Message about the life of modern man. New life for modern man

In the process of many years of research into the impact of sports on society, the fact was revealed that playing sports has a huge impact on the physical and spiritual state of the individual. The influence of sports on people's relationships, the level of sociability, the ability to self-determine and realize one's potential has been established. Sport is a tool for shaping the culture of mankind.

The place of sport among human values ​​is noticeably increasing, because. sports activities are universal tool self-development, creative self-expression and self-realization. Sport is a reflection of the socio-cultural system in which it develops. In Russian society recent decades happened significant changes which affected the transformation of value orientations and attitudes towards physical culture and sports.

AT Soviet period society was characterized by collectivism, responsibility to the group and individuals. It was replaced by a post-industrial one based on a market economy. The actions of people began to be based, first of all, on personal interests, the resulting individualistic orientation is reinforced by the right to privacy of a lifestyle. Increased personal responsibility for one's actions, for one's destiny and life path.

During the reforms of recent decades, it was destroyed Soviet system physical education, the mass physical culture and sports movement has practically lost its significant state support. Sports activities and physical development turned into a private matter, due to the commercialization of a significant share of health and fitness services. This led to a noticeable decrease in the number of people involved in sports, to a decrease in the importance of sports in the general system of values ​​of Russians and, as a result, to a deterioration in public level life.

Market relations that dominate society, as well as the release of the state from social obligations, affect the value system of individual segments of the population. On the value of sports and healthy lifestyle life is oriented, to a greater extent, to representatives of the upper strata of society, for whom sports activities become part of fashion and prestigious consumption. Representatives of low social groups On the contrary, they consider sports activities unnecessary and meaningless.

In the process of many years of research into the impact of sports on society, the fact was revealed that playing sports has a huge impact on the physical and spiritual state of the individual. The influence of sports on people's relationships, the level of sociability, the ability to self-determine and realize one's potential has been established. Sport is a tool for shaping the culture of mankind

The phenomenon of sports is a multifaceted phenomenon of our time. According to the structure, the classification of sports in two directions is acceptable - sports highest achievements and mass sports. The first is the sport of the highest achievements, which means the struggle for first place in sports competitions. The second, opposite, is mass sport, which performs the function of improving people's health through self-expression and self-realization of the individual, satisfying the need for physical development and leisure. Mass sport is a universal tool for eliminating asocial phenomena.

Sport is one of the components of the physical culture of society, which has developed historically in the form of activities that prepare a person for competitions and the competitions themselves. It is the competitive element that distinguishes sports from physical education. Training in both sports and physical education includes similar actions and exercises, but the goal of the athlete is to evaluate, through competitive activity, his physical abilities in individual disciplines and comparing their results with the successes of others. While the athlete is interested in the development of physical qualities for healing and personal improvement.

Mass sport allows you to improve physical qualities and expand opportunities, improve health and prolong longevity, resist the undesirable effects on the body of modern production and everyday life conditions, while involving a large number of members of society.

The purpose of practicing various sports is to improve health, improve physical development, fitness and actively relax. This is due to the solution of a number of particular problems: to increase functionality individual systems of the body, correct physical development and physique, increase overall performance, master the necessary skills and abilities, it is useful to spend leisure time, and achieve physical perfection.

The tasks of mass sports are largely identical to the tasks of physical education, but differ in the component of the implementation of the sports orientation of the training process.

Schoolchildren are already being introduced to the elements of mass sports in Russia, and in some sports even preschoolers. It is mass sports that are most widespread in student groups. As practice shows, in non-physical education universities of the country in the field of mass sports, regular training during after hours conducted by 10 to 25% of students. Modern program on academic discipline"Physical culture" for students of higher educational institutions allows almost every healthy student of any orientation to join one or another type of mass sports. The type of sport, the system of training, as well as the time of their conduct is chosen by the student himself, based on his desires, needs and opportunities.

Mass sports include all those types of physical culture sports activities various groups and segments of the population that are not aimed at achieving the highest sports results and material benefits but on development in accordance with one's own needs and on the solution of various social problems. It should be noted that sports activities complement professional ones and are not the key determining factor in a person's life.

Sport involves not only physical development. Great importance is given to sport in the formation of numerous mental qualities and human properties, acting as a kind of "school of will", "school of emotions", "school of character". It's connected with high demands imposed by sports competitions and all sports activities for the manifestation volitional qualities and to self-regulation.

The problem of the human value of sport and its role in the modern world has been and remains debatable in the research of scientists. The concept of "humanization of sport" is closely related to the concept of humanism, in which everything that contributes to the full development of a person, strengthening his health, and meeting his needs is recognized as humane. However, the most highly organized and perfect activity will be considered as inhumane if it is directed against health, happiness, self-realization and the very existence of a person.

Modern researchers positively evaluate sports in terms of humanistic values ​​and ideals. Scientists note important role sports as a tool for preserving and strengthening the health of people, as well as the development of their physical and personal. sport performs important element in the value system of modern culture.

However, there are supporters negative assessment sports from the standpoint of humanism, who argue that modern sport harms cooperation, forms a vicious division of people into winners and losers; develops negative qualities personality, such as selfishness, aggressiveness, envy, gives rise to the desire to win at any cost, even at the expense of health, violation of moral standards.

The existence of opposing assessments of the humanistic values ​​of sports is due to the fact that a certain abstract, unchanging essence is assigned to sports, while researchers rely on separate, isolated facts and do not take into account the distinguishing points between the two main areas in modern sports: sports of the highest achievements and mass sports, which obviously have different value and humanistic potential.

The importance of sport today is high, it occupies one of the highest positions among sports human activity. However, elite sports have not gone far ahead of the development of physical culture and mass sports, their socio-cultural significance is not lower.

The professionalization of sports is impossible without the development of physical culture and mass sports. With some convention, we can consider sport as a symbol, a concentrated expression of the principles and problems of our time, as an area in which this society the principles of equality of opportunity, achievement of high results and competition are manifested and applied especially clearly and purposefully.

It should be noted that modern civilization focuses on material values. Competition is growing, commercialization of all areas is increasing social activities. At the same time, with the help of industrial civilization, the essence of human passion, which is also sport, is realized not only in its entirety, but in all its humanity. The spirit of competitiveness models the situation of human self-determination, which is carried out in the system "I-Other" or "I-Others". Self-determination is possible if "I" compare my indicators with those of the "Other".

This comparison is a necessary attribute of sports activity, evaluated from the outside. But there are difficulties here too. A person's attitude to his abilities (in particular, the ability to show his activity above the norm) does not look like indifference, shown with might and main in relation to incidents that can happen to them. “Man,” writes E. Levinas, “from now on is thrown into the environment of opportunities, in relation to which he is now engaged, with which he is now involved, from now on he either took advantage of them or missed them. They are not added to his existence from without, like accidents.

Opportunities do not appear before a person in the form of ready-made images that he can evaluate from different angles. Opportunities, rather, are the main ways of a person's existence, since for a person to exist means precisely to take advantage of one's own opportunities, or else to miss them. The possibility of excessive activity is a danger, it must be regulated and backed up by some positive result. Nevertheless, excess activity is beneficial for the survival of the human race as a whole, despite the danger to the individual. A person develops, revealing himself, using his abilities. The possibilities inherent in the individual in the process of his activity gradually "exhaust" themselves; and if the individual does not possess the fundamental potentiality of returning to himself, this original position taken in relation to his own existence, then the very basic being of human existence is called into question.

In Russia, the trend of mass sports began its development in the 30s of the 20th century. The revolution, civil wars states, negatively inclined towards the country - all these factors set the task for the leadership - to raise the level physical training citizens, in the event of an outbreak of popular discontent or foreign attacks. Shooting ranges, shooting galleries, flying clubs, military sports clubs were created throughout the country, in which young people mastered various specialties that were in demand in war time- telegraph operator, pilot, nurse, orderly and many others. The main organizer of the new movement was the Komsomol, on whose initiative the first All-Union sports complex "Ready for Labor and Defense" was opened. The purpose of the organization of which was the introduction of a single set of principles and standards of sports education and physical education. Compulsory classes were introduced in the country, all conditions were organized for the possibility of independent sports as a leisure activity. Active promotion of a healthy lifestyle, physical education and sports was carried out. For decades, Soviet citizens actively participated in the sports life of the country, girls and boys were proud of the badges received for the high result of passing the TRP standards.

The complex had such an attractive force that millions of young people of the Soviet Union went into sports with the highest enthusiasm and achieved such results that they were the best athletes in the world in different areas. The TRP system was a powerful incentive. Preparation for the implementation of the standards developed all muscle groups, increased the level of endurance and health. Thanks to this system, our country has raised the world's best astronauts, which naturally had a positive effect on international position THE USSR.

In 2013, on the eve of the Olympics in Russia, the country's leadership put forward a proposal to revive the TRP complex. As a result of painstaking preparation, in March 2014, a decree was issued “On the All-Russian Physical Culture and Sports Complex “Ready for Labor and Defense” (TRP)”, which decreed the commissioning of the complex from September 1, 2014.

Organizers modern project The TRP calls the revival of the “Ready for Labor and Defense” complex in schools and universities fundamentally important for the formation of such qualities in the younger generation as determination and self-confidence and their capabilities.

Thus, the return of the TRP to Russia is undoubtedly in demand by the new time and existing social factors. Most Russians positively met the new, or rather the well-forgotten old trend. The health of the people, unfortunately, declined in recent years under the influence of stress, the deterioration of the standard of living in the post-Soviet period, is priceless, and its foundation is laid, among other things (and, perhaps, mainly) by similar national events of a regular nature. The mechanism of the basis of the system developed over decades physical education is viable, and one can hope that its implementation will soon initiate progress in the development of Russian sports.

on the topic: "The meaning and purpose of life modern man as factors determining his attitude to his own health”

Completed by: student group OLD 107 Ilityuk Anton Yurievich

The meaning of human life.

Almost every one of us has come across such an expression “the meaning of life”. And for a second he thought, what is the meaning of his life? But what does this expression mean?

The meaning of life is a philosophical and spiritual problem that determines the ultimate goal of existence, the purpose of mankind, man as species, as well as a person as an individual, one of the main worldview concepts that has great value for the formation of the spiritual and moral image of the individual.

The question of the meaning of life can also be considered as a subjective assessment of life, as a person's understanding of the content and direction of his life.

And answering the question “What is the meaning of life?”, It is meant to find answers to the questions:

1. What are life values?

2. What is the purpose of life?

3. Why (for what) to live?

The answers to these questions determine further development human life. Depending on the purpose of life, a person chooses his own path of development. And he sets his priorities.

“From a medical point of view, all organs develop in the direction ultimate goal… The development of the soul is similar to the development organic life. Every person has a concept of a goal or an ideal that is necessary in order to achieve Moreover what is possible for him in the current life situation ... "

Alfred Adler "The Science of Living"

Continuing the Adler comparison, one can see that salivary glands, responsible for the production of saliva, cannot produce blood. Similarly, a person, having chosen a certain goal for himself, cannot achieve everything at once. So he prioritizes the things that are most important to him.

And one of the priorities is health.

The meaning and purpose of life, the factors that determine his attitude to his own health.

Attitude to health is a system of individual, selective connections of a person with various phenomena of the surrounding reality that contribute to or, conversely, threaten people's health, as well as a certain assessment by the individual of his physical and mental state. Attitudes towards health are manifested in the actions, judgments and experiences of people regarding factors that affect their physical and mental well-being.

The attitude to the health of an individual is characterized by four groups of indicators:

1. self-reported health

2. the value of health

3. satisfaction with the state of health

4. health promotion activities.

And all these indicators are imprinted by the meaning of human life. Let's analyze each item separately.

Everyone has their own self-assessment of health. People interested in something may not notice any minor health troubles, whether it is a headache or weakness. People who are engaged in the same business that they do not like, will evaluate their health in such a way as not to engage in this health. For example, a student who does not want to go to school will suddenly notice a slight headache, and a sore throat will feel like a cold. Thus, self-esteem of health will depend on the purpose and meaning of life, and how much a person wants to achieve the goal.

The value of health directly depends on the meaning of life. If the meaning of a person's life puts the good of a person above his own, then he will put his health below the health of others. So, for example, rescuers sacrifice their health and life in order to save the health and life of other people.

Satisfaction with the state of health is also influenced by the purpose and meaning of life. Like self-reported health, this indicator is subjective. It shows how satisfied a person is with his health. A person can be content with poor health if he is able to achieve his life purpose. An example of such a person would be a scientist who receives a Nobel Prize. He may have a cold, he will have a migraine, but that will not stop him, because he has almost reached the goal of his life.

The last indicator is health promotion activities. How does it relate to the meaning and purpose of life? A person may not take care of his health if, for example, he is not worried about some kind of ailment. That is, self-assessment of health, according to a person, is very high - he is healthy. He may not take care of health if it is not valuable to him. That is, the value is zero. He may not look after his health if he is satisfied with it. That is, activity according to the state of life is connected with all previous indicators, and thus with the meaning of life.

meaning self-esteem health mental

So, the meaning and purpose of life is one of the most important factors that determine the attitude to human health. The meaning and purpose of life is directly related to human activity. And human activity is connected with health. Thus, what a person wants from life, what he wants to achieve, leaves an imprint on his health. And unfortunately, many people, in search of meaning or on the path to life, forget about it.

So, for example, in the novel by Erich Maria Remarque "Life on loan" main character sacrificed her poor health (she was seriously ill) left the sanatorium in order to last time look at the world and feel alive. She did not strive to live long, her goal was to live like a normal, healthy man. Also, many great scientists donated for scientific purposes. So Isaac Newton did not care about his health at all - he led a reclusive type of life, sleepless nights, crazy experiments with chemistry (then alchemy). But only by the fact that he also did not strive to live long. The meaning of his life was science, and the goal was discovery.

And he did not pay attention to health. Every day every person does small steps to his life goal, without thinking about how it affects his health. And it should be concluded that health needs to be given a little more attention, despite the purpose and meaning of life. And perhaps then, in life, you will be able to do a little more than achieve your own goal.

How to take your free time? Among the options for filling your leisure time are walking, gatherings in cafes, visiting the theater, concerts, as well as the option often chosen by young people - going to the movies, or just watching at home. good movie. People very often go to cinemas, so to speak, “hang out” while watching a many-hour movie at home or at a party, on the road. In general, to what extent does watching videos affect a person? And is there any benefit in this type of pastime? Dmitry Chebotarev, a 2nd year KDA student, tried to find the answer to these questions.

Of all the art forms, cinema occupies unique place in the modern world and, accordingly, in human life. Cinema is the whole social institution. It affects the life of society, shaping the consciousness of the viewer. In turn, society demands new achievements from cinematography: improvements techniques and creativity of ideas. Thus, there is a constant connection between society and the world of cinema. And this connection is capable of transmitting our feelings, habits, customs and traditions, even immersing a person in the world of his illusions. Moreover, it can be said that the film industry is able to cover almost all spheres of public consciousness. Cinema enables a person to perceive life from a slightly different angle than he perceived it before. But we must understand and remember that cinema cannot replace real life, but only turns it into a kind of illusion. Therefore, the film in some way frees the viewer from the tensions of real time, from different kind negative feelings: longing, guilt, fear ... Cinema unites people - this is one of the most important qualities cinematography.

We, that is, the audience, admire the watched film: the unsurpassed play of actors and stuntmen, the skill of directors, directors and other members of the film crew. But the most important highlight of the film is its emotionality. When we watch a movie, we get a lot of emotions. Together with the heroes of the film, we begin to experience, rejoice, be surprised, and in general, as if we are living another life. Even in this or that film, we can get an answer to a question that has been troubling us before. Although, on the other hand, this may be a pitfall, because emotions are far from always positive. For example, emotions after watching a horror movie.

Frame from the movie "World War Z"

Thus, a movie forms a person's worldview, enriches or robs him spiritually, saturates him emotionally. From here looms another highlight of the cinema - psychological impact per person. Indeed, under its influence, a diverse range of unique feelings can arise. A feature film or an entire television series can bring a smile or tears, joy or sadness, excitement or a sense of peace. Cinema can change internal state person, his character, behavior and even habits. And here we can find another feature of cinema, namely, the transfer of the creator's intention. If the director's intent was for the person to think about some of the ideas and issues that the filmmaker put into their work and draw their own conclusion from it, that's usually what will happen. A film is a world of ideas that a person realizes in his mind.

Cinematography effectively influences a person and occupies a certain place in his life. important place. And in this moment, a certain negative phenomenon can be traced, which we will consider below.

In this context, we can view the "evolution" of cinema.

If you draw a line between the films of the past decade and the present time, you can see the development process both for good and for bad. For example, in Soviet films The policemen were shown as honest, smart and worthy people. We are proud of this profession. And now, in all modern Russian films, policemen and policemen are portrayed as vile individuals who do not respect anyone, and they themselves do not obey the law, which, by the way, they are called to observe. And the public has an opinion that the police are violators of law and order, extortionists, in other words - negative characters. Here is one example of the influence of the film industry on public opinion. Interestingly, in American films, their cops are respected people to whom they always go for help, they are asked for advice. In addition, you can see the change of values ​​in the cinema. If in the same Soviet films scenes of an intimate nature are practically absent, then in modern films this aspect is put on display for everyone to see as the norm.

By the level of development of cinema in the country, one can to some extent judge the state of society in general. Any social problem can be considered in the cinema. Propaganda in the film industry exists in all countries, in all societies. It takes the form of a fight against Nazism, instilling feelings of love for the motherland, a cult of love and pleasure, etc. To some extent, it would be correct to say that the state manipulates the population through cinema. Through film production designed for the mass consumer, it is very convenient, for example, to rewrite history. This can be achieved by distorting the facts of the past in the newsreel, cutting out “unnecessary” places from it, and so on. Emphasis is placed on what is beneficial this moment for certain influential forces of society.

Currently modern society became very attached to watching movies, especially young people. Now, for many, this question will not even make a dilemma: read a book or watch a movie? The answer is obvious - a movie! Sometimes a lot of time is spent watching the next film, but does a person receive any benefit for himself in return, apart from pleasure?

How does the Church view this?

The Orthodox Church does not prohibit watching movies, spending time in cinemas, watching them at home. But we are concerned about the quality of this film production, that is, its direct impact on a person, what emotions the film awakens in a person’s soul.

Man today has become so attached to innovative technologies that even without noticing it became their hostage. For example, we stopped reading printed books, because in fact all the information is already in the computer, and this is much faster and more convenient than a book. Read about one or the other historical era or about prominent figure there is no need for art or the state, because the alternative is a film on a similar theme, a series, a TV show, etc. In principle, at first glance, there is nothing wrong here, because all this is done for convenience, saving time. But it is in this aspect that a certain danger is hidden - the gradual departure of mankind from such a phenomenon as, for example, reading books, regardless of their format. But every Orthodox Christian must read daily Holy Bible. In conclusion, I would like to briefly draw attention to one product of the film industry, which not so long ago caused a lot of noise in our society. Today, a huge surge in popularity, both in terms of viewing in cinemas and reading books, has the film "50 Shades of Grey". This film would have been banned for the general public 10-15 years ago. With christian point it is immoral, vulgar and meaningless. But what's even more astounding is that as of February 20, 2015, the trailer for this film alone has received nearly 96 million views. In contrast to the "immoral hole" of modern cinema, I would like to cite an absolutely opposite product of the film industry in 2012, which is based on real events, called "The Impossible", or the film "Only You". Unfortunately, today they are practically unknown. Despite this, these films are filled with real Christian values: fidelity in families, sincere love and moral deeds. But it so happened that in our time it is not profitable to show it and talk about it. Therefore, one should not be surprised at the promiscuity of our society, and in particular, the younger generation. You should not be surprised at how in the recent "dashing 90s", after the show of the TV series "Brigada", most of the young men went with the nicknames "Cosmos", "Phil", "White" and threw various so-called "thieves" words. And what can we say about depraved films like “50 Shades of Grey”, which inflame passions and devastate a person from the inside, adversely affecting his actions and thoughts.

In this elementary example, one can clearly see to what extent it is really useful for us to spend so much time on products of the film industry that are unnecessary for us. We need to find out for ourselves how we spend our free time. On this occasion, the words of the holy Apostle Paul should be cited: “Everything is permissible for me, but not everything is useful; everything is permissible for me, but it does not edify everything” (1 Cor. 10:23), a person should act according to this principle, taking up his leisure.

When we have reason in everything, then whatever we do with our free time, everything will benefit us and enrich our souls. Then the interest in anything “bad”, including watching immoral and empty films, will disappear by itself.

Chebotarev Dmitry, 2nd year student of KDA

According to the materials of the journal "Academic Chronicle"

The living conditions of modern man are significantly different from those in which his formation as a biosocial being took place. In the early stages of the existence of Homo sapiens, he led a lifestyle close to natural. In particular, he was characterized by a high level physical activity, which in itself corresponded to the neuropsychic tension necessary in the struggle for existence. People lived in small communities, lived in an ecologically clean natural environment, which could be replaced (but not changed) by the whole community if it became unsuitable for life.

The development of civilization went in the direction of property stratification and professional specialization of people, necessary for mastering new tools of labor, increasing the duration of training and gradually lengthening the period of specialization of a part of the population. From the point of view of the life of one generation, all these changes occurred rather slowly, against the background of relatively slow changes in the habitat, low population density, and while maintaining high level motor activity. All this did not impose any special requirements on the human psyche that went beyond the limits of the evolutionary requirements.

The situation began to change with the beginning of the development of capitalism and progressive urbanization, and most radically in the second half of the 20th century, when the way of life of a person began to change rapidly. The scientific and technological revolution has led to a decrease in the share of physical labor, that is, to a decrease in the level of physical activity. This circumstance violated the natural biological mechanisms, in which the latter was the final link in life, therefore, the nature of the flow of life processes in the body has changed and, ultimately, the stock of human adaptive capabilities has decreased.

Another important consequence of the progressive development of civilization was the growth of the urban population, which sharply increased the density of human-to-human contacts. From the point of view of the psyche, these contacts are often unpleasant for a person. On the contrary, family relationships are beneficial, if, of course, relations between family members are good. However, unfortunately, favorable family relationships occupy only 20–30 minutes a day in the family, according to statistics.

The undoubted influence on the psyche of modern man is exerted by some factors of a markedly changed external environment. Thus, the noise level has increased significantly, especially in the city, where it significantly exceeds allowable norms. If this is a busy highway, then the impact of noise on the human brain is comparable to the effect of the roar of an airport. Poor sound insulation, including sound-reproducing devices (TV, radio, etc.) in your own apartment or neighbors, make the influence of noise almost constant. Such noises, in contrast to natural ones, which in the process of evolution were an integral part of human environment nature (wind noise, the sound of a stream, birdsong, etc.), have a negative impact on the entire body and on the psyche in particular: breathing rate and blood pressure change, sleep and the nature of dreams are disturbed, insomnia and other adverse symptoms develop. Especially strong impact such unfavorable environmental factors affect the growing children's organism, and the level of fear increases more clearly in children.

Indirect influence on the state of the brain mental health and chemical pollution of the atmosphere. Yes, increasing content carbon monoxide in the inhaled air impairs gas exchange in the brain tissue and reduces its functional characteristics. A number of other gases (nitrogen and sulfur oxides) adversely affect the metabolism in the brain.

A special place in the violation of the mental state of a person plays Nuclear pollution. The nervous system is very sensitive to its effects, but at a low level of radioactivity, apparently, it is more important psychological action of this factor, as it generates fear, which seems especially real after the Chernobyl disaster.

A serious negative impact on the human brain, his psyche is exerted by electromagnetic "pollution" of the environment in the form of radiation from the plexus of wires. The emotional sphere of a person is also extremely adversely affected by some forms of rock music, which are characterized by a monotonous rhythm, emphatically emotionally intense coloring of the soloists' voices, increased volume above the norm and a special spectrum of sound.

One of the main factors negatively affecting the human body and especially his psyche should be considered his increasing isolation from the natural (natural) environment with all the ensuing consequences. In particular, this applies to urban residents who spend the vast majority of their lives in an artificially created world of stone and concrete, isolated spaces, etc. They are infrequently in nature, deprived of the pleasure of breathing. clean air, enjoy sunrises and sunsets, listen to birds and much more. The presence of summer cottages only partly alleviates this problem, since the modern summer cottage is more subordinated to practical, utilitarian purposes. The destruction of the natural environment of a person - particles of nature deforms his psyche, especially the emotional component, disrupts perception, reduces the potential for health. The urban environment of a person, depleted in a natural sense, represented mainly by monotonous, monochrome buildings, makes a person more aggressive - this is also the impact of various electrical appliances and other sources of radio and electromagnetic radiation, etc. All of them interact with electrical processes occurring in the brain, influencing their dynamics in a complex way. Amplification of the electromagnetic radiation of the Sun, very insignificant compared to the corresponding characteristics artificial sources, also increases the number of mental and some other diseases. It should be taken into account that the person himself is a source of weak electromagnetic and other physical fields. Maybe, large cluster people (and this is typical for the city, for the premises) generates electromagnetic waves various characteristics, which at an unconscious level can have a negative effect on the brain.

Although the human nervous system is quite plastic and able to adapt to different situations its possibilities are not endless.

Apparently, a person is now in a situation where the adaptive capabilities of his psyche lag behind ever-increasing requirements. modern life. At the same time, the brain tries to protect itself from excessive and unfavorable information, which makes a person emotionally less sensitive, emotionally "stupid". It is not surprising therefore that city ​​dwellers, especially large ones, are less responsive to various problems relatives experience these problems for a shorter time, are increasingly isolated from those factors that are not directly related to them. Other some people he sits for hours at the TV screens, empathizing with the lives of the heroes of various series, and by doing this he tries to get away from his own problems that cause emotional stress.

In some cases, already small children become insensitive to someone else's pain. "Emotional hearing", that is, the ability to recognize the mood or state of the speaker, is well developed in only 32% of children. school age, which is associated with the deformation of communication between people (even members of the same family) towards the predominance of restraint and severity, on the one hand, and irritation and anger, on the other. The leading tool also plays a significant role in this. mass media- television filled with scenes of violence and horror and forming an abnormal worldview of a child who gets used to strong sensations and begins to even enjoy scenes of violence and murder. Thus, psychological insensitivity to cruelty is gradually formed, and then to good, aggressiveness develops greater than in adults.

Especially importance existing conditions life have for the harmonious development of the most sensitive part human population- children. The schemes of education and training that dominate today are focused on the development of verbal mechanisms of brain activity that provide abstract-logical thinking. Emotionally sensitive mechanisms, which ensure direct contact with the outside world with the help of the sense organs and require close contact with nature, are not sufficiently stimulated. At the same time, practice shows that communication with nature is the simplest, most natural and effective method optimizing effect on the psyche.

All negative impacts on the psyche of a modern person are deployed in our country against the backdrop of complex economic, social and socio-psychological changes taking place in society and directly or indirectly affecting both the individual psyche and the entire community as a whole. The extent of this influence varies greatly, and different people they react to it differently. One of the ways that some people choose to get away from such negative impact, is drug addiction, drunkenness and alcoholism, the growth of which is especially noticeable among children, adolescents and women. In many cases, in this way, in a deformed form, the mechanisms of self-regulation of the brain are manifested, which is protected from deficiency positive emotions, a large flow of information, difficulties in adapting to the outside world and other factors that a person cannot cope with.

In the current conditions, it becomes more and more difficult for a person to protect himself from emotional and informational stresses. Therefore, he is often in a state of strong (or prolonged) mental stress, which gradually undermines his strength, reducing physical and mental performance, immunity and disrupting normal work brain. Fortunately, the brain has an enormous margin of redundancy, and hence functional strength.

Firmly entered the life of every Internet user. Even those who proudly declare that they do not have a page in any social network, from time to time they still go under other people's accounts to see what is being done there. A social network can be called a swamp, if you bypass it, then everything is in order, and if you get into it, then how lucky you might not be hooked, or it might drag you out.

The development of modern social networks began in 1995, when the first social network Classmates.com was created, which still remains one of the most popular in the world. The concept turned out to be very popular, and since then social networks have been growing like mushrooms after rain. More and more people different ages prefer to communicate in social networks, this is becoming the most popular activity on the Internet. Today, out of the 100 most visited sites, 20 are social networks in direct meaning, and another 60 are socialized to varying degrees (forums, clubs, etc.).

However, social networks not only have a positive effect on a person. The addiction of people to social networks brings great harm. Every person has needs that he seeks to satisfy. For example, the need for communication, increased self-esteem, etc. It's much easier to do this online. Virtual life seems to be something different from real life. Here you can call yourself a different name, create a different image, it is easy to make many interesting friends, say whatever you want, without thinking about the consequences. I want to sit and sit in a social network, climb into groups, communicate, watch something. A person already eats at the computer, and not at the table. Virtual life begins to replace the real. Why meet, go somewhere, if you can talk or see photos of all your friends without leaving your home. Many people, having once got into a social network, “get hooked on it”, automatically updating their page, reading news or playing applications. It becomes difficult for such people to live in real life. Some deliberately refuse to meet with friends, saying that they are busy, while they themselves collect cucumbers in applications. And some people pay money to get votes or ratings, or exchange real money for coins in applications. Of course, this will not cause irreparable damage to the family budget, but it can lighten the wallet. And not everyone can realize their addiction.

Social media can have a negative impact on children as well. It is proved that children who spend a lot of time there have problems with the development of speech. Many deliberately misspelled words, use profanity and believe that in real life it is also socially acceptable. In addition, by creating a page on any social network, children get unlimited access to a large number information, and no parental restrictions will help. Many children can be found in groups such as "Death, Murder, Massacre" or "Club of Maniacs". All this greatly affects the fragile children's psyche. Of course, children can find similar things outside the social network, but when joining such a group offers
