Introduction
Values ​​are generalized ideas of people about the goals and means of achieving them, about the norms of their behavior, embodying historical experience and concentratedly expressing the meaning of the culture of a particular ethnic group and of all humanity.
Value in general and sociological value in particular have not been sufficiently studied in domestic sociological science. It is enough to familiarize yourself with the contents of textbooks and teaching aids on sociology published at the end of the twentieth century and in recent years to be convinced of this. At the same time, the problem is relevant, socially and epistemologically significant both for sociology and for a number of social and human sciences - history, anthropology, social philosophy, social psychology, government studies, philosophical axiology and a number of others.
The relevance of the topic is presented in the following main provisions:
· Understanding values ​​as a set of ideals, principles, moral norms that represent priority knowledge in people’s lives, have a very specific humanitarian significance both for a particular society, say, for Russian society, and at the general human level. Therefore, the problem deserves comprehensive study.
· Values ​​unite people on the basis of their universal significance; knowledge of the patterns of their integrative and consolidating nature is completely justified and productive.
· Social values ​​included in the subject field of sociological problems, such as moral values, ideological values, religious values, economic values, national ethical values, etc., are of utmost importance for study and accounting also because they act as a measure of social assessments and criteria characteristics.
· Clarifying the role of social values ​​is also important for us, students, future specialists who will carry out social roles in social reality in the future - in a work collective, city, region, etc.

Values ​​of modern Russian society
The changes that have occurred over the past ten years in the sphere of government and political organization of Russian society can be called revolutionary. The most important component of the transformation taking place in Russia is a change in the worldview of the population. It is traditionally believed that mass consciousness is the most inertial sphere compared to the political and socio-economic ones. However, during periods of sharp, revolutionary transformations, the system of value orientations can also be subject to very significant shifts. It can be argued that institutional transformations in all other areas are irreversible only when they are accepted by society and enshrined in the new system of values ​​that this society is guided by. And in this regard, changes in the worldview of the population can serve as one of the most important indicators of the reality and effectiveness of social transformation as a whole.
In Russia, as a result of changes in the social structure during the transition from an administrative-command system to a system based on market relations, there was a rapid disintegration of social groups and institutions, and a loss of personal identification with previous social structures. There is a loosening of the normative value systems of the old consciousness under the influence of the propaganda of ideas and principles of new political thinking.
People's lives are individualized, their actions are less regulated from the outside. In modern literature, many authors talk about a crisis of values ​​in Russian society. Values ​​in post-communist Russia really contradict each other. Reluctance to live in the old way is combined with disappointment in new ideals, which turned out to be either unattainable or false for many. Nostalgia for a giant country coexists with various manifestations of xenophobia and isolationism. Getting used to freedom and private initiative is accompanied by a reluctance to take responsibility for the consequences of one’s own economic and financial decisions. The desire to defend the newfound freedom of private life from uninvited intrusions, including from the “watchful eye” of the state, is combined with a craving for a “strong hand.” This is only a cursory list of those real contradictions that do not allow us to unambiguously assess Russia’s place in the modern world.
Assuming consideration of the process of development of new value orientations in Russia, it would not be amiss to first pay attention to the very “soil” on which the seeds of a democratic social order fell. In other words, what the current hierarchy of values ​​has become under the influence of the changed political and economic situation largely depends on the general ideological attitudes that have historically developed in Russia. The debate about the Eastern or Western nature of spirituality in Russia has been going on for centuries. It is clear that the uniqueness of the country does not allow it to be attributed to any one type of civilization. Russia is constantly trying to enter the European community, but these attempts are often hampered by the “eastern genes” of the empire, and sometimes by the consequences of its own historical fate.
What characterizes the value consciousness of Russians? What changes have occurred in it in recent years? What has the previous hierarchy of values ​​transformed into? Based on data obtained in the course of several empirical studies on this issue, it is possible to identify the structure and dynamics of values ​​in Russian society.
An analysis of Russians’ answers to questions about traditional, “universal” values ​​allows us to identify the following hierarchy of Russians’ priorities (as their importance decreases):
family - 97% and 95% of all respondents in 1995 and 1999, respectively;
The family, providing its members with physical, economic and social security, at the same time acts as the most important tool for the socialization of the individual. Thanks to it, cultural, ethnic, and moral values ​​are transmitted. At the same time, the family, remaining the most stable and conservative element of society, develops along with it. The family, thus, is in motion, changing not only under the influence of external conditions, but also due to the internal processes of its development. Therefore, all social problems of our time affect the family in one way or another and are refracted in its value orientations, which are currently characterized by increasing complexity, diversity, and inconsistency.
work - 84% (1995) and 83% (1999);
friends, acquaintances - 79% (1995) and 81% (1999);
free time - 71% (1995) and 68% (1999);
religion - 41% (1995) and 43% (1999);
politics - 28% (1995) and 38% (1999). 1)
Noteworthy is the very high and stable commitment of the population to such traditional values ​​for any modern society as family, human communication, and free time. Let us immediately pay attention to the stability with which these basic “nuclear” values ​​are reproduced. The four-year interval did not have a significant effect on attitudes towards family, work, friends, free time, or religion. At the same time, interest in the more superficial, “external” sphere of life—politics—has increased by more than a third. It is also understandable that for the majority of the population in today’s crisis socio-economic situation, work is of great importance: it is the main source of material well-being and the opportunity to realize interests in other areas. At first glance, the only thing that seems somewhat unexpected is the mutual position in the hierarchy of values ​​of religion and politics: after all, over the course of more than seven decades of Soviet history, atheism and “political literacy” were actively cultivated in the country. And the last decade of Russian history was marked, first of all, by turbulent political events and passions. Therefore, it is not surprising that there is some increase in interest in politics and political life.
Previously, the qualities desirable for the social system were, as it were, predetermined by communist ideology. Now, in the conditions of the liquidation of the monopoly of one worldview, the “programmed” person is being replaced by a “self-organizing” person, freely choosing his political and ideological orientations. It can be assumed that the ideas of political democracy of a rule of law state, freedom of choice, and the establishment of a democratic culture are not popular among Russians. First of all, because the injustice of today’s social system, associated with growing differentiation, is activated in the minds of Russians. Recognition of private property as a value may have nothing to do with its recognition as the object and basis of labor activity: private property in the eyes of many is only an additional source (real or symbolic) of consumer goods.
Today, in the minds of Russians, those values ​​that are in one way or another connected with the activities of the state are updated first of all. The first among them is legality. The demand for legality is a demand for stable rules of the game, for reliable guarantees that changes will not be accompanied by a massive ejection of people from their usual niches in life. Russians understand legality not in a general legal sense, but in a specific human sense, as a vital need for the state to establish an order in society that actually ensures the safety of individuals (hence the high rating of the word “security” as the main need of a vital type). There is every reason to assume that in the minds of the majority of Russians, despite all the ideological shifts that have occurred in recent years, the correlation of the law with the usual functions of the former state, as a guarantor of public order and a distributor of basic goods, still prevails. A private person, formed in the Soviet era, sees in another private person (or organization) a competitor not in production, but exclusively in consumption. In a society where all sources and functions of development were concentrated in the hands of the state, in a society that tried to develop technologically without the institution of private property, such a result was inevitable. Currently, one of the main values ​​of Russians is a focus on private life, family well-being, and prosperity. In a crisis society, the family has become for most Russians the center of attraction for their mental and physical strength.
The concept of security, like perhaps no other, captures continuity with the consciousness of the “traditionally Soviet” type and at the same time carries within itself an alternative to it. In it one can see nostalgic memories of the lost orderliness (traces of “defense consciousness”), but at the same time, the idea of ​​​​protection of the individual who has felt the taste of freedom, protection in the broadest sense of the word, including from the arbitrariness of the state. But if security and freedom cannot become complementary, then the idea of ​​security, with increasing interest in it, may well be combined in Russian society with a demand for a new ideological unfreedom of the “national socialist” kind.
So, the value “core” of Russian society consists of such values ​​as legality, security, family, and prosperity. Family can be classified as interactionist values, the other three are vital, the simplest, significant for the preservation and continuation of life. These values ​​perform an integrating function.
Values ​​are the deep foundations of society; how homogeneous or, if you like, unidirectional they will become in the future, how harmoniously the values ​​of different groups can be combined will largely determine the success of the development of our society as a whole.
As has already been noted, fundamental changes in society are impossible and incomplete without changing the value consciousness of the people who make up this society. It seems extremely important to study and fully monitor the process of transformation of the hierarchy of needs and attitudes, without which real understanding and management of social development processes is impossible

Conclusion

The most significant values ​​are: the life and dignity of a person, his moral qualities, moral characteristics of human activities and actions, the content of various forms of moral consciousness - norms, principles, ideals, ethical concepts (good, evil, justice, happiness), moral characteristics of social institutions, groups, collectives, classes, social movements and similar social segments.
Among the sociological consideration of values, religious values ​​also occupy an important place. Faith in God, the desire for the absolute, discipline as integrity, high spiritual qualities cultivated by religions are so sociologically significant that these provisions are not disputed by any sociological teaching.
The considered ideas and values ​​(humanism, human rights and freedoms, environmental ideas, the idea of ​​social progress and the unity of human civilization) act as guidelines in the formation of the state ideology of Russia, which becomes an integral part of post-industrial society. The synthesis of traditional values, the heritage of the Soviet system and the values ​​of post-industrial society is a real prerequisite for the formation of a unique matrix of the integrative state ideology of Russia.

Introduction

Value is a characteristic feature of human life. Over the course of many centuries, people have developed the ability to identify objects and phenomena in the world around them that meet their needs and to which they treat in a special way: they value and protect them, and focus on them in their life activities. In everyday usage, “value” is understood as one or another value of some object (thing, state, action), its dignity with a plus or minus sign, something desirable or harmful, in other words, good or bad.

No society can do without values; as for individuals, they have a choice whether to share these values ​​or not. Some are committed to the values ​​of collectivism, while others are committed to the values ​​of individualism. For some, the highest value is money, for others - moral integrity, for others - a political career.

Currently, the problem of value is of great importance. This is explained by the fact that the process of renewal of all spheres of public life has brought to life many new, both positive and negative phenomena. Developing scientific and technological progress, industrialization and informatization of all spheres of modern society - all this gives rise to an increase in negative attitudes towards history, culture, traditions and leads to the devaluation of values ​​in the modern world.

The shortage of spiritual values ​​is felt today in all spheres. Many of our ideals have changed dramatically during the changes. The spiritual balance was disrupted, and a destructive stream of indifference, cynicism, disbelief, envy, and hypocrisy rushed into the resulting void.

The purpose of my work is to study these changes and identify new, modern values ​​of Russian society.

Values ​​in modern Russia: results of expert research

During the period from July 15 to September 10, 2007, specialists from the Pitirim Sorokin Foundation conducted a study “Values ​​in modern Russia.” It became the first stage of a large-scale project of the same name, aimed at promoting the development of a value base capable of consolidating various groups of Russian society.

The relevance of the study is due to the obvious demand of society for a new understanding of the value foundation. Various state and social institutions respond to such a request by intensifying the discussion of this topic, but it is not accompanied by a study of the fundamental foundations on which the expected correction of the value doctrine of society should take place. How do Russians understand the concept of “value”? What moral standards are capable of consolidating society? What ideology should these values ​​serve to form? The initiators of the research project will try to find answers to these and other questions.

The purpose of the first – this – stage of work was to study the value trends of Russian society. In particular, the following tasks were proposed for solution:

    To study opinions about the key values ​​that dominate in Russian society at the present stage.

    Determine the vector for correcting axiological preferences of various religious, ethnic and age groups of Russians.

    To record the understanding of different audiences of the concept of “national ideology”, as well as experts’ forecasts regarding the development of the national idea of ​​Russia.

    Determine the value priorities of Russian youth, related political preferences and electoral plans.

The research was conducted through an expert survey and focus groups with various youth audiences.

According to the surveyed social scientists, the Russian value system is still chaotic, undergoing transformation, and has not yet fully formed in its new capacity.

The reasons for such a long registration process are “ numerous disasters that befell Russia in the last century"and reflected on the collective consciousness of the population. Experts believe that " people have still not recovered from the feeling of the ground being pulled out from under their feet“According to social scientists, there is no single value system in Russia today.

However, many value subsystems coexist in the country, spontaneously formed in accordance with the interests and needs of certain social groups.

Some experts called the modern value picture of Russia “ situation of valuable debris", When " different parts of society make use of their wreckage».

Dominant values

Among the axiological attitudes characteristic of modern Russian society, study participants - experts and actors of youth focus groups - indicated the following values ​​(ranked according to the principle of descending significance):

    Material well-being.

    The value of “I” (individualism).

    Career (self-realization).

  1. Stability.

  2. Respect for elders.

    God (belief in God).

    Patriotism.

    Duty and honor.

Material well-being

The priority of the values ​​of material well-being and consumer wealth (in common parlance - mercantilism) for most of modern Russian society is noted by many experts. First of all, these values ​​are highlighted by the interviewed social scientists who have the opportunity, in the course of their professional activities, to monitor the dynamics of social demands. They note that consumer orientation is unconventional for Russia, since it began to take shape only in the 90s, when the “idealistic” generations left socially active life.

Analyzing the reasons for the dominance of consumer orientation as a value, experts pointed to the massive propaganda of the consumer lifestyle and the urbanization of the country as such.

The value of "I" (individualism)

The respondents believe that it is precisely in the individual’s concentration on his own needs and, accordingly, “ in the perception of the surrounding world through an egocentric prism“is the essence of individualism as a value.

This situation, experts believe, is a consequence of the introduction of the idea of ​​a consumer society, when an exaggerated focus on wealth focuses a person only on personal interests. Individualism is a response to the empty niche of “common” values, the Soviet system of which was destroyed and a new one was not created.

The dominance of individualist values, according to a number of respondents, limits the socio-psychological wealth and cultural prospects of the country.

Career (self-realization)

A peculiar conversion of the individualistic priorities of modern Russian society is the presentation by experts of self-realization as an important value, which primarily means a successful career. According to the majority of respondents, it is precisely this that gives Russians, especially young people, “ feeling of worth in the eyes of others", indicates " compliance with public standards", gives the feeling that " you have achieved something in life" Self-realization was identified as a dominant value at the current stage by both experts and youth representatives who participated in focus groups.

Family

The basic nature of the value of family was noted by all study participants without exception.

However, the nature of loyalty to family values ​​varied among a number of expert groups. A significant portion of respondents confidently insist that the family in Russia has been and remains a key element of the social system.

Supporters of this position note that in the new Russia the trend of growing importance of the family is intensifying and insist on the need for systematic work to introduce family values ​​into the public consciousness.

For another number of experts, the appeal to the family as a value is external - inertial - in nature: this value is indicated as fundamental, but subsequent discussions about it demonstrate a peripheral attitude to the institution of family in reality.

Separately, it is worth highlighting the position of young people regarding the family: an unexpected result of the study was the fact that, despite the erosion of the institution of family in a modern globalized society, the vast majority of the young audience states the importance of the family and points to the importance of preserving and protecting the family institution.

Stability

The overwhelming number of respondents - experts and participants in youth focus groups - noted stability, which means the absence of socio-political and economic cataclysms, as a basic value for them.

Young people associate the likelihood of their success in life with stability. Middle-aged and older experts explain the desire for stability as fatigue from the “era of change.”

The desire of society for stability, experts note, has socio-psychological and pragmatic aspects. Firstly, the correction of the circumstances of existence from extreme to comfortable requires the instinct of psychological self-preservation of society. Secondly, Russians associate the prospects for a personal and national economic breakthrough with stability.

Liberty

During the study, freedom as a basic socially significant value was noted mainly by representatives of the youth audience. At the same time, it is worth pointing out the semantic dichotomy of the value of freedom, which emerged in connection with which youth groups spoke out on this issue.

Values- this is a social concept, a natural object that acquires social significance and can be the object of activity. Values ​​are the guideline of a person's life. they are necessary to maintain social order and are embodied in behavior and norm formation.

American social psychologist Gordon Allport (1897-1967) developed the following classification of values:

Theoretical;

Social;

Political;

Religious;

Aesthetic;

Economic.

There is a conflict of values, which at the same time is the source of their development. In this regard, values ​​are divided into two categories:

1) basic, terminal, stable value-goals (for example, freedom);

2) instrumental, i.e. means-values ​​as personality properties, abilities that help or hinder the achievement of a goal (for example, strong will, endurance, honesty, education, efficiency, accuracy).

You can also divide values ​​into actual, present and possible. Due to the variety of classifications, it is quite difficult to study values. Indeed, how to move from the study of ideals and goals desired and approved by society to real structures of values ​​that exist in the mind?

The value system reflects the essential goals, ideas, and ideals of its era. The results of research conducted at St. Petersburg University showed that in the 1930-1950s. Among the values, romance and hard work were in first place; in the 1970-1980s - practicality and perseverance. During the period from 1988 to 1990, the value of individual human existence increased and the orientation towards the wider human community decreased. Correlating values ​​with one or another sociocultural foundation in the depths of which they arose, they can be classified as follows:

Traditional, focused on the reproduction of long-established goals and norms of life;

Modern, focused on innovation and progress towards sustainable goals;

Universal, equally focused on the reproduction of long-established goals and norms of life, and on their innovation.

Values ​​can also be distinguished by relating them to the corresponding needs of individuals:

Vital (well-being, comfort, safety);

Interactionist (communication, interaction with other people);

Meaningful (norms and patterns of behavior approved in a given ethnic group, society, culture). Based on the role of values ​​for the functioning and development of society as an integral system, they are divided into:

Mainly integrating;

Mainly differentiating;


Approved;

Denied.

For applied purposes, the typology of values ​​according to their place in the status-hierarchical structure of the value consciousness of members of society is important. On this basis the following are distinguished:

"core", i.e. values ​​of the highest status (fundamental moral values, they are shared by at least 50% of the population);

“structural reserve”, i.e. values ​​of average status, which at a certain time can move to the “core” (in this area value conflicts are most intense), they are approved by 30-45% of the population:

"tail", i.e. values ​​of lower status, their composition is inactive (as a rule, they are inherited from past layers of culture), they are shared by less than 30% of the Russian population.

* “+” there is a match; “++” there is a good match

Experts have recorded changes in the status-hierarchical structure of 14 basic (terminal and instrumental) values ​​that occurred during the period of reform of Russian society in the 1990s. (Table 3.1).

The peculiarity of values ​​as cultural phenomena is that even opposite values ​​can be combined in the consciousness of one person. Therefore, the typology of people according to the criterion of values ​​is particularly complex and does not coincide with the typology of the population according to socio-professional characteristics. Below is the change in the prevalence of values ​​among Russians from 1990 to 1994, i.e. during the period" of the most dramatic changes in the objective conditions of the social environment (Table 3.2).

Russian society is changing. These changes, in fact, have no historical analogues. The conflict of values ​​in modern Russian society is very complex and multifaceted. Since it is values ​​that are the system-forming component of culture, it is necessary, when analyzing the interaction between them and the social behavior of individuals, to take into account, first of all, changes in the value system. If earlier interaction “went” from needs to values ​​through interests, today, to an increasing extent, the impulse of interaction comes from values ​​to interests and from them to needs.

In this regard, when considering the norms of interaction between individuals, one should also proceed from the system and dynamics of values. Social norms are implemented in human relationships and social interaction. These are unique social standards for establishing modal proper behavior (proper from the point of view of society). They perform the function of integration, ordering the lives of individuals, groups, and society. The main thing about a norm is its prescriptive nature. Compliance with norms leads to the exclusion of the influence of random motives; they provide reliability, standardization, and predictability of behavior. All social norms can be divided into universal (mores, customs), intragroup (rituals), personal, and individual. All norms are impersonal rules of behavior. The degree of their awareness and effectiveness is manifested in the fact that a person knows about the consequences of his actions for other people and recognizes his responsibility for actions in accordance with the norms.

Questions and tasks for review

1. Describe the concept of “value”.

2. What classifications of values ​​do you know?

3. Describe the “value system”

Basic national values ​​are the main content of moral and patriotic development and education.

Society is only able to set and solve large-scale national problems when it has a common system of moral guidelines. And there are these guidelines where they preserve respect for the native language, for the original culture and original cultural values, for the memory of their ancestors, for every page of our national history.

Education plays a key role in the moral and patriotic cohesion of society. School is the only social institution through which all Russian citizens pass. Personal values, of course, are primarily formed in the family. But the most systematic, consistent and deeply moral and patriotic development and upbringing of the individual occurs in the sphere of education. Therefore, it is at school that not only the intellectual, but also the spiritual and cultural life of the student should be concentrated.

A school-age child, especially in elementary school, is most susceptible to development and upbringing, but the shortcomings of this development and upbringing are difficult to make up for in subsequent years. What is experienced and learned in childhood is characterized by great psychological stability.

Education should be focused on achieving a certain ideal. What ideal does the Concept of spiritual and moral development and education of the individual orient us toward?

The modern national educational ideal is a highly moral, creative, competent citizen of Russia, who accepts the fate of the Fatherland as his own, aware of responsibility for the present and future of his country, rooted in the spiritual and cultural traditions of the multinational people of the Russian Federation.

What are our traditional sources of morality? This is Russia, our multinational people and civil society, family, work, art, science, religion, nature¸ humanity. Accordingly, they are determined basic national values:

patriotism– love for one’s small Motherland, one’s people, for Russia, service to the Fatherland;

citizenship– law and order, freedom of conscience and religion, rule of law;

social solidarity– personal and national freedom, trust in people, institutions of the state and civil society, justice, mercy, honor, dignity;

humanity– world peace, diversity of cultures and peoples, human progress, international cooperation,

the science– the value of knowledge, the desire for truth, the scientific picture of the world;

family– love and fidelity, health, prosperity, respect for parents, care for elders and younger ones, care for procreation;

labor and creativity– respect for work, creativity and creation, determination and perseverance;

traditional Russian religions– an idea of ​​faith, spirituality, religious life of a person, tolerance, formed on the basis of interfaith dialogue;

art and literature– beauty, harmony, human spiritual world, moral choice, meaning of life, aesthetic development, ethical development;

nature– evolution, native land, protected nature, planet Earth, environmental consciousness;

Basic values ​​should underlie the way of school life and determine the classroom, extracurricular and extracurricular activities of children.

To organize such a space, it is necessary to interact between the school and the family, public and religious associations, institutions of additional education, culture and sports, and the media. The purpose of this interaction is to jointly provide conditions for the moral and patriotic development and education of students.

Extracurricular activities of schoolchildren is a concept that unites all types of activities of schoolchildren (except academic ones), in which it is possible and appropriate to solve the problems of their upbringing and socialization - this is an integral part of the educational process at school. It contributes to the implementation of the requirements of federal educational standards for general education. Its advantages: providing students with a wide range of activities aimed at developing the student.

First level of results– the schoolchild’s acquisition of social knowledge (about social norms, about the structure of society, about socially approved and disapproved forms of behavior in society, etc.), understanding of social reality and everyday life

Second level of results– the formation of positive attitudes of the student towards the basic values ​​of society (person, family, Fatherland, nature, peace, knowledge, work, culture), a value-based attitude towards social reality as a whole.

Third level of results– the student gains experience of independent social action. “Actions for people and in public” range of activities aimed at the development of the student.
