The modern world is actively changing and developing, although in some areas not for the better. Changes also affect people, primarily young people. She is actually left to her own devices, no one is engaged in the education of morality, the formation of personality. And in this situation, the problems of modern youth are growing like a snowball. These problems are a reflection of the vices and imperfections of the entire society . And only solving these difficulties will make it possible to improve the health of society. But to start the fight, you need to carefully study the “enemy”. Increasingly, young boys and girls, instead of thinking about family, parents, personal growth, are trying to show their superiority through addiction to bad habits and violence. There is still a chance to change everything for the better and we need to start studying the problems that lie in wait for young people right now.

The most important problems of modern youth.

Alcoholism

Would it be correct to talk about alcoholism as a social problem among young people? Of course, yes, because a person of any age and social status can become addicted to alcohol. Here we must take into account hereditary predisposition (alcoholism is still a disease) and not neglect the power of the retraction method. If your first acquaintance with alcoholic beverages took place at an early or even childhood age, then life becomes meaningless. The teenager loses willpower, stops believing in the bright and good, and drinking becomes the stimulus for action. Sad statistics state that alcoholism is the most pressing problem among young people, which affects children of both sexes. A drunk teenager loses the ability to adequately perceive reality, is rude, unbalanced and prone to recklessness.

From the above, we can formulate another problem - crime among young people. Most crimes are committed by teenagers while intoxicated. It is easier to prevent this misfortune than to try to fight or eradicate it. To do this, you need to make efforts to raise a full-fledged member of society, protect the child from bad companies, create conditions for his harmonious development (sports, music, reading, hobbies, etc.).

Addiction

Drug use is an even worse problem than alcoholism, because it is almost impossible to get rid of such addiction on your own. A teenager who finds himself in bad company is forced to try drugs (in order to keep up with his “friends”). The further development of events is predetermined - six months later another drug addict appears in society.

Parents should not hope that this misfortune will bypass the child, but instead, control and actively participate in the life of their child. If this happens, then the teenager needs to be sent to.

Tobacco smoking

This problem is not as bad as the previous ones. But this is an addiction, and it can become the first step towards more serious problems - drug addiction, alcoholism. If a teenager is caught smoking, then you can’t just leave it like that. It is necessary to find the right approach and use different methods of influencing the subconscious (conversations, examples from life), that is, begin an active fight against teenage smoking.

Crime, suicide

A sane teenager will rarely commit a crime, which means he leads a healthy lifestyle and does not use drugs or alcohol. But often they decide to break the law because of imbalance and unrequited love. You need to constantly communicate with your child, establish contact, find a common language, and then he will be able to live a happy life. You cannot ignore the emotional state of a teenager, and if necessary, you need to help get out of depression.

Substitution of life values

Chasing modernity, teenage girls do not think about future family life, but strive for sexuality and depravity. This trend can also be seen among boys. Very quickly, teenagers realize that they cannot become like their idols. Following such conclusions comes disappointment, loss of the meaning of life. If such problems affect a child, then parents should not stand by, hoping that “everything will pass.” It is important to explain that the meaning of life lies elsewhere, and to help find it.

Assignment: Write an essay based on the text you read.

(1) The old village with its thousand-year history is disappearing into oblivion today. (2) And this means that centuries-old foundations are crumbling, the centuries-old soil on which our entire national culture has grown is disappearing: its ethics and aesthetics, its folklore and literature, its miracle language. (3) The village is our origins, our roots. (4) The village is the material womb where our national character was born and developed. (5) And today, when the old village is living out its last days, we look with new, special, heightened attention at the type of person that was created by it, we look at our mothers and fathers, grandfathers and grandmothers. (6) Oh, they had a few kind words! (7) But it is on them, on the shoulders of these nameless workers and warriors, that the building of our entire life today stands firmly! (8) Let us recall, for example, only one feat of a Russian woman in the last war. (9) After all, it was she, the Russian woman, who, with her superhuman work, opened the second front back in forty-one, the front that the Soviet Army had been waiting for. (10) And how, by what measure to measure the feat of the same Russian woman in the post-war period, in those times when she, often hungry, naked and barefoot, fed and clothed the country, with the true patience and resignation of a Russian peasant woman she bore her heavy cross as a widow -soldiers, mothers of sons killed in the war! (11) So is it surprising that the old peasant woman in our literature has temporarily pushed aside, and sometimes even overshadowed, other characters? (12) Let us remember “Matrenin’s Dvor” by A. Solzhenitsyn, “The Last Term of V. Rasputin, the heroines of V. Shukshin, A. Astafiev and V. Belov. (13) No, this is not an idealization of village life and not a longing for the fading hut-like Rus', as some critics and writers broadcast with thoughtless ease and arrogance, but our filial, albeit belated, gratitude. (14) This is the desire to comprehend and retain the spiritual experience of people of the older generation, that moral potential, those moral forces that did not allow Russia to collapse during the years of the most difficult trials. (15) Yes, these heroines are dark and illiterate, yes, naive and overly trusting, but what spiritual treasures, what spiritual light! (16) Endless dedication, a heightened Russian conscience and sense of duty, the ability for self-restraint and compassion, love for work, for the land and for all living things - you can’t list everything. (17) Unfortunately, a modern young man, raised in other, more favorable conditions, does not always inherit these vital qualities. (18) And one of the most important tasks of modern literature is to warn young people against the danger of spiritual hardening, to help them assimilate and enrich the spiritual baggage accumulated by previous generations. (19) Lately we have been talking a lot about the preservation of the natural environment and monuments of material culture. (20) Isn’t it time to raise the question of the preservation and protection of the enduring values ​​of spiritual culture, accumulated by centuries of folk experience, with the same energy and pressure... (According to F.A. Abramov)

Answer:

The text by F.A. Abramov proposed for analysis is devoted to the problem of mental hardening. Modern man has recently inherited far from those values ​​that are, in fact, vitally important. But previous generations had them: endless dedication, a heightened Russian conscience, a sense of duty, the ability for self-restraint and compassion, love for work, for the land and for all living things.

The author believes that it is time to raise the question of the preservation and protection of the enduring values ​​of spiritual culture accumulated by centuries of folk experience. F. Abramov suggests remembering the nameless workers, on whose shoulders the building of “our entire life today” rests! Fyodor Aleksandrovich is sure that one of the most important tasks of literature is to warn people against spiritual hardening and help them enrich their spiritual baggage.

But, in my opinion, the modern generation is becoming hardened mentally. Young people now are angry and do not give kindness to the people around them. People began to forget about real spiritual values. How can you have a heart-to-heart talk with a person if there is no soul, but only selfish calculations? Only with kind, gentle and fair people can you truly make friends.

In the work of F.M. Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" in St. Petersburg, against the backdrop of dirt and stuffiness, events take place that depict the loss of human values. In the scene with the drowned woman, the author shows how the vast majority of onlookers curiously look at the drunk woman only for the purpose of having fun. This crowd has no compassion. Witnesses to Marmeladov’s death behave in the same way: some say that the drunk himself threw himself under the carriage, others claim that the coachman was flying quickly.

Kindness in a person must be cultivated from childhood. This feeling should be an integral part of the personality. For example, in L.N. Tolstoy’s work “War and Peace,” Natasha Rostova was kind from childhood, she was raised that way. She had natural charm, living life to the fullest, inner beauty. Natasha is very responsive to the point of self-forgetfulness, she is a loving daughter and caring sister. It is very difficult to characterize a person with such qualities in our time.

To summarize, I want to say that it is necessary to cultivate kindness, responsiveness, honesty, and selflessness in the younger generation. If all people eventually become kind and fair, then everyone’s life will become happy. Then there will be harmony in our world!

the fact that we value this life and all worldly values ​​higher than the Kingdom of Heaven! Do you often think about your death? ??And this is precisely what gives Life Meaning! No wonder in prayer they ask God to give “mortal memory”! That is, a person lives and remembers his death and acts in such a way that he can later be justified at the Last Judgment.

Answer from Alexander Babich[guru]
religious instead of virtuous

What should come first in a person's life? How can a person be characterized by his chosen goal? These are the questions that arise when reading D.S. Likhachev’s text.

Commenting on the problem of true and false values ​​in life, the author relies on his own thoughts. He believes that a worthy person is distinguished by his goals and aspirations - in the first place for such a person are goodness, humanity, and compassion. And the one who sees the meaning of his whole life in buying a more expensive car, a more luxurious house, gives the impression of a base, unspiritual person.

It should be dictated by kindness towards people, love for family, for your city, for your people, for your country, for the whole universe.”

It is impossible to disagree with the author's position. If a person strives to do good deeds, to live with love for his neighbor and for the Fatherland, his life will be filled with joy, happiness, and the awareness that he has brought benefit to the world. By acquiring only material goods, a person will never be happy; he will always lack something. In the endless pursuit of material wealth, he will be devastated morally and spiritually.

Let's try to prove the correctness of our judgments by turning to a literary argument. Let us remember the story by I.A. Bunin “The Gentleman from San Francisco.” The main character devoted his entire life to his career and acquiring capital. Finally, he decides to go on a cruise trip with his family. In an expensive hotel in Capri, reading a newspaper, he suddenly dies. In order not to spoil the reputation of the establishment, the manager orders the body of the deceased old man to be moved in a soda box to the service room. And then the dead man floats in the hold of the ship Atlantis back to America, completing the earthly circle of life. With the death of the gentleman from San Francisco, nothing changed in the world; no one except his family grieved for his passing. This man served false values, saw the meaning of life in earning money in order to have the right to a luxurious vacation and entertainment.

Let's look at another literary example. In A.P. Chekhov’s story “Ionych,” the main character degrades as a person when the goal of his life is to accumulate money and buy houses. At first, Dmitry Ionych Startsev, a zemstvo doctor, walks around and falls in love with the daughter of the Turkins, whose family is considered the most talented in the provincial town of S. Having received a refusal from Ekaterina Ivanovna to propose marriage, Startsev quickly calms down. He gets a private practice in the city, money, his own troika, carriage, coachman Panteleimon. Ionych’s favorite pastime is counting rainbow-colored pieces of paper, which he takes out of his pocket in the evenings. So gradually the zemstvo doctor loses his humanity and turns into an idol.

Thus, we are convinced that when choosing a goal in life, a person thus evaluates himself. If he chooses material goods, then he can be assessed as the owner of a car or a summer house, nothing more. If he strives to do good to others, he evaluates himself at the level of humanity.

Information garbage is being inserted into the minds of Russian teenagers, replacing the moral values ​​and practices familiar to Russian people. There is a decline in morals and a consistent dullness of the younger generation.

In Russia, words previously considered shameful, alas, are already spoken on air as a matter of norm.

Watching any of the programs or series on the most popular Russian, if you can call it that, TV channel “TNT” imposes on the average person the understanding that “intimate relationships without love and outside marriage are a common occurrence”, “tests and exams can be passed for a bribe, study no need”, “a real man is one who is extremely popular with girls and can drag anyone into bed”, “swearing and swearing are a natural attribute of communication for a Russian person”, “down with moral values ​​and fidelity in marriage”, “vulgarity and debauchery is a common occurrence for 16-year-old teenagers in Russia, and those who are not like that are losers,” “having children is not fashionable.”

And, finally, the most basic, carefully pushed line of propaganda on the TNT channel is to introduce into the consciousness of society the concepts: “an Armenian in the life of a Russian person is the norm”, “Armenians are the solution to all Russian problems”, “Armenians are smarter, stronger and more brutal”, “Armenians can be trusted, they will not deceive”... Such a policy of this channel is explained by the fact that the Armenian factor prevails in the management of TNT, as, indeed, in a number of other leading media outlets in the Russian Federation.

Modern Armenians, who have long taken root and successfully realized themselves in Russia, are trying to destroy the stereotype established from the past: at one time, the great Russian poets Pushkin, Yesenin, the historian Velichko and others noted in their works completely different qualities of Armenians... But that is in the past.

Today, representatives of the Armenian ethnic group occupy main positions in the Russian media, very skillfully using this modern instrument of mass influence for their own interests, presented as “Russian”.

Finally, in a number of Russian media, which the hand of the Armenian diaspora still failed, or did not have time to reach, they sound the alarm about this, noting: “Such television dulls the youth, imposes values ​​alien to their native culture, replaces the right with the wrong and leads to large-scale duping and dumbing down of young people, and not only. Think about what kind of information garbage your children are absorbing. Don’t let these Armenian media giants take over your brain!”

It would be interesting to ask the leaders of the TNT television channel - what is the point of their activities, other than making money by undermining the foundations of society, corrupting the younger generation, and creating unhealthy idols? Why, for example, in “House-2” they show how to “build relationships”, changing sexual partners like gloves, and say nothing about sexually transmitted diseases, the dangers of promiscuity and maiden honor? What do they want to instill in Russian children? Sleep with just anyone, give birth to visiting young men and completely forget about morality? Why is homosexuality promoted?

And here’s what Russian bloggers write: “Many people scold America, saying that all this came from there. Maybe. However, I recently spoke with a former classmate who left for America a long time ago. He flew to Moscow on business. We remembered our student years, talked about how Moscow has changed, and he said the following phrase: “I’m simply horrified by your television. What should happen in a society where everyone watches this?”

This trend of using the media as a “weapon of mass intellectual destruction” will continue until the Russian leadership realizes the scale of the problem...
