The article presents the results of the study of the structure of the basic values of the Belarusian society using the method of constructing functional-oriented clusters of basic values by N. I. Lapin. The values that ensure the integration of the population of Belarus as a whole, as well as mediate the inclusion of the individual in the life-supporting, power-political and socio-cultural structures of society, were identified. The analysis of the degree of respondents’ support for basic values, grouped on additional grounds: according to their belonging to terminal (values-goals) or instrumental (values-means) values, and in accordance with cultural types of values (traditional, modern, universal values). It is revealed that the stable integrating core of the basic values of the Belarusian society are the values of human life and order. The recognition of the value and inviolability of human life occupies a dominant position in the hierarchy of basic values of Belarusians. The high level of support for the value of order indicates the great importance for the Belarusian society of stability and the organisation of social relations based on compliance with established laws and norms. However, the means of achievement have changed due to the increased importance of moral choice, which is expressed in the ability to help other people in need, even to the detriment of themselves, and the instrumental value of power, which is manifested in the desire to influence other people. A comparative analysis by year shows that in 2020 there was a serious increase in the importance of the universal group of values due to the decline in the demand for traditional and modern values. As in 2017, terminal values are more significant than instrumental values. Among the values-goals, the greatest support of the population in 2020 is human life, order and freedom; among the values-means – sacrifice and power. In order to study the variability of the value structure, a comparative study of the basic values of different age groups of the population was carried out. The intergenerational axiological analysis showed that in all age groups the integrating components are human life and order. At the same time, in the youth cohort, svoboda also entered the integrating core.

Показано, что высокий уровень физической подготовленности студентов обеспечит их способность к качественному выполнению будущей трудовой деятельности. Для оценки уровня физической подготовленности студентов в рамках их физического воспитания в вузе возможно использовать нормативы комплекса «Готов к труду и обороне» (ГТО) как универсального оценочного механизма, позволяющего выделять наиболее физически развитых представителей данного поколения. С этой целью определено соответствие уровня физической подготовленности современных студентов не физкультурных специальностей с нормами комплекса ГТО. Выявлены пути совершенствования физической подготовки студентов в условиях современного вуза. Материалом для исследования послужили теоретические и эмпирические данные, полученные на основе использования методов теоретического анализа специальной литературы и передового педагогического опыта, педагогического эксперимента, контрольных испытаний, математико-статистических методов обработки и анализа данных. Результаты исследования подтверждают, что в настоящее время уровень физической подготовленности студентов не всегда соответствует требованиям норм ГТО. Данный факт был доказан экспериментально на базе Марийского государственного университета. Требуется дополнительная работа по физической подготовке студентов. С этой целью сформулированы методические рекомендации по совершенствованию физической подготовки студентов в соответствии с нормами ГТО. Теоретически обоснована и эмпирически доказана целесообразность использования нормативов ГТО в качестве системы оценивания физической подготовленности студентов. Сформулированы методические рекомендации по повышению уровня физической подготовленности студентов в соответствии с нормативами комплекса ГТО. The importance of physical culture and sports in human life, associated with maintaining the health of the nation as a whole and ensuring individual health and working capacity of the individual in particular, is realized in the form of physical education carried out in educational institutions, including universities. A high level of physical fitness of students will ensure their ability to perform high-quality future work activities. In order to assess the level of physical fitness of students within the framework of their physical education at the university, it is possible to use the standards of the GTO complex as a universal evaluation mechanism that allows identifying the most physically developed representatives of this generation. The purpose is to determine the compliance of the level of physical fitness of modern students of non-physical education specialties with the norms of the GTO complex and to identify on this basis ways to improve the physical training of students in the conditions of a modern university. The materials for the study were theoretical and empirical data obtained on the basis of the use of methods of theoretical analysis of special literature and advanced pedagogical experience, pedagogical experiment, control tests, mathematical and statistical methods of data processing and analysis. When studying the advanced pedagogical experience accumulated in our country since the introduction of the revived GTO standards in 2014, reflected in relevant publications, as well as scientific and methodological literature in the field of physical education, it was shown that at present the level of physical fitness of students does not always meet the requirements of GTO standards. This fact was proved experimentally, by conducting control tests on the basis of the Mari State University. This indicated that additional work is required on the physical training of students, and those indicators of physical fitness of students that require the greatest development were also identified. Methodological recommendations were formulated to improve the physical training of students in accordance with the standards of the GTO. The expediency of using the GTO standards as a system for assessing students’ physical fitness was theoretically justified and empirically proved.

The author explores human vitality as an indicator of people’s ability to develop, adapt and maintain stability/balance in challenging life situations. The concept of vitality embraces two aspects: susceptibility to negative circumstances and subsequent successful adaptation or positive outcome. The core factors of human vitality are considered personal traits, social competence, and available external support. The paper reflects the procedure of adapting and testing the psychometric indicators of the questionnaire aimed at assessing the vitality factors. It describes the findings of the study focused on the development of vitality in teenagers and adolescents. It is assumed that vitality differs across age groups at different stages of ontogeny, and personality traits and social relations are either protective or risk factors. It is shown that vitality differs across different age groups of young people, including by gender. The author discusses the personal development of junior schoolchildren with different levels of vitality. The group of viable younger adolescents expresses the “high IQ” factor (V), and “low-vitality” adolescents feel a high level of anxiety (factor O).

The paper presents the results of a study of strategies for transferring the meanings and the value orientations of young people in social networks. The Internet is so firmly rooted in our everyday life that we can no longer imagine our life without it. It is penetrating into an increasing number of human life spheres, becoming the environment in which communication, educational and work processes, leisure and shopping take place. Its hard not to notice that the youth audience is especially interested in the virtual environment. The Internet and, in particular, social networks are becoming the environment that influences the formation and development of society, the dissemination of ideas, news, trends. On the Internet, one can observe both the amazing consolidation of users who are able to create a news agenda, and the disunity of many contradictory judgments, meanings and forms of their presentation. The purpose of this study is to identify the strategies for the translation of meanings that Internet users resort to when commenting on posts on social networks, and to study the value orientations of young people using various strategies for the translation of meanings. The study includes the authors questionnaire, the method of diagnosing M. Rokichs value orientations, methods of mathematical statistics (H-Kruskal-Wallis criterion, 22-criterion). Terminal and instrumental values characteristic of the 6 strategies of meanings transferring have been determined; the strategies most often used by users with abstract and concrete terminal values are revealed. The research helps to understand how the transferring of meanings takes place in a network and according to which characteristics of the value sphere users with different strategies for the meanings transferring differ.

The article aims at presenting theoretical difficulties of sociology of morality and possible ways to overcome them. The importance of this issue is determined by the necessity of the scientific study of moral elements of the contemporary society in order to prevent its dehumanization. Sociology of morality focuses on the empirical study of various moral phenomena (justice, duty, conscience) in the social space. At the first stage of such a study, sociologists conduct observations and collect data, and at the second stage, they generalize moral facts to identify moral patterns. In sociology, morality is considered as an element of society; therefore, it is not analyzed by itself but within a system of social relations. One of the difficulties of such studies is the ambivalent nature of morality, i.e. its existence in both public and individual consciousness: if sociologists ignore the individual mode of morality, they misrepresent the content of moral facts. Another reason for theoretical difficulties in the study of morality is that sociologists use outdated ideas about the nature of moral truths and researchers impartiality - moral judgments are considered as not being true or false, and the researcher should ignore his value attitudes when collecting and analyzing data. The elimination of these difficulties can lead to the loss of the sociological research specifics and to the merger of sociology and moral philosophy. Representatives of the new sociology of morality have to reform this field but ensure its status of an independent scientific discipline. One of the ways to solve this task is to use ideas of analytic philosophy, in particular, of moral realism that defines moral qualities as qualities of real things, and moral truths as having the same status as scientific truths.

The purpose of the study is to study processes and psychological features of formation of human meaning in adulthood, due to the current uncertainty of social, economic and political situation and forces a person to constantly determine his position and view of the world. Addressing this important issue is primarily about activity consciousness of the individual, which aims to identify the meanings of events that occurring, constant search for new meanings, on the basis of which it would be possible to determine their place and vital role in changing reality.Methods. Adulthood is the longest period of human life (from adolescence to old age), so it is better to study this age by dividing it into separate stages. For our study, we chose the periodization of O.O. Bodalyov. The influence of the age factor on the significance of human values and spheres of life for a person is considered according to the method “Morphological test of life values” (by V.F. Sopiv, L.V. Karpushina), which is the result of using and further improving the method of I.G. Senin. This made it possible to explore the peculiarities of meaning-making in adulthood.Results. Differences in the significance of life spheres between age groups are more pronounced than random differences within the group. Thus, the importance of the spheres of life largely determines age. The minimum level of significance of the spheres of life is in the period of early adulthood, and they are most significant in the period of middle adulthood. Reaching the maximum value at this age, the level of importance of the spheres of life decreases over the years.Conclusions. It was found that the meaning of personality, its clear awareness, its reliability, are determined by viability, professional, family and age self-determination in life, which depends on the individual, his life position, his socio-psychological and social maturity and activity. Based on the empirical study, it is concluded that age largely determines the importance of life values and areas of life for man.As a result of the research it was found that during the transition from one age group of adulthood to another the meaning formation changes, in particular: in the early period of adulthood in the first place are the prospects of learning, professional self-determination; in the middle period of adulthood – career prospects, family life; in late adulthood – the prospects of social status.Key words: personality development, adulthood, transition stage, viability, meaningfulness of life, life values. Метоюдослідження є вивчення процесів і психологічних особливостей смислоутворення людей у період дорослості, що зумовлюється сучасною невизначеністю соціальної, економічної й політичної ситуації та змушує людину постійно визначатися у своїй позиції і погляді на світ.Вирішення цього важливого питання пов’язане насамперед з активністю свідомості особистості, яка спрямована на виявлення смислів подій, що відбуваються, постійний пошук нових смислів, на основі яких можна було би визначити своє місце й життєву роль у змінюваній реальності.Методи. Дорослість є найтривалішим періодом життя людини (від закінчення юності до початку старості), тому вивчати цей вік краще шляхом поділу його на окремі етапи. Для нашого дослідження обрано періодизацію О.О. Бодальова. Вплив фактору віку на значимість для людини життєвих цінностей і життєвих сфер розглянуто за методикою «Морфологічний тест життєвих цінностей» (В.Ф. Сопов, Л.В. Карпушина), яка є результатом використання й подальшого вдосконалення методики І.Г. Сеніна. Це дало змогу дослідити особливості смислоутворення в дорослому віці.Результати. Відмінності у значущості життєвих сфер між віковими групами є більш вираженими, ніж випадкові відмінності всередині групи. Таким чином, значимість життєвих сфер багато в чому визначає вік. Мінімальний рівень значущості життєвих сфер припадає на період ранньої дорослості, а найбільш значущі вони в період середньої дорослості. Після досягнення максимального значення в цьому віці рівень важливості життєвих сфер із роками знижується.Висновки. З’ясовано, що смислоутворення особистості, її чітке усвідомлення та надійність визначаються життєздатністю, професійним, сімейним і віковим самовизначенням у житті, яке залежить від особистості, її життєвої позиції, соціально-психологічної та соціальної зрілості й активності. На підставі проведеного емпіричного дослідження зроблено висновок про те, що вік багато в чому визна-чає значимість життєвих цінностей і життєвих сфер для людини. У результаті дослідження з’ясовано, що під час переходу з однієї вікової групи дорослості в іншу смислоутворення змінюється, зокрема: у ранньому періоді дорослості на першому місці перебувають перспективи навчання, професійного самовизначення; у середньому періоді дорослості – перспективи кар’єри, сімейного життя; у пізньому періоді дорослості – перспективи соціального статусу.Ключові слова: розвиток особистості, період дорослості, перехідний етап, життєздатність, осмисленість життя, життєві цінності.

The article deals with the ontological aspects of the consolidation of social being. As a fundamental reproduction mechanism, there is a phenomenon of meaning. The meaning produces, transmits the practice of connectivity and the unity of co-existence both at the individual and social levels. It is a connection, involvement that continues in the nature, quality, stability of human relations with the outside world. This connection gives the status of reality, the truth of human existence. In its ontological significance, reality as materiality, conformity, is only in experience. Thereby it is revealed that the social and individual being reality is in the space of experience that a human acquires in social interaction. «Significance of experience» forms a connection with reality, which acts as an ontological basis of meaning and grows out of its metaphysical nature. Thus, it fills the meaning itself, makes a true, real human being. The meaning connects, transforms and gives perspective to social relations. It is noted that the basis of meaning is its ontological characteristic, that is, a phenomenon arising from the real life relationships of an individual with the outside world. The nature of the meaning, which is an integral, consolidating, is determined by its transcendence. The meaning is always in the objective world. In other words, human does not choose and does not invent meaning, on the contrary, by selfrealization, it forms its connection with the world – its life meaning. Therefore, human existence requires direction to someone (something) other than herself. This metaphysical connection of being and meaning ensures the connection of human co-existence. So the true life meaning is always outside the human self, and therefore requires unity with other people. This logic reveals the phenomenon of comprehension as an integral being element, its symbolic component. Because of this, the main task of human is to go beyond the limits of their own selfishness, to feel their connection with the surrounding world. In this perspective, the meaning phenomenon is revealed in the space of sacral transformation, the personality birth. The more human overcomes the power of selfishness in themselves, the more he reveals the uniqueness of the surrounding world, the more he improves, realizes himself, acquires understanding of his own personality. In other words, self-realization itself does not foresee a direction. When in the human creativity field there is no orientation towards another human, when he «creatеs» for himself, a human must be prepared to be disappointed. Such «creativity» is empty, unclaimed, since it is devoid of its main content – love, that is, meaning. In other words, self-realization in itself should not and can not be the goal of human life. It is the result of the life meaning realization that is achieved only in the harmonious human connection with the outside world, only in productive relations with others. Therefore, self-realization is only a side effect of the man’s release beyond his own self. Consequently, meaningful life is not concentrated on its own «I», but is connected internally and externally with the lives of others. Moreover, this life is not only connected but it is also integral, since the nature of human relationship with the surrounding reality is a projection of the attitude towards himself. Thus, the analysis of the consolidation mechanisms of human existence, of its integrity, harmony, must focus in the space of the meaning problem. In other words, it is a matter of gaining a real individual experience of unity with the world. It is precisely this perspective of studying problems of integration of social and individual order that allows you to offer tools and ways to solve the issue.

Introduction. In the proposed article, the author at a theoretical level explores the problematic issues of ensuring the effectiveness of legal responsibility in the context of the modern value realities of liberal-and-democratic development. The aim of the article. The purpose of this article is to develop conceptual provisions of the social-and- normative context for ensuring the effectiveness of legal liability. Results. The problem of increasing the efficiency of functioning of the institution of legal responsibility is metanormative, because its solution goes beyond the possibilities of law as a special socio-normative system and depends directly on the concerted action of all social regulators, formed within the socio-cultural tradition of a particular nation and people. Although legal liability has lawful nature in both, positive and negative aspects, it is always linked to the realization of specific legal requirements, its subjective basis is the individual will and consciousness, the proper influence of which cannot be attained beyond the context of the high level of public authority of traditional moral principles and norms, which throughout the long history of mankind have constantly confirmed their decisive and paramount importance for ensuring any social transformation. The effectiveness of legal liability cannot be objectively achieved solely by ensuring a qualitative legal impact on its negative form of implementation, because setting a person up for legitimate behavior, as well as the stability of the latter, regardless of the specific external conditions or circumstances, presupposes the presence of an internal conscious conviction of the subject in the necessity, expediency and usefulness of the realization of legal norms. The basis of such inner conviction is, first and foremost, a personal sense of respect for the law as a social regulator, capable of useful and effective influence on multifaceted social relations, and one of the necessary preconditions for its securing is the real domination in the society and the state of the system of interconnected moral-and-law values, the relaying of which must be maintained at all levels of informative-and-communicative connections. A person's unlawful behavior and activities are always the result of a low level of positive legal liability, a disrespectful attitude to specific legal rules and law in general. At the same time, the improvement of the positive form of legal liability is based not so much on law, but on a high level of moral consciousness of the individual and moral «climate» in society. From this follows the real impossibility to increase the effectiveness of the institution of legal responsibility in state in the context of devaluation of the importance of moral regulation of will, consciousness and relations in society. Conclusions. Improving the functioning of the institution of legal responsibility in modern democratic realities requires the formation and maintenance of real social action of the system of moral-and-law values, the necessity, usefulness and priority of which has been repeatedly demonstrated in many historical examples. It should be borne in mind that the formation of such a value system is a complex and long-lasting process that is influenced by many interrelated and interdependent factors, in particular, a certain historical tradition, peculiarities of folk mentality, culture and art as one of the ways of perception and cognition of the surrounding world, social ideology, family education and other social institutions, etc. That is why attempts to establish such a system of values only with the help of appropriate power and legal means cannot produce positive results, but on the contrary, will contribute to the growth of social anomie in society.

Having a Networking or Networking is one very important thing that supports the success of the world of education. As a social being, basically there needs to be socialization or good relations between fellow humans, both in the smallest environment such as household, family, relatives, work colleagues and others. The research that the author uses is a type of literature review research or often called library research, Library Research which is research that is focused on collecting a series of quotations from various books or articles and laws / regulations related to the object of study. The principle of Islam is living together and a person's relationship with society because an individual has limitations. Therefore, the benefits obtained from society are never comparable to the benefits obtained from individuals because of their limitations. Islam instructs its followers in doing jobs to always cooperate with others and when individuals work together and have social relations, the spirit of unity that blows in their anatomy will keep them from being divided, so that Islam places great importance on participation in society. Humans as social beings always need other people. Despite having an adequate life, sufficient intelligence and sufficient physical strength, he will always need an environment where he can share, support each other and work together. Humans need not only religion, science, or entertainment or the arts, but also togetherness. Everything is necessary. Because with religion life is more directed, with knowledge life will be easier, with the art of life more beautiful and with togetherness life will be more useful. Cooperation is the mental and emotional involvement of people in group situations that encourage them to contribute to group goals or various responsibilities for achieving goals. In building a social life, humans create forms of social interaction which are then studied in social science. As members of social groups, we act and behave in certain ways. The behavior of each individual is usually influenced by the behavior of other people which is then known as interaction. The definition of cooperation (cooperative) is an effort made by several people or groups to achieve common goals. This collaboration is an interaction that is very important for human life because humans are social creatures who both need each other. This collaboration can occur when the individual concerned has the same interests and awareness to work together in achieving common goals and interests. Cooperation or collaboration is very important in an organization, as an integral part of efforts to achieve organizational goals. Therefore, the school as an organization needs to continually strive to build a spirit of cooperation for all its members.

Background. The comprehensive assessment of mentality in children on the population scale is necessary to develop measures for optimal shaping of the country’s future potential. However, the correlations between cognitive and socio-characterological parameters of the emerging personality makes it difficult to collect information and decreases the efficiency of traditional analysis methods on the population scale. The aim of the study is to estimate the correlations between cognitive activity social functioning of schoolchildren using artificial intelligence methods. Methods. The study included schoolchildren from 5th and 9th grades who studied in secondary schools in 8 major Russian cities. The survey used a battery of tests to assess cognitive performance and a questionnaire of extracurricular activities which was completed by parents. The analysis was performed using clustering and machine learning methods. Results. The battery of cognitive tests was used to examine 1983 children from 5th and 9th grades. Parents of 1,171 of them completed the extracurricular activity questionnaire. Two clusters of different levels of cognitive success of children and adolescents in both age groups were identified. The high level of cognitive activity was determined in cases associated with attending music school, non-sports hobbies in schoolchildren of both age groups in general; basketball, football, dancing, summer holidays in camps in 5th grade schoolchildren; and swimming, skiing, competitive sports (non-professional), tutoring sections, computer programming in 9th grade schoolchildren. Conclusion. The correlations between the level of cognitive activity and the individual typology of extracurricular activities (based on features of personality formation and social influence of the family) has been determined.
