Cultural space as a factor in the formation of value orientations of young people

Abstract

The article considers the role of cultural space in the formation of value orientations of modern youth. The vectors of the influence of cultural space on the formation of value orientations were analyzed, three levels of the influence of cultural space on the formation of value orientations (macro, meso and micro levels) were characterized. The influence of cultural space can be significant, but not always consistent with the dominant values of society. In this regard, it is necessary to study the forms, methods and mechanisms of this influence, and not reject its existence. The direct impact of cultural space on the process of forming youth value orientations consists in conscious self-regulation of individual value orientations of young people in a specific sociocultural environment of society. The main characteristics of the modern cultural space of Russian youth should be used as a basis for the formation and implementation of youth policy, respectively. Such characteristics include: blurred boundaries (including the boundaries of social norms), reduction of high culture in favor of mass consumer and virtualization of interaction with cultural objects.
