Structural Activity Aspect of Social Activity in Russian Society

Abstract

Background/Objectives: Social activity indicates the level and nature of social subjectivity, the possible strategies for integration and participation in social processes or social apathy, alienation and even social exclusion. Methods/Statistical analysis: This research is based on the ideas and findings of contemporary sociological science, related to the implementation of the paradigm of social action. In this study we relied on such fundamental ideas as the concept of social capital by P. Bourdieu, structuration theory by Giddens, social subjectivity by A. Touraine. Findings: Although the considered aspect of opportunities is limited by existing targeted programs and certain forms of impact on the legal legislative activity, the implementation of information technology (e-government), creation and operation of the various associated structures of regional public chambers enable to monitor the public mood and reduce the gap between the public daily life planes. Social activity transforms from a means of manifestation of an attitude to the society and a way of social self-assessment into a factor of influence on various social processes. Far from exaggerating the importance of changes occurring in the sphere of social activity, we can say that Russian society is creating a new social space which engages social activity of the population, along with the social, economic and political parameters for powerful social development, the catalyst for social change. Applications/Improvements: Russian social structure is fragile and unstable, still demonstrates the parameters of the transition state, that is why the study of social activity is becoming more urgent
