Social problems of youth as a reflection of social problems of society
We often pay attention to the social problems of modern society, to questions and needs that concern, if not the entire population, the greater part of it accurately. Well, if there are such common problems, then we are not alone. This fact gives us the opportunity to unite in the name of resolving such issues and gives a signal to resolve them.
Social problems of society arose periodically in all civilizations and in all epochs. Can military power be justified by the lack of intelligence among the population? Can the slogan "the end justify the means" so cruelly and cruelly be embodied in life? Is it possible in the name of imaginary power to neglect the life and happiness of children, their right to normal childhood? Such a society is hurt by the incorrigible lack of morality. This, of course, is about Sparta. Although not only this ancient Greek politician faced similar problems.
The absence of moral concepts in society always leads to shocks within such a society. "Bloody Legislation" in England The Tudors fought with vagrants in the XV-XVI century. Such examples can be built into a long list, but they are united by one feature - none of them solved the problem at the root. In addition, humanity has never learned to use the experience of previous generations. Again and again we attack the same rake.
For example, in our time, the social problems of youth as never before make themselves felt, being a projection of all social problems. The first of these should be called paid higher education. No, definitely, in universities there are so-called "free-of-charge". However, often these places are also "corrupt". Hence, it is concluded that in order to obtain a higher education, not so much knowledge and ability as a thick parent's purse are required.
Further, the social problems of young people are limited to jobs. It is difficult to get a job for elderly people, young without experience. It is almost impossible to find work for pregnant women and mothers with young children. Even under the existing law, allegedly protecting motherhood, pregnant women are being laid off. Of course, this is not so obvious, but not all receive "maternity" payments.
Closed municipal kindergartens, huge queues for getting a place in the still existing preschool institutions, huge "entrance fees" for the registration of the baby - all these are also the social problems of the youth. At the present stage, they are particularly acute. Are these the social problems of young people that should be solved in the very near future?
The fact is that society is based on relations between individuals. And the family, in which everything is also built on the relations of its members, is in a sense a micromodel of society as a whole. Maybe, it is from her that the fate of the whole society depends?
And, of course, we can not avoid the issue of the fall of morals. The solution to this problem originates in the family. Why? Perhaps, because it gives the child life, upbringing, and prepares for relationships with other members of society (this is ideal). The child grows up and is ready to form his own family, and so on the chain generation after generation. So the fundamentals are always formed in the family.
But today the whole country marks the fact that alcoholism, prostitution, drug addiction, theft, murders blossom in modern society in double color. Moreover, the age indices in relation to these phenomena "become younger" with each passing year.
This is an alarming signal that arose even with the collapse of the USSR, when the younger generation turned out to be of no use to anyone, as, in general, the adult population. Hence the moral degradation, the loss of ideals, aspirations, the substitution of moral values, took its roots .
Although to date, everything is different. This in the 90's opportunities were limited. And now? They are becoming more and more young people, however, many young people are still not interested in anything.
Television, the Internet, the media contributes not to the moral growth of the personality, but to its fall into the abyss. The norm was the humor "below the belt" sounding from the scene, the forbidden words are openly pronounced and written in the newspapers. For us, politeness and elementary etiquette has become a rarity, the silly dictate the smart rules of life, because the smart in the minority.
And if we take into account both the problem of child alcoholism and drug addiction, the hope for a bright future is lost altogether. How did we come to such a fall of morality that parents become indifferent to their own children? And they need care!
No one will solve the problems of the whole society, nor the social problems of the youth in particular. Yes, they should be decided by everyone, but everyone should start with himself. Then, maybe, and there will be a hope for something bright and good there, ahead.
