During the classes
I. Organizing time
They (teenagers) today adore luxury, they have bad manners and no respect for authority, they show disrespect for elders, loitering around and constantly gossiping. He argues with his parents all the time, they constantly interfere in conversations and attract attention to themselves, they are gluttonous and tyrannize teachers ... (slide1)
It said ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, who lived in 470-399. BC e.
How are young people doing today? How do people around her treat her?
Some representatives of the older generation believe that a significant part of today's youth does not live, but resides, does not work, but earns extra money, does not work, but pretends to. Is it so? Let's try to deal with this problem in today's lesson.
Lesson topic: "Youth in modern society." (slide 2)
Lesson plan
1. Youth as a social group.
2. The process of socialization of youth.
3. Problems of youth.
4. Summing up the lessons.
II. Learning new material
1. Youth as a social group
The concept of "youth" is not so much age as social and historical. AT different time and in different societies, young people of different ages fell into this category. For example, those whom we now call youth, a century ago, were not considered such at all.
AT modern world Youth as a social group is usually referred to people aged 16 to 25 years. For a person of this age, his inner world, his own thoughts, feelings, awareness of his uniqueness are becoming increasingly important.
Social scientists give the following definition of youth as a social group:
The youth- this is a socio-demographic group, allocated on the basis of a combination of age characteristics (approximately from 16 to 25 years (30), characteristics of social status and certain socio-psychological qualities .(slide3)
Why youth as a special social group began to be perceived by society only with the transition to the industrial phase of development ? (slide 4)
Find the answer to this question on p. 125 textbook.
(An approximate answer. 1. - The deepening of labor caused by the industrial revolution separated the family from the production process and the management of social processes. This made family education insufficient for mastering social roles.
2. The complication of technology, the growing specialization required, in order to master the necessary knowledge, the skills of lengthening the period of general education, so young people began to enter the labor market later.
3. The growth of people's mobility, the complication of social life, the acceleration of the pace of social change led to the fact that the way of life of the older and younger generations began to differ significantly.)
2. The process of socialization of youth
How is the process of socialization, i.e. growing up?
What challenges do young people face along the way?
Divide into three groups and, working with the textbook, characterize and analyze the process of youth socialization; identify the problems that young people have to face.
The first group is civil majority (paragraph 2 of § 13). ( slides 5,6,7,8)
The second group - education and training
(paragraph 3 § 13).
The third group - the beginning labor activity(paragraph 4 § 13).
Questions for the first group
1. From what period, according to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, can a citizen independently exercise his rights and obligations in full?
2. What rights and freedoms does a young person get?
3. At what age can young people get married? Are there exceptions?
4. What does full legal capacity mean?
5. What civic obligations should a young citizen of the Russian Federation perform?
6. How status changes young man with civil age?
7. Is it easy to be young?
Questions for the second group
1. What testifies to the preservation of the prestige of education in our society?
2. On what principles is education built in our society? Do you think they are fair?
3. How do you feel about the emergence of private educational institutions and the partial operation of state educational institutions on a paid, commercial basis?
4. Pick up the arguments "for" paid education in Russia and "against" it.
5. What risks await first-year students who have entered universities? Can and should we fight it?
6. Is it easy to be young?
Questions for the third group
1. When do teenagers start thinking about work?
2. What do you think underlies their choice of future profession?
3. Prove that the current situation in terms of employment opportunities is very difficult and contradictory.
4. What factors of the current socio-economic situation in our country contribute, and what hinder the employment of young people?
5. What benefits at work are provided for minors?
6. Is it easy to be young? slide9
3. Problems of youth.
So, it's not easy being young..
The lesson continues with a challenging question: “Is it easy to be young?”
The class is invited to take a position on this issue, unite in groups, discuss and argue their position. After two minutes, each group defends its position. During the discussion, three groups are formed: one believes that it is easy to be young; the other is that being young is not easy; third, being young is easy and not easy. After the discussion, the teacher does the conclusion that being young is easy, but problematic.
A sociological survey among young people aged 16 to 20 years is conducted for the lesson. Most of the respondents believe that being young is easy. And to the question: “Do you have problems?”, out of forty respondents, only ten have no problems. (The data of the sociological survey are posted on a blackboard or displayed on a multimedia board; Kubekova Evg., Kulmanova Gilyan) slides 10,11,12,13.
Separate social groups are characterized by special features of consciousness, behavior, and lifestyle. They create their own cultural niche - a subculture. The youth was no exception - they also created their own subculture. (Nyudlya Lidzhieva, Delya Dorjieva) slides14
Youth subculture has:
With your tongue;
special fashion;
Art and style.
Its carriers are most often informal teenage groups.
What do you think motivates young people to create a subculture? (An approximate answer. Inner loneliness. Need for friends. Conflicts at school and at home. Distrust of adults. Protest against lies. Escape from social reality or rejection of it.)
111 . Summary of lessons
Divide into groups. Group members receive leaflets with expressions reflecting the attitude towards young people of various social groups:
“Eggs do not teach chicken” (“Parents”);
"Young-green" ("Older generation");
“Hello, we are looking for talent!” ("Teachers");
“Young people are always dear to us!” ("The youth").
1. You must determine which group the given
expression.
As a result, four groups are formed: "Parents", "Youth", "Teachers" and "Older Generation".
2. Interactive exercise. Groups are tasked with:
Depict schematically or with the help of a drawing a portrait of a modern young person in accordance with the views characteristic of a given social group (“parents”, “teachers”, “older generation”, “youth”);
Prepare a presentation according to your scheme or drawing, in which you indicate what guided you when creating a portrait.
So, the presentations allowed us to draw the following conclusions:
it is impossible to unequivocally judge today's youth;
young people in our society are heterogeneous, have different goals and value orientations;
the problem of youth has been relevant at all times;
There are many problems in the life of modern young people that require attention and resolution.
Learn § 13, compose a syncwine on the topic “Modern youth - what is it like?”
Youth is a large socio-demographic group that unites individuals on the basis of socio-psychological, age, economic characteristics.
Youth in modern society
From a psychological point of view, youth is a period of formation of self-awareness, a stable system of values, as well as social status. Young people represent the most valuable and at the same time the most problematic part of society.
The value of the younger generation lies in the fact that, as a rule, its representatives have an increased sense of purpose, the ability to assimilate large amounts of information, originality and critical thinking.
However, these advantages give rise to certain problems of the implementation and existence of young people in society. So critical thinking is often directed not to the search for truth, but to the categorical rejection of already existing norms and dogmas that guide other members of society.
Today's youth are also characterized by new negative qualities that were absent from their predecessors, in particular, detachment from the outside world, unwillingness to work, increased negativism.
Youth as a social group
Often, the term "youth" means a large social group, which consists of persons from 16 to 25 years old. The boundaries of youth age can be mobile: so in developed countries The youth group includes people aged 14-30.
This social group is influenced by such social institutions as a school, university, family, labor collective, spontaneous groups and means mass media.
Development of social roles in adolescence
In adolescence, each person is faced with the need to change their social role. Often, the first seed of a social role occurs at the moment of graduation: the student acquires the status of a student.
It should be noted that before this time the student already occupies certain social positions (daughter, son, sister, brother). In the future, with their preservation, in adolescence, the status of an employee is acquired.
As statistics show, today many teenagers acquire the status of an employee earlier than the status of a student. This is the reason for the unstable economic situation.
youth subculture
A youth subculture is a part of the culture of a society whose members differ in their behavior from the vast majority, and as a rule are representatives of the youth.
Youth subculture is a broad concept that includes many cultures that have their own value system of behavior. Youth subcultures are formed under the influence of socio-economic changes.
Reaches physical maturity at an average of 14 years. Around this age, in ancient societies, children underwent the rite initiation- initiations into the number of adult members of the tribe. However, as society became more advanced and complex, it took more than just physical maturity to be considered an adult. It is assumed that an accomplished person must acquire the necessary knowledge about the world and society, acquire professional skills, learn to provide for himself and his own, etc. Since the amount of knowledge and skills in the course of history has continuously increased, the moment of acquiring the status of an adult was gradually pushed back to a later age. Currently, this moment corresponds to about 30 years.
youth It is customary to call the period in a person's life from 14 to 30 years - between childhood and adulthood.
Accordingly, representatives of the demographic group whose age fits into these time frames are called youth. However, age is not the decisive criterion for defining youth: the temporal boundaries of youth age are mobile and determined by the social and cultural conditions of growing up. For a correct understanding of the characteristics of young people, attention should be focused not on the demographic criterion, but on the socio-psychological one.
The youth is a generation of people going through the stage of growing up, i.e. the formation of the individual, the assimilation of knowledge, social values and norms necessary in order to take place as a full-fledged and full member of society.
Youth has a number of features that distinguish it from other ages. By its very nature, youth is transitional"suspended" state between childhood and adulthood. In some matters, young people are quite mature, serious and responsible, while in others they are naive, limited and infantile. This duality determines a number of contradictions and problems inherent in this age.
growing up- this is primarily the assimilation of knowledge and skills and the first attempts to apply them in practice.
If we consider youth from the point of view of leading activities, then this period coincides with the end of education (learning activities) and entry into working life ().
Youth policy system is made up of three components:
- legal conditions for the implementation of youth policy (ie the relevant legal framework);
- forms of regulation of youth policy;
- information and material and financial support of youth policy.
The main directions of youth policy are:
- youth involvement in public life, informing her about potential development opportunities;
- development of creative activity of youth, support of talented youth;
- integration of young people who find themselves in a difficult life situation into a full life.
These areas are implemented in a number of specific programs: legal advice, popularization of universal human values, propaganda, organization of international youth interaction, support for volunteer initiatives, assistance in finding employment, strengthening young families, increasing civic engagement, helping young people in difficult situation etc. If desired, every young person is able to find in the media all the necessary information about current projects and choose those that can help in solving his specific problems.

1. Introduction
The problems of the Russian youth, in their essence, are the problems not only of the modern young generation, but of the whole society as a whole, on the solution of which not only today, but also the future of our society depends. On the one hand, these problems are interrelated and come from the objective processes taking place in the modern world - the processes of globalization, informatization, urbanization, etc. On the other hand, they have their own specifics, mediated by modern Russian reality and carried out in relation to youth, youth policy.

Problem: I do not know the problems and desires of today's youth in Isaklinsky district.
Hypothesis: I assume that the problem of modern youth in the Isaklinsky district is connected with the spiritual and moral sphere and prefers material well-being.
Purpose of the study: To study the problems and desires of modern youth in the village of Isakly.
Tasks:
To study the youth of the USSR.
To identify and study the problems of modern youth.

Problems and desires of modern youth.
Youth of the Isaklinsky district.
Research methods:
In the course of the study, various search methods were used (collection of information on the topic), practical work(conducting a survey among the youth of the Isaklinsky district), analysis, ICT (creating a presentation).
2. Theoretical part
Soviet youth
At the state level, there was a children's All-Union pioneer organizationand the youth Komsomol organization of the Komsomol( ), whose activities were of a state and all-encompassing nature. Pioneer squads existed in every school, admission was carried out from the age of 9. Before the Pioneer Organization, children from the age of 7 were accepted as pioneers in younger groups.
The Pioneer organization provided Soviet children with free, massive after-school leisure activities with the help of various thematic circles, clubs and . School pioneer detachments were divided into units of 4-7 pioneers in each, members of the units provided each other with mutual assistance in their studies, units, units and squads competed with each other for the best performance in studies, behavior, collection of scrap metal and waste paper, etc.
The Party paid much attention to the health of the younger generation. In the summer, the pioneers went to suburban Pioneer camps, created as a sanatorium-and-spa summer vacation.
From the age of 14, pioneers were accepted into s(youth organization of the Komsomol). After graduating from school and entering the Komsomol in secondary or a higher educational institution, the Komsomol member was fixed in the local Komsomol cell of his educational institution and participated in social and cultural activities.
New generation
The process of formation of modern Russian youth took place and is taking place in the conditions of breaking the "old" values Soviet period and formation new system values and new social relations. In the context of the systemic crisis of modern Russian society and its main institutions, which has affected all spheres of life, the institutions of socialization (family and family education, the system of education and upbringing, institutions of labor and labor activity, the army), the state itself. Active planting and substitution of the foundations of the existence of civil society with the standards of the consumer society, the education of a young person, not as a citizen, but as a simple consumer of certain goods and services. There is a tendency towards dehumanization and demoralization of the content of art (decrease, deformation, destruction of the image of a person), substitution of the norms of the value of high culture with average samples of mass consumer culture, reorientation of young people from collectivist spiritual values to selfish-individual values.
Against the background of the ideological uncertainty of young people (their lack of ideological foundations of sense orientation and socio-cultural identification), commercialization and the negative influence of the media (forming the "image" of the subculture), the ongoing spiritual aggression of the West and the expansion of mass commercial culture, the imposition of standards and psychology of the consumer society, there is primitivization of the meaning of human existence, moral degradation of the individual and a decrease in the value of human life. There is an erosion of value foundations and traditional forms of public morality, a weakening and destruction of the mechanisms of cultural continuity, a threat to the preservation of the originality of national culture, a decrease in youth interest in national culture, its history, traditions, and carriers of national identity.
These factors, combined with the processes of differentiation and material stratification of society that arose during the transition to market relations, naturally lead to confusion, apathy, pessimism of young people, their disbelief in the future, the ability to realize their interests in no other way than deviating from moral and legal norms. . They stimulate asocial and illegal forms of self-realization of youth (growth of criminal manifestations in the youth environment, alienation from work, alcoholism, drug addiction, prostitution); development of counterculture in the content of youth subculture; desire to participate in informal youth associations; increased tension and aggressiveness, the growth of extremism among the youth.
In the context of the outbreak of the global crisis, all the indicated problematic circumstances in the development of youth can be used by destructive forces to destabilize the situation in Russia and carry out another "orange revolution", which our government rightly fears. Without paying due attention to the education of young citizens and the creation of the foundations of civil society, the state largely contributed to the establishment of consumer society standards in our society and the education of consumers, but clearly did not expect that those in power themselves could become a “product” for these consumers.
The youth environment, due to its age, socio-psychological and worldview characteristics, is in dire need of sociocultural identification, and therefore, to a greater extent than other social and age groups, is susceptible to transformational processes associated with the assimilation of value systems, norms that form certain forms of behavior. The process of social development of young people, their choice life path and development strategies, is carried out through training and education, assimilation and transformation of the experience of older generations. Youth is a period of active formation of a stable system of values, the formation of self-consciousness and the social status of an individual. Value orientations, social norms and attitudes of young people "determine the type of consciousness, the nature of activity, the specifics of the problems, needs, interests, expectations of young people, typical patterns of behavior." In general, the position of young people in society is characterized as extremely unstable and contradictory. On the one hand, it represents the most mobile, dynamic part of our society; on the other hand, due to the limited nature of its practical, creative activity, the incomplete involvement of a young person in the system of social relations - the most socially unprepared, and therefore vulnerable part of it.
The implementation of the life plans of young people and the opportunities provided to them largely depend on the material resources of their parents, on the basis of which certain intergenerational contradictions may arise. "Parents often become the main culprits of unrealized market claims and consumer ambitions of their children." In youth consciousness and behavior, contradictory features and qualities can be combined in the most bizarre way: the desire for identification and isolation, conformism and negativism, imitation and denial of generally accepted norms, the desire for communication and withdrawal, detachment from the outside world.
In a society where material well-being and enrichment become the priority goals of its existence, the culture and value orientations of young people are formed accordingly. Consumer orientations prevail in the socio-cultural values of today's youth. The cult of fashion and consumption gradually and gradually takes over the minds of young people, acquiring a universal character.
The tendency to strengthen the processes of standardization of cultural consumption and leisure behavior, approved by a passive-consumer attitude towards culture, begins to prevail. It is impossible not to note the underlined apathy of modern youth, which soberly and without false hopes evaluates the attitude towards itself on the part of the state and society as indifferent and frankly consumeristic. “77% of respondents believe that: - “When necessary, they remember us.” Maybe that's why today's young generation is closed in their own world. Young people are absorbed in the internal problems of survival in difficult and cruel times. They seek the culture and education that will help them endure and succeed.
Speaking of youth, of course, one cannot fail to note its certain positive features. Modern youth in general is very patriotic, they believe in the future of Russia. He advocates the continuation of changes in the direction of increasing the socio-economic well-being of the country, the creation of civil society and the rule of law. She wants to live in a great country that provides a decent life for its citizens, respecting their rights and freedoms.
Comparative characteristics of the Soviet
and modern youth
Modern youth is easier to adapt to new economic conditions, it has become more rational, pragmatic and realistic, focused on sustainable development and creative work.
She has a much greater freedom of choice of profession, patterns of behavior, life companions, style of thinking, compared to her peers 20-30 years ago. But this, as they say, is one side of the coin. Its other side shows that the ongoing "Time of Troubles" has most acutely affected the younger generation. Our society is rapidly aging, there is a reduction in the number of young people, the number of young families, the number of children born. Each new generation of young people is less healthy than the youth Soviet Union, diseases "moved" from old age to youth, endangering the gene pool of the nation. The socio-economic pressure on jobs has increased in order to ensure the life of all generations; the intellectual potential of young people, the innovative capabilities of society are rapidly declining. The youth turned out to be the most socially disadvantaged part of society. There is a clear conflict between the interests of youth and real opportunities social mobility. There was a sharp differentiation and social polarization of young people, based on property stratification, social origin and their own social status of young people.
Possessing social, age and subcultural characteristics of different communities, they differ in material capabilities, value orientations, image and lifestyle. The question arose about the life prospects of young people: their creative self-realization (education, profession, career), well-being, the ability to financially provide for their future family. There are obvious problems of youth employment, deterioration of their material and living conditions, accessibility of education. The youth environment has become a dangerous crime zone.
There has been a sharp rejuvenation of crime, an increase in its group character, an increase in the number of "women's" crimes and crimes committed by minors. Each new generation of youth compared to previous generations according to the main indicators of social status and development: much less spiritually and culturally developed, more immoral and criminal, distant from knowledge and education, less professionally trained and focused on work.
3. Practical part
Study of youth in the territory
Isaklinsky district
The main practical task of my work is to study modern youth on the territory of the Isklino region. To solve this problem, I conducted a survey among high school students of the secondary school with. Isakla. After reviewing the data, I created a pivot table.
According to the results of surveys conducted in 2013 in the GBOU secondary school with. Isakly among high school students, 53% of Isakly youth: “What life goals, in your opinion, do modern youth most often set for themselves?” First of all, they noted her desire to achieve material well-being and enrichment; in the second place (19%) - education; in the third place (17%) - work and career. The analysis of the data obtained indicates a clear pragmatic and rational position of young people, their desire to achieve material well-being and a successful career, interconnected with the possibility of obtaining a good professional education. (See Appendix 1)
For modern youth as a whole, a change in the direction of life orientations from the social (collectivist) component to the individual is characteristic. “The personal value position of young people does not correlate with the values of the political ideology they prefer.
Material well-being began to be valued much higher than freedom, the value of wages began to prevail over the value of interesting work. Among the social problems that most worry young people at the present time, in the first place are such problems as: rising crime, rising prices, inflation, increased levels of corruption in government structures, increasing income inequality and social inequality, division into rich and poor, environmental problems , passivity of citizens, their indifferent attitude to what is happening. Of the various problems experienced by young people, the problems of material security and health are brought to the fore, although the orientation towards healthy lifestyle life is formed insufficiently actively. (See Appendix 2)
According to the results of a study conducted in 2013 at the secondary school in the village of Isakly among the senior classes, the hierarchy of the dominant values of the Isakly youth is built as follows:
Material well-being.
The value of "I" (individualism).
Career (self-realization).
Family.
Stability.
Freedom.
Respect for elders.
God (faith in God).
Patriotism.
Duty and honor.
Characterizing the youth consciousness and the system of values of modern Russian youth, we can distinguish:
Predominantly entertaining and recreational orientation of its life values and interests
Westernization of cultural needs and interests, displacement of the values of national culture by Western patterns of behavior and symbols
Priority of consumer orientations over creative, constructive
Weak individualization and selectivity of culture associated with the dictates of group stereotypes
Extra-institutional cultural self-realization
Lack of ethnocultural self-identification.
The dominance of consumer value orientations inevitably affects the life strategy of young people. The results of the analysis of the results of sociological studies conducted in 2013 among high school students of the Isaklinskaya school showed that: “Currently, in the youth environment, in society, one can meet ambiguous life principles. The data obtained allow us to draw a conclusion about the dysfunction in the youth environment and require a more detailed study. A rather high degree of indifference of young people to such traditionally negative phenomena as opportunism, indifference, unscrupulousness, consumerism, an idle lifestyle and their positive assessment is noteworthy. (See Appendix 3)
All of the above problematic features of the modern youth socio-cultural environment unequivocally testify to the alarming trend of deep and systemic social degradation of a significant part of modern Russian youth, in particular, and our entire society as a whole. The youth environment clearly copies and mirrors in itself all the most significant processes taking place in our society. The systemic crisis in which our society and state are still living, which have not clearly and clearly formulated the national idea and have not defined their development strategy, has led to them losing the meaning of their own existence and immediately affected the youth environment. In it, as in modern Russian society, in general, there is definitely no single, well-established system and hierarchy of values. At the same time, one can observe the coexistence of two processes: both the continuity of traditional values that historically belonged to our society, and the formation, mass dissemination of new liberal (consumer) interests, the triumph of anti-values.
The improvement of the youth environment, which forms the value orientations of modern Russian youth, can be carried out by improving the system, forms, methods of implementing youth policy in the Russian Federation.
4. Conclusion
The problems of modern youth have long been one of the most actual problems society as a whole, because the future of the whole world depends on the decision of the younger generation.
In this work, I am trying to study modern youth in the Isaklinsky district, to identify their problems, goals and desires. But in order to make an accurate result, I also learned about the Soviet youth. She made a comparative description of the youth of the USSR and the younger generation. Identified the causes of youth change. The reasons are as follows: the ideological uncertainty of young people (their lack of ideological foundations of sense orientation and socio-cultural identification), commercialization and the negative influence of the media (forming the "image" of the subculture), the ongoing spiritual aggression of the West and the expansion of mass commercial culture, the imposition of standards and psychology of the consumer society.
Of particular value are the surveys I conducted with high school students. I have thoroughly studied the younger generation in our area. Analyzed the survey results.
I was held research, during which I came to the following conclusions:
The main goal of modern youth is material well-being, enrichment
From the survey "Distribution of the basic values of young people", only 2.7% are occupied by ideals and faith, this proves to us that the problem of modern youth is connected with the spiritual and moral sphere
Priority of consumer orientations over creative, constructive
Modern youth in general is very patriotic, believes in the future of Russia
Modern youth has great freedom in choosing a profession, behavior patterns, life partners, and thinking style.
After studying the problems, I came to next conclusion: young people in the Isaklinsky district lack organized leisure activities, consisting of creative evenings, visits to cinemas, gyms, gyms, flash mobs, circles, sections (where informal communication prevailed, which would attract young people).
As I expected, modern youth prefers material well-being, and the spiritual and moral sphere is in last place.

Teacher's word: Well done guys, now listen carefully to the following statement.
The word of the teacher (slide 5).... Speaking before the meeting of the Medical Society of Dortmund (1979), Dr. Ronald Gibson began his report with four quotations that belonged to a philosopher, poet, politician and priest.
Philosopher:“They (young people) today adore luxury, they have bad manners and no respect for authority, they express disrespect for elders, loitering around and constantly gossiping. They argue with their parents all the time, they constantly interfere in conversations and attract attention to themselves, they greedily swallow food and harass teachers ... "
Poet:“I have lost all hope for the future of our country if today's youth take the reins of government tomorrow. This youth is unbearable, unrestrained, just awful.”
Politician:“Our youth is corrupted to the core, it will never be like the youth of the past. The younger generation of today will not be able to preserve our culture.”
Priest:“Our world has reached a critical stage. Children no longer listen to their parents. Apparently, the end of the world is not far off.”
Teacher's word: Do you agree with this characterization of today's youth?
Teacher's word: The paradox is that the first statement belongs to the philosopher Socrates, who lived in 470-399. BC e. The second - to the first known ancient Greek poet Hesiod, who lived in the VIII-VII centuries. BC e. The third was found in a clay pot, kept for 3000 years in the ruins of Babylon. The last - to the Egyptian priest. The papyrus scroll with this inscription is about 4000 years old. It is also curious that all these great civilizations perished.
How are young people doing today? How do people around her treat her? Some representatives of the older generation believe that a significant part of today's youth does not live, but resides, does not work, but earns extra money, does not work, but pretends to. Is it so? Let's try to deal with this problem in today's lesson.
Teacher's word: I propose to consider the following lesson plan (slide 6):
Plan.
1. Youth as a social group.
2. Youth is the renewing force of society.
3. Youth subculture.
4. Is it easy to be young? Problems of modern youth.
III . Learning new material.
1. Youth as a social group.
“Take a position” (What do you think? slide 7):
How are young people different from other social groups?
Who is included in the youth category?
The word of the teacher (slide 8).
The youth- a large socio-demographic group, distinguished on the basis of age characteristics, characteristics of social status, socio-psychological properties, which are determined by the system, culture, patterns of socialization, education of a given society. Age limits of youth from 14-16 to 25-30 years.
The boundaries of youth are individual for everyone. There are circumstances in life that make a person grow up earlier. And there are adults who have physical and mental traits that are characteristic of childhood - infantilism. Therefore, very often they say young "old people" or "eternal" youth. But, anyway, the conclusion can be drawn as follows:
YOUTH is a feeling that necessarily manifests itself both in appearance and in human behavior.
Teacher's word: Let's turn to statistics (slide 9).
From total number world population equal to 7.584 billion people. the young population is 1.8 billion people. There have never been so many young people on Earth! Along with young people, the demand for education and jobs is growing.
Almost 90% of all young people live in the developing world - Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America.
In Afghanistan, Nigeria, Chad and Uganda, 50% of the population is under 18!
The share of young people in the developed world continues to decline.
Teacher's word: What social roles do young people play? (slide 10)
- Features of the social status (slide 11), write in a notebook.
2. Youth is the renewing force of society.
Youth is the engine of progress, that the future is behind the youth. Is it so? What is today's youth? What can older generations learn from her? How has the age of new technologies and the entertainment industry changed the youth?
Presentation of the work "15 facts about modern youth". (slide 12)
Teacher's word: Are there sufficient grounds to assert that youth is the renewing force of society?
YES, because...
NO because...
Teacher's word: Based on the existing ideas and the knowledge gained, let's fill in the collage "What is it like today's youth?" (slide 13)
3. Youth subculture. (slide 14)
Teacher's word: Separate social groups are characterized by special features of consciousness, behavior, and lifestyle. They create their own cultural niche - a subculture. The youth was no exception - they also created their own culture. Youth subculture is a phenomenon characteristic of the industrial and post-industrial stages of development of any type of culture. It performs the functions of socialization of young people, solves the problems of generational conflict and obeys the unified laws of development.
Presentation of the message: "Youth subculture". (slide 14)
Teacher's word: What motivates young people to create a subculture?
4. Is it easy to be young? Problems of modern youth. (slide 15)
Teacher's word: And now we will try to deal with rhetorical question"Is it easy to be young?" What are the challenges faced by today's youth? How does she try to solve them, how does she live, why is she sick, what does she think about?
Presentation of results (video clip);
Sociological survey (slide 16)
- "10 sentences" homework (by time).
IV . Fixing the material.
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION (slide 17):
2. How do the social roles of a person change in young years?
3. What does the concept of "youth subculture" include? Why is it necessary to have such cultures?
4. What problems do today's youth face in their lives?
V . Summing up the lesson.
1. Answer in one sentence: "What does it mean to be young"? (slide 18)
2. "House of life" (slide 19)
Teacher's word: Each age has its own mission, its tasks, goals, values. Each of us builds his own house of life. If we imagine our life as a house, then what should be youth - a foundation, a roof, walls?
Youth is the foundation, and what kind of "bricks" you lay, what kind of "cement" you use, will be your "House of Life". And it will depend only on you what you will get by old age: a shack, a good house or a palace?
VI . Reflection. (slide 20, 21)
1. Young people are heterogeneous, have different goals and value orientations.
The main feature of the social position of young people is its transitivity. Young people master new social roles: worker, student, citizen, family man, and the like. They are looking for their place in life, often change their field of activity.
2. Youth is one of the hidden resources that any society has and on which its viability depends. The survival and rate of progress of each country is determined by how significant, how developed this resource is, how much it is mobilized, how fully it is used.
3. Youth is the renewing force of society. This is the sociological function of youth.
4. There are many problems in the life of modern young people that require attention and resolution.
5. Young people are characterized by a creative attitude to the surrounding reality, the desire to change the world, to live in a new way, a tendency to unite in informal groups.
6. It is impossible to unequivocally judge today's youth.
7. The problem of youth has been relevant at all times.
VI І . Homework. (slide 22)
