SOCIALIZATION OF PERSONALITY IN THE DISCOURSE OF THE CONTINUITY OF GENERATIONS
Socialization of the individual plays an important role in the self-reproduction of society and in ensuring the harmo- nious continuity of generations necessary for social integration and successful development of society. The article analyzes some current problems of socialization in the discourse of continuity of Russian generations, first of all, in connection with the problems of social integration. Special attention is paid to the need to form and develop (primarily, by such institutions as the state and the education system) such basic «meanings of life» and «images of the future» in the process of socializa-tion, which are necessary for harmonious interaction of generations and successful life activity of society at all levels. The analysis of sociological materials shows that important value meanings of previous generations concerning social justice and social responsibility and citizenship retain their significance for new generations. The overwhelming majority of res- pondents in different generations reject individualistic and selfish attitudes, and poverty is perceived by them as the oppo- site of justice. In general, the cultivation by the state and the education system of important «meanings of life» and positive«images of the future» that are common to all generations of Russians is a necessary condition for the organic solidarity and social integration of different layers and generations and, respectively, for the harmonious continuity of generations. There is also a need for more in-depth research into the socialization of the individual within the matrix «collectivism- individualism», including such research in the framework of the discourse of the continuity of generations.
