Scientists of the Crimean Federal University spoke about the values ​​of the Crimean youth

CrimeaPRESS reports:

For more than twenty years, scientists from the Crimean Federal University have been conducting sociological research to identify the worldview values ​​of the Crimean youth.

In the course of sociological monitoring, which we conduct annually on three hundred positions, the first place among young people is the question of the most important life values. Every year, up to 80% of young people answer that this is a strong family and good children, and only then do justice, material security and other benefits , the press service of the university quote Doctor of Sociological Sciences, Professor of the Department of State and Municipal Administration of the Institute of Economics and Management of the KFU. IN AND. Vernadsky Pavel Khrienko.

An important role in the life of the younger generation is also played by family values, which will determine not only the way of life, but also relationships, both between family members and with the outside world.

It is rather difficult to preserve and pass them on to children and grandchildren, since the entire modern culture, or rather, the entertainment industry, preaches the instant satisfaction of any momentary desires, the pursuit of pleasure, self-promotion and self-admiration. So it all depends on the parents. It is necessary that from childhood they orient children towards the family, gently but constantly inspire what is good for family life and what is bad. As the children grow up, classical literature, family films, examples from history, biographies of famous people will serve as a good help, — notes Associate Professor of the Faculty of Psychology of the Taurida Academy of KFU. IN AND. Vernadsky Olga Voynovskaya.

Not so long ago, a new holiday officially appeared in Russia — the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity. According to Orthodox tradition, on this day, the blessed Prince Peter and Princess Fevronia, the wonderworkers of Murom, are remembered. This couple became famous for their piety and mercy, and became a model of Christian marriage.

In particular, Russian culture is characterized by such family values ​​as love, fidelity, trust, respect for spouses to each other, home, children, as well as diligence, honesty and modesty, without which the well-being of the family is unthinkable. At the same time, I note that now the boundaries of growing up have shifted a little. Many young men and women believe that before starting a family, becoming a husband and father, wife and mother, it is necessary to «live for yourself.» We, psychologists, see the situation as follows: the family will be strong when both have a psychological readiness for the mentioned roles. The conditions of modern life contribute to the fact that such readiness comes later, compared to previous generations , — says Olga Voinovskaya.

According to Krymstat, over the past year, more than twelve thousand couples got married in the Republic of Crimea, most of them were not previously in a registered relationship. The decision to start a family was mainly made by citizens aged from 25-29 years. It is remarkable that the age of the brides ranged from 20-24 years, and the grooms — from 25-29 years.

In addition, more than eighteen thousand children were born in Crimean families last year, of which 9271 boys and 8890 girls. Mostly women aged from 30 to 34 years old become mothers.
