THE ROLE OF IDEOLOGY IN THE FORMATION OF PATRIOTISM AMONG YOUNG GENERATION

Abstract

The article analyzes the consolidating and educational functions of ideology on the basis of a number of theories and concepts. The concepts of "ideology", "functions of ideology", "modernization of consciousness" are being studied. Every society, and especially a state, needs an ideology that should unite its citizens to perform specific objectives. With the development of human society, the evolution of ideologies took place, going from totalitarian and Nazi to liberal and humanistic. Ideology does not arise out of anywhere; it proceeds from the needs and prerequisites of society and depends on specific historical conditions. Especially important is the role of ideology, a unifying national idea in states that have just embarked on the path of independent development. The Republic of Kazakhstan, freed from the totalitarian Soviet ideology, badly needed the development of its own state ideology. Its role is extremely significant in a sovereign state, especially for the consolidation and spiritual modernization of Kazakhstani society. Ideology is especially important for fostering patriotic feelings among young people, who are responsible for the future of the entire country. The article focuses on the fact that such an ideology has already been formed in Kazakhstan - it is "Rukhany Zhagyru".
