SOCIO-CULTURAL SYSTEM OF THE REGION (SOCIOLOGICAL ANALISYS)

Abstract

The socio-cultural system in the Belgorod region, as follows from the results of sociology research, is characterized by stability and integrity. To a certain extent, it is a result of preserving the significant share of traditionalism in public consciousness. The moral guidelines for most citizens in the region are set by prevailing norms in society, which have a high degree of rejection of various social deviations. Currently, there is a transformation of traditional values and practices in «modern» ones with the leading role of individualism, escalating consumer demand and gradual refusal from the comprehensive state regulation. However, orientation to the stability, not to the change, is the dominant of mass consciousness.
