The Value Bases of Civic Activity: A Sociological Analysis

Abstract

The article analyzes the role of value attitudes in the implementation of civic engagement practices. It is noted that in modern sociological science, in the last decade, special attention has been paid to the study of the influence of socio-cultural factors (values, ideas, traditions, religion, etc.) on social processes and interactions. Within the framework of the study, civic engagement is understood as the activity of individuals, social groups, and civil society institutions to achieve common goals for most, based on the unity of value attitudes, mutual trust, solidarity and responsibility. As a result of the analysis, it is concluded that it is necessary to search for sources of solidarization and consolidation in order to overcome the deficit of solidaristic values in modern society.
