TRENDS OF MODERN SOCIO-CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT AS A THREAT TO THE SPIRITUAL SECURITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND SOCIETY
The purpose of the study is to analyze the main trends of modern socio-cultural development, which carry risks to the spiritual security of the individual and society. The methodological basis of the research is the concepts of mass culture, the theory of consumer society and spiritual alienation of a person. The results of the study. The symbiosis of mass culture, which fetishized the ideology of consumption, and the intensification of the process of digitalization of society actualize destructive tendencies that pose threats to the spiritual security of the individual and society, manifested in the replacement of genuine cognitive, aesthetic and ethical needs with purely material needs. The increasing tendencies of spiritual alienation make it almost impossible for a person to master the spiritual dimension of being, reproduction and realization of traditional humanistic spiritual values in social life. Research prospects. The work opens up prospects for further research of threats to the spiritual security of the individual and society.
