YOUTH.

Youth- this is a generation of people going through the stage of growing up, i.e. the formation of personality, the assimilation of knowledge, social values ​​and norms necessary in order to take place as a full-fledged and full-fledged member of society.

Youth it is customary to call the period in a person's life from 14 to 30 years - between childhood and adulthood

WITH perspectives of leading activities, then this period coincides with the completion education(educational activities) and entry into working life

From point of viewpsychology youth is a period finding your self, the assertion of a person as an individual, unique personality; the process of finding your own special way to achieve success and happiness.

From the standpoint of law youth is the time of the onset civil majority(in Russia - 18 years). An adult receives full legal capacity, i.e. the opportunity to enjoy all the rights of a citizen (electoral rights, the right to enter into a legal marriage, etc.) At the same time, a young man assumes certain duties, among which - observance of laws, payment of taxes, caring for disabled family members, protection of the Fatherland.

From a general philosophical point of view youth can be seen as time of opportunity, the time of striving for the future. From this position, youth is a period of instability, change, criticality, and a constant search for novelty. The interests of young people lie on a different plane than the interests of older generations: young people, as a rule, do not want to obey traditions and customs - they want to transform the world, assert their innovative values.

Thus, youth- This is a specific socio-demographic group, the nature of which is determined by a set of age characteristics, characteristics of social status and a special psychological makeup.

Teenager's problems

  • Economic.

Young people are not well-off financially, does not have her own home, is forced to rely on financial assistance from her parents. The salaries of young people are much lower than the average salary, and the student scholarship is also extremely small.

  • Spiritual.

The society is increasing moral loss process, erosion of traditional norms and values. Young people as a transitional and unstable social group are most vulnerable to the negative trends of our time. Thus, the values ​​of labor, freedom, democracy, interethnic tolerance are gradually decreasing, and they are being replaced by consumer attitude to the world, intolerance to strangers, herd. At the same time, an avalanche-like criminalization of young people is taking place, the number of young people with social disabilities, such as alcoholism, drug addiction, and prostitution, is growing.

  • The most important problem remains the problem of fathers and children», Associated with the conflict of values ​​between young people and the older generation.

More generally generation is an objectively emerging socio-demographic and cultural-historical community of people united by age and common historical living conditions. To refer to people who have had some kind of demographic event in the same year (birth, marriage, divorce), use the concept cohort... For example, people born in the same year make up age cohort.

Compliance with the norms and traditions of the older generation ensures the maintenance of the stability of society. But traditional norms can become outdated - then they will play a destabilizing role. The same goes for innovations: some of them can be useful for society, and some are destructive for it. Therefore, it is important to distinguish between which values ​​should be maintained and which should be discarded.

Youth, on the one hand, is unprotected group, which is, rather, a destabilizing force in society, and on the other - this generation, on which depends future of the country... This special status of young people gives rise to the need for an adequate youth policy capable of solving or alleviating existing problems, as well as directing the creative potential of young people into a creative channel.

  • relative stability, a certain hierarchy among group members;
  • expression of other value orientations or even worldviews, stereotypes of behavior that are not typical for society as a whole;
  • attributes that emphasize belonging to a given community.
