Modern youth problems and prospects presentation. Presentation on "youth problems" presentation for a lesson on the topic

Slide 2

The youth

  • Youth is a special socio-age group, distinguished by age limits and their status in society: the transition from childhood and adolescence to social responsibility. Some scientists understand youth as a set of young people to whom society provides the opportunity for social development, providing them with benefits, but limiting the possibility of active participation in certain spheres of social life.
  • The problems faced by young people are related to the position of young people in the social structure, characterized primarily by transition and instability. The social processes that are taking place in modern times only aggravate these problems.
  • Slide 3

    Factors influencing youth

    • Economic factors most influence the situation of young people. For the most part, young people are not sufficiently well-off financially, do not have their own housing, and are forced to rely on financial assistance from their parents. The desire to get an education delays the start of working life to a more mature age, and the lack of experience and knowledge prevents people from obtaining highly paid positions. The wages of young people are much lower than the average wage, and student scholarships are extremely small.
    • If during periods of social stability these problems can generally be solved or mitigated, then during a crisis they become significantly more complicated. In a situation of economic recession, the number of unemployed among young people sharply increases and it becomes increasingly difficult for young people to achieve a state of economic independence.
    • Spiritual factors are no less important. In modern times, the process of loss of moral guidelines and erosion of traditional norms and values ​​is intensifying. Young people, as a transitional and unstable social group, are most vulnerable to the negative trends of our time. Thus, the values ​​of labor, freedom, democracy, and interethnic tolerance are gradually leveled out, and these “outdated” values ​​are replaced by a consumerist attitude towards the world, intolerance towards others, and herdism. The protest charge characteristic of young people in times of crisis is distorted, acquiring cruel and aggressive forms. At the same time, an avalanche-like criminalization of youth is occurring, and the number of young people with social deviations, such as alcoholism, drug addiction, and prostitution, is growing.
  • Slide 4

    Current problems of modern society

  • Slide 5

    Information

    • Now, when a child is born, he is already surrounded by a massive information field, which one way or another becomes a kind of press that puts pressure on both the psychology and the social development of the baby.
    • We constantly hear about different products, services, facts, stories, and not always positive and pleasant ones. On each channel, various talk shows, soap operas, and meaningless series are now popular. And if you think about it, it will become scary that your child is surrounded by “dirt” and “muck” all day long. So do young people, by and large. Modern girls and boys are quite developed, smart and educated people. However, the majority have completely wrong views on history, economics, politics, and all because the information field dictates its own conditions and imposes its own rules.
  • Slide 6

    Internet

    Television, radio and the press, however, are gradually fading into the background, giving way to a more powerful opponent. The World Wide Web, the Web, the Internet, the trash heap - these are all names for the same “collection” of information. Moreover, in some senses, the latter name is completely justified. Just look at what is posted on the Internet. After all, the Internet is not limited to Wikipedia and social networks. By and large, you can find everything on the Internet, and not always useful. And no matter how much the government of any country fights with the same, say, pornography, it is full of it. It fills the lion's share of space and is accessible to everyone. And if you look at the younger generation, they are more likely to know what “sadism” is than the details of the Great Patriotic War. Of course, the Internet has its advantages, but there are many more disadvantages. Modern Russian youth are “Americanizing,” which means they are becoming stupid.

    Slide 7

    Policy

    • If parents can save the younger generation from information and technological dependence, then it is hardly possible to protect themselves from the government, and therefore the politics dominant in the country. Of course, in any country there are so-called “right” and “left”, the main government and the opposition. Along with them, the masses are divided into “two fronts” of those who are “for” the existing situation and those who are “against”. This is absolutely normal. But, nevertheless, the country has enough shortcomings that become a disaster for young promising people.
    • One of the main problems of almost all post-Soviet countries is the ability to listen to people exclusively in front of television cameras and cool audiences. On all other days, young families in need (and not always in money) disappear due to the fact that the government simply unsubscribes from them. Moreover, showing a clear reluctance to help understand the problem. And where do we end up in this case? Cruelty, outrage? This is just a tiny taste of what can happen when young people are “pushed to the extreme.” After all, it is known that many radical changes in history were provoked precisely by conscious youth.
    • The topic of politics is a painful and unpleasant one, but it must be covered, because it’s simply a sincere pity when you watch how the most magnificent “brains” go abroad or, worse, drink themselves to death from constant failures due to the selfishness of officials. You look at Western policies and compare them with ours. Only our politicians become generous during elections, and generous only with promises.
  • Slide 9

    Alcohol and drugs

    Drug addiction and alcoholism cannot be ignored. As cliché as it may sound, this is “the scourge of our time.” And, if the beginning of the 20th century became a rapid development, then its end turned into a total disaster.

    And what can we say about the attitude of adults towards the younger ones? If teenagers take drugs and die in droves, then the older ones sell them, cover up those who sell them and introduce them to the masses. Exactly like alcohol. But, it’s worth drawing a parallel again and noting that people who profit from someone else’s grief sometimes have worse grief themselves. And it is not realistic for young people to withstand such a circle of temptation without giving in. And such a situation can be cured exclusively by labor. Here, too, it’s worth turning to life, mostly drug addicts are the children of once wealthy parents who tried everything and switched to the “forbidden fruit”; moreover, they never had any hobbies.

    But the problem is common and children are not divided into “us” and “strangers”. Apparently, the older generation is so mired in their problems that they have stopped listening and hearing what the youth are saying. We can say that the problem of “fathers and sons” has always existed, but at the present time it has become especially acute, in some places even critical.

    Slide 10

    Money

    • Returning to young families, I would also like to add that even if two people are ready to start a family and have the desire to do so, it is worth talking about one more enemy of young families, which attacks almost everyone - lack of finances.
    • Someone will say that this is nonsense, because there is a mom and dad and they will always pay, give, do. But everyone forgets that creating and maintaining a family is a matter of purely two people. With this situation, another question arises: how to deal with this? The simple answer is – no way. If the older generation does not think about young families and does not begin to help them, then they will collapse like a house of cards a couple of years after their creation. And here everything is simple: there is no money, the husband is trying to earn money, but naturally has no time for his wife and child, hence the discord, scandals, divorce. Or the second option, the husband devotes enough time, has two days off and comes home from work at 19.00 and immediately takes care of the child. Bottom line: there is no normal income, there is no support, and there are two options: forget about the family while earning money, or get a divorce and become a “Sunday” dad.
    • What about living conditions? Whatever government programs there are, they are not perfect and not individual, and families cannot be the same. The buzzword right now is “mortgage.” How many young couples has she killed? Banks are happy to hang hopelessness on fragile shoulders, but young people do not understand what to do and, of course, do not argue with financial sharks. But he just quietly folds in the hope that the bank with hellish conditions will go bankrupt. Well, it’s also impossible, where is state protection, why does money play the main role, and not the prospects and future of the country.
  • Slide 11

    Assessing the various challenges faced by youth

  • Slide 12

    Respondents were presented with a list of ten different problems and asked to rate the severity of each on a 5-point scale. Both adolescents and adults were unable to sufficiently differentiate problems by severity and rated the severity of all the proposed problems very highly. The assessment of the proposed problems by adolescents ranged from 3.46 points to 4.76, with smoking in fourth place in terms of severity with an average score of 3.99 on a 5-point scale.

    Slide 13

    Youth status

    Young people, on the one hand, are an unprotected group, which is rather a destabilizing force in society, and on the other hand, they are the generation on which the future of the country depends. This special status of youth gives rise to the need for an adequate youth policy that can solve or mitigate existing problems, as well as channel the creative potential of youth into a creative direction.

    Slide 14

    Youth policy

    Youth policy is a system of state priorities and measures aimed at creating conditions and opportunities for the successful socialization and effective self-realization of youth.

    The youth policy system consists of 3 components:

    1. legal conditions for the implementation of youth policy (i.e. the corresponding legislative framework);
    2. forms of regulation of youth policy;
    3. information, material and financial support for youth policy.

    The main directions of youth policy are:

    • involving young people in public life, informing them about potential development opportunities;
    • development of creative activity of youth, support of talented youth;
    • integration of young people who find themselves in difficult life situations into a full life.

    CURRENT PROBLEMS OF MODERN YOUTH

     The purpose of the work is to study the current problems of modern youth.  Objectives of the study: 1. To study the causes of social problems. 2. Consider the factors that influence the problems of young people. 3. Conduct a sociological survey among young people. 4. Analyze survey responses.  Methods of obtaining information is a survey. A survey involves asking people specific questions, the answers to which allow the researcher to obtain the necessary information depending on the objectives of the study.

     Internet addiction. This problem is increasingly gaining momentum. Ten years ago, few people in the 1st grade had a telephone, but now this is considered the norm, but it is not used for emergency communication with family, but for such things as social networks on the Internet, various chats and games. The Internet has an even greater influence on a teenager than peers and parents.

     Unemployment. Problems of this nature arise from the economic instability of the state, which is unable to provide the required number of jobs, and the reluctance of employers to hire low-skilled and inexperienced employees. The problem of youth employment also lies in the financial aspirations of young professionals, which are not shared by employers. Thus, young people are looking for work, but cannot find a job, which is why they have no means of livelihood. This pushes people to seek illegal earnings, which often leads to crime, drug addiction, leads to poverty, and contributes to the development of housing problems for young people.

     Youth culture. The decline in the living standards of young people also affected their cultural life. Western ideas of a consumer attitude to life are popular, which is reflected in the cult of money and fashion, the desire for material well-being, and pleasure.

     Psychological problems. Psychological problems of youth are associated mainly with the lack of a clear direction in life. Boys and girls are introduced to the laws of life not only by their parents, school and books, but also by the street, products of mass culture, the media, and their own experience. Indifference of authorities and lack of rights, youthful maximalism provokes the development of indifference or aggression in young people, pushes them to join informal youth groups

     Alcoholism. Alcoholism can be called a social problem for young people, since no one is immune from it. Both hereditary predisposition and acquired one, through the method of retraction, influence here. A teenager who starts drinking alcohol early loses the meaning in life. Today, alcoholism is the most pressing problem for young people, regardless of gender.

     Psychological problems. Psychological problems of youth are associated mainly with the lack of a clear direction in life. Boys and girls are introduced to the laws of life not only by their parents, school and books, but also by the street, products of mass culture, the media, and their own experience. The indifference of authorities and lack of rights, youthful maximalism provokes the development of indifference or aggression in young people, pushing them to join informal youth groups. In addition, adolescence is a time when a person has to solve many important problems: choosing a profession, a significant other, friends, determining a life path, forming one’s own worldview.

    Novorossiysk branch of the State Budgetary Institution of Healthcare of the State Budgetary Institution of Public Health of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan Social and Psychological Assistance Room Program for the prevention of mental disorders in schoolchildren “Sex, dog buzz, Internet, drugs, suicide…. how to protect a teenager? Lecturer: Ph.D., psychiatrist, clinical psychologist Zolotova A.N. 2013-2014

    Dependent behavior symptoms are universal for all addictions (R. Brown, 1993; M. Griffiths, 1997) feature, “supervaluation” mood changes increased tolerance withdrawal symptoms conflict with others and oneself ADDICTIONS Chemical Non-chemical

    There are many forms of modern drugs and some (mixtures, spice) can be freely ordered on the Internet

    A more pressing problem is non-chemical addictions (Internet addiction (addiction to virtual communication, web surfing, cybersex addiction, obsessive financial need), addiction to mobile phones, television addiction, gambling addiction)

    If there are signs of Internet addiction... Do not criticize the child, but talk Find out what prompted the child to go “on the computer”, since the child’s withdrawal from the real world is a sign of dissatisfaction with the existing reality. If you see signs of computer addiction in a child, do not aggravate the situation, consult with a specialist.

    Internet Two big problems Internet addiction Information on the Internet They record every moment of their life This is the whole world They believe that the Internet is safer than real life They are looking for salvation from loneliness Sexual initiation through the Internet

    The number of Internet users of children is growing (from 78% to 95% of children 14-17 years old actively use the Internet) Most children receive information without adult supervision. Interregional study "My Safe Network: the Internet through the eyes of children and adolescents in Russia" (G.V. Soldatova, E.Yu. Kropaleva)

    INFORMATION ON THE NETWORK. DANGERS. SOCIAL NETWORKS must comply with the prohibitions provided by law on the dissemination of pornographic, extremist and nationalist information, but...... THE DANGER OF VIRTUAL CORRESPONDENCE OF CHILDREN. The anonymity of Internet communication gives sexual deviants the chance to exploit with impunity children’s curiosity about adult topics and draw them into virtual intimate relationships. FREE USE OF PROFEN VOCABULARY in articles, comments and advertisements can form in a child a subconscious belief that such a manner of communication is socially acceptable. Staying for a long time in an environment where actions do not entail consequences - THE HABIT IS NOT FORMED TO RESPONSE AND CONTROL YOUR ACTIONS

    The most important thing is to maintain a trusting relationship with your child and tell him in advance about what he might encounter on the World Wide Web. Virtual communication can only become unnecessary when real life becomes more interesting and full of good events.

    "DOGGY HIGH" Games with asphyxia (suffocation) - deliberately blocking the access of oxygen to the brain in order to cause short-term fainting and a state of euphoria Why is this done? Since the feelings of fear are reduced. -The teenager has little idea of ​​what death is; the instinct of self-preservation has not been formed. In the minds of a teenager, death is removed from them by a huge number of years; there is an interest in purposefully changing one’s mental state, and such behavior may be a risk factor for further addiction. Choking games, asphyxia games, “Space Monkey”, “Purple Dragon”, “ Tide" and "Cowardly Chicken"

    If the child is 12-15 years old No hobbies, nothing to do (“studies under pressure”, does not attend classes, spends most of the time at home on the computer Bruises on the neck Bruises under the eyes, unnaturally white skin color Slowed down Breathing heavily, cannot move quickly climb the stairs, faints Locks himself in the room, tries to avoid conversations, becomes withdrawn, does not share his life and exciting moments with his parents We must sound the alarm!

    CONSEQUENCES Death Development of a mental disorder (due to hypoxia of brain cells, loss of memory, cognitive impairment, understanding to dementia) Provokes the onset of severe mental disorders

    Suicides Suicide is a person’s conscious taking of his own life Suicidal behavior is all manifestations of suicidal activity (thoughts, intentions, plans) 45,000 people in Russia commit suicide every year

    Frequency of completed suicides in 2012 (per 100,000 adult population) (B.S. Polozhy, 2013)

    The frequency of suicides among adolescents in the Rasnodar region (B.S. Polozhiy, 2013)

    A child aged 12-16 years old has to face several serious tasks at once: Get used to his rapidly changing body, Realize and accept his own sexuality, Take his place among his peers, test his strengths and abilities, Choose his interest in life, decide on plans for the future. Any of these tasks can be psychologically traumatic and cause a severe emotional state, where the risk of suicide is high

    Signs of a severe emotional state: Several days, weeks of lethargy, a “dull” look, non-emotional speech, persistent depression of mood, loss of appetite, sleep disturbance, decreased desire to communicate with other people, up to complete isolation; loss of interest in any activities, past hobbies, loss of interest in one’s own appearance (untidiness, sloppiness) Talking about the meaninglessness of life Direct statements, as well as reservations or unfinished thoughts about suicide, death

    What should parents do? Talk honestly and sincerely, expressing your willingness and desire to understand. listen very carefully and carefully, the child needs understanding and participation and support, and not give advice and comfort. If your child does not want to discuss what is happening with you, encourage him to talk to someone else he trusts. And if the above symptoms are very pronounced and have been observed for a long time, consultation with a specialist is necessary. Spend more time with your teenager, communicate more, talk about your business, discuss something interesting for both of you, think about activities that the two of you could be passionate about. It is important that the child feels your participation, love and understanding, which do not require words and are more manifested in intonations, emotional mood, and simple everyday actions

    SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE ON A CHILD HAS: Relationships in the family Relationships at school Relationships in the company Media

    What to do if you understand that a problem exists in risk areas? The child doesn’t want to go to a specialist or you don’t know how to tell him…. You CAN COME YOURSELF, whoever is concerned about the situation, to a specialist: - the doctor will help you understand where the problem is, if there is a problem and how large it is - he will help you find ways to bring your child to a consultation - 50% of problems are solved simply by working with parents

    Law of the Russian Federation of July 2, 1992 N 3185-I “On psychiatric care and guarantees of the rights of citizens during its provision” Article 4. Voluntariness of seeking psychiatric help Psychiatric care is provided upon the voluntary application of a person and in the presence of his informed voluntary consent to medical intervention, except for cases provided for by this Law.

    Problems of modern
    youth

    Young people are at peace all over, their priorities are changing. Instead of being kind
    honest and obedient, think about family, our younger generation is increasingly
    wants to stand out through addictions, violence and superiority. That's why
    Adults are faced with the difficult task of cultivating goodness and goodness in teenagers.
    humanity in order to avoid subsequent problems of youth in modern
    society and society. Among the existing youth problems we can highlight
    some.
    Immorality in behavior;
    Alcoholism;
    Addiction;
    Tobacco smoking;
    Crime, suicide;
    Substitution of life values;
    Misunderstanding of generations.

    These days
    teenage alcoholism
    is more relevant than ever, because
    currently observed
    growth of adolescence
    alcoholism. Especially
    Beer alcoholism is popular.
    Teenage curve
    alcoholism in recent years
    crawled up. Some
    parents breathe a sigh of relief
    when they find out that their children are only
    they just drink. Other parents
    even encourage their children to
    drinking. Believing that
    the "forbidden" fruit will be
    less sweet. However, how
    usually everything happens just like that
    vice versa. Over the past 3 years
    incidence of alcoholism
    among teenagers increased by 5
    once.

    The worst thing is that drug use among modern youth has become
    a common thing, one might even say a tradition. It seems as if
    For today's teenagers, not using drugs is considered indecent
    and not modern. Teenage drug addiction, according to statistics,
    has become a real epidemic in the country.
    The number of drug addicts among Kazakhstani teenagers is growing. This is despite the fact that
    the number of drug addicts in general compared to last year
    decreased. The largest number of young drug addicts are registered in Almaty - more
    600 teenagers. But official statistics, as experts suggest,
    five times smaller than the real picture. Meanwhile, every drug addict in a year
    involves 13-15 people in this vicious circle.

    Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Medical and Social Problems
    drug addiction recently conducted an anonymous survey of schoolchildren
    secondary schools. More than
    one and a half thousand students from major cities of the country. The overall picture is
    very depressing. So, among Kazakh schoolchildren:
    every fourth person has tried tobacco at least once;
    every sixteenth smokes regularly;
    every third person has tried alcoholic drinks;
    every eighth regularly consumes alcohol;
    every twentieth person has already tried a drug or psychotropic substance;
    3.3 percent of schoolchildren regularly consume psychotropic substances and
    drugs.

    Now is the 21st century - the time of computer and advanced
    information technologies. And a lot is overwhelming
    a number of young people are even afraid to imagine their lives
    without your computer, tablet, phone or any
    another device that allows you to be online.
    Therefore, the Internet today is becoming
    one of the daily human needs. His
    used constantly and everywhere, wherever we are
    were, whether it was meeting friends for coffee or,
    for example, studying. Almost impossible to meet
    someone, especially among young people, for whom the Internet is not
    needed. Every person logs in at least once a day
    Internet and spends a considerable amount of time on it
    time, starting from some work related matters and
    ending with rest, which for many is now
    turned, unfortunately, into get-togethers with friends at
    in social networks.
    For modern society, the concept of Internet addiction is relatively new, but it has already gained
    large-scale nature, since every day in
    Millions of people are disappearing on the Internet. The youth
    constantly on social networks, in online games
    without noticing how much time they spend
    this.

    Blue whale - Russian urban
    a legend that began at the end of 2016 -
    early 2017. Supposedly existing
    a game whose final goal is
    is committing suicide.
    Of course, lately
    the majority of our citizens are already
    heard about death groups in
    Contact. The game Blue Whale has quite
    clear suicidal motives and is also called Quiet House.
    What makes this matter serious is not
    only massive, but also amazing
    subtlety of the working circuit.
    Some citizens believe that speech
    It's about mass hysteria. However,
    according to statistics, in 2016 about
    720 children became fatal victims
    suicidal ideas. Statistics
    is inexorable, and this fact forces
    pay utmost attention to
    this monstrous phenomenon
    called a game.

    Young people are attracted to AUE
    romanticized spirit of criminal
    peace, almost musketeer "one for
    everyone and all for one,” and also a riot
    against law enforcement agencies,
    which allows teenagers
    feel modern
    Robin Hoodami. If earlier
    schoolchildren are fans of the subculture
    emo and ready are now their idols
    became prison characters.
    Every year a dangerous subculture
    draws more and more into its networks
    adepts. They are passionate about learning
    habits and norms of behavior
    prisoners are beaten and raped
    peers and even enter into
    clashes with law enforcement officers.
    Identify AUE representatives and somehow
    trying to influence them is difficult:
    children consider their participation in this
    movement secret and tough
    punish those who went against
    him.

    Spring time is a difficult period for schoolchildren, because it is at this time
    graduates will have to say goodbye to adolescence and move into adulthood.
    Last call, graduation, and, of course, Unified National Testing.
    Uniform national testing
    Kaz. UBT) is a system for assessing the knowledge of graduates used in the Republic
    Kazakhstan. UNT results are recognized by colleges and universities as
    results of admission exams.
    It would seem that the UNT is just an exam, the results of which are not necessary
    may affect the future fate of the child, but some
    take the insufficient score so seriously that they are ready
    lay hands on oneself.

    SPIRITUAL CRISIS OF HUMANITY

    I ask you to leave your antagonism and antipathy, hatred and racial contradictions and try to think in terms of one family, one Life and one humanity. Djwhal Khuul

    World Crisis Humanity is experiencing an acute crisis, and its karma weighs heavily on it. Being in close proximity to events, it is not easy for humanity to see their true perspective, and I am writing to you specifically to facilitate your vision. A broader vision and a broader horizon can make understanding easier, and it would be helpful to you if I could help you see events as we, the Masters on the inside, see them in relation to their background.

    The Hierarchy notes two circumstances of extreme importance as it observes how humanity is living through the current extraordinary struggle. The first of these is that today humanity as a whole is aware that what is happening is a consequence of its own behavior and its own mistakes. People either feel responsible for what is happening, or openly and consciously place responsibility on the shoulders of others. The Treaty of Versailles is merely a symbol and a practical focal point for these endless centuries-old errors. The second fact is that, despite the war and division, despite the rampant cruelty, passions and selfishness, there is more true understanding, good will and loving helpfulness today than at any other time in human history. I say this consciously, since I have the corresponding hierarchical knowledge. Therefore, do not let the external obsession of war deceive you.

    PROMISES AND DANGERS OF SPIRITUAL CRISIS The Chinese pictogram symbolizing crisis perfectly reflects the idea of ​​​​spiritual crisis. It consists of two main signs, or radicals, one of which means “danger” and the other “opportunity”. So, although going through this type of condition is often difficult and frightening, it has enormous evolutionary and healing potential. Properly understood and viewed as a difficult stage of natural development, a spiritual crisis can lead to spontaneous healing of various emotional and psychosomatic disorders, beneficial personality changes, resolution of important life problems and evolution towards what is sometimes called "higher consciousness."

    Because of the dangers involved, as well as the positive potential of these states, people experiencing a spiritual crisis need qualified guidance from those who have personal and professional experience of non-ordinary states of consciousness and know how to work with them and how to support the person in these states. situations. Diagnosing such people with a pathology and irresponsibly applying various suppressive measures to them, including drug control of symptoms, can significantly interfere with the realization of the positive potential of the process occurring in them. The long-term dependence on tranquilizers with their well-known side effects, the loss of vitality and compromised lifestyle that result from traditional treatment are a sad contrast to those rare cases when a person's transformational crisis is supported and understood and can reach its conclusion without hindrance. Therefore, the importance of properly understanding a spiritual crisis and developing comprehensive and effective treatment approaches and adequate support systems cannot be overemphasized.

    INTERNAL MAPS OF SPIRITUAL CRISIS The range of experiences in a state of spiritual crisis is extremely wide: it includes intense emotions, visions and other changes in perception and unusual thought processes, as well as various physical symptoms - from trembling to a feeling of suffocation. However, we have found that the content of these experiences appears to fall into three main categories. The first group includes experiences that are closely related to the individual's life history - this is the biographical category. Experiences in the second category focus on issues of death and rebirth; Due to the close relationship with the trauma of biological birth, this category is called perinatal. The experiences of the third category go far beyond ordinary human experience and are closely related to Jung's collective unconscious; we call these experiences "transpersonal" because they involve motives and images that have their source outside the individual's life history.

    Biographical aspects of spiritual crisis include reliving and healing from traumatic life history events. Childhood crises, such as physical or sexual abuse, loss of a parent or loved one, near death, illness or surgery, and other dramatic events can sometimes play an important role in a crisis of transformation. This area has been studied and described in detail by "biographically" oriented psychotherapists and will therefore not be discussed further.

    Modern man is strongly influenced by the scientific paradigm, which is embodied in the form of the analytical and rational mind. We perceive this world, other people, things and nature from the point of view of ideas, concepts, or some mixture of concepts, or from the point of view of images formed in the mind based on significant events of our past experience. Therefore, any change that occurs in us mainly manifests itself at the level of our concepts, ideas, beliefs and mental attitudes.
