Answer from Od-Dentist[guru]
the fact that we value this life and all worldly values higher than the Kingdom of Heaven! Do you often think about your death? ??And this is precisely what gives Life Meaning! No wonder in prayer they ask God to give “mortal memory”! That is, a person lives and remembers his death and acts in such a way that he can later be justified at the Last Judgment. But we are used to living and grabbing, grabbing.... “take everything from life” and so on. This is the substitution of values

Answer from Alexander Babich[guru]
religious instead of virtuous
Let's remember the works that our fathers and mothers, grandparents grew up with - these were the works of the classics: Turgenev, Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, Chekhov, Tolstoy and other wonderful poets and writers.
The sublime images and characters of the main characters encouraged us to imitate them in their fidelity, masculinity, culture of communication, subtle humor, developed in us the right concepts about duty and honor; exposed and ridiculed such character traits as hypocrisy, deceit, servility, sycophancy, infidelity, betrayal and much more.
If we now open almost any printed publication of fiction, any magazine or newspaper, turn on the TV or go to the cinema, what do we see?
Today, adherents of lack of culture loudly proclaim: “We must live in step with the times,” and they assert their category of values. And, unfortunately, the first place in this category is occupied by money, and for the sake of money, people today commit deception, all kinds of lies, and even more serious crimes.
One person said:
“Who caused the most people to die? Because of Hitler, Stalin? “No, meet Benjamin Franklin, pictured on the $100 bill.”
We, of course, understand the irony of this statement, but unfortunately, this category of a person’s value completely depersonalizes him, making him cruel, envious, deceitful, hypocritical, and so on. The Bible very accurately says that the root of all evil is the love of money.
You can often hear indignation at the new laws in the country and the activities of the government, but if you think about it, what constitutes my scale of values.
Maybe it’s better to start with myself and look at what books I read, what shows I watch, what movies I like, in the end, why I love my husband or wife and whether I love them at all.
There used to be a very common saying: “Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are.” It has not lost its relevance today. Someone said that a person has never been lonely as in the 21st century. But each of us seems to have mobile phones filled with a list of so-called friends. I say “so-called” because they are not, in fact, friends. We need them or they need us, we get some kind of mutually beneficial cooperation from each other and nothing more. If something happens to me, no one will remember why? Yes, because no one will need me.
One man was in a car accident and became a wheelchair user; his wife left him; in another family a blind child was born, he was sent to an orphanage; In another family, the son became a drug addict and his parents abandoned him and kicked him out of the house.
And where is mercy, kindness, loyalty, revenue, mutual assistance, parental or filial duty?
One can cite dozens and hundreds of examples of similar human tragedies that fill the world today due to the fact that people choose the wrong values for themselves, which in fact are not such.
So, the future of our children depends on what we choose today.
And if our category of values is money, position in society, fame, greatness, etc., then do not be surprised if tomorrow your children consider you unnecessary and send you to a nursing home; or, even worse, they will visit you only for your funeral in order to inherit your home and property.
But if in your life you have adhered to the principles of honesty, decency, honor, kindness and mercy, even if this was sometimes to the detriment of your financial condition, then believe that your children will follow your example; and you will not be ashamed in front of your neighbors because your son or daughter, even if they are rich, famous and famous, for some reason does not come to you.
I hope you choose the right values in your life.
What should come first in a person's life? How can a person be characterized by his chosen goal? These are the questions that arise when reading D.S. Likhachev’s text.
Commenting on the problem of true and false values in life, the author relies on his own thoughts. He believes that a worthy person is distinguished by his goals and aspirations - in the first place for such a person are goodness, humanity, and compassion. And the one who sees the meaning of his whole life in buying a more expensive car, a more luxurious house, gives the impression of a base, unspiritual person.
It should be dictated by kindness towards people, love for family, for your city, for your people, for your country, for the whole universe.”
It is impossible to disagree with the author's position. If a person strives to do good deeds, to live with love for his neighbor and for the Fatherland, his life will be filled with joy, happiness, and the awareness that he has brought benefit to the world. By acquiring only material goods, a person will never be happy; he will always lack something. In the endless pursuit of material wealth, he will be devastated morally and spiritually.
Let's try to prove the correctness of our judgments by turning to a literary argument. Let us remember the story by I.A. Bunin “The Gentleman from San Francisco.” The main character devoted his entire life to his career and acquiring capital. Finally, he decides to go on a cruise trip with his family. In an expensive hotel in Capri, reading a newspaper, he suddenly dies. In order not to spoil the reputation of the establishment, the manager orders the body of the deceased old man to be moved in a soda box to the service room. And then the dead man floats in the hold of the ship Atlantis back to America, completing the earthly circle of life. With the death of the gentleman from San Francisco, nothing changed in the world; no one except his family grieved for his passing. This man served false values, saw the meaning of life in earning money in order to have the right to a luxurious vacation and entertainment.
Let's look at another literary example. In A.P. Chekhov’s story “Ionych,” the main character degrades as a person when the goal of his life is to accumulate money and buy houses. At first, Dmitry Ionych Startsev, a zemstvo doctor, walks around and falls in love with the daughter of the Turkins, whose family is considered the most talented in the provincial town of S. Having received a refusal from Ekaterina Ivanovna to propose marriage, Startsev quickly calms down. He gets a private practice in the city, money, his own troika, carriage, coachman Panteleimon. Ionych’s favorite pastime is counting rainbow-colored pieces of paper, which he takes out of his pocket in the evenings. So gradually the zemstvo doctor loses his humanity and turns into an idol.
Thus, we are convinced that when choosing a goal in life, a person thus evaluates himself. If he chooses material goods, then he can be assessed as the owner of a car or a summer house, nothing more. If he strives to do good to others, he evaluates himself at the level of humanity.
There is a lot of talk in society about such a phenomenon in society as the substitution of values. Some are outraged and blame the media and entertainment industry for the depravity of youth and the decay of society, some are happy to spread “new” values and live by them, while others simply do their job well, help those in need as best they can, and take care of their own family, and bears HIMSELF responsibility for his actions.
What is value substitution?
Usually, the concept of “substitution of values” is understood as the dissemination of information about the benefits of a hedonistic lifestyle and consumer attitudes towards the environment, the people around us, the state, and the family.
Where do values come from?
We are told that the sources are the media, television, and the Internet. This is told by people who simply do not want to take responsibility. A lot of things in a person are genetic, and in the process of life, the environment creates its own work of art from this genetic material. And it all starts with parents, they lay the foundation with their upbringing. On a strong foundation, a house can turn out to be strong, but if the foundation is weak, then the house will fall apart in any case.
Throughout history, society has been divided into groups. Each group had its own values, its own way of life, traditions, and worldviews. In India we can still observe caste divisions. If we compare the values and worldviews of representatives of different castes, we come to the understanding that each caste is a separate world.
In our society there is no obvious division into castes, however, society is divided: there are intelligentsia, there is the working class, there are criminals, there are drunkards and drug addicts. And each class raises its own kind. There are exceptions, but overall the trend is noticeable.
Each class has its own values in all respects. For example, in the marginal classes of drunkards and drug addicts and in the working class, it is not customary to live and love a wife or husband. It is considered normal to cheat, have fun, for a husband to go out and scold his wife, for a wife to work for four people and scold her husband. As for children, the norm is to give birth to a child, send him to kindergarten, to school, feed him, put him on shoes, and dress him. It is also normal to have abortions, because sex and irresponsibility are an integral part of their values. They don’t seriously think about any education of the moral and ethical qualities of a child - they put a tablet or phone in their hands and finally there is silence. But the child really wants to be played with, answered many, many questions, hugged, kissed. Regarding work, such families do not think about how to gain more knowledge and bring more benefit to society and the family. The main thing is that there is at least some work. At the same time, they tirelessly complain that someone did not give them a prestigious position, and they cannot earn money like lazy directors. These are the values that are imposed on young children. They don't see others.
If we talk about the intelligentsia class, here parents pay more attention to the mental development of their children and their education. And children themselves, from childhood, are in an environment where intelligence dominates. Here they are more attentive not to the physiological needs of children for food and clothing, but to their spiritual education. Here the words love, kindness, help, knowledge are heard more often. The relationship between parents is more respectful and not consumerist.
A separate class are businessmen. The class is characterized by the fact that children are told from childhood that they need to be purposeful, strive to earn a lot, and study. At the same time, family values, concepts of friendship and mutual assistance may be absent.
You can also highlight the military, which has its own values.
Anyone can move from one class to another, although only from the point of view of social status. Many representatives of the working class, for example, remain hedonists and consumers, even after achieving a position in society.
Substitution of values is not a new phenomenon.
The problem of hedonism and consumerism has always existed. It’s just that now, thanks to the media and popular culture, there is a lot of talk about this. Examples of the decline of morals are described in the Bible: remember the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Among the world classics, Dante Alighieri’s “The Divine Comedy” was written in 1307-1321, Johann Goethe spoke about this in his “Faust” in 1790, and Oscar Wilde spoke about it in “The Picture of Dorian Gray” in 1890. In fact, in literature the topic of substitution of values has been widely raised at all times; this is just a small list of the most high-profile works.
If we talk about historical figures, we all know Napoleon and Peter 1, Suleiman, who gave their thoughts to their lovers. But we also heard about Henry VIII Tudor, the image of which the writers of the series The Tudors made almost an ideal and role model. Although he was a bloody, greedy, selfish man, whose actions were condemned even by the church, sacrificing its unity and influence. Because of his lust, he killed two of his wives and brutally dealt with the peasants.
Why do young people like to watch mind-numbing shows like “House 2”, “Comedy Club”, and mass-market films? Yes, many people are influenced by the crowd. But, if a person has a healthy lifestyle, high responsibility, and the desire to gain knowledge since childhood, then no mass culture will drag him down. There are plenty of such examples. In fact, we all grew up in the same society, but we all grew up different because we grew up in different families and were children of different parents.
Therefore, dear parents, let’s criticize mass culture less and pay more attention to teaching children to adhere to their own values and positive values.
What are the main values of a person? Why do people sometimes make mistakes in their choices? The author of this text raises the problem of true and false values.
Yu. Nagibin gives a monologue of the hero, who speaks about the main values of a person. The author argues that the attitude towards the heroic should not be subject to fashion, since everything depends on the moral qualities of a person hiding under the outer “shell”. Sometimes people are mistaken in their choice, but they are still filled with a sense of striving for the best, because true values can never become outdated.
The author does not directly show his point of view, but gradually leads the reader to the idea that kindness, sincerity, activity, ability to work, determination, courage are the most important qualities a person should have.
I completely agree with the author’s opinion that vital activity and ability to work can “pull” a person out of a difficult situation. Suffice it to recall Leo Tolstoy’s novel “Anna Karenina”. Konstantin Levin, after receiving Katya Shcherbatskaya’s refusal to marry him, goes to live in the village. He went with the men to the fields to mow grass, despite the fact that he was a gentleman. Severely tired, Levin still received great satisfaction from this work.
This suggests that Konstantin Dmitrievich chose work instead of eking out a miserable existence.
The following literary example, it seems to me, is another argument. Let's remember L.N. Tolstoy's epic novel "War and Peace". For the Kuragin family, the main value in life was money, which is why both Anatole and Helen grew up selfish. In the Rostov house everything was the other way around: in their family everything was built on love and mutual understanding. Therefore, Natasha, Nikolai and Petya grew up kind and sympathetic. Thus, the Kuragins chose false values, and the Rostovs chose true ones.
Based on all of the above, I will emphasize once again: it is important to make your choice correctly and distinguish the false from the true.
