Ethos of youth subculturesin the context of the spiritual situation in Ukraine

Abstract

Reception of the problem of spiritual self-determination of youth in the context of the realities of contemporary society is carried out. Among the current challenges we have systematized the following: individualization and atomization of society; dissemination of simulated information flows against the background of the development of communication technologies; domination of consumerism. It has been substantiated that one of the reasons for the value vacuum among young people is their confusion in front of the “market” of ideological paradigms in which both true values and their ersatz are present. Against this background, the following become natural ways of choosing a personality positioning model in relation to them: conformism, non-conformism and a kind of ideological compromise, which, in our view, is transmitted by subcultural formations.
