SUBSTANTIVE ASPECTS OF THE ADOLESCENT’S FROM INFORMAL UNIONS MEANING SPHERE

Abstract

In recent years, modern society has undergone profound transformations that have led to significant changes in the understanding of life by the individual. In particular, in the crisis of socio-political conditions, changes in prevailing values and norms of behavior, there is a leveling of humanistic values of support, assistance, recognition of the family priority and the role of the individual in social development. Young people who do not have an established the personal meanings system with a strong desire to prove adulthood and independence as an attempt to resolve the adolescent crisis react especially sharply to such crisis phenomena. A special kind of "finding unique way of life" among adolescents is participation in informal associations, which provide them with certain patterns of life understanding, enshrined in the postulates of the subculture and declared by its followers.
