POLYETHNIC ENVIRONMENT OF THE MEGAPOLIS AS A PREDICTOR OF VANDAL BEHAVIOR OF YOUTH
The factors determining negative attitude and behavior towards the subjects of other cultures are described. The presented material shows the possibility of vandalism as a protective reaction to the pressure of a polyethnic urban environment. The study describes the attitude of students towards non-ethnic actors and actions against them. In the cities, enclaves of diasporas are formed. There is no dissemination of national and cultural experience in the territory of the host city, which provokes rejection of indigenous people, which manifests itself in deviant behavior. Deviation, clearly manifested in the metropolis, is expressed, in the main, in vandalism. In our context, vandalism will manifest itself as a protective reaction, which is aimed at destroying representatives of another culture. Vandalism in this case will be expressed in the writing of xenophobic slogans, the pogrom of the jobs of the other ethnic population, the desecration of cultural monuments. At this stage, a study is being conducted to verify the hypothesis put forward by us.
