Social and humanitarian education in the age of globalization

Abstract

The article examines the prospects for the development of social and humanitarian education in the context of globalization. People’s lives are changing significantly for the better under the influence of globalization, ”says the American scientist J. Ritzer (2018). Today, the most advanced part of young people use the positive influences of globalization for their formation and personal growth, while the unsuccessful ones become outsiders and replenish the number of marginal layers of society, threatening the social security of the state. The increase in juvenile delinquency and cruelty is the result of social ill-being, a lack of funds for obtaining a quality education and a decent life.

The purpose of the study is to determine the worldview priorities of social and humanitarian edu- cation in the era of globalization. The significance of the study is directly related to the actualization    of the civilizational approach on a par with the modernist one. The results of theoretical and empirical analysis show the intensification of social crises in Kazakhstani society, the stratification of the country’s youth potential in terms of education and culture, worldview values, and the gap between generations is increasing.

Only a strong economy, raising the needs of the younger generation, is able to create conditions for combating social crises. A high level of education and culture, a rich intellectual and scientific potential of young people can be created only in conditions of economic growth and in an atmosphere of high moral state of society

Key words: youth, social and humanitarian education, globalization, worldview priorities, market society, rationalization.
