We often use the expression, based on the word "value".Discuss wealth, we complain about the lack of spiritual, political criticize.But if we reflect on what it means to the concept of "value"?The definition says that that word understand the importance of (financial, political, spiritual, etc.) Of a group of objects.This word is also referred to:
- qualitative characteristics of objects that define its importance;
- monetary expression of value of anything;
- properties phenomena subject object in terms of its harmfulness or usefulness.
To avoid confusion in terms of value, scientists have proposed a classification that takes into account the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the concept.
According to the systematization of G. Allport (and there are other typologies) all values are divided into
- theoretical, giving the leading role the search for truth and rational thinking;
- economic, putting in the first place benefit and advantage;
- social, preferring human manifestations: tolerance, love, devotion, and so on. N .;
- aesthetic evaluating the rest with the position of beauty, harmony;
- political, preferring only power;
- religious, including blind adherence to the faith.
However, not all agree with this typology.Most scientists believe that the paramount importance to absolutely all peoples have cultural values.
What is this concept?How to interpret it, sociologists and other representatives of the scientific world?
cultural values - is the property belonging to a certain group: social, ethnic, and so on.. All they can be expressed in certain art forms: verbal creativity, artistic images, dances, songs, creative, application views.
In our country there is a whole structure of the concept of "cultural values" fixed in the legislation.In accordance with the laws of the Russian Federation in this concept include:
- works of culture and art;
- crafts, crafts;
- standards of conduct;
- national or vernacular, local dialects, they all say;
- place names (names of geographical objects);
- folklore;
- all the methods, techniques and research findings;
- buildings, territory, technology, and so on. N .;
- objects of cultural, historical or scientific value.
Cultural Values Russia (as, indeed, all countries), protected by the state.That it regulates the importation or exportation of objects, determines the rules for their acquisition, possession, sale.
However, cultural values, according to some experts, it is not just the historical crafts, objects or methods.Cultural values are the only ones that have a certain impact on the psyche of the person for the purpose of conveying information to offspring.It may be information about the ideology, spirituality and beliefs - all those phenomena which are difficult to tell in another way.
cultural values - the concept of a non-uniform.They may be different even in the same time for different sectors of society.A striking example of this: historical temples.For the majority in our country, they were perhaps the most important cultural treasures.However, the young Soviet power, they were not only of little value.The Bolsheviks regarded them as harmful, and therefore destroyed.So it was lost unique works of architecture that characterized the entire period.However, the lost were not only churches: the sad fate befell many crafts, as well as the languages and cultures of small nations.
To historical monuments are not destroyed, and the kinds of crafts and arts that are the heritage of the peoples or nations, are not lost, the legislation of the Russian Federation and gives a precise definition of the concept of "cultural values of Russia."
