СОЦІАЛЬНА СОЛІДАРНІСТЬ І ЗГУРТОВАНІСТЬ ДІАСПОР ЯК ЧИННИК СУСПІЛЬНОЇ СТАБІЛЬНОСТІ В УМОВАХ ПАНДЕМІЇ COVID-19

Abstract

The article analyzes the phenomenon of social solidarity of the diaspora as one of the main directions of development of modern society in the context of challenges related to the problem of COVID-19. The analysis of social principles and genesis of comprehension of the category of social solidarity and cohesion on the materials of social philosophy is carried out. The essence of the main scientific approaches to the study of the concepts of social solidarity and cohesion is determined. Solidarity in work is seen as one of the prerequisites for stability and social order. The modern scientific definition of "social solidarity" in the social sciences means the unity of a group, class, or action that generates unity of interests, goals, standards, and mutual understanding. Solidarity processes by modern foreign and domestic researchers today are associated primarily with such phenomena as cooperation, cohesion, unity, public trust, the presence of common ideas, views and goals. Although social cohesion seems a difficult concept to study, researchers note its extreme importance in detailing the category of solidarity as a wide range of components: mutual assistance, trust, perception of difference, perception of justice, social inclusion, and so on. Since the spread of the COVID-19 virus and disease, people around the world have faced a large-scale emergency and an incomprehensible situation that is new to most modern societies. Therefore, the socio-cultural understanding of the pandemic as a global problem today acquires special significance for the search for the foundations of social cohesion, as a means of reducing tensions and social solidarity of communities. The authors argue that it is social solidarity and cohesion of the diaspora of communities and communities that is an effective means of social counteraction to modern destructive factors and challenges.
