Foundations of Youth Anti-Extremist Education
The article presents the actual problem of anti-extremist education of youth. The author believes that the most effective way to combat extremism is measures taken even before it manifests itself. One of these measures, according to the author, is patriotic education, which is today one of the most important areas in the state youth policy implementation. The state greatness and power depends on the ability of the people to unite, on the depth of their feelings of patriotism and citizenship, devotion to their homeland and their ability to unite in the face of the enemy. One of the most important tasks is to take preventive measures to block the channels and methods of recruiting young people. The unsettled views of a young person, as well as the uncertainty of his position, the social tension aggravation, which implies a certain set of social problems related to the quality of education, the difficult situation on the labor market in conditions of social inequality, are factors that contribute to the emergence of extremist views and trends among the youth. It is necessary to form a positive public attitude, excluding the possibility of using violence, which will help solve the problem. The very possibility of using antisocial actions, as well as violence in this case, will be excluded. In the process of education, it is important to remember the need to form a consciousness that does not allow solving issues and problems through violence. The worldview formed in a person at a young age later largely determines his actions, beliefs, and actions. You cannot position yourself in the spirit of opposition to the outside world. Organization of work with public associations, state control of their activities is an important area of work for the extremist activities prevention and counteraction. The author concludes that purposeful explanatory and preventive work to counter manifestations of extremism among young people, controlled at the state level, aimed at the inadmissibility of the morally disoriented personality formation is an important work in cooperation with public associations and organizations of various kinds. Only close cooperation with them will make it possible to take control of their activities in order to avoid subsequently the development of asocial trends among them.
