PATRIOTIC CONSCIOUSNESS AND SELF-IDENTIFICATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL
The problems presented in the article represent one of the expected scenarios for the development of modern society from the standpoint of patriotic education, since at present there is a tendency to accumulate the destructive potential of intra-social relations. This scenario is far from the best due to the fact that it is not about preventing a social threat, but about waiting for its manifestation at the moment when it becomes critical. This determines not only the importance of instilling constructive forms of attitude to existing problems, but also the need to instill in members of society the attitude to independently consider and resolve individual social problems.
