SYMBOLIC PATTERNS OF THE FUTURE SUBJECTIVE VALUE BY CUTTING-EDGE YOUTH GENERATION OF RUSSIA

The relevance of the study is determined by the need for cutting-edge young generation of Russia for self-expression of their perception of the future through social media, in addition, the lack of social and philosophical works devoted to analyzing the interactions between key-elements of the future and its represented symbols. The representative aspect of reflecting the symbolic realities of young people now is the youth generation media, which should be analyzed within the both quantitative and qualitative content analysis in order to determine the symbolic realities of modern Russian youth. The main aim of the research is to determine the symbolic realities of modern Russian youth. A representative feature of the reflection of the symbolic realities of young people at the moment is the youth media, which should be subjected to both quantitative and qualitative content analysis. Methods: content analysis of youth media of an entertaining character along with the methodology of social constructivism to establish relative symbolic patterns of the images of the future in the view of the younger generation. Results. It was found that the process of constructing the «image of the future» concept occurs at a subjective level, and the symbol, as a fragment of thinking, is reflected in modern youth media, within which the processes of symbolic dynamics reflect and define the rules for constructing reality. The study allowed describing the trigger points (optimistic value of Russia's personal and common future) in subjective symbolism, where the main constructive force is the direct subject (interviewed the student) in the context of various components. It is argued that the marker «Career» is the main trigger point, which is a key indicator of its own future representation for the young generation.
