В культуре XXI века к наиболее значимым понятиям, отражающим ее своеобразие, доминирующий тип сознания, социальных, культурных и коммуникативных практик, характер мотивирующих социальные преобразования факторов, относится понятие «медиа». Медиатизация, то есть процесс вовлечения человека и общества в сферу медиа, обусловлена как стремительными инновациями в коммуникационно-технологической среде, так и изменениями в самом человеке, формированием у него устойчивой потребности, с одной стороны, в информации, в ее непрерывном увеличении, обновлении и расширении ее проблемно-тематического спектра, а с другой - в публичной самопрезентации, в управлении вниманием и впечатлением целевых аудиторий. Медиа, внедряясь во все сферы жизни и деятельности современного общества, неизбежно преобразуют его социальные институты, практики, тексты и язык. Предметом рассмотрения в статье являются отдельные особенности языка, функционирующего в современной медийной среде и ставшего сегодня, благодаря форсированному расширению его социальной базы и включению в самые разные коммуникативные обстоятельства, важнейшей формой существования общенародного языка. Язык медиа «живет» во времени, в культуре, в сознании каждой личности и в конкретном, обусловленном социальным контекстом, коммуникативной ситуацией и медийной технологией информационно-речевом общении, аккумулируя опыт, знания и ценности, интеллектуальные и эмоциональные ресурсы, а также отмеченные и интерпретированные человеком и обществом содержательные параметры социального бытия. В то же время он сам формирует культурные каноны и их мировоззренческие принципы, прокладывая человеку путь как к высотам культуры, так и к ее низам. In the culture of the XXI century, the most significant concepts reflecting its originality, the dominant type of consciousness, social, cultural and communicative practices, the nature of factors motivating social transformations include the concept of "media". Mediatization, that is, the process of involving a person and society in the media sphere, is due to both rapid innovations in the communication and technological environment and changes in the person himself, the formation of a stable need in him, on the one hand, for information, for its continuous increase, updating and expanding its problem-thematic spectrum, and on the other - in public self-presentation, in managing the attention and impression of target audiences. Media, penetrating into all spheres of life and activities of modern society, inevitably transforms its social institutions, practices, texts and language. The subject of consideration in the article is the individual features of the language that functions in the modern media environment and has become today, thanks to the accelerated expansion of its social base and inclusion in a variety of communicative circumstances, the most important form of existence of the national language. The language of the media "lives" in time, in culture, in the consciousness of each individual and in a specific information-speech communication conditioned by the social context and media technology, accumulating experience, knowledge and values, intellectual and emotional resources, as well as marked and interpreted a person and a society meaningful parameters of social life. At the same time, it itself forms the cultural canons and their worldview principles, paving the way for a person both to the heights of culture and to its bottom.

Background: Research about the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), its epidemiology and socio-economic impact on populations worldwide has gained attention. However, there is dearth of empirical knowledge in low- and middle-income settings about the pandemic’s impact on survivors, particularly the tension of their everyday life arising from the experiences and consequences of stigma, discrimination and social exclusion, and how they cope with these behavioral adversities. Methods: Realist qualitative approach drawing data from people clinically diagnosed positive of COVID-19, admitted into therapy in a designated treatment facility, and subsequently recovered and discharged for or without follow-up domiciliary care. In-depth interviews were conducted by maintaining a code book for identifying and documenting thematic categories in a progression leading to thematic saturation with 45 participants. Data were transcribed and coded deductively for broad themes at the start before systematically nesting emerging themes into the broad ones with the aid of NVivo 12 software. Results: Everyday lived experiences of the participants were disrupted with acts of indirect stigmatization (against relatives and family members), direct stigmatization (labeling, prejudices and stereotyping), barriers to realizing full social life and discriminatory behaviors across socio-ecological structures (workplace, community, family, and social institutions). These behavioral adversities were associated with self-reported poor health, anxiety and psychological disorders, and frustrations among others. Consequently, supplicatory prayers, societal and organizational withdrawal, aggressive behaviors, supportive counseling, and self-assertive behaviors were adopted to cope and modify the adverse behaviors driven by misinformation and fearful perceptions of the COVID-19 and its contagious proportions. Conclusion: In the face of the analysis, social campaigns and dissemination of toolkits that can trigger behavior change and responsible behaviors toward COVID-19 survivors are proposed to be implemented by health stakeholders, policy and decision makers in partnership with social influencers, the media, and telecoms.

The importance of media culture in contemporary society is extremely large because it shapes a modern man life, the creation of political attitudes and social behavior of individuals. The products of media culture, paintings, sounds and performances are increasingly organizing free time of a contemporary man, shaping his thinking and identity. Based on the content of radio, television, film, and new media technologies, a person creates an image of himself, his own potentials, values, success, as well as his own affiliation, a certain class, race, nationality, and thus media culture has a remarkable social significance. A number of relevant authors state that media culture shapes people's perceptions of the world, the value system, morality, good and evil. Worldwide, the contents of the media culture today constitute a general culture and are seen as the basis for new forms of global culture. A complex spectrum of actions that make media, primarily radio television, film, and media of modern technologies, creates the need for a more precise definition of the term media culture, bearing in mind its breadth and complexity. In this context, the main goal of this paper is to define the concept of media culture, in order to better understand all aspects, as well as the complexity of the whole that this term implies. Media culture is determined by the terms which provide an insight into a better understanding of this term, and in this paper they are given considerable attention. D. Kelner in the Media Culture section points to the following important determinants: a wide range of media resources that form an integral part of the media culture; performances created by the combination of picture and sound; creation of features and symbols of contemporary social life; media culture as a high technology culture (techno-culture); the relation between media culture and society; theory of media and cultures.

The article deals with the analysis of situations of uncertainty in various spheres of modern society life that have arisen as a result of the rapid development of digital technologies; virtualization of many components of modern human life; the increasing role of visual information in communication; drastic changes in the labor market, in intellectual practices and the formation of new requirements for the education and vocational training system. We have proposed to analyze such situations using the principle of “incomplete comprehension of object”, and we carried out a consideration of its content and indicated its methodological role. To our mind, one of the most important features of this principle is the focus on a set of ambiguous, non-obvious links between the internal elements of an object, as well as during its interactions with agents of external influence in a situation of uncertainty. Besides, we examined its heuristic and predictive capabilities using examples of analysis of specific typical situations in various spheres of social life, primarily related to the labor market and education in a digital culture.

The paper considers the new features of the digital media environment associated with the widespread introduction of platforms and algorithms in media practices and reveals the technological, business and social background of these innovations. The application of platforms and algorithms is a powerful tool for implementing the commercial imperative in the media. In general, this is a characteristic feature of the development of modern society – a trend towards comprehensive metrization. Along with the advantages, the use of predictive algorithms, personalization of content based on tracking of past communicative behavior has a number of negative social consequences. E.g., ‘filter bubbles’ contribute to the formation of closed information segments. The model of social behaviorism underlying the recommendation services contributes to the modification of people’s informational behavior. Algorithmization of media landscape strengthens the trends of content delivery to individual consumers, and not to citizens inclined to make joint decisions regarding the common interests of social life.

Media language has always attracted the attention of linguists, particularly applied linguists and sociolinguists. There are four practical and principled reasons for this interest. First, the media provide an easily accessible source of language data for research and teaching purposes. Second, the media are important linguistic institutions. Their output makes up a large proportion of the language that people hear and read every day. Media usage reflects and shapes both language use and attitudes in a speech community. For second language learners, the media may function as the primary—or even the sole—source of native-speaker models. Third, the ways in which the media use language are interesting linguistically in their own right; these include how different dialects and languages are used in advertising, how tabloid newspapers use language in a projection of their assumed readers' speech, or how radio personalities use language—and only language–to construct their own images and their relationships to an unseen, unknown audience. Fourth, the media are important social institutions. They are crucial presenters of culture, politics, and social life, shaping as well as reflecting how these are formed and expressed. Media ‘discourse’ is important both for what it reveals about a society and for what it contributes to the character of society.

The modernity theories of western-type societies are understood as a process, when a developing society approaches developed societies, reaching a certain level of economic growth, a certain level of public participation or a certain phase of democratic development, giving access for more individuals to the physical, social and economic mobility. In modern societies, the educational institution has become one of the key factors to ensure the stimulating and securing mobility of individuals. The modern world gives the education prominence in modern societies. Education has become a major means to climb up the ladder of social classes. Therefore, education has to be compulsory so that it prevents people from creating social groups that could turn into ones non - integral, excluded from society. The aim of modern society is to provide equal opportunities to everyone to learn and meet the needs of the times. According to the modernity theory the Institution of Education should become the basis of social security protecting the individual from various social risks in the future. According to functionalists, each social element of a society as a whole, including the educational institution, contributes to the stability of society. Summarizing various descriptions of the concepts of a social institution in the literature one can conclude that social institution is organized associations of people, who perform certain socially important functions through their social roles, or have common goals, values, norms and behavior patterns. Social institutions can be strong or weak, regardless of people‘s trust in them, nor the requirements of social life. It has been noted that in the scientific literature usually four major social institutions are identified: family, education, religion and politics. The importance of the institutions in society depends upon the times, the country’s political and economic context. The process of Institution-building in social life, acquisition of the well-established values is known as institutionalization. It takes place at all levels of social life, in small groups and large organizations. A greater part of ordinary societal life occurs in specialized institutional situations. Today’s social institutions are quite independent, though they are connected by people, who link themselves to a number of social institutions. Social institutions often compete among each other, for each of them aims at managing the main social functions of society. Family, education, church, and government often compete amid each other openly attempting to influence various groups of society.

Globalization may be thought initially as the widening, deepening and speeding up of worldwide interconnectedness in all aspects of contemporary social life, from the cultural to the criminal, the financial to the spiritual. This definition suggests that at the most general level, globalization refers to a process of change, which affects all regions of the world in a variety of sectors including the economy, technology, politics, the media, culture and the environment. Mass Media is playing a crucial role in today’s human society. It has become a powerful instrument of social change and influences the daily life of the people. New communication technologies such as satellites, cable television, wireless telephony, the Internet and computers are bringing about noticeable changes in the modern society. The present paper is based on an empirical research study conducted on 100 Youth trainees of a Prashikshan Shivir (Training Camp) of All World Gayatri Pariwar, Shantikunj, Haridwar by administrating an interview schedule on the respondents.
