Double Consciousness: A Subject Formation in Toni Morrison’s Tar Baby

This paper based on Toni Morrison's "Tar Baby" delves into the intricacies of race, identity, and belonging. It explores the expressions of double consciousness in Morrison's work and its significance in understanding the characters' motivations and relationships. It employs W.E.B. Du Bois’s concept of double consciousness as a literary tool to describe the internal conflict experienced by African Americans. Double consciousness refers to the psychological experience of African Americans who perceive themselves both as individuals and as members of a racially marginalized group. This duality arises from the social construction of race and the historical context of oppression, leading to a fragmented identity. The female protagonist, Jadine Childs, embodies the struggle of double consciousness as a young, educated black woman. She gets divided between her African heritage and the allure of white culture. Her relationship with Son, a male protagonist, serves as a catalyst for her exploration of self-awareness and cultural identity. This study examines how Morrison portrays the internal conflicts faced by her characters. Additionally, it navigates the reasons behind the formation of split personality of the characters. It also discovers the role of history and memory in shaping the characters' perceptions. Over all, this research contributes the readers to comprehend how double consciousness acts in order to formulate fragmented personality of the black characters.

Vacare: from Lectio Divina to Contemplative Reading. Making space for the personal formation of secondary school students

The personal formation of students is an important goal in Religious Education in secondary schools in the Netherlands. This article, which is based on the design research of my PhD dissertation, examines how a contemplative approach to reading stories can, according to Religious Education teachers, contribute to the personal formation of students. Thus, a teacher’s manual, based on the monastic tradition of Lectio Divina, was designed and tested for the Contemplative Reading of Biblical parables. What possibilities does this teacher’s manual for Contemplative Reading offer for creating space for the personal formation of students in daily teaching practice? How do the results of this intervention contribute to the theory of personal formation and the theory of contemplative practices in education? Cultivating a space for freedom—vacare—appears to be essential. Contemplative Reading can open this space of attention and listening in the classroom.

The influence of internal personal conflicts on the formation of personality in adolescent age

The article examines and analyzes modern and foreign research on the influence of intrapersonal conflicts on personality formation in adolescence. The factors that contribute to the emergence of intrapersonal conflicts, including physiological changes, social pressure and the search for self-identity, are analyzed. The positive and negative effects of intrapersonal conflicts on the formation of a teenager's personality are determined. Insufficient understanding of the nature and consequences of intrapersonal conflicts in adolescence makes it difficult to develop effective strategies to support young people. Internal conflicts in adolescence are usually associated with contradictions between the desire for independence and the need for support, the search for one's own identity and pressure from peers and society, as well as with changes in physiological development. These conflicts can lead to emotional stress, increased anxiety, depression and other mental disorders. Effective overcoming of such conflicts contributes to the formation of a healthy, mature and stable personality. Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and hostilities have a profound effect on the psychological state of teenagers. War creates a constant state of danger, uncertainty, and stress that exacerbates intrapersonal conflicts. Adolescents who live in a war zone or have lost loved ones face additional emotional and mental challenges. Intrapersonal conflicts in adolescence are an inevitable part of the growing up process and have a significant impact on personality formation. This emphasizes the need to conduct a comprehensive study aimed at studying specific aspects of the influence of these conflicts on the formation of the personality of teenagers in the conditions of modern Ukraine. The results of such a study can become the basis for the development of recommendations for psychologists, teachers and parents on supporting adolescents in overcoming internal contradictions and promoting their positive development.

Pembentukan Kepribadian Islami dalam Pendidikan Agama Islam

The formation of Islamic personality is a primary goal in Islamic education. Ethical education plays a crucial role in achieving this goal as it involves the moral and spiritual aspects of individuals. This research aims to analyze the Islamic perspective on ethical education and how it contributes to the formation of an Islamic personality. The methodology employed is a literature study involving the analysis of Islamic sources, including the Qur'an and Hadith. The analysis reveals that the Islamic approach to ethical education emphasizes the importance of good morals, social responsibility, and spiritual awareness. Islamic education should prioritize moral values such as honesty, justice, patience, and compassion. Additionally, education should encourage individuals to behave well and be responsible towards society, as well as develop spiritual awareness in their relationship with Allah. This research provides a deeper understanding of how ethical education, from an Islamic perspective, contributes to the formation of an Islamic personality.

Theoretical and methodological analysis of the state of research on the problem of mental protection of the individual

The article presents a theoretical and methodological analysis of the state of research on the problem of psychological protection of the individual. It is noted that the system of psychological protection is formed in the general structure of personality as a certain combination of protective mechanisms. As a result of the action of defence mechanisms, a specific state of consciousness is formed, which allows the individual to maintain the harmony and balance of it`s structure. Today, most researchers consider mental defence mechanisms to be processes of personal intrapsychic adaptation that occur under the influence of subconscious processing of incoming information. To date, a great deal of material has been accumulated on this issue, in which the following points can be distinguished. First, it is the complexity of the functioning of defence mechanisms. Individuals rarely use a single defence mechanism - they usually use a complex of defence mechanisms. This complex is specific to each individual and is formed early enough in genesis. Second, there is a positive effect of defence mechanisms on personality development. Defence mechanisms are quite dynamic in themselves: through their development, integration and adaptation of the individual takes place. This is their positive influence on personality formation. Thus, defence mechanisms are widely present both in normal, healthy psychological functioning of the individual and in unhealthy, pathological ones. Their effect can be detected in every person. The third point concerns the function of defence mechanisms. They are used by an individual to relieve or prevent anxiety, to resolve emotional conflicts, to resist emotional discomfort, to prevent a return to thoughts, emotions, desires, fantasies that have previously been pushed out of consciousness because of their painfulness and unacceptability. Fourthly, mental regulation in difficult situations for the subject with the help of defence mechanisms usually occurs at the unconscious level.

Аксиологические проблемы образования в современной науке

Introduction. Modern Russian society is faced with serious challenges and threats that require the rethinking of values based on traditional Russian spiritual and moral values. This situation actualizes the need to analyze the axiological problems of education, the solution of which could have a significant impact on the preservation of Russia’s spiritual security, because education has a key impact on the process of formation and development of personality. Theoretical analysis. Modern educational activity is faced with a number of problems that have axiological grounds: the lack of a unified and clear system of values in the field of education, insufficient attention to the moral and ethical aspects of education, the problem of humanization of education. Conclusion. The solution to these problems can be found in the development of an axiological theory, which contributes to the formation of a worldview based on the recognition of the value of a person as a personality, as well as education based on the principles of priority of universal values, human life and health, and free personal development. It is necessary to conceptually rethink the education system, taking into account the priority of traditional spiritual and moral values inherent in the Russian culture of society.

Методы преодоления как новая парадигма процессов коррекции поведения и личных качеств школьников

Introduction. Many educational systems recognize the importance of building a skill of conflict-free communication in the younger generation, which is based on tolerance or the ability to accept others without judging. Statistics indicate the presence of a large number of theoretical works on the development of conflict-free communication skills. However, psychologists record an increase in aggression and conflict in Russian society. According to the author, the problem is not in the content-related component of personality formation, but in the methods used in modern schools. Theoretical analysis. The comparative analysis of methods of molding the behavior of schoolchildren revealed the skewed nature of those ones that are used in Russian schools. All of them belong to the “character-building” paradigm. Meanwhile, foreign schools use not only character-building methods to correct behavior, but also teaching methods, for example, they teach coping strategies (breathing, meditative techniques, etc.). Conclusion. The author suggests that the general pedagogical paradigm of personality formation should include not only methods of character building, but also methods of coping (for example, with stress and other negative emotions). It is proposed to classify coping methods into behavioral, auto-training and communication-related ones based on the mechanism and agent of influence.

Speech Genre of Consolation in the Context of Foreign Language Learning at a Medical University

Empathy, which involves supporting the client, is a mandatory component of doctor-client communication. Sticking to the tactics of consolation in communication allows achieving greater effectiveness of the clinical activity of a medical worker. Since medical discourse as a sample of institutional discourse is characterized by a certain constant pattern, it has been proven that in the context of learning a foreign language it is appropriate to use a genre approach. The involvement of the genre approach in linguistic didactics is also explained by the dependence of the number of speech genres mastered by a foreigner and his level of formation of the secondary language personality. It is proved that consolation is a speech genre. The choice of film discourse for the study is justified by the specificity of the genre and the fact that it is a sample of authentic texts, the effectiveness of the auditory and visual channels of information perception. The "signals" of the use of the consolation genre, vocabulary and grammatical features are described. The verbal means of the main tactics within the secondary genre of consolation are listed. Methods of organizing the teaching of the Ukrainian language according to the genre approach are proposed.

Философский и культурологический аспекты в вопросах личностного и профессионального самоопределения

Modern society directs individuals towards the necessity of forming distinctive value orientations concerning personal and professional self-determination. The evolution of technologies, the emergence of new societal demands placed upon individuals and their social roles, and, crucially, the pursuit of self-identity and self-awareness within specific socio-cultural activities all necessitate examination through a cultural-philosophical lens. The phenomenon of “personal self-determination”, as well as the process of personal formation, require modern clarifications and additions, manifesting in the independent assessment of their capabilities, inclinations, and interests, which may be realized within a specific social milieu. Personal self-determination serves as a reflection of the evolving demands and expectations of modern culture, society, and the individual towards himself. The content of this concept not only synthesizes the aggregate desires and needs of the individual but also becomes a specific temporal demand of society for addressing economic and social challenges. We posit that presently, the content of the concept of “personal self-determination” underscores a high level of individual responsibility, which finds reflection in the actualization of the notion of “public service”.
