SPIRITUAL AND MORAL PRIORITY OF EDUCATIONIN THE CONDITIONS OF MENTAL TERRORISM
The author draws attention to the global threat of the modern world – the mental terrorism, the essence of which is the destruction of the spiritual and moral principles of the society and its destabilization. The author believes that the problem of terrorism should be viewed not only from the point of view of security of the nation and the state, but through the prism of security of each individual as part of society. The author underlines that we can confront mental terrorism only on the spiritual, mental level. For the safety of human life people must realize the value and meaning of their existence. It is quite natural that in the critical period the society has always appealed to ideas-values, which, according to Academician N.D. Nikandrova, provide a community of people, contribute nations’ unity. In this context, the author stresses the ethno-cultural education as the basis of human security and opposition to mental terrorism. It should be emphasized that not an abstract universalism, but real culture of each individual and nation should be at the core of education as a social institution. The purpose of education is to cultivate this power in each individual. There is the consistency, strength and self-sufficiency of education.
