Dialogue of cultures and spiritual and moral values of modern youth of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Abstract

The article is devoted to the issues of the dialogue of cultures and spiritual, moral, and life purpose values of modern youth. Currently, integration and globalization have a decisive influence on all spheres of human life — the economy, culture, education, and upbringing. Today we live in the reality of the 21st century — the century of digitalization and informatization, which has significantly changed the culture and stratification of society. At the same time, we must understand that our youth is not homogeneous or uniform. It is a mirror reflection of the social pyramid that exists in Kazakhstan. Ultimately, as elsewhere, we have both "golden youth" and "outsiders", there is urban, rural, unemployed, and self-employed youth. The youth can be politically active, marginal, and passive, cosmopolitan and conservative, secular-minded and religious. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the values that guide young people and largely determine their culture, ideas about the present, their life strategies and plans for the future. The article deals with a complex of ideological, conceptual, theoretical, and socio-cultural issues related to the socio-philosophical and cultural aspects and considering political socialization and culture as an integral characteristic of the social sphere of life of modern Kazakhstani society. The genesis, structure, dynamics, institutional forms, and normative value content of the political socialization and culture of the youth of Kazakhstan, conditioned by the national traditions of political culture, are analyzed.
