людини та є найвищим синтезом знань, практичного досвіду та емоцій-них оцінок. З’ясовано, що основи світогляду закладаються практично з моменту народження людини, а засвоєні нею моральні норми, ідеали, принципи, правила поведінки зводяться у цілісну систему, яка дає їй змогу не лише зрозуміти навколишній світ, а й відшукати своє місце в ньому, сформувати своє ставлення до нього та зміст свого життя. Зроблено висновок, що у дітей 5–8 років ще не сформовані фундаментальні основи світогляду, тому метою виховання особистості є формування основ його струк-турних компонентів, зокрема, світосприйняття. In the article the author focuses on the guidelines of modern preschool and primary education on the personal development of the child, the formation of a conscious, valuable attitude to the environment, providing conditions for its spiritual growth. The concept of “worldview” is defined as a component of the multilevel structure of the worldview of the individual. Scientific approaches to understanding this concept, defining the features of children’s worldview are considered. Approaches to understanding this concept from the point of view of various sciences are revealed. World perception as a pedagogical category is essentially integrative, as it is a means of describing and understanding personal, social, cultural, historical and educational phenomena, a multilevel structure that reflects the individual and socio-typological attitude to the external and internal world of man in the variability of forms and ways of manifestation in this regard.It is noted that the world perception as a holistic process of cognition and understanding of the world around the child includes various stages, periods, directions and due to the mental state of the individual and the nature of his life. It was found that the degree of children’s perception of the same natural objects or phenomena corresponds to their mental state, intellectual development, formed moral and ethical norms of behavior and activities in society, the purpose of which is the interaction of the individual with the environment. It is established that the perception of the environment as a whole is important because it promotes the child’s awareness of its functional structure, which according to its laws regulates the diversity of phenomena or objects. The concept of “worldview” is defined and its thorough analysis is carried out, as world perception is a component of its level structure: emotional-sensory (world perception), conscious-sensual (world perception), conscious (worldview), self-conscious (worldview as such). The term “worldview” is explained as a system of views on reality, which determines the general direction of human activity and behavior and is the highest synthesis of knowledge, practical experience and emotional assessments. It is found that the foundations of the worldview are laid almost from the moment of a person’s birth, and the moral norms, ideals, principles, rules of behavior mastered by her are reduced to a holistic system that allows her not only to understand the world, but also to find his place in it, her attitude to it and the meaning of her live. It is concluded that children 5–8 years have not yet formed the fundamental foundations of worldview, so the purpose of educating the individual is to form the foundations of its structural components, in particular, worldview.

The purpose of this article is to elicit and analyze the main interpretative key used by the German exegete Gerhard Lohfink in his reading of the Sermon on the Mount. It does not attempt, however, tracing in detail the scholar's interpretation of the individual passages within that biblical text. In Lohfink’s understanding, the Sermon on the Mount is not addressed directly to all people but only to those who become disciples of Jesus, and who allow themselves to be gathered as the new Israel. By living according to the message of the Sermon on the Mount, communities of disciples become a light to the world, creating a “contrast society” and thereby demonstrating to the world that human relationships can be shaped in new ways. It is only through this mediation of Christian communities that the world at large can discover the message of the Sermon on the Mount which, in the end, is not a set of abstract moral norms, but rather an indication of the way of life appropriate for the social sphere in which God reigns.

Confronting with the educational emergences defined— in the white paper presented in 1995 by the European commission with the title “Teaching and Learning. Towards a Society of Knowledge”—the Commission identifies three main factors of upheaval: information society, internationalization and the world market, scientific and technological knowledge. These factors involve a modification of the systems of knowledge and work, and, as a consequence, also of educational politics which must promote a personal development of citizens through the development of the necessary competences in dealing with these factors. The consequences that emerge are the reported in the next section. First of all, the society of knowledge is linked with a condition of uncertainty and risk of social exclusion, which determines a great disorientation for the individual. The individua is exposed to infinite cognitive potentialities on one side, but also to a cognitive weakening on the other side. Among these risks, the first is a disorganized and confused fruition of the knowledge resources offered by the symbolic world in which the individual is plunged in. He/she is irreparably depressed when plunged in an infinite net of knowledge which the individual can not reach in a critical way, being also bombarded by pervasive—usually persuasive—information of mass-media pushing him/her toward homologation.

The article is devoted to the definition of stylistic guidelines of cultural creation as a dominant of the humanitarian integrity of Ukrainian culture. Ukrainian Baroque is defined as the creative epicentre of cultural creativity of the twentieth century. Ukrainian culture has always faced the choice of solving the cultural situation and way of life, which appeals to the individual, who in turn is the bearer of responsibility, the bearer of humanitarian security, the opportunity to be and not to be, to carry and not to carry the world. Ukrainian history has shown all these possibilities. Worldview matrices, possibilities of typological comprehension of cultural creativity as an ecosystem, due to which the integrity of man as the unity of man and nature, man and culture, man and absolute, tradition and creativity are formed, are analyzed.

Domestic violence with its various manifestations and forms has captured the attention of the scientific and professional public, especially in the last few decades. The consequences it causes not only affect the individual and his personal development, but also have multiple negative implications for the narrower and wider social environment and society as a whole. Most often, women and children are victims of domestic violence, and extensive measures and a multidisciplinary approach are being taken around the world in order to prevent domestic violence and minimize the consequences. The aim of this paper is to point out the etiology and forms of domestic violence with special emphasis on violence against women and children. A phenomenon with serious social consequences that causes traumatic effects on the normal and harmonious development of children is child abuse, which manifests itself in two forms: abuse and neglect. Through the review and results of numerous studies and foreign professional literature, we will point out the prevalence of the phenomenon. In the last part of the paper, we will point out the negative implications of abuse and violence on the mental and physical integrity of the victim, primarily women and children.
