Cultural and Psychological Context of the Individual Resistance of Children and Youth in the Global World

Abstract

The article reveals the cultural and psychological context of the emergence and preservation of the individual uniqueness of childhood as an indicator of the individual’s resistance in the global world. The general cultural and psychological context of the implementation of the rights of children and youth in modern multidisciplinary studies is presented, including three thematic studies of globalization-child labor movements, migration of children and youth, and youth organization around climate change. The most important indicator of the possibility of such an association is the mental health of children and youth. The projection of the resistance of the psychological culture of children and youth is revealed in the dimensions of the educational environment and the ethics of relationships in the process of obtaining an education in preschool institutions. An important place in the formation of a person’s mental culture is reflected in the views of early childhood students. One of the main problems of the psychological development of mankind has been called giving priority to the rights of children and youth for their own ecological future. Three main arguments are presented at the basis of this idea: the responsibility of previous generations, preservation of the fullness of the world, the justice of relations between generations. The idea and justification of the multiplicity of global worlds of different generations of children was introduced into scientific circulation, which consists in the fact that each global childhood has its own psychological era. The individual uniqueness of a person, which has developed since childhood, is declared the value of the future centuries, just as typification and standardization are a reflection of the human development of the successes of the natural and technical sciences of the past 19th and 20th centuries. It is claimed that humanity has reached a certain platform of material well-being for everyone, which to a greater or lesser extent reflects the reached limits of knowledge, beyond which individuals of other individual self-organizations of their own mental, including psychophysiological self are able to penetrate. Instead of conclusions, the article poses questions that need to be resolved knitting in the globalized world of modern and future childhood.
