Value Orientation of Students of the Russian Far East

摘要

New norms, values, rules of social behaviour appear because of social and economic reforms and the process of establishing market relations in our country. Such traditional values of Russian culture as collectivism, priority of spiritual over material, self-sacrifice, conciliarity and absence of covctousness do not contribute to the development and prosperity of Russia in modern conditions (E. Yasin). Nowadays, there is a tendency to follow Western ideals and values that encourage individualism, freedom and human rights, entreprencurship and well-being. As a result, we can witness a shift in emphasis in the Russian consciousness from the interests of the state to the interests of an individual, reassessment of previously existing values and ambiguous perception of new ones, search for strong life orientations. Studentship is a period of intensive development of the system of value orientation, which influences character and personality formation. Young people strive to identify the most important goals, ideals, according to which they carry out their life activities and choose various means to develop their plans. The article presents a sociological analysis of value orientation of students of the Russian Far East illustrated through the example of the Jewish Autonomous region.
