The article examines the influence of mass media on the formation of individual value systems in the context of the modern world. The authors argue that media products can significantly impact the formation and development of personal values. A total of 45 respondents, aged from 20 to 50 years old, took part in the study, divided into three age groups of 15 people each: the first group of 20-30 years old, the second group of 30-40 years old, the third group of 40-50 years old. Statistical analysis of the data revealed significant differences in the evaluation of values such as health, communication, kindness, love, social status, and leadership, based on age (p < 0.01). The findings confirm the hypothesis that the media products consumed by individuals influence their value systems, particularly during wartime conditions.

Christian doctrine clearly regulates a person’s daily life, relationships with others, and behavior even down to eating. Breaking the commandments is considered a sin, and overcoming one’s own weakness leads to the improvement of man and bringing him closer to God, which is ultimately the goal of every Christian’s life. On the material of Cyrillic monuments of written texts of a teaching character, we will consider how the deviation from the norms of Christian morality and violation of the rules of doctrine are reflected in sermons. The sermon as a non-canonical, free genre is interesting for the study of the human value system; it is in the texts of sermons that one can find a reaction to socially significant events. In the article we will trace what sins are mentioned in sermons, what methods of overcoming them are suggested, and what values are emphasized as the main ones. We will conduct this study on the material of the sermons that are part of the Uglian didactical gospel, the didactical gospel of Clement Bukowski, and some other collections. To overcome sin, the Church used not only teachings, but also a collection of laws, the distinctive feature of which was the indication of punishment (penitentia) for the violation of this or that regulation. It should be noted that the various punishments were not physical, but spiritual (e.g. excommunication from the sacrament of confession and communion for a certain period of time, strict fasts, and many others), and the main purpose of punishment was to correct the sinful nature of man and bring him closer to God.

This article explores the concept of divergent value systems and the potential risks of abandoning religion. It argues that while every society develops its own value system, secular values cannot fully replace traditional religious ethics. The article raises questions about whether different value systems can replace traditional systems of morality associated with religion and examines the definitions of values and the value system. It also discusses the relationship between values and society from the perspectives of Western and Islamic cultures, emphasizing the importance of understanding cultural and philosophical backgrounds when interpreting values. Additionally, the article provides an overview of the value systems in Eastern civilizations, focusing on Japan, China, and India, and highlights the historical and cultural influences on these value systems. It acknowledges the diversity within these societies and the ongoing challenges they face in reconciling different religions and cultures. The article concludes that a value system should complement traditional moral systems rather than replace them, and that religion provides an important basis for ethical behavior.

Building contractors' value systems is a powerful force in establishing a construction sector free from corruption. Thus, this study examined the value systems of building contractors and assessed how these systems' psychological impacts affected the construction industry's corruption indicators. Using the theoretical lens of social adaptation theory, this study postulated that a building contractor's tolerance for corruption is psychologically influenced by their value system. Quantitative data were collected from contractors engaged in building and civil engineering projects in Nigeria. Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) was used to test the proposition. The study discovered that the value system of building contractors includes achievement, teamwork, openness, resourcefulness, excellence, precision, efficiency, and self-respect. Results from the MLR showed that none of the values in the value system have very notable effects on corruption indicators. The study's conclusions imply that the building contractors' current value system does not provide the desired level of anti-corruption defense. The conclusions suggest that the building contractors' value system should be modified and reformed through ethical education and professional growth. The study added to knowledge by showing that a value system may not be corrupt-oriented while still lacking the anticipated anti-corruption defense. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes approaches to value orientations study in Russian and foreign psychology. The definition of value orientations based on the reflection, activity, activity, determinism principles has been clarified. The features of the approach to the value orientations study in Russian psychology are represented by three directions – philosophical, concrete-scientific and psychological. The features of the value orientations study in foreign psychology have been presented, where the main attention is paid to the problems of personality typology on the basis of its value orientations and their role in the activity motivation. Each person is guided by what is considered by him as important, essential, and strives to achieve what acquires for him subjective value. Within the framework of general psychology and personality psychology, we always mean individually significant values, on which a person is oriented, – value orientations. A refined definition of value orientations as a mental dimension of the reflected objective reality in the form of subjective significance of its components, which is analyzed in the directionality of the subject’s activity and structured in accordance with the level of its spiritual and moral component, has been given.

This article covers a case of premeditated murder that occurred in a Hungarian city fifteen years ago. The perpetrators were juveniles, and investigations were conducted by the police, prosecutors, psychologists, forensic psychiatrists, and the court to determine the motive for the crime. However, no root cause was found that could be understood by human reason. The defendants only cited their annoyance with their third companion’s friendship. The article also discusses emotional intelligence disabilities and antisocial personality disorder. It covers the criminal verdicts and the reasons for the second-degree civil verdict in the non-pecuniary compensation case of the murdered 17-year-old boy’s parents. The civil judgment highlights the importance of parents teaching their children values such as mercy, grace, compassion, and pity as part of moral education. The article also covers the possibilities of prevention through teaching children skills such as managing their emotions for better frustration tolerance and anger management.

The paper studies the impact of ethnocentrism and cultural intelligence on employee outcome during corporate restructuring or expansion. The authors propose a theoretical model to test this relationship. In-depth interviews of 122 professionals in Northern India who have either been a part of an international assignment or have expanded their businesses were conducted and analysed for testing the proposed model. Key findings suggest that an ethnocentric person finds it difficult to perform well at his workplace as he is constantly faced with dilemmas of cultural fitness. A culturally intelligent person easily adapts oneself to the new environment without any adverse effect on performance. To provide a smooth transition during restructuring, mangers should take measures to encourage cultural intelligence and promote ethno-relativism among the employees. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this article is to capture how religiosity is sociologically researched. On the basis of a bibliographical research, the particularities of quantitative, qualitative and mixed methodological approaches to this topic are highlighted. Each method used enhances a different dimension of religiosity. In studying the religious phenomenon, it is found that there are certain limitations that the researcher must take into account. Its working data also include spiritual values, which legitimise how research participants relate to the phenomenon. In turn, the researcher has his own relationship to religiosity.

As inherent in man, the evaluation process begins at the moment of our birth and accompanies us throughout our lives. The student's value system is formed during socialisation under the influence of various factors. Family, education, and school have a fundamental role in shaping, preserving, and changing values. It is necessary to know the learner's pre-existing values, what they represent in their behaviour, actions, and words. The student's value system is reflected in their perception and way of life; it determines their relationship with the world, reflecting in their behavioural norms, activities, moral rules they follow, Etc. In the following, I undertake a short presentation of the research on Hungarian young people in Romania with the aim of preparing a kind of chronological, a thematic overview of the implemented research. I will briefly present a couple of value sociology studies; therefore, it is not new knowledge but a thematic presentation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is based on the data of the comparative sociological study of the latest wave of the EVS and WVS (2017-2022) and considers values through the opposition “essentialism - existentialism”. The authors use the methodological approach to identifying a system of values, which was developed by R. Inglehart and K. Welzel. According to the level of tolerance, 82 countries were placed on the “essentialism - existentialism” scale: in most cases, intolerance to the other is poorly differentiated. Intolerance extends to all objects that differ from the accepted standard. The authors identify two groups of indicators of tolerance - to origin (racial or ethnic) and to behavior patterns - based on correlation and factor analysis. To identify the number of factors, the authors used the procedure based on the values of the correlation matrix, then the orthogonal rotation method (varimax). The resulting model has high quality characteristics and shows a strong connection between the level of tolerance to other behavior patterns and the level of economic well-being of the country. The level of social trust also affects the level of tolerance: the higher the level of social trust, the higher the tolerance to other behavior patterns, and, on the contrary, the higher the level of distrust (disunity), the higher the level of intolerance to differences, i.e., disunity, atomization and mistrust determine intolerance to others. People supporting the existentialist principle are more tolerant to differences in the worldview, lifestyle, behavior and customs. The dominance of essentialism or existentialism in society leads to specific legal consequences, for example, in the state migration, marriage-family and religious policies. Thus, the study of tolerance allows to locate the country on the “essentialism - existentialism” scale.

Sealing, enhancing security, securitization of the state border is a strategic and undisputed task at the level of system analysis. However, the inclusion of the cultural factor problematizes the issue, especially in the case of borders drawn in an arbitrary and repressive manner against the local population. An example of the apt integration of the cultural factor into the framework of strategic analysis is provided by the 2020 National Security Strategy of the Republic of Poland. In particular, attention is paid to the belt of dense Polish settlement, from Podlachia to the vicinity of Dyneburg on the Dvina River in Latvian Latgale, through the middle of which the eastern border of the European Union now runs. Pointing to the necessity of adopting a definition of the nation as a cultural community, the author draws attention to the actions of state authorities, which seem to be starting from the idea of the etatistically understood socalled neo-nationalism.

The article reconsiders the teaching and learning of the academic discipline “History of Ukrainian Culture”. This course is justified as fundamental in teaching humanities and the key to the success of modern democracies. It is noted that the teaching of the discipline “History of Ukrainian Culture” in Ukrainian higher education institutions is currently based mainly on the history of artistic culture, neglecting the fact that the history of national culture is a philosophical discipline which apart from artistic culture examines the cultural worldview, value system, and political and economic state models. Therefore, a philosophical justification of the “History of Ukrainian culture” as a research field and educational discipline is suggested. In particular, the historical-philosophical methodology of Gorsky is applied, from the standpoint of which the concept of national culture is conceptualized as a multidimensional field of cultural creativity, where the national idea is discussed and formulated through the personal character of every cultural-historical epoch’s worldview. The authors address Hofstede’s sociological approach to measuring value frameworks of national cultures and justify the reasonability to interpret the history of Ukrainian culture as a performative practice of curating the past, conveying cultural values, cultural criticism, and composing the shared knowledge in the context of public construction of the Ukrainian modern national identity. It is concluded that the suggested perspective on theoretical conceptualization and practical implementation of the academic discipline “History of Ukrainian Culture” may encourage students to research the national past, construct a positive national-cultural identity, and expertly represent Ukrainian culture on the world stage.

A researcher who studies the subjectivity of believers and religious people will have a number of unanswered questions. Through their work, the author has hoped to address the most prominent of them: the problem of sincerity, the relationship between external and internal subjectivity, the methodology of research of the subject, the multi-discursiveness of subjectivity, and, in many respects, the duality of the given (traditional) and the indefinite/unestablished (new) thought provoked by its study. Several definitions of the concept of “subjectivity” are also proposed by the author, and Muslim subjectivities are considered in the historical context of the period, and how they are represented and covered under a new form of historical research - the History of Muslim Subjectivities. The article ends with a brief review of the thematic themes on the subject, including: the Soviet view of Muslim childhood; the “prison experience” of Russian Muslims; female subjectivity; and Islamic rhetoric and discourse of modernity.

The author raises the question of the instrumentalization of the cultural code of the country to ensure the praxeology of its public administration and sectoral policies and suggests a methodology based on the method of ontological deduction. The current state with the objectification of value constants in Russia is given, progress and unambiguous logic of the legislator on the use of cultural policy for the implementation of the goals and objectives of not only the cultural block, but also national security and socio-economic development of the Russian Federation are noted. The concept of the praxeology of public administration is introduced, the thesis of the conditionality of the effectiveness of public administration by the use of appropriate criteria is introduced and substantiated, the genesis of values from individual motives through consistent pre-values to social imperatives is given as confirmation of the hypothesis of the direct influence of the value basis of managerial activity on the adequate perception of the country by the people strategies of public administration. The ontological hierarchy of values based on the philosophical and methodological concretization of the mechanisms of reproduction of human society from civilization to the country is given, which makes it possible to instrumentalize values. The concretization of industry values is made on the example of the values of the economic block of the country for the implementation of specific goal-setting and goal-achievement in this industry. The logic of non-random goal-setting and goal-attainment in the civilization-value approach is reproduced. The current situation with the implementation of Decree No. 809 of 09.11.2022 regarding the civilizational and value expertise of legislation is problematized, a request is made for the need to launch a federal program of civilizational and value analytics. The methodology has been tested in a number of regions of the Russian Federation, training programs for experts are ready, based on it, methodological instructions for employees of state and municipal authorities are being developed in accordance with the requirements of Decree No. 809 of 09.11.2022.

Totemism and exclusivism are currently a concern of advertisers in presenting their work in connection with the tendency of people to worship or glorify something, in the form of objects or people and to consider themselves as part of a community. This tendency is used to attract consumers’ attention to the advertised goods or services. The purpose of this study is to comprehend the formation of a new style of totem related to symbols and meanings that change the value system in the audience so as forming exclusivism. This study focuses on the advertisement for Tolak Angin with the figure of Rhenald Kasali. The research was conducted using the semiotic research method of Roland Barthes’ structural model with descriptive-interpretative techniques by analyzing the structure of the advertising text starting from denotation and connotation which then carried out a semiotic process through the relationships between signs to myths. This study found that Tolak Angin uses Rhenald Kasali as the totem of the advertisement with the meaning of “smart person”. Rhenald Kasali represents a group of people who consider themselves smart. Totem makes a symbol of value system that unite consumers or society, this power will later form “exclusivism” in a group that forms a certain class that has the same attachment to the product “Tolak Angin” with the totem as “smart people”. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for advertising practitioners by utilizing the phenomena of totemism and exclusivism that develop in society.

Through the prism of the Ukrainian philosophical thinking issues, the article highlights the philosophical position of Hryhorii Skovoroda, which is based on clarifying the specifics of a particular human personality and focuses on the inner world of a person, the world of the “soul” and “heart”. According to H. Skovoroda, the “philosophy of the heart” is a statement of a new approach to understanding a person, the meaning of his existence and destination in the world. It is proved that such a cordocentric approach has a long national tradition and was initiated in the early literature of the proto-Ukrainian society of Kyivan Rus. It is substantiated that a characteristic feature of H. Skovoroda’s philosophical system is the joining of a man and the world. This means creating a coherent philosophy that integrates ethics, ontology, philosophical wisdom, and moral behaviour in the philosophical dimension. H. Skovoroda appeals to the “voice of the heart”, which confirms the begin of developing his humancentrism on the national ground and acts as an alternative to the rationalist and objectivist method precisely in defending the fundamental importance, the primacy of the individual and personal, and cultural and multivocal uniqueness of human existence.

Nowadays young people constitute the majority of population in many countries. However, engaging with young people is not only a demographic necessity — young people all over the world actively influence peace processes through diverse initiatives. As stressed in the Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the ignorance of each other’s ways and lives has been a common cause, throughout the history of mankind, of that suspicion and mistrust between the peoples of the world through which their differences have all too often broken into war. Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed. Surveying the moods of young people around the world, a foundation maintaining official relations with UNESCO, the Goi Peace Foundation, conducted a survey of young people around the world (aged 15–25) in 2021, where the respondents were asked about their perceptions of the current state of peace, their awareness of issues related to peace, about what they would like to do to contribute to peace. The article analyzes young people’s own point of view on youth participation and inclusion in peace processes and compares all the participants’ opinions with opinions of participants from Japan. The youth aged 15 to 25 make up a tenth of Japan’s population, and some young Japanese people identify themselves as the satori sedai (さとり世代) — a term first used in 2010 to describe those born around the time the economy started to slide two decades ago and characterizing the Japanese youth as having pessimistic attitudes towards the future. That is why the analysis of the values and social orientations of Japanese youth towards peace, issues related to peace, and their possible contribution to peace building as compared to those in the rest of the world is especially interesting. The article indicates that young Japanese demonstrated willingness to socialize, strengthen, and protect peace in formal and informal political platforms through various practices. It is noted that the participation of the youth, both all over the world and in Japan, in building and supporting world peace can yield substantial positive results.

The objective of the present research was to identify the level of aspiration of secondary school students to join higher education and their career preferences. Quantitative data were collected from secondary school students in Wolaita Sodo town, Southern Ethiopia. The results have shown that students have high aspiration to join higher education institutions. While most students prefer to join public higher education institutions, larger number of students disclosed their interest to join higher education institutions located in/nearer to their locality. Furthermore, having the finding that most students choose to be remembered for being an outstanding student in the school added to increased consideration of reaching at the highest level of education as the most preferred avenue to upward social mobility, we found a higher place of academic achievement in the value system of high school students in the study area.

The article describes highly religious young Poles who are at the stage of entering adulthood (aged 18-19 and attending the final grades of high school). In the empirical analysis, we use the existing data from quantitative research carried out in 1996, 2010, and 2021. The same methodology for the implementation of the survey, including sample selection, as well as a broadly comparable research tool, allowing to capture significant changes, tendencies, and trends that have occurred among young Poles in the last 25 years in terms of religiousness. The data show that despite a significant decrease in the percentage of people who define themselves as religious, and even more so as regularly practicing religion, the percentage of deeply religious people and regular religious practitioners remains relatively constant (about 5% of the population of young Poles who have reached the age of majority). The question arises whether the socio-demographic structure of this group remains stable over the time and whether and to what extent it differs from the structure of other groups, including less religious and non-religious people. The article attempts to answer this question.

The “American dream” is a value system, which is the locomotive of the development of American society. It is one of the core elements of the American identity. The idea of the “American dream” presents the terminal values of equality, liberty, prosperity and happiness. Hard work, sacrifice, courage in the face of taking risks, diligence and the act of overcoming hardships are presented as instrumental values, which are required to achieve the terminal values mentioned above. The concept of the “American Dream” has evolved with the passage of time and faced different challenges, which resulted in a number of contradictions between the dream and the social reality. Hollywood movies are used as one of the tools to propagate the “American Dream” both inside of the United States and abroad. This article examines the representation of the terminal and instrumental values of the “American Dream” in Hollywood films (2018-2021) with anti-racist content, as well as films about family, the American Armed Forces, the US president, and the rule of law, through visual, verbal and audio means. Nevertheless, while the films communicate the same terminal and instrumental values, they also occasionally show the existing contradictions. Hard work does not always lead to achieving the "American dream". Even though the fight for equality is going strong, inequality still exists. Along with the rule of law, there are also manifestations of corruption. At the same time, the USA continues to be presented as a safe, powerful and wealthy country.
