A survey was carried out of different layers of young people. Most of the city's youth noted that the city authorities pay little attention to youth problems. Financial assistance for the development of cultural and sports life is not sufficient.

In the article the results of sociological research Participation of the youth in the social life of the town are exposed. The theme of social activity of the youth is sharp in our town. The main part of the youth marked that the authorities pay little attention to the problems of the youth. The financial help to the development of cultural and sports life is not enough.

Key words: sociological, research, participation, activity, authorities.

The peculiarity of sociology is that it considers society as a single integral system, and its constituent parts precisely as parts of a single whole. The main goal of studying society in sociology, in contrast to other sciences, is to increase the level and improve the living conditions of a person, study the social life of a person, social groups, study the phenomena and factors of the development of society, as well as the social conditioning of human health. Sociology performs a variety of functions in which its purpose and role are manifested. Among the most significant functions are theoretical and cognitive, ideological - ideological, critical, practical, etc. Its main function is the study of reality, the accumulation of knowledge about social reality, their generalization and compilation of the most complete characteristics of modern social processes. This function applies to all levels of sociological knowledge and serves as the basis for the implementation of other functions. The practical function of sociology is associated with the improvement of socio-managerial and socio-political relations. The applied function is associated with the fact that sociology is not limited to the knowledge of social reality. It develops proposals and recommendations for policy and practice aimed at improving social life, at increasing the efficiency of managing social processes. Sociology serves as one of the theoretical foundations of politics and practice. Particularly important are social foresight, planning and forecasting as specific forms of implementing the applied function of sociology.

The actual use of the results of sociological research in the development of the fundamental foundations of social policy and in the practice of management

social processes - one of the urgent tasks of the development of our society.

Applied sociological research, which is usually understood as the application of general provisions of sociological theory and the study of specific sociological phenomena and processes, is an essential part of the process of sociological research. Specific sociological research is a system of logically consistent methodological, methodological and organizational-technical procedures that contribute to the acquisition of new knowledge about the object under study for solving specific theoretical and practical social problems.

A case study consists of four sequential, interrelated stages:

preparation of research; collection of primary information; preparation of the collected information for processing and its processing; analysis of processed information, preparation of a report on the results of the study, formulation of conclusions and proposals.

In accordance with the nature of the goal and the tasks put forward, there are three main types of sociological research: intelligence, descriptive and analytical.

Questionnaire survey

The most common type of survey in the practice of applied sociology

Questioning. The collection of information is carried out using a questionnaire (questionnaire), developed specifically in accordance with the research program.

The questionnaire is a system of questions, united by a single research concept, aimed at identifying the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the object and the subject of analysis. The respondent receives the questionnaire in his hands and fills it out, answering the questions posed in writing. There is no personal contact with the interviewer. An interviewer is the person conducting the survey. In applied sociology, survey participants are usually called respondents.

According to the form of the survey, it can be individual or group.

Group questionnaires are used at the place of work or study. The questionnaires are handed out for filling in the audience, where the respondents included in the sample are invited for the survey. In case of individual questionnaires, questionnaires are distributed at workplaces or at the place of residence of the respondents, and the time for returning the questionnaires is discussed in advance.

In the mass survey, the respondents are various social, professional and demographic groups of the population. In specialized surveys, the main source of information is competent persons whose professional activities are closely related to the subject of study. Participants of such op-

dews are experts. The questionnaire must have a clear composition. It consists of three semantic blocks: the introductory part, the main part and the "passport". The introductory part is an appeal to the respondent, which sets out the topic, goals, objectives of the survey, explains the technique of filling out the questionnaire. The main block contains questions that reveal the content of the topic under study. Questions are placed in the "passport", with the help of which they obtain data about the personality of the respondent. The questions of the questionnaire are distinguished on three grounds: in content, in form and in function.

After the completion of the layout of the questionnaire, it must be subjected to logical control and tested by conducting a pilot study.

Justification of the choice of the topic "Youth participation in the social life of the city of Kirov"

Numerous sociological surveys in recent years reveal a general value and normative crisis among young people. The analysis of the results convinces that over the past decade, complex processes have taken place in the youth environment, indicating a reassessment of the cultural values of previous generations, a violation of continuity in the transfer of socio-cultural experience. The reform processes taking place in Russia highlight the problem of social participation of young people in a new way. First, young people are one of the largest socio-demographic groups in Russian society. Secondly, yesterday's graduates of educational institutions replenish the socially active population of the country every year. Finally, the relevance of the socialization of youth is determined by the complexity of the time in which the youth found themselves. The previously created youth associations and organizations collapsed, young people were left to their own devices, the process of desocialization began, which led to a significant increase in the number of young people with deviant behavior. Today the situation of youth self-determination in life is ambiguous. On the one hand, representatives of the younger generation make up a significant share in the composition of new social strata, and the number of young people who lead social movements and political parties has increased. On the other hand, youth turned out to be one of the most unprotected social groups, its contradiction has worsened significantly, caused by the discrepancy between the new socio-economic requirements and personality traits of a young person, traditionally formed by the social institutions of Russian society. The object of the research is the youth of the city of Kirov. The subject of the research is the social activity of young people. Purpose of the study: to reveal the level of active participation of the youth of the city of Kirov in the social life of the city. Research hypotheses:

Rationale for the choice of methods for collecting social information

c) rather negatively than positively;

d) negatively;

e) does not affect in any way.

After analyzing the answers to the questionnaire: "In your opinion, how does visiting cultural institutions affect young people?" and the sports life of the city allocates "insufficient" material resources, and therefore part of the city's youth does not accept and is not going to take part in cultural and social political events of the city. At the same time, most of the respondents are taking and will continue to take part in sports events in the city. This means that modern youth are more interested in sports than in the cultural and socio-political life of the city.

Do you think the city administration allocates enough material resources for the development of the cultural and sports life of the city?

Research report.

The position of young people in society, trends and prospects of its development are of great interest and practical importance for society, primarily because they determine its future. An essential place in this is occupied by the attitude of young people to marriage and the values of family life.

The family has always occupied one of the most important places among the values of human life. At the same time, the development of the family and changes in its functions are gradually changing the value attitude of people towards it. According to the data obtained, the family remains one of the more significant values for today's youth.

marriage divorce youth

I. Research program

1.1 Statement and justification of the problem

Now is the time when most young people get married without thinking about their decision as seriously as this issue requires. Many believe that having received a passport, they can consider themselves adults and live by their own rules and principles, regardless of their parents. Some young people get married before reaching the age of majority, having lived for some time, for many of them this leads to divorce.

Therefore, it is necessary to search for other approaches to the disclosure of family problems. One of these is value-based. Its essence is to consider the family as a value chosen by humanity, to realize the real attainability of this value today and to foresee its further spread as a component of progress.

The value-based approach to the family as a socio-cultural phenomenon is feasible within the framework of sociology. It is known that the family is aspect-wise included in the consideration of many sciences - philosophy, psychology, ethics, demography. Sociology sees the family as a special value, and this interest in the study of the family as a whole, as a system, puts sociology in a special relation to it, since systematic, holistic consideration involves the integration of all knowledge about the family, and not the isolation of its aspect.

Family life is characterized by material and spiritual processes. Through the family, generations of people are replaced, a person is born in it, through it the race continues. The family, its forms and functions directly depend on social relations as a whole, as well as on the level of cultural development of society. Naturally, the higher the culture of the society, therefore, the higher the culture of the family.

The concept of a family should not be confused with the concept of marriage, since it unites not only spouses, but also their children and other relatives.

Currently, there are about 40 million families in Russia. Approximately 69% of families consist of spouses with children, 2.7 million marriages are concluded annually and at the same time 900 thousand marriages are dissolved. About 300 thousand children are left without a father every year.

Intrafamily relationships can be both personal (the relationship between mother and son) and group (between parents and children or between married couples in large families).

The essence of the family is reflected in its functions, in the structure and in the role behavior of its members. The most important functions of the family are: reproductive, economic and consumer, educational and reproduction.

Now the average family in Russia consists of 3.2 people. This figure varies significantly depending on the region. The presence of an only child is typical for most urban families. Thus, even simple reproduction is under threat. Until this process is stopped, there remains a very real possibility of depopulation of the population in a number of regions of the country.

What is most important for a marriage to become stronger and more romantic? According to the latest data, couples whose marriage is successful and the spouses have become really close to each other do not at all seek to spend all evenings and weekends together. They just happen to be together at different times, meeting sometimes for only five minutes, but these meetings bring joy.

There are well-known facts indicating an increase in the number of divorces, a deep crisis in the institution of the family and a decrease in the birth rate. What's more, family problems increase the risk of mental and physical illness in both adults and children. Family problems and tensions affect all of us. It is difficult to argue that many of the ills of society are rooted in the negative factors generated by marital conflicts and the breakdown of families.

So what is the reason for early marriages, how do young people today feel about marriage, are they ready to start a family and what do they consider to be the main thing in its existence - we tried to find answers to many of these questions in our research.

1.2 Definition of the object and subject of research

Object: the object of my research is student youth. There is an opinion that the majority of young people do not take marriage seriously, as a result of which this leads to frequent divorces.

Subject: Students' attitudes towards marriage.

1.3 Goals and objectives of the study

The purpose of this sociological study is to find out the reasons leading to frequent divorces and short marriages.

Research objectives:

· Find out the reasons for marriage;

· Explore the specifics of attitudes towards marriage on the part of girls and boys;

· Find out the alleged reasons for the dissolution of marriages.

1.4 Preliminary analysis of the research object

1.4.1 Analysis of basic concepts

Studying the contradiction between fundamental social interests includes clarifying the content of the following concepts:

Marriage is a family union of a man and a woman, giving rise to their rights and obligations in relation to each other and to children.

In most modern states, the law requires the appropriate registration of marriage, in special state bodies; along with this, in some states, legal significance is also attached to marriage contracted in accordance with religious rites. In many countries, it is not uncommon for a marriage contract to be entered into during marriage.

A marriage contract is a written agreement between the spouses on the treatment of their property after marriage.

The age of marriage is the statutory minimum age for marriage (18 in Russia). In some cases, it is allowed to reduce the marriageable age by 1-2 years. However, in any case, the age of marriage cannot be lower than 16 years.

A family is a small group based on marriage or consanguinity, whose members are linked by a common life, mutual help and moral responsibility.

Dissolution of marriage (divorce) - the termination of a marriage during the life of the spouses. In Russia, it is carried out at the request of one or both spouses in court, and with the mutual consent of the spouses who do not have minor children, in the registry office.

1.4.2 Main hypothesis

Students take marriage lightly

1.4.3 Auxiliary hypotheses

1.Most students have a positive view of marriage.

2. Many students find marriage and study incompatible.

3. Almost everyone considers 20-30 years old to be a suitable age for marriage.

4. According to the majority, a man should be the head of the family.

5.marriage in early age almost all deny.

6. The main reason for divorce is treason.

1.5 Definition of the sample

Students of the Komsomolsk - on - Amur Metallurgical College, representatives from I to IV courses, technical and humanitarian specialties, full-time department were randomly selected. Thus, the total number of respondents is 259 people.

1.6 Research work plan

The research includes the following stages:

1) determination of the field and object of research;

2) development of a research program for the subject of analysis, hypotheses;

3) drawing up a questionnaire;

4) replication of questionnaires for respondents;

5) collection of primary information and its processing without the help of a PC;

6) analysis of the results;

The timing of the study is to be determined in October-November 2011.

II. Results of the research

According to the results of the survey, those who have a positive attitude towards marriage, in percentage terms, is 52% of all respondents. It is worth considering that the percentage of those who have a negative attitude towards marriage is 11% among all respondents.

80% of respondents believe that the most acceptable age for marriage is 20 = 30 years, and an insignificant part of 9% - from 30 years and older. It is also positive that only 2% of respondents answered positively - from 16-18 years old. This means that most students consider marriage at an early age unacceptable.

We got an interesting answer to the 5th question: "When did you meet your first love?" 43% answered that they were at school, but the answer is saddening 30% of the respondents - they haven’t met it yet. An insignificant part, the first love met in a technical school - 14%. This suggests that the process of socialization of adolescents does not go beyond the permissible norms.

Thus, this sociological study shows that the main hypothesis was not confirmed, this is indicated by questions 2, 3 of the Questionnaire. All auxiliary hypotheses were confirmed within 80-90%.

Hello!

I am presenting a case study on the topic "Students' attitudes towards marriage". In the course of studying Sociology, students analyze in detail what a sociological research is, its goals and objectives. For several years they came out with the results of their research on the NSO. Today we again return to the institution of the family, because it is the most important social institution that forms many of the goals, principles and attitudes of a person. The Year of the Family has passed, and a lot of attention is paid to young families in the state policy of our country. We believe that the topic of our research is relevant at any time.

We presented the results of the study in the form of histograms, both one-dimensional, showing the picture as a whole, and two-dimensional, built by gender, since the vision of some issues is very different for girls and boys.

Key question: "How do you feel about marriage?" showed a positive overall rating. It is good news that students realize the need to get an education first. But if you look at it in context, girls are more willing to get married during their studies than boys.

The age limits for marriage are postponed for a period of 20-30 years, this is characteristic of the current generation and largely reflects the influence of Western trends.

It is gratifying that students understand the negative impact of such a step as early marriage, both on a physiological level and from a social point of view.

Answers to the question: "When did you meet your first love?" show that the socialization of modern youth fits into the age limits established by sociologists and psychologists.

Love, as the main reason for marriage, is a positive aspect of the overall picture. But if you look at the two-dimensional histogram, you can see that young people are more calculating, and this just reflects the change of roles in relation to genders, characteristic of modern Russia. So also a higher percentage of marriage "on the fly."

Let's dwell on the social status of the future partner. If you look at the one-dimensional histogram, the answer is "YES" - 89 and "Maybe" - 63, they say that the social position of a partner is important, especially for girls.

Question: "Who is in charge?", Which will be very relevant in the first year of marriage of a young family. And scientists say: the first crisis of the family is connected with this. In the context, we see that girls are more inclined towards democracy in relationships, while young people prefer house-building customs.

"Who Should Make Money?" - a very acute question today, and in this case the answer is obvious.

But the marriage must also be preserved. Let's see that, in general, the main reason for the breakup is cheating, in second place - they did not agree with the characters, and in third - other reasons. A reason such as lack of money is in last place. What is it: the lack of life experience or the belief that "With a sweetheart paradise and in a hut"?

What's on this moment, then out of 248 surveyed people studying at KMT, 11 are married and the reasons are obvious.

In general, the results of the study are interesting and informative, because specifically affect the students of our educational institution, and can be used as factual material in the study of social problems of society in the subjects of the humanitarian cycle.

I would like to express my gratitude to the students of gr. GM 9-08: Anna Saffron and Maria Dolzhenkova for their assistance in collecting primary data.

Introduction.

Study type: one-time, selective
General population: students of KGBOU SPO "Komsomolsk-on-Amur Metallurgical College"
Total sample size: 259 people
Sampling type: nested sampling
Methods of collecting sociological information: personalized individual questionnaire filled in by the respondent.
Methods for the analysis of sociological information: elementary statistical analysis.
Purpose of the study: to identify the attitude of young people to marriage and the values of family life.
Research objectives:
- to identify the main motives for marriage of today's youth;
- find out which marriages young people consider the most durable;
- to reveal the attitude of student youth to the values of family life;
-determine the attitude of young people to adultery, as well as to the problem of leadership in the family.
Research report.
The position of young people in society, trends and prospects of its development are of great interest and practical importance for society, primarily because they determine its future. An essential place in this is occupied by the attitude of young people to marriage and the values of family life.
The family has always occupied one of the most important places among the values of human life. At the same time, the development of the family and changes in its functions are gradually changing the value attitude of people towards it. According to the data obtained, the family remains one of the more significant values for today's youth.

I. RESEARCH PROGRAM.

1.1. Formulation and substantiation of the problem.

The concept of a family should not be confused with the concept of marriage, since it unites not only spouses, but also their children and other relatives.

Intrafamily relationships can be both personal (the relationship between mother and son) and group (between parents and children or between married couples in large families).

The essence of the family is reflected in its functions, in the structure and in the role behavior of its members. The most important functions of the family are:reproductive, economic and consumer, educational and reproducing.

Now the average family in Russia consists of 3.2 people. This figure varies significantly depending on the region. The presence of a single

child is typical for most urban families. Thus, even simple reproduction is under threat. Until this process is stopped, there remains a very real possibility of depopulation of the population in a number of regions of the country.

1.2. Determination of the object and subject of research.

Object: the object of my research is student youth. There is an opinion that the majority of young people do not take marriage seriously, as a result of which this leads to frequent divorces.

Subject: Students' attitudes towards marriage.

1.3. Goals and objectives of the study.

The purpose of this sociological study is to find out the reasons leading to frequent divorces and short marriages.

Research objectives:

find out the reasons for marriage;
explore the specifics of attitudes towards marriage on the part of girls and boys;
find out the alleged reasons for divorce.

1.4. Preliminary analysis of the research object.

A. analysis of basic concepts.

Studying the contradiction between fundamental social interests includes clarifying the content of the following concepts:

Marriage - family union of a man and a woman, giving rise to their rights and obligations in relation to each other and to children.

Marriage contract -it is a written agreement between the spouses on the treatment of their property after marriage.

Age of marriage -this is the legal minimum age for marriage (18 in Russia). In some cases, it is allowed to reduce the marriageable age by 1-2 years. However, in any case, the age of marriage cannot be lower than 16 years.

Family - a small group based on marriage or consanguinity, whose members are linked by a common life, mutual assistance and moral responsibility.

Divorce (divorce) -termination of marriage during the life of the spouses. In Russia, it is carried out at the request of one or both spouses in court, and with the mutual consent of the spouses who do not have minor children, in the registry office.

B. main hypothesis: students are frivolous about marriage.

B. auxiliary hypotheses:

most students view marriage positively.
many students find marriage and study incompatible.
almost everyone considers 20-30 years old to be a suitable age for marriage.
in the opinion of the majority, a man should be the head of the family.
marriage at an early age is denied by almost everyone.
the main reason for divorce is treason.

1.5. Determination of the sample.

1.6. Research work plan.

The research includes the following stages:

determination of the field and object of research;
development of a research program for the subject of analysis, hypotheses;
drawing up a questionnaire;
replication of questionnaires for respondents;
collection of primary information and its processing without the help of a PC;
analysis of the results;

The timing of the study is to be determined in October-November 2011.

RESULTS OF THE STUDY.

Thus, this sociological study shows that the main hypothesis was not confirmed, this is indicated by questions 2, 3 of the Questionnaire. All auxiliary hypotheses were confirmed within 80-90%.

REPORT

Hello!

The age limits for marriage are postponed for a period of 20-30 years, this is characteristic of the current generation and largely reflects the influence of Western trends.

It is gratifying that students understand the negative impact of such a step as early marriage, both on a physiological level and from a social point of view.

Answers to the question: "When did you meet your first love?" show that the socialization of modern youth fits into the age limits established by sociologists and psychologists.

"Who Should Make Money?" - a very acute question today, and in this case the answer is obvious.

At the moment, out of 248 people surveyed studying at KMT, 11 are married and the reasons are obvious.

I would like to express my gratitude to the students of gr. GM 9-08: Saffron Anna and Dolzhenkova Mariafor help in collecting primary data.

Multifunctional youth center "Chance" conducted a sociological survey "Attitude of young people to the institution of the family."

Date: April - May 2017.

Number of respondents: 500 people.

Age of respondents: from 14 to 30 years old.

The statistical error does not exceed 3.5%.

Family values of modern youth

To talk about the image of modern youth, first you need to study the family as the primary institution of socialization of the individual and understand the conditions for the upbringing of a new generation. We will talk about this in our study "The attitude of young people to the institution of the family, which MBU IMC" Chance "conducted in April-May this year. In general, we can say that there is a favorable climate in Togliatti families: most respondents noted that home is a good relationship.

Modern girls and boys in marriage prefer equality (59%), when a compromise can always be found. 19% voted for male leadership and 7% - for female leadership.

We decided to find out what traditions exist in Togliatti families. Most of the respondents noted that they are used to getting together at the festive table and celebrating various holidays. Also, during their life together, traditions are formed related to household issues, such as cooking, buying food, cleaning on weekends. An important part in the life of Togliatti residents is occupied by the recreational sphere of life (joint recreation, travel, going to the cinema), as well as maintaining warm relations.

Then we decided to ask young people about plans to create their own unit of society, as 63% said that they would like to create their own family. Moreover, 86% of respondents prefer an official marriage. Data was obtained on the ideal age for marriage, according to young Togliatti residents. For women, the average age was 23.5 years, and for men it is 25.3.

In modern Russia public policy directs Russians to increase the birth rate in the country, this is evidenced by various incentive programs. The survey data showed that the majority of young people (52%) consider two children in a family ideal, 23% - “Three children” and 12% answered that it is ideal now when there is one child in the family.

Interesting data was obtained when studying the opinions of Togliatti residents about how they see their family and how they can characterize it. We have proposed a number of adjectives that reflect different types families. The results show that friendly families live in Togliatti, as noted by 54% of respondents. 44% and 38% of young people, respectively, described their families as well-bred and calm. 30% of Togliatti families are intelligent and 28% are large. 27% of survey participants said that their family is small. The noise of their families was mentioned by 24%. The honorary title of the family of heroes was awarded to 6%. Also, in Togliatti there are explosive (12%), scandalous (7%) and dysfunctional (2%) families.

Diagram # 4 "How would you rate the relationship in your family?"

The family is one of the most ancient social institutions. The family arose much earlier than religion, state, army, education system, market. The institution of the family is considered basic, fundamental in the socialization of the individual. It is in the family that a person learns social roles, receives the basics of knowledge and behavioral skills. In connection with the enormous contribution to the development of mankind, many great Western and Russian sociologists were engaged in the study of the institution of the family. To talk about the image of today's youth, you need to study their families, understand the conditions for the upbringing of a new generation, determine the values that the primary institution lays in the minds of the younger generation. To begin with, we decided to ask the respondents a question: "How would you assess the relationship in your family?" In general, we can say that Togliatti families have a favorable climate and a high level of social well-being. Thus, the majority of respondents rated family relationships as “Good” and “Very good” (43% and 37%, respectively). Satisfactory relationships are among 12% of the families of the respondents.

The option "Yes, rarely" was chosen by 34% of young people. Frequent family disagreements occur in 11%. The fact that there are no conflicts in their family was stated by 5% of the surveyed sample. 2% found it difficult to answer.

Diagram # 7 "What type of interaction is most acceptable for you?"

To the question: "What type of family interaction is most acceptable for you?" 59% of respondents expressed sympathy for equal relations, where you can always find a compromise. There are no fundamental differences between the answers of men and women in this question.

For matriarchy - 7% of young people, they are sure that a woman is able to take responsibility. 14% of all respondents found it difficult to answer this question. Also, 1% of the respondents offered their options: “Equality, but let the man think that he is in charge”, “I think that it can be both, depending on the nature of the people,” There is no family yet, but I am for equality - every time should be led by the one who is more versed in a particular case. " There was also such a variant of the answer as: "In different life situations, each of the family members takes responsibility and solves the problem that has arisen: it depends on its direction."

Diagram # 8 "What traditions exist in your family?"

Another direction in the formation of intrafamily culture is the influence of globalization on ritual, household festivals and traditions, i.e. everyday culture.
