Self-realization in the youth environment: Value and potential

Authors

Keywords:

youth, self-realization, social conditions, of self-realization, values, life chances

Abstract

The value of self-realization in the youth environment in its most general form is not among the priorities, however, in-depth sociological analysis allows us to place on the conditional border between key life values (family, health) and «second order» values (love, freedom, career). Self-realization can be considered both in the broadest sense – as the actualization of one's potential – talents, abilities, and more pragmatically – In terms of profession, career, creative potential. The conditions for self-realization in modern society have received an ambiguous assessment of young people, higher in sports and leisure activities, less in professional development, politics, freedom of statements.
