Abstract
This article aims to consider key concepts and models from the theory of social systems that can be used as a theoretical basis for conducting cultural and anthropological research. Based on the analysis of a number of authoritative sources, attention was focused on the activity approach, which takes into account the role of the elements of the system (a person, specific communities and groups) in its functioning and change. In addition, the issue of the dynamics of social systems of different types (classical, nonclassical and postclassical) was analyzed, which allows you to pay attention to the transformations taking place in a modern multicultural urban society or the traditional society of an ethnic village, to identify their regularity, to fix the direction. Also in this work, models of social transformations in culture are considered - Westernization, destabilization, assimilative-religious, and in our opinion the most effective is the modernization-traditionalist model, the elements of which contribute to the preservation of traditional value dominants and allow you to develop a program for the sustainable development of a state, region or small territory in the global world.
