Abstract
The research reflects on the contribution of the humanitarization of education in solving the problems of fairness in contemporary Russian society. The authors reveal the concepts of humanitarization of education and fairness, as well as analyze the relationship between the humanitarization of education and the crisis of value system, justifying the importance of creating conditions for the development of a humanitarian personality who has the competencies needed for orientation, and who is capable of self-actualization in the contemporary socio-cultural space. The authors attempt to explain the relationship between the process of humanitarization of education and the mechanism of achieving social fairness in Russian society. The research presents the attitude of individual stakeholders of educational services to the humanities in the university curricula. At the end of the research, the conclusion is made about the need for making joint managerial decisions by the federal executive authorities and educational institutions of Russia to enhance the role of higher education institutions in forming the population’s value system, as well as moral qualities of the individual.
Highlights
The situation in contemporary Russian society is characterized by several development challenges
Kotlyarova correctly notes, “The processes taking place in contemporary culture indicate the unfolding of a global value system crisis, which includes a change in the value basis of human life, and a change in the value system” [1, p. 86]
To confirm the hypothesis put forward in the research, the authors used the findings of sociological surveys conducted by VTsIOM and FOM (Public Opinion Foundation) to study the views of Russians about the fairness of the social structure
Summary
The situation in contemporary Russian society is characterized by several development challenges. The crisis of moral values, including the problem of fairness, is reflected in all life sectors of society and is the cause and consequence of socio-economic problems taking place both in Russia and in the world, which emphasizes the relevance of this topic. The purpose of the present research is to analyze the category of fairness, and the role of the humanitarization of education in the formation of ideas concerning this category. Sociologists believe that “the idea of fairness is still one of the key values in the value system of Russian society, and, according to citizens, is among the three most significant (after trust and responsibility) values necessary for social functioning” [2, 3]. In the population’s opinions, all responsibility for ensuring the fairness of the social structure is borne by the authorities
