Abstract

The formation of the legal culture and legal consciousness of minors in modern society has increasingly been influenced by the digital space in which modern teenagers and minors live and study, which can affect the emergence in the near future of essential changes in public legal consciousness. Such changes include, first of all, a new state of the logical-normative, emotional-figurative and behavioral components of legal consciousness. The aim of the study is to identify the characteristics of the formation of the legal culture and legal awareness of minors using cyberspace as a source of information about law and an environment for legal communication. The object of the study is the content, structure and basis for the formation of the legal culture and legal awareness of minors as an independent socio-demographic group. The article used a systematic and comprehensive approach to the study of the problem from the perspective of various sciences: jurisprudence, psychology, pedagogy, sociology, philosophy. The methodological basis of the study was the dialectical method of cognition, the general laws of the emergence, formation and development of legal phenomena, comparative legal and general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization). The article provides an analysis of possible approaches to the organization of the process of formation of cognitive, motivational-evaluative and activity components of the high level of a minor's legal culture in the digital space. The issues of creating an educational electronic space are disclosed. The problem of assessing the level of formation of a minor's legal culture and legal awareness through the lens of their participation in legal life is addressed. The authors believe that the formation of the legal culture and legal consciousness of a minor goes from the usual, practical level to the theoretical one, and in this development the leading role belongs to legal education and upbringing. The allocation of the ordinary virtual-game level of legal consciousness in minors is justified, which begins to dominate, replacing other levels of legal consciousness, in the digital world. In the context of consideration of the characteristics of the legal self-development of a minor, conclusions are drawn on the possibility of presenting the legal culture of minors as a combination of manifestations of the characteristics of their legal consciousness and legal solidarity mainly in the virtual space.
