It was at a young age a person chooses a primary path and the areas in which his life would go.At this time, we determine their own destiny, because another life is not such a possibility provides.
youth as a social group has its own assessment criteria and characteristics that distinguish it from all other groups in society.At the moment, the youth is analyzed in terms of several criteria: age, psychological and social characteristics.Typically, the last two characteristics are considered together:
- Features of emotional susceptibility.
- desire for risk.
- high degree of mobility, and adaptation to the existing situation.
- most desire to express themselves and their strength.
- critical attitude to the older generation and nihilism with respect to present-day reality.
- desire for freedom and the ideal.
youth as a social group goes socializing stage of development as well as educational and civic acquires qualities that it must prepare for the implementation of the "adult" responsibilities.
Note that in domestic social science for a long time it was not seen as a separate social unit.The fact that she did not fit into the definition of the class structure.The first definition of the term "youth" was given in 1968 by V. Lisowski.Then began to appear and other treatment by psychologists and sociologists.
Currently young people as a social group has certain limits: Lower begins with 14 years, and the upper ends when the person reaches the economic and personal independence.
Youth of Russia as well as in other states, different attitude to the maximalist and uncompromising reality of life.This is used by all political parties and leaders who are beginning to skillfully manipulate these features by involving youth leaders in their games before the next election.Of course, today's young people have a certain and clear views on developments in the country, but the politicians are not considered them.
note that today's youth has a number of social problems that appeared to have nothing to do with the public interest.The current policy with respect to this category of people is feasible only on paper.
youth as a social group is not homogeneous: it is divided according to place of residence (rural and urban), and social status relative to the subculture.
Since the problems of society are dynamic, they are projected on young people.Since they are the most vulnerable to the conditions of reality, the situation is further exacerbated.
And this applies to almost all spheres of life.Note that the life of today's young people is exacerbated by the fact that the state does not pay due attention to young families, they do not provide the necessary support.After all, parents are not always able to help their children, and the market system led to the development of such problems.
Note also that conflict develops with the older generation, which not only does not help the socialization of young people, but also is an obstacle in the movement of the process.In particular, an increasing number of conflict situations and manifestations of deviant behavior.
also becomes noticeable decline in interest in the work of the younger generation, because at the moment it becomes problematic to meet their needs due diligent work for the benefit of society.
Because now the youth as a social group is considered the least secure both politically and socially.And this can not but affect her perception of reality and behavioral reactions.
