The examination paper is divided into two parts:

  1. Tasks from 1 to 20 requiring a short answer (word, phrase or number);
  2. Assignments from 21 to 29 - with a detailed answer and mini-essays.

Evaluation of USE assignments in social science was distributed as follows:

  • 1 point - for 1, 2, 3, 10, 12 tasks.

Man is the highest stage in the development of living organisms on Earth.

Origin theories:

1) Religious. divine origin.

2) Man is an unearthly creature, aliens from space, having visited the Earth, left human beings on it.

3) Man appeared as a result of evolution (Ch. Darwin)

Man is a biosocial being:

1) Biological in man: anatomy, physiology, possesses circulatory, muscular systems. Adapts to the conditions of existence.

2) Social in a person: inextricably linked with society, capable and ready for socially useful work, has consciousness and reason.

The main differences between humans and animals:

1) Possesses thinking and articulate speech.

2) Capable of conscious purposeful creative activity.

3) Not only adapts, but also transforms the surrounding reality.

4) Able to make tools and use them as a means of producing material goods.

5) There are spiritual needs.

Types of needs:

1) Biological (primary, congenital):

A) physiological (food, sleep, rest)

B) Existential (safety of existence)

* spiritual (in knowledge, creativity)

Capabilities is a set of properties of a person, thanks to which his activity is ensured.

Ability Development Levels:

  • Capabilities

    giftedness

  • Genius

human activities

Activity - a way of man's relationship to the outside world, which consists in transforming and subordinating it to the goals of man.

Activity Components: Subject (the one who carries out the activity)

Object (what the activity is aimed at)

Activity structure:

Goal - means to achieve goals - actions - result

Types of activities in which each person is included in the development process:

A game - the goal is not the result, but the process (entertainment), takes place in a conditional situation (imaginary environment), which is rapidly changing, substitute objects are used, aimed at satisfying the interests of the participants, contributes to the development of the individual.

Communication – exchange of information, emotions and ideas. Promotes socialization of a person (learning the norms accepted in society), has an impact on the mental state, helps to carry out joint activities.

Doctrine - the acquisition of knowledge, skills and abilities by a person. It can be organized (in educational institutions) and unorganized (as an additional result), it can have the character of self-education.

Work - aimed at achieving a practically useful, pre-expected result is carried out with certain knowledge, intelligence

Activities (by objects and results):

Material (creation of wealth)

    Material and production (transformation of nature)

    Socially transformative (transformation of society)

Spiritual (creation of cultural values)

    Cognitive

    Value-indicative (the formation of a positive or negative attitude of people to the phenomena of the surrounding world)

    Prognostic (planning or anticipation of possible changes in reality)

Creation - this is a type of activity that generates something qualitatively new, which has never existed before (for example, a new goal, a new result, or new means of achieving the goal). It can be a component of any activity, or an independent activity (for example, the activity of scientists, inventors, writers, artists).

Human cognitive activity

Cognition - human activity. The result of which is the acquisition of new knowledge about the world around.

Knowledge has two levels:

1) Sensory cognition - carried out by the senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste)

2) Rational knowledge - inherent only to man, carried out through thinking

Types of knowledge:

1) Scientific (reliable generalization of facts)

2) Unscientific:

* mythology * life experience * folk wisdom * parascience (near-scientific knowledge)

True - correspondence of our knowledge about the subject to the subject itself

    Absolute (exhaustive reliable knowledge)

    Relative (incomplete, inaccurate knowledge)

Individual. Individuality. Personality.

Individual - a single representative of the human race.

Individuality - the uniqueness of a person.

Personality - a subject of conscious activity, possessing a set of socially significant features that he implements in public life.

The formation of personality is influenced by: family (upbringing), environment (communication), society, historical era, a person’s personal desire for self-improvement.

The personality has the following features: an active life position, willpower, responsibility, realistic self-esteem (not too low or too high).

Personality is formed in the process of socialization. Socialization - the process of assimilation of norms accepted in society and the development of social roles. Socialization is primary (childhood) and secondary (lasts a lifetime).

self-knowledge - a process during which each person comprehends his abilities, desires, opportunities, interests.

Self-realization - the process of the most complete identification and implementation by the individual of his abilities to achieve the intended goals in solving personally significant problems, which allows the fullest possible realization of the creative potential of the individual.

1) Cognition (based on intelligence)

2) Emotions - short-term experiences about situations and phenomena of reality (surprise, joy, anger, fear)

3) Feelings - emotional states that last longer than emotions (friendship, love, longing, patriotism)

4) Worldview - a system of general views on the world. Worldview can be: religious, ordinary, scientific.

Freedom and responsibility

freedom - the ability to act on the basis of choice, realizing responsibility for it.

The freedom of a person in society is limited by the freedom of other people. Freedom is manifested in the ability to control one's behavior. The regulator of such behavior is conscience.

In a broad sense - part of the world isolated from nature.

In a narrow sense - a circle of people united by a common goal, interests, origin; - historical periods of development of society.

Society is characterized by unpredictability, non-linearity of development.

Nature:

In a broad sense - the whole world.

3) the impact can be improving (creation of nature reserves, tightening environmental legislation) or worsening (depletion of natural resources)

Nature: 1) creates the conditions for the existence of society

2) natural conditions affect the economy and lifestyle of society

3) in response to human actions, nature can also “deteriorate”

community life (natural disasters)

Typology of societies

comparisons

Agricultural

(traditional)

Industrial

(informational)

Economy

The main value is land, 75% of the population is engaged in agriculture

The main value is capital, 85% of the population is employed in industry, mass industrial production

The main value is knowledge, 66% of the population is employed in the service sector, automation of production, computerization of society

social structure

Society can develop in the following ways:

1) Evolution- gradual development, reforms are the way of transformation.

2) The revolution- a radical, qualitative change in all or several aspects of public life (a scientific and technological revolution leads to a transformation in the production sphere, a revolution in politics leads to a change in the form of government).

Progress- the direction of development, which is characterized by a transition from the lower to the higher, moving forward to a more perfect one. (Regress - reverse movement)

A distinctive feature of the development of modern society is globalization.

.

Social sphere of society covers the relationship between people, groups, associations. Society has a social structure - an internal structure.

Elements of the social structure of society:

I. Social groups- stable populations of people who have distinctive, only inherent features (social status, interests, value orientations).

Types of social groups:

by number:

    small group(from 2 to 30 people). In a small group, people know each other well (personally know each other), are engaged in some common business. The presence of emotionally colored interpersonal relationships, stability and constancy of the composition. For example - a family, a school class, an airplane crew.

    Big group. A large set of people occupying the same position in the structure of society and having, as a result, common interests. For example - nation, class.

for interaction:

    Formal(official). Its activities are determined through regulatory documents (school class, football team "Zenith")

    informal(unofficial). Its activities are determined by the personal interests of its participants (poetry circle, the organization of fans of the football team "Zenith", a group of friends)

Family- a small social group based on marriage or consanguinity, whose members are connected by a common life, moral and legal responsibility.

Family Functions:

1) Reproductive (biological reproduction of the population)

2) Socialization (upbringing of children, formation of the individual as a person)

4) Emotional (psychological support)

5) Spiritual and moral (personality development)

Family types:

according to the nature of the distribution of household duties:

    Traditional (patriarchal) - household duties are performed by a woman, a man earns money and is the head of the family.

    Partnership - duties are not shared, they are performed jointly or in turn, the most important issues of family life are resolved together.

related structure:

    Nuclear, small (married couple with children)

    Extended, multigenerational (married couple with children and one of the relatives living with them)

    Incomplete (single parent with child or children)

by number of children

*Large * Few * Childless

II. Social communities- sets of people characterized by relative integrity and acting as independent subjects of historical and social action.

    ethnic communities- exist in a certain territory, have a common historical experience, historical memory, language and cultural traditions. Varieties: tribe, nationality, nation

    Classes- differ in place in the system of social production, in relation to the means of production, role in the social organization of labor, methods and amounts of wealth received. For example: the bourgeoisie, the working class, or the upper class, the middle class, the lower class.

    socially-demographic communities (elderly people, teenagers)

The youth- a group of people from 16 to 25 years old, problems - it is difficult to find a place in life, get interesting job offers due to lack of life experience.

    Socio-territorial(townspeople, rural population, Siberians)

    Professional(miners, teachers, doctors)

Different social groups and communities occupy different social positions.

In society since primitive times there has been inequality- uneven distribution of scarce resources (money, power, education and prestige) between different segments of the population.

Indicators of social status can be: wealth, income power, profession, education, prestige, lifestyle.

social status- the position of a person in society, which he occupies in accordance with his age, gender, origin, profession, marital status. (A person can have many statuses, this will be called a status set. Among them, there may be basic and non-basic)

    Prescribed status - does not depend on the merits of the individual (sex, nationality)

    Achievable status - acquired as a result of free choice, personal effort and is under the control of a person

social role- the behavior of a person expected by society, associated with his position in society and typical of his social group. (One person can have many roles, collectively they are called a role set. For example: at work - an employee, at home - a husband, visiting parents - a son, in a company of friends - a friend, on election day - a voter, etc. )

It is customary to distinguish between two main forms of social interaction:

1) Cooperation - mutual interest, the benefits of interaction for both parties, the interaction is aimed at achieving joint goals. Relationships of friendship, partnership, support.

2) Rivalry - the absence of a common goal, but the presence of a similar goal with respect to an indivisible object (economic, political competition). Relationships of envy, hostility, anger.

When incompatible views, positions and interests collide, rivalry can develop into conflict.

Conflict- a clash of two people or social groups for the possession of something that is equally highly valued by both parties.

Types of social conflicts:

1) Economic 2) Interethnic 3) Political 4) Family and household

Experts identify the following solutions social conflicts:

    Negotiations (peaceful conversation of the parties to solve the problem)

    Compromise (solving a problem through mutual concessions)

    Mediation (using a third party to resolve a problem)

    Use of force, authority, law (unilateral use by the side that considers itself stronger)

Social conflicts have both negative consequences (stress, unrest, victims) and positive consequences (removal of social tension, stimulation of social changes).

Human behavior in society can be:

1) Relevant norms (conformist)

2) Deviant (does not meet the standards - deviant)

Unified State Examination in Social Studies - 2019: preparation plan

In 2018, 17.4% of graduates did not pass the minimum score at the Unified State Exam in social studies, which is more than in 2017. Analysis of the results showed that many participants in the exam did not read the tasks carefully and did not understand the requirements. Based on the indicators of previous years and the demo version of the USE-2019, the author of the teaching aids Roman Pazin explained what the preparation stages should include, and analyzed the most difficult tasks.

Preparation plan

    Remember that preparation for the USE in any subject cannot be separated from the study of this subject in primary and secondary schools.

    Warn students: the Unified State Exam in social studies is a difficult exam. Many "weak" graduates choose it only because they mistakenly consider it simple.

    Run initial diagnostics.

    Carry out periodic milestone diagnostics (for example, after each studied section), using thematic works.

    Gradually form certain subject skills through training tasks.

    In the test part, pay special attention to tasks number 8, 14, 19 and 20. The result of their implementation in 2018: less than 59%. Most often, students make mistakes in tasks that require knowledge of the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

    Draw the attention of graduates to the criteria for completing the second part.

    Grab the options for KIM in social studies at the final stage of preparing for the exam. Direct study of KIM is necessary, first of all, in order to work out the pace of work, get used to the format for recording answers, and consolidate the formed methods for performing specific tasks.

Analysis of tasks of the second part

Tasks 21-24

United around a fragment of popular science text. They check the ability to find, consciously perceive and accurately reproduce information, apply it in a given context, compose a description of the text and its individual provisions on the basis of the studied course, use information from the text in another cognitive situation, independently formulate and argue judgments related to the problems of the text. To complete it, you must carefully read both the text and the questions to it (the source of the answer is indicated in the questions).

Student tips:

    Understand exactly what is required for a successful response.

    Determine what parts the task consists of.

    Try to complete all the tasks.

    If you can answer only part of the question, be sure to write down the answer (each element of the answer is scored; an incomplete but correct answer will earn you extra points).

    Do not go beyond the scope of the question, do not try to write everything you know about the problem, do not evaluate the opinion of the author and do not seek to express your point of view, if this is not expressly provided for in the task.

    Practice as often as possible.

The handbook contains detailed theoretical material on all topics tested by the Unified State Examination in social studies. After each section, multi-level tasks are given in the form of the exam. For the final control of knowledge at the end of the handbook, training options are given that correspond to the exam. Students do not have to search for additional information on the Internet and buy other manuals. In this guide, they will find everything they need to independently and effectively prepare for the exam.

Task 25

It tests the ability to independently reveal the meaning of key social science concepts and apply them in a given context. This is a difficult task, in 2018 only 30% of the examinees completed it. In this regard, in the new demo version, the division of the task into points appeared, the evaluation criteria became clearer.

For successful implementation, you need to remember the formula of the concept:

Concept = generic trait + species traits

Examples:

command economy- a type of economic system based on the predominance of state ownership, state planning, centralized pricing with the determining role of the state in the economy.

Republic- a form of government in which the supreme power in the state is elected by the population for a period specified by law directly or is formed by a representative national body.

Task 26

It checks the ability to concretize with examples the studied theoretical positions and concepts of the social sciences that form the social science course.

Most often presented in one of two models:

    “Uncover with examples” (“Uncover the relationship between mass and folk culture using three examples”).

    “Illustrate with examples” (“Name any three trends in the development of modern education and illustrate each of them with an example”).

Task 27

Task. It is aimed at analyzing the presented information, including statistical and graphical information, explaining the relationship of social objects and processes, formulating and arguing independent evaluative, prognostic and other judgments, explanations, and conclusions. This is how the ability to apply social science knowledge in the process of solving cognitive problems on topical social problems is tested.

In the structure, the task has a condition (a problem situation, a social fact, statistical data, a problematic statement, etc.) and a requirement (a question or a system of questions, some indication of how to interpret the condition). For successful completion, the student must have basic theoretical knowledge, be able to apply them to the analysis of a specific situation, give a clear, logically connected answer.

Example:

During the summer holidays, 17-year-old schoolboy Valery decided to get a job as a courier. During the interview, the employer explained that Valery would be hired without a probationary period and a medical examination, but in order to conclude an employment contract, it is necessary to obtain the consent of at least one of Valery's parents. What in the above conditions for concluding an employment contract is contrary to Russian law? (Name two contradictions.) Name any two features of labor regulation for workers under 18 years of age that are not mentioned in the problem statement.

Task 28

It is required to draw up a plan for a detailed answer on a specific topic of a social science course. This is how the skills to systematize and generalize social information, to establish and reflect in terms of structural, functional, hierarchical and other connections of social objects, phenomena, processes are revealed. Difficult task: in 2018, only 27% of graduates corrected with it. An essay plan on social studies must contain at least three paragraphs, including two “mandatory” paragraphs (detailed in subparagraphs). It is important to avoid errors and inaccuracies.

Job types:

    Drawing up a response plan on a broad topic (“global model”). In this case, there is no need to consider an even broader topic and then specify it. Examples of topics: "Activity as a way of people's existence", "Culture and its role in the life of society", "The specificity and role of religion in the life of society".

    Drawing up a response plan on a narrow topic, an aspect of a broad topic (“local model”). In this case, it is advisable to start with the disclosure of a broader concept, and then move on to the specific aspect that should be considered. Examples of topics: "The problem of international terrorism as a global problem of our time", "Religion as a form of spiritual culture".

In practice, 5-8 points are usually compiled, 3-5 of which are detailed in sub-points - this is necessary in order to “guess” at least two points, which the developers put in response as “mandatory”. The points that the examinee knows best (so as not to make social science mistakes) should be disclosed. It is necessary to take into account the context of the task and try to reveal the proposed topic, demonstrating knowledge of the content first of all. It is not necessary to detail all or almost all points of the plan in subparagraphs.

USE in social studies: we analyze tasks with a teacher

My students, graduates of 2017, who successfully passed the Unified State Examination in social studies, claim that the recommendation to read the entire text of the work before starting the tasks gives a good effect when doing the work. When reading the work, emotional stress is removed, brain activity is directed to the analysis of materials, and the graduate is included in productive cognitive activity, leading to high scores for the performance of the work.

As materials for work, we use the version of the Unified State Examination in Social Studies in 2017 (early period), published by FIPI in the spring of 2017.

Part 1

Task number 1

Write down the missing word in the table.

Factors of production and factor income

When performing task number 1, you need to carefully look at the name of the table. In our case, the table is called Factors of Production and Factor Income. One of the factors of production is indicated: entrepreneurship (entrepreneurial ability) and its factor income is indicated: profit. Knowledge of the main factors of production: land, labor, capital (physical and monetary), entrepreneurial abilities of information is inextricably linked with the knowledge of factor income as income that the owner receives from the use or application of factors of production. Labor - wages, land - rent, capital - interest, entrepreneurial ability, information - profit. The table shows factor income - rent, which means that in the first column we can safely enter such a factor of production as Earth. The correct answer is earth. When preparing, it is important for the student to know the full characteristics of all factors of production.

Task number 2

In the row below, find the concept that is generalizing for all the other concepts presented. write it down word (phrase).

State shape, form of government, unitary state, federation, republic.

Answer: ___________________________.

In task number 2, it is always necessary to clearly define the generic concept (in the question it sounds like a generalizing concept). In our version, the following are presented: the form of the state, as device the political organization of society (it is important to remember that this is also a certain set of characteristics by which we determine the way the organization and structure of the state); form of government, which is determined by the composition of the highest bodies of state power and the order of their formation, as well as by their interaction with the population of the state; a unitary state, which refers to one of the forms of state-territorial structure, like a federation; A republic is a form of government. For my students, I always strongly recommend that, in a draft, as soon as they begin to complete tasks related to the topic "Politics", draw a diagram:

This is important because a typical mistake that graduates make when conducting trial exams is related to mixing concepts. And when the scheme is in front of your eyes, it will be more difficult to make a mistake.

Accordingly, based on the scheme, it becomes clear that the generic (generalizing concept for everyone else here will be the form of the state, i.e. its versatile characteristics presented in the answer options. The remaining concepts reflect these or other elements. For example, the form of government is given as part of forms of the state and the republic, as one of the types of form of government.

Correct Answer: State.

Task number 3

Below is a list of features. All of them, with the exception of two, belong to the elite culture.

  1. the complexity of the forms used;
  2. the desire of authors to embody their own ideas;
  3. entertaining character;
  4. strong commercial focus;
  5. spiritual aristocracy;
  6. requirement for special training to understand.

Find two characteristics that “drop out” of the general series, and write down the numbers under which they are indicated in the table.

When performing task number 3, we pay attention to the concept in question. In this case, it is “elite culture” and we are asked about the characteristics of this concept. Elite culture is considered in the topic "The spiritual sphere of society." The generic concept is "Culture". In our case, the question is in the plane of varieties of culture (material, spiritual; folk, mass, elite). The task presents the features of an elite culture: the complexity of the forms used, the desire of the authors to embody their own ideas, spiritual aristocracy, the requirement for special training for understanding. Well, really, are we all ready for the perception of Schnittke's musical works, the analysis of Kafka's highly intellectual literary works? What can you say about Rodin's sculptures? It is clear that this culture is designed for a narrow circle of consumers prepared for the perception of complex works. Elite culture is not looking for commercial gain, it is important for authors to express themselves and search for new forms in art.

Two characteristics left out of our attention: entertainment and a pronounced commercial orientation are the most important characteristics of mass culture. Therefore, in this case, we will mark them as correct. Because in the task we are asked to remove unnecessary characteristics.

Task number 4

Choose the correct judgments about society and social institutions and write down numbers under which they are listed.

  1. Society is a constantly developing dynamic system.
  2. Social progress is characterized by degradation, a return to obsolete structures and relationships.
  3. In a broad sense, society is understood as a part of the world isolated from nature, but connected with it, including ways of interaction and forms of uniting people.
  4. Social institutions perform the function of human socialization.
  5. Society is a closed system that does not interact with the external environment.

Answer: ___________________________.

In task number 4, we must find judgments about society and public institutions. Here one cannot do without knowledge of the concepts: “society” in the broad and narrow senses; society as a system; "social institution", as a historically established stable form of organizing joint activities of people, and knowledge of the types of social institutions in the main areas of society.

The first judgment characterizes society as a dynamic developing system - this judgment is correct, since it is an axiom in the course of social science.

The second judgment is incorrect, since progress, which is one of the directions of social development, is characterized by the development of society from the lowest to the highest. And the judgment indicates: degradation, a return to obsolete structures and relationships, which are the qualitative characteristics of another direction of social development - regression.

The third judgment almost completely reproduces the concept of "society" in a broad sense, and therefore is true. It lacks "consisting of individuals with consciousness and will."

The fourth proposition is correct. In the course of socialization, a person learns the experience of previous generations. We know that social institutions set patterns of behavior for people. This is best confirmed by such a social institution as the family, which belongs to the social subsystem of society.

The fifth proposition is not correct. Society is a dynamic, open, self-developing system. It is practically impossible to apply the concepts of a “closed system” that does not interact with the external environment to society. No special evidence is needed here. It suffices to recall the concept of society in the broad sense of "a part of the material world isolated from nature, but closely connected with it."

Thus, the following statements will be correct: 1, 3, 4.

Thematic planning in social studies

Task number 5

Establish a correspondence between the characteristics and types (forms) of activity: for each element given in the first column, select the corresponding element from the second column.

Task number 5 refers to the topic "Activities". Types (forms of activity) are considered: game, teaching, work, communication. To complete this task, it is enough to know the characteristics of each type (form of activity). The imaginary setting is a characteristic of the game (A 4), focus on achieving a practically useful result - to work (a person creates certain objects that satisfy needs) (B 2). Focus on acquiring new knowledge and skills - to learning (IN 3). And none of the types (forms) of activity can do without communication. Therefore, the remaining two characteristics: the process of establishing and developing contacts between people and the focus on the exchange of information reflect the essence of communication. (G 1, D 1). Just remember that in the process of communication people exchange not only information, but also emotions, influencing each other.

With the seeming ease of tasks, it is important not to rush, to conduct an internal dialogue with yourself. Answer the question: why the chosen answer is correct, based on knowledge of concepts.

Task number 6

Students conducted a study of the motives of the educational activities of primary school students. Find in the list below the methods they used that correspond to the empirical level of scientific knowledge. write down numbers under which they are listed.

  1. description of observed phenomena
  2. promotion and substantiation of hypotheses
  3. explanation of existing relationships
  4. direct observation of individual facts and phenomena
  5. fixing generalizations in the form of laws
  6. obtaining quantitative data about the object under study

Answer: ___________________________.

In task number 6, they ask about the empirical level of scientific knowledge and its methods. We immediately mentally turn to the generic concept - “science”, recall the structure of scientific knowledge, which includes levels: empirical and theoretical, and spread the methods related to each level. Remember that empirical methods include: observation, description, measurement, classification, systematization, i.e. with their help, it is possible to identify specific properties of the objects under study, in contrast to the theoretical level, aimed at identifying general trends, laws, etc.

So we found the right answers: 1, 4, 6

Task number 7

Choose the correct judgments about economic systems and write down numbers under which they are listed.

  1. Private property is the basis of a command (planned) economy.
  2. In the conditions of the traditional economy, the main issues of the economy are decided by the central state bodies.
  3. The main subjects of market relations are economically independent participants in economic life.
  4. The stimulus for the activity of enterprises in a market system is profit.
  5. The characteristics of a market economy include free pricing.

Answer: ___________________________.


Task number 7 aims us at the knowledge of the characteristics of economic systems as a way of organizing the economic life of society. Knowledge of the distinctive features of traditional, command (planned) or command-administrative, market and mixed economic systems is the basic knowledge of a graduate who wants to get a high score on the exam.

So let's try. Private property is a prerequisite for the existence of a market model of the economic system. We are told in the judgment that the command economy. This is not true, also because the command economy is dominated by state ownership, as well as the main issues of the economy are decided by the central authorities. So the second statement is also wrong. The third judgment is correct, since in a market economy each owner has the right to freely and independently dispose of his factors of production.

The fourth and fifth judgments are also correct, since in a market economy the freedom of economic activity of individual entities is aimed at making a profit in a competitive environment and market mechanisms determine the price.

Right answers: 3, 4, 5.

Task number 8

Establish a correspondence between examples and types of taxes and fees in the Russian Federation (in accordance with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation): for each item given in the first column, select the appropriate item from the second column.

Write in the table the selected numbers under the corresponding letters.

Task No. 8 is related to the financial literacy of the graduate, namely, knowledge of the types of taxes and fees in the Russian Federation. The task defines the levels of taxes collected: federal, regional and local. When performing this task, it is important to clearly distinguish between types of taxes by levels:

Thus, in our task, we again apply the empirical ranking method: A 3, B 3, C 1, D 3, D 2.

Task number 9

Firm Y is a tailoring studio for wedding dresses. Find examples of firm Y's short run variable costs in the list below and write down numbers under which they are listed.

  1. interest expense on a previously taken loan
  2. expenses for the purchase of fabrics, threads, accessories
  3. cost of paying piecework wages to employees
  4. studio space rent
  5. payment for consumed electricity
  6. insurance premiums

Answer: ___________________________.

Task number 9 requires knowledge of the topic "Firm" and its key concepts: revenue, costs and profits. The assignment should clearly state the company's variable costs in the short run, as opposed to fixed costs.

To complete the task without error, it is also necessary to remember that variable costs change when the volume of production changes.

A firm's credit history will always be a fixed cost, so the first option is not correct. But the acquisition of fabrics, threads, accessories refers to consumables, which means to variable costs, as well as payment of piecework wages to employees, in contrast to salaries, which are fixed costs of the company. Rent, insurance premiums are fixed costs of any company. And here is the payment consumed electricity (depending on the volume of work of the company) - will be a variable cost.

Right answers: 2, 3, 5 .

Social science. Grade 11. A basic level of. Textbook.
Authors: Nikitin A.F., Gribanova G.I., Martyanov D.S.
The textbook is included in the educational and methodological complex in social science for grade 11 (basic level). Corresponds to the Federal State Educational Standard of secondary (complete) general education, included in the Federal List. The textbook deals with the most important issues of economics and law. The methodological apparatus of the textbook includes the headings "Think, compare, draw conclusions", "Check our knowledge", "Research, design, discuss, argue".

The figure shows the change in the supply of chairs in the relevant market: the supply line S moved to a new position S 1 . (P- price; Q- amount.)


Which of the following factors can cause such a change? write down numbers under which they are listed.

  1. an increase in the cost of upholstery materials for chairs
  2. increase in the wages of workers in enterprises that produce chairs
  3. reducing the cost of materials for the frame of chairs
  4. reduction of taxes levied on furniture manufacturers
  5. increase in electricity tariffs for furniture manufacturers

Answer: ___________________________.

Task number 10 requires a very careful reading of the question. It is necessary to understand what they are asking: about a change in the magnitude of demand or the magnitude of supply? In this case, the supply of chairs in the relevant market has changed. By observing the change in the supply curve, we can say that the supply has decreased. When completing the task, you need to remember that the change in supply is affected by the cost of production factors, technology, government tax policy, government support, price expectations, competition, etc.

Therefore, the first answer is that an increase in the cost of materials for upholstery of chairs will just help to reduce the supply of this product on the market. The answer is correct. An increase in the wages of workers increases the cost of such a factor of production as labor, but at the same time lowers the supply of this product on the market. The answer is correct. The third option should lead to an increase in supply, since a decrease in the cost of raw materials leads to an increase in the supply of goods on the market (in our case, a decrease in the cost of material for the frame). The answer is not correct. Tax cuts will also increase supply. The answer is not correct. But the increase in electricity tariffs for furniture manufacturers will increase variable costs and reduce supply. So, an increase in the cost of consumables, electricity tariffs, wages of workers will force the company to either reduce production volumes or increase the cost of goods, which will lead to a decrease in supply on the market.

Right answers: 1, 2, 5 .

Task number 11

Choose the correct judgments about social stratification and social mobility and write down numbers under which they are listed.

  1. Horizontal mobility implies a transition to a social group located at a different level of the social hierarchy.
  2. One of the criteria for differentiating social groups is income.
  3. The personal qualities of a person act as a criterion for the social stratification of modern society.
  4. Sociologists distinguish between individual and collective mobility.
  5. One of the criteria for the social stratification of society is the volume of power.

Answer: ___________________________.

Performing task No. 11, we proceed from the knowledge of the concepts of "social stratification" and "social mobility", the criteria for social stratification, and the types of social mobility.

Horizontal mobility involves the transition from one social group to another, located on the same rung of the social ladder. Therefore, the first statement is not correct. Differentiation (separation) of social groups in society occurs according to many criteria, one of which is income. And also the amount of power, education, prestige of the profession. The second and fifth judgments are correct, unlike the third. The personal qualities of a person are not a criterion of social stratification. The fourth proposition is correct because sociologists do distinguish between individual and collective mobility. For example, under the influence of the events of the revolution of 1917, there was a shift in the position of social groups.

Right answers: 2, 4, 5.

In the course of sociological surveys of adult residents of countries Z and Y, they were asked the question: “Which of the directions of the youth policy of the state do you consider the most important?”

The results of the surveys (in % of the number of respondents) are shown in the diagram.


Find in the list of conclusions that can be drawn from the diagram, and write down numbers under which they are listed.

  1. The proportion of those who note the importance of providing access to decision-making in the economy, public life, and politics is smaller in country Z than in country Y.
  2. Equal proportions of respondents in each country consider it necessary to carry out educational work.
  3. In country Z, the opinion about the importance of providing access to decision-making in the economy, public life, and politics is less popular than the opinion about the importance of educational work.
  4. In country Y, equal proportions of respondents point out the creation of conditions for self-expression, self-realization of young people and educational work with them as the most important areas.
  5. The share of those who consider the provision of social support as the most important is larger in country Z than in country Y.

Answer: ___________________________.

Performing task number 12, you need to carefully read the conditions of the sociological survey. In this case, the most important areas of the youth policy of the two countries were clarified. The chart shows the data for these countries. Before reading the presented judgments, you should carefully study the diagram yourself. In each of the countries, the leading position was taken by the answer “provision of social support”. Further, in country Z, the position “carrying out educational work” was in second place, and the minimum position was occupied by the judgment “providing access to decision-making ...”. In country Y, equally minimal positions were occupied by the judgments “providing access to decision-making ...” and “creating conditions for self-expression”. After we have independently tried to analyze statistical materials, we try to analyze judgments.

The first judgment is correct, since the diagram data demonstrate this position. The second judgment is not correct, since there are more people in country Z who consider “carrying out educational work” important compared to country Y.

The third judgment is correct, and we saw this during our own analysis of the diagram.

The fourth judgment is also true, we also determined this during the analysis of the diagram and marked these positions as minimally the same.

The fifth judgment is not true, this is clearly seen in the diagram. The figures show the opposite result.

Right answers: 1, 3, 4.

Task number 13

Choose the correct judgments about the state and its functions and write down numbers under which they are listed.

  1. The environmental requirements established by the state form the basis of the country's environmental security.
  2. The fundamental feature of a state of any type is the implementation of the principle of separation of powers in it.
  3. The state has the monopoly right to legally apply coercion by forces of law enforcement and security agencies.
  4. The external functions of the state include determining the general direction of the economic policy of the state in accordance with the achieved level of economic development.
  5. The state creates a regulatory and organizational basis for the effective and high-quality activities of state bodies.

Answer: ___________________________.

Performing task number 13, it is important to remember the concept of "state", its main features, external and internal functions. The first judgment directs us to such a sign of the state as the exclusive right for lawmaking. Therefore, the judgment “environmental requirements established by the state ( lawmaking), form the basis of countries' environmental security" is correct. The second judgment is not true, because the principle of separation of powers is implemented in a democratic state, and, therefore, this feature is not fundamental for any type of state.

The third proposition “the state has the monopoly right to legally apply coercion by the forces of law and order and security” in fact, sends us to the most important feature of the state - the monopoly legal right to coercion. The fourth judgment is erroneous, since it reflects the most important internal function of the state "determining the general direction of the state's economic policy." The fifth judgment brought together two features of the state: law-making and a system of bodies and mechanisms for exercising public authority (we are talking about state authorities). We read: "The state creates normative and institutional framework for efficient and high-quality activities government agencies.

Right answers: 1, 3, 5 .

Task number 14

Establish a correspondence between the issues and the subjects of state power of the Russian Federation, to which these issues relate: for each position given in the first column, select the appropriate position from the second column.

Write in the table the selected numbers under the corresponding letters.

For the correct fulfillment of task No. 14, it is necessary to have a good knowledge of the fundamentals of the constitutional order of the Russian Federation and the functionality of all branches of power in the Russian Federation. To begin with, you need to carefully look at which subjects of state power of the Russian Federation are indicated in the assignment. In our case, they are not named directly, but the levels are indicated: only the federal center and jointly the federal center and the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Knowledge of the principles of the federal structure of the Russian Federation will come to the rescue. Remember that in a federation the principle of the integrity of the state, the unity of state power, and the delimitation of powers are implemented, which is what we are asked about. Earlier, we saw the separation of powers when doing the task about taxes. You need to remember what is in the exclusive competence of the federal authorities: all issues of international relations, defense and security, judiciary, federal property, etc.

The first competence - issues of ownership, use and disposal of land, subsoil, water and other natural resources are jointly administered A 2. Those. it is a question on which the center and the subjects share responsibility in solving problems. So, it would be correct to attribute to the same position “implementation of measures to combat disasters” IN 2. Federal funds for regional development implement the fundamentals of federal policy and federal programs, therefore B 1. Positions D and E are within the exclusive competence of the federal authorities, therefore G 1, D 1.

Task number 15

In the democratic state Z, in the course of the reform of the electoral system of parliamentary elections, a transition was made from a proportional electoral system to a majoritarian one.

Which of the following remained unchanged during this electoral reform? Write down the relevant numbers.

  1. free and voluntary participation of citizens in elections
  2. granting the right to vote to citizens from the age of 18, regardless of nationality, gender, professional affiliation, level of education, income
  3. secret ballot procedure
  4. single-member district voting
  5. dependence of the number of deputy mandates received by the party on the number of votes
  6. the possibility of nominating independent non-partisan candidates

Answer: ___________________________.

Question number 15 is related to the electoral process. Despite the fact that at the beginning of the question they explain to us the reform, during which there was a transition from a proportional electoral system to a majoritarian one. The essence of the question is not so much about the types of electoral systems, their reform, but about elections as a whole(topic "Political participation"). We need to remember the basic principles of elections in a democratic state: direct participation of citizens, universal, equal, direct suffrage, secret ballot, voluntary participation.

Accordingly, the first proposition is correct. The second judgment relates us to the principle of equality in suffrage, therefore it is also true. The third judgment is correct, one of the principles is also presented - secret ballot.

The fourth judgment goes beyond the question: which of the following remained unchanged during this electoral reform? Voting in single-mandate districts sends us to the organization of the electoral process under the majoritarian system, as opposed to proportional, where the state acts as a single constituency. This means that this judgment reflects a change in the electoral process. The answer is not correct in our case. The dependence of the number of deputy mandates received by the party on the number of votes also applies to the proportional electoral system, which is not true for our question. The sixth option also reflects the majoritarian electoral model.

Correct answer: 1, 2, 3 .

Task number 16

Which of the following applies to the political rights (freedoms) of a citizen of the Russian Federation? write down numbers under which they are listed.

  1. holding meetings and rallies
  2. appeal to government agencies
  3. payment of legally established taxes and fees
  4. defense of the Fatherland
  5. participation in the management of state affairs through their representatives

Answer: ___________________________.

Question number 16 again brings us back to the foundations of the constitutional order of the Russian Federation. Rights and freedoms of man and citizen. It is important to know four groups of rights and freedoms: personal (civil), political, socio-economic, cultural. Our task asks about political rights, which ensure the participation of citizens in the exercise of political power. Therefore, holding meetings and rallies is correct, appealing to state bodies is correct, participating in the management of state affairs through one's representatives is correct. Payment of taxes and fees, protection of the Fatherland are among the constitutional duties of a citizen, as well as compliance with the Constitution and laws of the Russian Federation, concern for the preservation of historical and cultural heritage, care for children and disabled parents.

Right answers: 1, 2, 5 .

Task number 17

Select the correct judgments about family law in the Russian Federation and write down numbers under which they are listed.

  1. Family law regulates property and personal non-property relations between family members.
  2. Marriage is suspended due to the announcement by the registry office of one of the spouses as deceased.
  3. Marriage is concluded in the civil registry offices (ZAGS).
  4. The legal regime of property of the spouses is established only by the marriage contract.
  5. Parents are required to provide maintenance for their minor children.

Answer: ___________________________.

Analyzing the materials of assignment No. 17, we single out the basic concepts and norms related to family law. The first judgment will be correct, as it refers us to Article 2 of the Family Code. The key institution of family law is a marriage concluded in the registry offices (judgment 3), which gives rise to mutual rights and obligations of spouses. The second judgment confuses us a little, it is known that in connection with the death of one of the spouses, the second spouse needs to come to the registry office to get a certificate about his death, and as a consequence of this, termination of marriage. In our task, it is formulated: the marriage is suspended as a result of the announcement by the registry office of one of the spouses as dead. The answer is not correct. The fourth and fifth options send us to the property rights and obligations of the spouses. The fifth option is correct, since the wording is at the junction of constitutional obligations and family law: parents are obliged to provide maintenance for their minor children. But the fourth option is erroneous because of its wording: the legal regime of property of the spouses is established only marriage contract. This is not true, because Not only marriage contract, but also the norms of family law, i.e. The legal regime of the property of the spouses is regulated by family law and established by the marriage contract.

Right answers: 1, 3, 5 .

Task number 18

Establish a correspondence between examples and measures of legal liability in the Russian Federation: for each position given in the first column, select the corresponding position from the second column.

Write in the table the selected numbers under the corresponding letters.

Task number 18 is related to legal liability. When completing a task, it is important to remember the types of legal liability: criminal, administrative, civil and disciplinary. A reprimand is a disciplinary sanction - A 2. The warning refers to the type of administrative punishment - B 3. Dismissal on relevant grounds (for example, absenteeism, a single gross violation of labor duties, repeated failure by an employee to perform labor duties, etc.) - IN 2. Notice - disciplinary action G 2. Deprivation of liberty - criminal liability for committing a crime - D 1.

Task number 19

Joint Stock Company "Sweet Charm" produces confectionery. Find in the above list the features of the difference between a joint-stock company and other organizational and legal forms of enterprises. write down numbers under which they are listed.

  • division of the authorized capital of the company into equal parts, each of which is issued by a security
  • obligatory conclusion of an employment contract with employees
  • duty of employees to observe labor discipline
  • distribution of profit among employees in accordance with their labor participation
  • bearing the risk of loss within the value of the securities owned by the participant
  • payment of dividends to owners at the end of the year

Answer: ___________________________.

To complete task number 19, it is necessary to distinguish between the organizational and legal forms of enterprises. In our case, highlight the distinctive features of a joint-stock company. We recall that joint-stock companies, like limited liability companies, are business companies. These are commercial organizations, i.e. the purpose of their activities is to make a profit. The authorized capital is divided into a certain number of shares. Participants can be citizens, legal entities and public legal entities. Therefore, answer option 1 - "dividing the authorized capital of the company into equal parts, each of which is framed by a security" will be correct. It is known that the shareholders are not liable for the obligations of the JSC, but they bear the risk of losses on the activities of the company within the value of their shares. Therefore, option 5 - "carrying the risk of loss within the value of the securities owned by the participant" (share - security) will be correct, as well as answer 6 - "payment of dividends to owners at the end of the year." Judgments 2 and 3 - “mandatory conclusion of an employment contract with employees”, “duty of employees to observe labor discipline” refer to the general places of the Labor Law. But "the distribution of profits among employees in accordance with their labor participation" is a characteristic of such an organizational and legal form of an enterprise as a "production cooperative" (artel).

Right answers: 1, 5, 6 .

  7. personality
  8. pursuit
  9. communication

The table below lists the letters that represent the missing words. Write in the table under each letter the number of the word you have chosen.

When completing task number 20, I recommend that you first try to read the text and substitute the words yourself, in your opinion, suitable in meaning. Thus, a semantic understanding of the content of the text is achieved. And when you read it again, choose the words from the list. You will have a situation of success when your chosen words match those proposed from the list. So, we try to read, inserting words that are close in meaning, then choose from those available in the task.

“A person who actively masters and purposefully transforms nature, society and himself is personality (A)(personality is a set of socially significant properties and qualities of a person. Where a person is formed - in society. What a person does - transforms the world and himself). This is a person with his socially formed and individually expressed qualities: intellectual (B), emotional-volitional, moral, etc. (in this case, socially significant qualities are listed). Their formation is due to the fact that the individual, together with other people, activities (B) cognizes and changes the world and himself (one of the definitions of activity is the conscious activity of a person, during which a person changes the world around him and changes himself; the process of human interaction with the outside world). The process of this cognition in the course of assimilation and reproduction of social experience is at the same time a process socialization (D).

Personality is defined as a special form of existence and development of social ties, a person's relationship to the world and with the world, to himself and with himself.

This is a person who has his own position in life, who shows independence of thought, carries responsibility (E) for your choice (freedom and responsibility in human life).

Part 2

Read the text and do tasks 21-24.

In a broad sense, underemployment is a situation in which the work performed does not require the full use of the qualifications and professional training of the individual, does not meet his expectations and does not allow him to receive the salary that he could receive by performing that work (and in that amount) which could be claimed...

Cyclical unemployment is associated with fluctuations in the demand for labor. A recession is a cyclical decline in business activity that causes people to lose their jobs for a period until demand picks up again and business activity recovers. Seasonal unemployment occurs due to seasonal fluctuations in the demand for labor. It affects those employed in fishing, construction and agriculture. Those who change jobs, and those who are currently unemployed due to moving from one place to another, are called functional (frictional) unemployed. Functional (frictional) unemployment is considered an inevitable but still acceptable consequence of a healthy economy. It can be assumed that even with full employment, employees will move from place to place.

Structural unemployed people find it difficult to get a job due to insufficient or no longer sufficient qualifications, discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, age or disability. Even during periods of high employment, the structural unemployed remain disproportionately unemployed.

Unemployment is not just a lack of work... While unemployment can be a creative, will-mobilizing challenge, most people who have gone through it say they have experienced despair, powerlessness, and confusion, especially if they have been out of work for more than a few weeks. For the majority of people, employment is the main, and often the only, means of providing material needs for food, clothing, and a roof over their heads. Studies show that those who do not like their work still prefer to keep it even when given the opportunity to live on other incomes. Although working conditions can cause adverse effects, being out of work leads to no less problems: increased stress, family conflicts, addiction to alcohol and drugs.

Starting to complete tasks on the text 21-24, you should initially read the text very carefully and highlight the main semantic fragments of the text. Work through the text with a pen for maximum assimilation of the content. I do not recommend that my students immediately read the question and randomly, with a cursory reading, look for answers. As a rule, this practice leads to erroneous answers and lower scores on the exam.

Task number 21

How does the text indicate the impact of the recession on cyclical unemployment? What sectors of the economy, according to the author, are affected by seasonal unemployment? (Indicate all industries mentioned in the text.) How does the author explain the inevitability of functional (frictional) unemployment?

Answer: “A recession is a cyclical downturn in business activity that causes people to lose their jobs for a period until demand picks up again and business activity recovers.” Those. demand for labor fluctuates.

Task number 22

Task number 22 is also best done in parts.

Answer: “underemployment is a situation in which the work performed does not require the full use of the qualifications and professional training of the individual, does not meet his expectations and does not allow him to receive the salary that he could receive by performing that work (and in that amount) for which I could apply…”

Suggest why some workers settle for part-time employment (make two suggestions). When completing this assignment, I recommend that students write down each assumption on a new line.

In our case, we can model the answer using text. We do not provide examples because it is not specified in the task.

Answer: employees agree to part-time employment, because it is important for a person to feel significant, necessary. Even part-time employment gives a person a sense of stability, relieves social tension, and makes it possible to participate in public life.

Workers agree to part-time employment, because in a crisis, even such work can be the only source of income for their families, protection from social upheavals, and allows them to save their lifestyle.

Task number 23

The author notes that "even during periods of high employment among the structural unemployed, disproportionately high unemployment persists." Using social science knowledge, explain the reason for this level of unemployment among these categories of citizens. Name any two measures to prevent discrimination of the categories of citizens indicated by the author, provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

The author gives us the reasons for high unemployment among the structural unemployed: insufficiently high or insufficient qualifications, discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, age or disability. But the task requires the use of social science knowledge. We recall that from the course of social science we know that structural unemployment is associated with the impossibility of finding employment for people of certain professions and the discrepancy between supply and demand in the labor market.

Answer: A high level of structural unemployment, even during periods of high employment in the country, is usually associated with changes in production technologies and scientific and technological progress. Those. people of certain professions are no longer in demand on the labor market (examples are not required in the assignment, only an explanation of the problem).

Name any two measures to prevent discrimination of the categories of citizens indicated by the author, provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation. In this case, we are asked to refer to the norms of the Labor Law of the Russian Federation, since it regulates relations in the field of wage labor.

Answer: The Labor Code of the Russian Federation contains prohibitions on discrimination:

  1. citizens of the Russian Federation have equal opportunities for employees to advance at work, taking into account labor productivity, qualifications and length of service in their specialty, as well as for training and additional professional education;
  2. restrictions on labor rights or gaining benefits based on gender, race, skin color, nationality, language, origin, property, family, social and official status, age, place of residence, attitude to religion, beliefs, membership or non-membership of public associations are prohibited or any social groups, as well as from other circumstances not related to the business qualities of the employee.

As a guarantee of non-admission of discrimination, the Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for the right of a person who considers himself discriminated in the sphere of labor to apply to the court for the restoration of violated rights, compensation for material damage and compensation for moral damage.

Task number 24

Why, according to the author, unemployment causes a state of despair, confusion of a person? Using social science knowledge and the facts of public life, make two assumptions about how the mobilizing effect of the unemployed state on a person is manifested.

Using social science knowledge and the facts of public life, make two assumptions about how the mobilizing effect of the unemployed state on a person manifests itself (in this case, we must give examples, because the question sounds “facts of public life”).

  1. Unemployment provides an incentive for retraining if the profession is in little demand on the labor market. Break in employment for retraining and education. Citizen N, after being registered with the Employment Center, was sent for professional training as an electric and gas welder.
  2. Unemployment provides an opportunity for organizing self-employment. For example, after being fired from his main job during the closure of an enterprise in Moscow, citizen N moved to the Moscow region, submitted documents to the Moscow City Employment Center, where he received advice on starting a farm, assistance in drawing up a business plan and one-time financial assistance.

Task number 25

What is the meaning of social scientists in the concept of "art"? Drawing on the knowledge of the social science course, make two sentences: one sentence containing information about the types of art, and one sentence revealing the essence of the educational function of art.

Task number 25 can be successfully completed only if you know the basic concepts of the course. Art is a form of culture that reflects the surrounding reality in artistic images. The artistic image can be expressed in different types of art: music, painting, architecture, sculpture, literature. Works of art have a great influence on the formation of a person's personality.

  1. Ensure safety and working conditions in accordance with labor protection standards. At enterprise N, in order to improve the working conditions of employees, training sessions were held on injury prevention,
  2. Pay wages in full on time. For delaying the payment of wages, the management of enterprise Y was held liable in the form of forcing employees to pay interest in addition to their salaries.
  3. Provide compulsory social insurance for employees. In the employment contract signed by citizen N with the company, a clause on compulsory social insurance of citizen N was included in the section of the employer's obligations.

When presenting your thoughts on the issue raised (marked topic), when arguing your point of view, use knowledge obtained during the study of the course of social science, corresponding concepts, as well as facts social life and own life experience.

(Give at least two examples from various sources as evidence.)

29.1. Philosophy. “The privilege of fish, rats and wolves is to live by the law of supply and demand; but justice is the law of the life of mankind.” (D. Ruskin)

29.2. Economy. "The types of business are different, but the business as a system remains the same regardless of its scale and structure, products, technologies and markets." (P. Drucker)

29.5. Jurisprudence. “Protection of law is a duty to society. He who defends his right defends the right in general. (R. Iering)

Exercise 29. 3. “We need schools that not only teach, which is extremely important, this is the most important thing, but also schools that educate the individual.” (V.V. Putin)

When writing an essay, first of all, it is necessary to clearly represent the sphere of society to which the chosen topic belongs. You should carefully read the proposed topics, analyze your “bag of knowledge”, understand which of the topics you have clearer theoretical ideas, for which of the topics you can give the best examples that reveal the content of the topic.

In this case, we have chosen a topic from the section sociology, social psychology. We understand that the problem of the modern school, the education system is immediately raised. The eternal question: the tasks of education are training and education, what is more important? The issue of socialization is also touched upon - “schools that educate the individual”. I note that we cannot go into the concept of the topic of the spiritual sphere of society here, because we are writing an essay from another section. So let's try to write.

What social order should the school fulfill - to give students only a high level of education? Or to fulfill an equally important mission - the education of the individual?

As is known from the course of social science, education is a way of becoming a person by obtaining knowledge, acquiring skills and abilities, developing creative abilities through a system of social institutions, the most important of which is the school.

When we talk about a school as an institution that provides education, we understand that we are talking about a social institution that has a number of elements: these are educational standards and programs, principles of functioning, including a network of educational institutions and governments.

To improve the quality of education, the state is taking a number of measures: lengthening the training period, increasing the requirements for the level of qualifications of teachers, using the variability of educational programs, building individual educational trajectories for students, equipping schools with modern equipment, and introducing new forms of final certification.

As a result, we see how school graduates demonstrate high scores on the Unified State Examination, which make it possible to take state-funded places in the leading universities of the capital. According to the results of international research presented by the HSE, in which 49 countries took part, Russian primary school students occupy a leading position in the world in reading, mathematics and science. As well as 8th grade math. According to the researchers, this result was achieved due to the introduction of new educational standards, a system of unified state certification.

But is it enough only educational results for society and the individual? The author of the quote clearly points out to us the most important component of the educational process: the upbringing of a person's personality.

Based on the functions of education: economic, social and cultural, it becomes clear that it is in the cultural function - the use of previously accumulated culture in order to educate a person, develop his creative abilities that this problem manifests itself.

In addition to lessons, grades, exams, there is also a school life rich in events: class hours, school festivals, trips, joint trips with classmates around Russia and to other countries.

In all this, the student learns to interact with other people, shows his abilities and talents. It is in this atmosphere that the social function of education is realized. Through the socialization of the individual, the assimilation of social norms, statuses and roles.

As an example, one can cite the favorite film from childhood, “The Eccentric of 5 B”, which vividly demonstrates how the school team, the class forms the personality of Bori. How does he learn responsibility when he is appointed counselor in grade 1.

Thus, V.V. Putin in his statement once again emphasized the importance of understanding by society and the school of the inseparability of the two most important processes associated with the socialization of the individual - education and upbringing.
