LECTURES ON THE TOPIC "MAN AND SOCIETY"

Materials for preparing for the Unified State Exam in social studies

Truth and its criteria. The relativity of truth.

1. In the history of philosophy, there have been different views on the possibilities of obtaining reliable knowledge:

    Empiricism - all knowledge about the world is justified only by experience (F. Bacon)

    Sensualism - only with the help of sensations can one understand the world (D. Hume)

    Rationalism - reliable knowledge can only be gleaned from reason itself (R. Descartes)

    Agnosticism – “the thing in itself” is unknowable (I. Kant)

    Skepticism - it is impossible to obtain reliable knowledge about the world (M. Montaigne)

True there is a process, and not some one-time act of comprehending an object in full at once.

Truth is one, but it has objective, absolute and relative aspects, which can also be considered as relatively independent truths.

Objective truth - this is the content of knowledge that does not depend on either man or humanity.

Absolute truth - this is comprehensive, reliable knowledge about nature, man and society; knowledge that can never be refuted.

Relative truth - this is incomplete, inaccurate knowledge corresponding to a certain level of development of society, which determines the ways of obtaining this knowledge; This is knowledge that depends on certain conditions, place and time of its receipt.

The difference between absolute and relative truths (or absolute and relative in objective truth) is the degree of accuracy and completeness of the reflection of reality. Truth is always specific, it is always associated with a specific place, time and circumstances.

Not everything in our lives can be assessed from the point of view of truth or error (lie). So, we can talk about different assessments historical events, alternative interpretations of works of art, etc.

2. Truth – this is knowledge that corresponds to its subject and coincides with it. Other definitions:

    correspondence of knowledge to reality;

    what is confirmed by experience;

    some kind of agreement, convention;

    property of self-consistency of knowledge;

    usefulness of the acquired knowledge for practice.

Aspects of truth:

Objective truth - the content of knowledge that does not depend either on man or on humanity

Absolute truth

Relative truth

    comprehensive reliable knowledge about nature, man and society;

    knowledge that can never be refuted.

    incomplete, inaccurate knowledge corresponding to a certain level of development of society, which determines the ways of obtaining knowledge;

    knowledge that depends on certain conditions, place and time of its acquisition.

Truth is concrete - associated with a specific place, time, circumstances

3. Criteria of truth - something that certifies the truth and allows us to distinguish it from error.

1. compliance with the laws of logic;

2. compliance with previously discovered laws of science;

3. compliance with fundamental laws;

4. simplicity, cost-effectiveness of the formula;

5. paradoxical idea;

6. practice.

4. Practice - a holistic organic system of active material activity of people, aimed at transforming reality, carried out in a certain socio-cultural context.

Forms practices:

    material production (labor, transformation of nature);

    social action (revolutions, reforms, wars, etc.);

    scientific experiment.

Functions practices:

    source of knowledge (practical needs brought the existing sciences into being);

    the basis of knowledge (a person does not just observe or contemplate the world around him, but in the process of his life transforms it);

    the purpose of cognition (a person for this purpose learns the world around him, reveals the laws of its development in order to use the results of cognition in his practical activities);

    criterion of truth (until some position expressed in the form of a theory, concept, simple conclusion is tested experimentally and put into practice, it will remain just a hypothesis (assumption)).

Meanwhile, practice is both definite and indefinite, absolute and relative. Absolute in the sense that only developing practice can finally prove any theoretical or other provisions. At the same time, this criterion is relative, since practice itself develops, improves and therefore cannot immediately and completely prove certain conclusions obtained in the process of cognition. Therefore, the idea of ​​complementarity is put forward in philosophy:the leading criterion of truth is practice , which includes material production, accumulated experience, experiment, is supplemented by the requirements of logical consistency and, in many cases, the practical usefulness of certain knowledge.

7 Thinking and activity.

1. Activity is a way of relating to to the outside world consisting of transformation and subordination to human goals (conscious, productive, transformative and social in nature)

2. Differences between human activity and animal activity

Human activity

Animal activity

Goal setting in activity

Expediency in behavior

Human activity

Animal activity

Adaptation to the natural environment through its large-scale transformation, leading to the creation of an artificial environment for human existence. A person maintains his natural organization unchanged, while at the same time changing his lifestyle.

Adaptation to environmental conditions primarily through the restructuring of one’s own body, the mechanism of which is mutational changes fixed by the environment

Goal setting in activity

Expediency in behavior

Conscious setting of goals related to the ability to analyze the situation (reveal cause-and-effect relationships, anticipate results, think through the most appropriate ways to achieve them)

Submission to instinct, actions are initially programmed

3. Subject and object of activity

4. Structure of activity: Motive (a set of external and internal conditions that cause the activity of the subject and determine the direction of activity. Motives can be: needs; social attitudes; beliefs; interests; drives and emotions; ideals) – Goal (this is a conscious image the result towards which a person’s action is aimed. Activity consists of a chain of actions) – Methods – Process (Actions) – Result

5. Types of motives: needs, social. attitudes, beliefs, interests, drives and emotions (unconscious), ideals

Types of actions according to M. Weber:

    goal-oriented (Characterized by a rationally set and thoughtful goal. The individual whose behavior is focused on the goal, means and by-products of his actions acts purposefully.);

    value-rational (Characterized by a conscious determination of one’s direction and a consistently planned orientation towards it. But its meaning is not in achieving any goal, but in the fact that the individual follows his beliefs about duty, dignity, beauty, piety, etc.);

    affective (Determined by the emotional state of the individual. He acts under the influence of affect if he seeks to immediately satisfy his need for revenge, pleasure, devotion, etc.);

    traditional (Based on a long-term habit. Often this is an automatic reaction to habitual irritation in the direction of a once learned attitude)

People's activities unfold in various spheres of social life; their direction, content, and means are infinitely diverse.


6. Types of activity:

6.1 work (aimed at achieving a goal, practical usefulness, mastery, personal development, transformation)

6.2 game (the process of the game is more important than its goal; the dual nature of the game: real and conditional)

6.3 learning (learning new things)

6.4 communication (exchange of ideas, emotions)

6.4.1 two-way and one-way (communication); concept of dialogue

6.4.2 structure: subject – goal – content – ​​means – recipient

6.4.3 classifications: direct - indirect, direct - indirect

6.4.4 types of subjects of communication: real, illusory, imaginary

6.4.5 functions: socialization (formation and development interpersonal relationships as a condition for the formation of a person as an individual); cognitive, psychological, identification (an expression of a person’s involvement in a group: “I am one of my own” or “I am a stranger”); organizational

7. Types of activities:

7.1 Material (material-production and social-transformative) and spiritual (cognitive, value-oriented, prognostic)

7.2 By subject: individual – collective

7.3 By nature: reproductive – creative

7.4 According to legal norms: legal - illegal

7.5 According to moral standards: moral – immoral

7.6 In relation to social progress: progressive - reactionary

7.7 Depending on the spheres public life: economic, social, political, spiritual

7.8 According to the characteristics of the manifestation of human activity: external - internal


8. Creation – a type of activity that generates something qualitatively new, never existing before (the nature of an independent activity or its component).


9. Mechanisms of creative activity:

    combination,

    imagination,

    fantasy,

    intuition

8 Needs and interests

In order to develop, a person is forced to satisfy various needs, which are called requirements.

Need - this is a person’s need for what constitutes a necessary condition for his existence. The motives (from the Latin movere - to set in motion, to push) of activity reveal human needs.

Types of human needs

    Biological (organic, material) - needs for food, clothing, housing, etc.

    Social - needs for communication with other people, for social activities, for public recognition, etc.

    Spiritual (ideal, cognitive) - needs for knowledge, creative activity, creation of beauty, etc.

Biological, social and spiritual needs are interconnected. In humans, biological needs in their essence, unlike animals, become social. For most people social needs dominate over the ideal: the need for knowledge often acts as a means to acquire a profession and take a worthy position in society.

There are other classifications of needs, for example, the classification developed by the American psychologist A. Maslow:

Basic needs

Primary (congenital)

Secondary (purchased)

Physiological: in reproduction, food, breathing, clothing, housing, rest, etc.

Social: in social connections, communication, affection, caring for another person and attention to oneself, participation in joint activities

Existential (Latin exsistentia - existence): in the security of one’s existence, comfort, job security, accident insurance, confidence in the future, etc.

Prestigious: in self-respect, respect from others, recognition, achieving success and high praise, career growth Spiritual: in self-actualization, self-expression, self-realization


The needs of each next level become urgent when the previous ones are satisfied.

One should remember about reasonable limitation of needs, since, firstly, not all human needs can be fully satisfied, and secondly, needs should not contradict the moral norms of society.

Reasonable needs
- these are the needs that help the development in a person of his truly human qualities: the desire for truth, beauty, knowledge, the desire to bring good to people, etc.

Needs underlie the emergence of interests and inclinations.


Interest
(lat. interest - to have meaning) - a person’s purposeful attitude towards any object of his need.

People's interests are directed not so much to the objects of need, but to those social conditions, which make these objects more or less accessible, primarily material and spiritual goods that ensure the satisfaction of needs.

Interests are determined by the position of various social groups and individuals in society. They are to a greater or lesser extent realized by people and are the most important incentives to various types activities.

There are several classifications of interests:

according to their carrier: individual; group; the whole society.

by focus: economics; social; political; spiritual.

Interest must be distinguished frominclination . The concept of “interest” expresses focus on a specific subject. The concept of “inclination” expresses a focus on a certain activity.

Interest is not always combined with inclination (much depends on the degree of accessibility of a particular activity).

A person’s interests express the direction of his personality, which largely determines him life path, nature of activity, etc.

9 Freedom and necessity in human activity

1. Liberty - a word with multiple meanings. Extremes in the understanding of freedom:

Freedom is a recognized necessity.

Freedom (will) is the ability to do as you want.

Is a person a robot acting according to a program?

Complete arbitrariness towards others?

Fatalism - all processes in the world are subject to the rule of necessity

Voluntarism is the recognition of will as the fundamental principle of all things.

The essence of freedom – a choice associated with intellectual and emotional-volitional tension (burden of choice).

Social conditions for the realization of freedom of choice of a free person:

    on the one hand – social norms, on the other hand – forms of social activity;

    on the one hand - the place of a person in society, on the other hand - the level of development of society;

    socialization.

    Freedom is a specific way of being for a person, associated with his ability to choose a decision and perform an action in accordance with his goals, interests, ideals and assessments, based on awareness of the objective properties and relationships of things, the laws of the surrounding world.

    Responsibility is an objective, historically specific type of relationship between an individual, a team, and society from the point of view of the conscious implementation of mutual requirements placed on them.

    Types of responsibility:

    Historical, political, moral, legal, etc.;

    Individual (personal), group, collective.

    Social responsibility is a person’s tendency to behave in accordance with the interests of other people.

    Legal liability – liability before the law (disciplinary, administrative, criminal; material)

Responsibility - a socio-philosophical and sociological concept that characterizes an objective, historically specific type of relationship between an individual, a team, and society from the point of view of the conscious implementation of mutual requirements placed on them.

Responsibility, accepted by a person as the basis of his personal moral position, acts as the foundation of the internal motivation of his behavior and actions. The regulator of such behavior is conscience.

Social responsibility is expressed in a person's tendency to behave in accordance with the interests of other people.

As human freedom develops, responsibility increases. But its focus is gradually shifting from the collective (collective responsibility) to the person himself (individual, personal responsibility).

Only a free and responsible person can fully realize himself in social behavior and thereby reveal his potential to the maximum extent.

10 System structure of society: elements and subsystems

1. The concept of society. Society is a complex and multi-valued concept

A. In the broad sense of the word

    This is a part isolated from nature, but closely connected with it. material world, which includes: ways, interactions of people; forms of unification of people

B. In the narrow sense of the word

    A circle of people united by a common goal, interests, origin (for example, a society of numismatists, a noble assembly)

    A separate specific society, country, state, region (for example, modern Russian society, French society)

    Historical stage in the development of mankind (eg feudal society, capitalist society)

    Humanity as a whole

2. Functions of society

    Production of material goods and services

    Distribution of labor products (activities)

    Regulation and management of activities and behavior

    Human reproduction and socialization

    Spiritual production and regulation of human activity

3. Public relations - diverse forms of human interaction, as well as connections that arise between different social groups (or within them)

Society is the totality of social relations. The essence of society is in the relationships between people.

    Material relations arise and develop directly in the course of a person’s practical activity outside of his consciousness and independently of him. This:

    • Relations of production

      Ecological relations

      Relationships related to childbearing

      Spiritual (ideal) relationships are formed by first “passing through the consciousness” of people and are determined by their spiritual values. This:

      • Moral relations

        Political relations

        Legal relations

        Artistic relations

        Philosophical relations

        Religious relations

4. Society as a dynamic self-developing system.

WITHsystem – a complex of elements and connections between them.

System components

System concept

Society as a system

Element

    Individuals

    Social communities

Elements can have a complex structure as subsystems (more complex than elements, but less complex than the system itself)

Main subsystems (spheres) of society:

    Economic

    Political

    Social

    Spiritual

Connections between the elements of its subsystems

Public relations (see previous paragraph)

Properties of the system

Integrity

A system is more than the sum of its elements and has properties that go beyond the individual elements

Society is more than a crowd.

Operation - development

The system can be functioning (fixed) or developing

Self-developing system:

    self-regulation,

    self-structuring

    self-reproduction

    self-development

Openness-closedness

A system can be closed (conservation of energy within the system) and open (exchange of energy with the environment)

Open system


Society as a complex, self-developing system is characterized by the followingspecific features :

1.It is distinguished by greata variety of different social structures and subsystems.

2. Society is not reducible to the people who make it up; it isa system of extra- and supra-individual forms, connections and relationships, which a person creates with his own active work together with other people.

3.It is inherent in societyself-sufficiency, i.e. the ability, through active joint activity, to create and reproduce the necessary conditions own existence.

4. The society is exceptionaldynamism, incompleteness and alternative development. The main character in choosing development options is a person.

5. Society highlightsspecial status of subjects, determining its development.

6. Society hasunpredictability, non-linear development.

11 Basic institutions of society

1. Social institution - this is a historically established, stable form of organizing the joint activities of people implementing certain functions in society, the main one of which is the satisfaction of social needs.

Public opinion, media, etc.

IN modern society There are dozens of social institutions, among which the key ones can be identified: inheritance, power, property, family.


Social institutions:

organize human activity into a certain system of roles and statuses, establishing patterns of human behavior in various spheres of public life. For example, a social institution such as a school includes the roles of teacher and student, and a family includes the roles of parents and children. Certain role relationships develop between them, which are regulated by specific norms and regulations. Some of the most important norms are enshrined in law, others are supported by traditions, customs, and public opinion;

include a system of sanctions - from legal to moral and ethical;

organize, coordinate many individual actions of people, give them an organized and predictable character;

provide standard behavior of people in socially typical situations.


3. Types of functions of social institutions:

    Explicit – officially declared, recognized and controlled by society

    Hidden – are carried out hidden or unintentionally (can develop into shadow institutions, for example, criminal ones).

When the discrepancy between these functions is large, a double standard of social relations arises, which threatens the stability of society. The situation is even more dangerous when, along with official institutions, so-called shadow institutions are formed, which take on the function of regulating the most important social relations (for example, criminal structures).


4. The importance of social institutions.
Social institutions determine society as a whole. Any social transformations are carried out through changes in social institutions.

12 The concept of culture. Forms and varieties of culture

1. Approaches to understanding culture as phenomena of social life:

    technological: culture as the totality of all achievements of the material and spiritual life of society;

    activity-based: culture as a creative activity in the spheres of material and spiritual life of society;

    value-based: culture as realization universal human values in the affairs and relationships of people.


2.
Concept of culture (from Latin cultivation, processing)

    in a broad sense: a historically conditioned dynamic complex of forms, principles, methods and results of active creative activity of people that are constantly updated in all spheres of social life;

    in the narrow sense: a process of active creative activity during which spiritual values ​​are created, distributed and consumed.


3. Material and spiritual culture
(division according to human needs satisfied by values):

    material – the result of the production and development of objects and phenomena of the material world

    spiritual – a set of spiritual values ​​and creative activities for their production, development and application.

This division is conditional.

4. Functions of culture : cognitive, evaluative, regulatory (normative), informative, communicative, socialization.

5. Spiritual world of the individual – the area of ​​existence in which objective reality is present in a person himself, is an integral part of his personality: knowledge, faith, feelings, experiences, needs, abilities, aspirations and goals.

6. Spiritual life of society
- an objective, supra-individual ideal reality, a set of meaningful life values ​​present in a person and determining the content, quality and direction of social and individual existence. This is philosophy, morality, science, education, art, religion, law.

7. Elements of spiritual life society is also considered to:

Spiritual needs;
- spiritual activity and production (science, art, religion - reproduction of social consciousness);
- spiritual values ​​(ideas, theories, images, values);
- spiritual consumption (the universal nature of consumption, since spiritual goods are a common property);
- spiritual relationships (spiritual social connections of individuals);
manifestations of interpersonal spiritual communication.

Values - socially approved and shared by most people ideas about what goodness, justice, patriotism, romantic love, friendship, etc. are. Values ​​are not questioned; they serve as a standard and ideal for all people.


8.
Forms and varieties of culture. Typology of cultures:

    national – global;

    secular - religious;

    eastern – western (Mediterranean, Latin American, etc.; Russian, French, etc.);

Components: knowledge, values, style and lifestyle, social institutions as a system of norms, skills, abilities, methods of implementation, methods; social roles and statuses; needs and inclinations.
3. youth subculture – a culture of conspicuous consumption, most often developing on the basis of styles in clothing and music. Causes:

  • rising living standards;

    the development of a consumer society, creating more and more new product markets, aimed primarily at young people;

    the increasing role and importance of free time and leisure.

Youth culture also focuses more on friendship in a peer group rather than on family, conducts large-scale experiments with lifestyle, and searches for cultural grounds for its existence that are different from the culture of adults.


14.
Counterculture – the direction of development of modern culture, opposing the spiritual atmosphere of modern society (or official culture; underground as counterculture).

13 Science. Main features of scientific thinking. Natural, social and human sciences

1. Science - a form of spiritual activity of people aimed at producing knowledge about nature, society and knowledge itself, with the immediate goal of comprehending the truth and discovering objective laws. Science is:

    social institution (research institutes, universities, academies of sciences, etc.)

    industry of spiritual production (R&D);

    a special system of knowledge (a holistic system of concepts, laws, theories).


2. Classifications of sciences:

    on the subject and method of cognition: natural, social and humanitarian, about cognition and thinking, technical and mathematical;

    by distance from practice: fundamental and applied.

3. Functions of science:

    cultural and ideological,

    cognitive-explanatory,

    prognostic,

    social (social forecasting, management and development).

4. General cultural characteristics of science: rationality, criticality, individuality, communication skills.


5. Development models scientific knowledge:

    gradual development of science;

    development through scientific revolutions and paradigm shifts (a set of explicit and implicit (and often unconscious) prerequisites that determine Scientific research and recognized at this stage of development of science; T. Kuhn “Structure of Scientific Revolutions”, 1962);

    development through approaching the cognitive standards of natural science;

    development through the integration of scientific knowledge.

6. Scientific knowledge – a special type of cognitive activity aimed at developing objective, systematically organized and substantiated knowledge about nature, man and society


7.Features:

    objectivity;

    development of the conceptual apparatus (categoricality);

    rationality (consistency, evidence, consistency);

    verifiability;

    high level generalizations;

    universality (examines any phenomenon from the perspective of patterns and causes);

    the use of special methods and methods of cognitive activity.


8. Levels, forms and methods scientific knowledge

14 Education and self-education

1. Education – one of the ways of personality development through people’s acquisition of knowledge, acquisition of skills and abilities, development of mental, cognitive and creativity through a system of social institutions such as family, school, and the media. The goal is to introduce the individual to the achievements of human civilization, relay and preserve its cultural heritage.

2. Self-education – knowledge, skills and abilities acquired by a person independently, without the help of other teaching persons.

3. Functions of education:

    economic (formation of the social and professional structure of society);

    social (implementation of socialization of the individual (social function);

    cultural (the use of previously accumulated culture for the purpose of educating an individual).

Unified State Exam in Social Studies: reviewing assignments with the teacher

My students, graduates of 2017, who successfully passed the Unified State Exam in social studies, claim that the recommendation to read the entire text of the work before starting assignments has a good effect when completing the work. When reading the work it is removed emotional stress, brain activity is directed to analyzing materials and the graduate is involved in productive cognitive activity, leading to high scores for completing the work.

We use as materials for work Unified State Exam option in social studies 2017 (early period), published by FIPI in the spring of 2017.

Part 1

Task No. 1

Write down the word missing in the table.

Factors of production and factor income

When completing task No. 1, you need to carefully look at the title of the table. In our case, the table is called “Factors of production and factor income.” One of the factors of production is indicated: entrepreneurship (entrepreneurial abilities) and its factor income is indicated: profit. Knowledge of the main factors of production: land, labor, capital (physical and monetary), entrepreneurial abilities of information is inextricably linked with knowledge of factor income as income that the owner receives from the use or application of factors of production. Labor - wages, land - rent, capital - interest, entrepreneurial abilities, information - profit. The table shows factor income - rent, which means that in the first column we can safely enter such a factor of production as Earth. The correct answer is earth. When preparing, it is important for the student to know the complete characteristics of all factors of production.

Task No. 2

In the row below, find a concept that is generalizing for all other concepts presented. Write it down word (phrase).

State form, form of government, unitary state, federation, republic.

Answer: ___________________________.

In task No. 2, it is always necessary to clearly define the generic concept (in the question it sounds like a generalizing concept). Our version presents: the form of the state, how device political organization of society (it is important to remember that this is also a certain set of characteristics by which we determine the method of organization and structure of the state); form of government, which is determined by the composition of the highest bodies of state power and the order of their formation, as well as by their interaction with the population of the state; a unitary state, which refers to one of the forms of state-territorial structure, like a federation; A republic is one of the forms of government. I always strongly recommend that my students, in a rough draft, immediately when they begin completing assignments related to the topic “Politics,” draw a diagram:

This is important because, typical mistake, which graduates admit when conducting trial Unified State Examinations, is associated with confusion of concepts. And when the diagram is before your eyes, it will be more difficult to make a mistake.

Accordingly, based on the diagram, it becomes clear that the generic (generalizing concept for all others here will be the form of the state, i.e. its versatile characteristics presented in the answer options. The remaining concepts reflect these or other elements. For example, the form of government is given as part forms of state and republic, as one of the types of government.

Correct answer: form of state.

Task No. 3

Below is a list of characteristics. All of them, with the exception of two, belong to the elite culture.

  1. complexity of the forms used;
  2. the desire of the authors to implement their own ideas;
  3. entertaining character;
  4. strongly commercial orientation;
  5. spiritual aristocracy;
  6. requirement special training for understanding.

Find two characteristics that “fall out” from the general series and write down the numbers under which they are indicated in the table.

When completing task No. 3, pay attention to the concept in question. IN in this case– this is an “elite culture” and we are asked about the characteristics of this concept. Elite culture is discussed in the topic “The spiritual sphere of social life.” The generic concept is “Culture”. In our case, the question is in the plane of varieties of culture (material, spiritual; folk, mass, elite). The task presents the features of elite culture: the complexity of the forms used, the authors’ desire to embody their own ideas, spiritual aristocracy, the requirement of special training for understanding. Well, really, are we all ready to perceive musical works Schnittke, analysis of highly intelligent literary works Kafka? What can you say about Rodin's sculptures? It is clear that this culture is designed for a narrow circle of consumers prepared to perceive complex works. Elite culture does not seek commercial gain; self-expression and the search for new forms in art are important for authors.

Two characteristics that remain outside our attention: entertaining nature and a pronounced commercial orientation are the most important characteristics of mass culture. Therefore, in this case we will mark them as correct. Because in the task we are asked to remove unnecessary characteristics.

Task No. 4

Choose the correct judgments about society and social institutions and write down numbers, under which they are indicated.

  1. Society is a constantly developing dynamic system.
  2. Social progress is characterized by degradation, a return to outdated structures and relationships.
  3. In a broad sense, society is understood as a part of the world separated from nature, but connected with it, including ways of interaction and forms of unification of people.
  4. Social institutions perform the function of human socialization.
  5. Society is a closed system that does not interact with the external environment.

Answer: ___________________________.

In task No. 4 we must discover judgments about society and public institutions. Here you cannot do without knowledge of the concepts: “society” in the broad and narrow senses; society as a system; “social institution”, as a historically established stable form of organizing joint activities of people, and knowledge of the types of social institutions in the main spheres of social life.

The first judgment characterizes society as a dynamic developing system - this judgment is correct, since it is an axiom in the course of social science.

The second judgment is incorrect, since progress, which is one of the directions of social development, is characterized by the development of society from lower to higher. And the judgment indicates: degradation, a return to already outdated structures and relationships, which are qualitative characteristics of another direction of social development - regression.

The third judgment almost completely reproduces the concept of “society” in a broad sense, and therefore is correct. What is missing there is “consisting of individuals with consciousness and will.”

The fourth proposition is correct. During socialization, a person learns the experience of previous generations. We know that social institutions establish certain patterns of behavior for people. This is best confirmed by such a social institution as the family, which belongs to the social subsystem of society.

The fifth proposition is incorrect. Society is a dynamic, open, self-developing system. It is almost impossible to apply the concept of a “closed system” that does not interact with the external environment to society. No special evidence is needed here. It is enough to recall the concept of society in the broad sense of “a part of the material world isolated from nature, but closely connected with it.”

Thus, the correct judgments will be: 1, 3, 4.

Thematic planning in social studies

Task No. 5

Establish a correspondence between the characteristics and types (forms) of activity: for each element given in the first column, select the corresponding element from the second column.

Task No. 5 relates to the topic “Activities”. Types (forms of activity) are considered: play, learning, work, communication. To complete this task, it is enough to know the characteristics of each type (form of activity). The imaginary setting is a characteristic of the game (A 4), focus on achieving a practically useful result - to work (a person creates certain objects that satisfy needs) (B 2). Focus on acquiring new knowledge and skills - to study (AT 3). And not a single type (form) of activity is complete without communication. Therefore, the remaining two characteristics: the process of establishing and developing contacts between people and the focus on information exchange reflect the essence of communication (G 1, D 1). You just need to remember that in the process of communication people exchange not only information, but also emotions, influencing each other.

Despite the apparent ease of tasks, it is important to take your time and conduct an internal dialogue with yourself. Answer the question: why the chosen answer is correct, based on knowledge of concepts.

Task No. 6

Students conducted a study of the motives for educational activities of primary schoolchildren. Find in the list below the methods they used that correspond to the empirical level of scientific knowledge. Write it down numbers, under which they are indicated.

  1. description of observed phenomena
  2. putting forward and justifying hypotheses
  3. explanation of existing relationships
  4. direct observation of individual facts and phenomena
  5. fixation of generalizations in the form of laws
  6. obtaining quantitative data about the object being studied

Answer: ___________________________.

In task No. 6 they ask about the empirical level of scientific knowledge and its methods. We immediately mentally turn to the generic concept - “science”, recall the structure of scientific knowledge, which includes levels: empirical and theoretical, and classify the methods related to each level. We remember that empirical methods include: observation, description, measurement, classification, systematization, i.e. with their help, it is possible to identify specific properties of the objects being studied, in contrast to the theoretical level, aimed at identifying general trends, laws, etc.

This is how we found the correct answers: 1, 4, 6

Task No. 7

Choose the correct judgments about economic systems and write down numbers, under which they are indicated.

  1. Private property is the basis of a command (planned) economy.
  2. In a traditional economy, the main economic issues are resolved by central government agencies.
  3. The main subjects of market relations are economically independent participants in economic life.
  4. The incentive for enterprises to operate in a market system is profit.
  5. Signs of a market economy include free pricing.

Answer: ___________________________.


Task No. 7 aims us at knowing the characteristics of economic systems as a way of organizing the economic life of society. Knowledge of the distinctive features of traditional, command (planned) or command-administrative, market and mixed economic systems is the basic knowledge of a graduate seeking to get a high score in the exam.

So, let's try. Private property is a prerequisite for the existence of a market model of an economic system. We are told in judgment that it is a command economy. This is not true, also because in a command economy state ownership dominates, and the main issues of the economy are decided by the central authorities. This means that the second judgment is also incorrect. The third judgment is correct, since in a market economy each owner has the right to freely and independently dispose of his factors of production.

The fourth and fifth judgments are also correct, since in a market economy the freedom of economic activity of individual entities is aimed at making a profit in a competitive environment and market mechanisms determine the price.

Right answers: 3, 4, 5.

Task No. 8

Establish a correspondence between the examples and types of taxes and fees in the Russian Federation (in accordance with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation): for each position given in the first column, select the corresponding position from the second column.

Write down the selected numbers in the table under the corresponding letters.

Task No. 8 is related to financial literacy graduate, namely knowledge of the types of taxes and fees in the Russian Federation. The assignment defines the levels of taxes collected: federal, regional and local. When performing this task, it is important to clearly distinguish between types of taxes by level:

Thus, in our task we again use the empirical ranking method: A 3, B 3, C 1, D 3, D 2.


Authors: Vorontsov A.V., Koroleva G.E., Naumov S.A.
The textbook covers the most important topics of the social science course: economics, politics and law. In accordance with modern scientific ideas, the authors reveal the features of the operation of the market mechanism and the role of the state in the economy, the fundamentals of political science, the functioning of the state and the development of democracy, the principles of law, the foundations of the constitutional system of the Russian Federation, the rights and freedoms of man and citizen.

Task No. 9

Company Y is a wedding dress sewing studio. Find in the list below examples of variable costs of firm Y in the short run and write down numbers, under which they are indicated.

  1. costs of repaying interest on a previously taken loan
  2. costs for the purchase of fabrics, threads, accessories
  3. costs of paying piecework wages to employees
  4. rent for studio premises
  5. payment for consumed electricity
  6. insurance premiums

Answer: ___________________________.

Completing task No. 9 requires knowledge of the topic “Company” and its key concepts: revenue, costs and profit. The assignment should clearly state the firm's variable costs in the short run, as opposed to fixed costs.

To complete a task without error, you also need to remember that variable costs change when production volume changes.

The company's credit histories will always relate to fixed costs, so the first option is not correct. But the purchase of fabrics, threads, and accessories refers to consumables, which means they are variable costs, as are the payment of piecework wages to workers, in contrast to salaries, which are the company’s fixed costs. Rent and insurance premiums are fixed costs for any company. Here's the payment consumed electricity (depending on the volume of work of the company) will be a variable cost.

Right answers: 2, 3, 5 .

Social science. Grade 11. A basic level of. Textbook.
Authors: Nikitin A.F., Gribanova G.I., Martyanov D.S.
Textbook included educational and methodological complex in social studies for 11th grade ( a basic level of). Corresponds to the Federal State Educational Standard for secondary (complete) general education, included in the Federal List. The textbook examines the most important issues of economics and law. The methodological apparatus of the textbook includes the headings “Thinking, comparing, drawing conclusions”, “Testing our knowledge”, “Researching, designing, discussing, arguing”.

The figure shows the change in the supply of chairs in the corresponding market: supply line S moved to a new position - S 1 . (P – price; Q – quantity.)


Which of the following factors could cause this change? Write it down numbers, under which they are indicated.

  1. increase in the cost of materials for upholstery of chairs
  2. increase in wages for workers at enterprises producing chairs
  3. reducing the cost of materials for chair frames
  4. reduction of taxes levied on furniture manufacturers
  5. increase in electricity tariffs for furniture manufacturers

Answer: ___________________________.

Task number 10 requires a very careful reading of the question. It is necessary to understand what is being asked about: a change in the quantity of demand or the quantity of supply? In this case, the supply of chairs in the relevant market has changed. By observing the change in the supply curve, we can say that supply has decreased. When completing the task, you need to remember that changes in supply are affected by the cost of factors of production, technology, state tax policy, government support, price expectations, competition, etc.

Therefore, the first answer - an increase in the cost of materials for upholstering chairs will precisely contribute to a decrease in the supply of this product on the market. The answer is correct. An increase in wages for workers increases the cost of such a factor of production as labor, but at the same time reduces the supply of this product on the market. The answer is correct. The third option should lead to an increase in supply, since a decrease in the cost of raw materials leads to an increase in the supply of goods on the market (in our case, a decrease in the cost of material for the frame). The answer is not correct. Tax cuts will also increase supply. The answer is not correct. But an increase in electricity tariffs for furniture manufacturers will increase variable costs and reduce supply. So, an increase in the price of consumables, electricity tariffs, and wages for workers will force the company to either reduce production volumes or increase the cost of goods, which will lead to a decrease in supply on the market.

Right answers: 1, 2, 5 .

Task No. 11

Choose the correct statements about social stratification and social mobility and write down numbers, under which they are indicated.

  1. Horizontal mobility involves moving to a social group located at a different level of the social hierarchy.
  2. One of the criteria for differentiating social groups is income.
  3. Personal qualities of a person act as a criterion for the social stratification of modern society.
  4. Sociologists distinguish between individual and collective mobility.
  5. One of the criteria for the social stratification of society is the amount of power.

Answer: ___________________________.

In completing task No. 11, we proceed from knowledge of the concepts of “social stratification” and “social mobility”, criteria for social stratification, types of social mobility.

Horizontal mobility involves moving from one social group to another, located at the same level of the social ladder. Therefore, the first judgment is not correct. Differentiation (separation) of social groups in society occurs according to many criteria, one of which is income. And also the amount of power, education, prestige of the profession. The second and fifth judgments are correct, unlike the third. A person's personal qualities are not a criterion for social stratification. The fourth proposition is correct, since sociologists do distinguish between individual and collective mobility. For example, under the influence of the events of the 1917 revolution, the position of social groups shifted.

Right answers: 2, 4, 5.

During sociological surveys of adult residents of countries Z and Y, they were asked the question: “Which direction of the state’s youth policy do you consider the most important?”

The survey results (as a percentage of the number of respondents) are shown in the diagram.


Find in the list below the conclusions that can be drawn from the diagram and write down numbers, under which they are indicated.

  1. The share of those who note the importance of ensuring access to decision-making in the economy, public life, and politics is smaller in country Z than in country Y.
  2. Equal shares of respondents in each country consider it necessary to conduct educational work.
  3. In country Z, the opinion about the importance of ensuring access to decision-making in the economy, public life, and politics is less popular than the opinion about the importance of conducting educational work.
  4. In country Y, equal shares of respondents note the creation of conditions for self-expression, self-realization of young people and carrying out educational work with them as the most important areas.
  5. The share of those who consider it most important to provide social support, in country Z more than in country Y.

Answer: ___________________________.

When completing task No. 12, you need to carefully read the terms of the sociological survey. In this case, the most important directions of the youth policy of the two countries were clarified. The chart shows data from these countries. Before reading the judgments presented, you should carefully study the diagram yourself. In each country, the leading position was taken by the answer “providing social support.” Further, in country Z, the position “conducting educational work” was in second place, and the minimum position was occupied by the judgment “ensuring access to decision-making...”. In country Y, equally minimal positions were occupied by the judgments “ensuring access to decision-making...” and “creating conditions for self-expression.” After we have independently tried to analyze statistical materials, we try to analyze judgments.

The first judgment is correct, since the chart data demonstrates this position. The second judgment is not correct, since in country Z there are more people who consider “carrying out educational work” important compared to country Y.

The third judgment is correct, and we saw this during our own analysis of the diagram.

The fourth judgment is also correct; we also determined this during the analysis of the diagram and marked these positions as minimally identical.

The fifth proposition is not correct, this is clearly visible in the diagram. The indicators indicate the opposite result.

Right answers: 1, 3, 4.

Task No. 13

Choose the correct judgments about the state and its functions and write down numbers, under which they are indicated.

  1. Environmental requirements established by the state form the basis of the country's environmental security.
  2. The fundamental feature of any type of state is the implementation in it of the principle of separation of powers.
  3. The state has a monopoly right to legally use coercion through law enforcement and security forces.
  4. The external functions of the state include determining the general direction economic policy states in accordance with the achieved level of economic development.
  5. The state creates a regulatory and organizational basis for the effective and high-quality activities of government bodies.

Answer: ___________________________.

When completing task No. 13, it is important to remember the concept of “state”, its main features, external and internal functions. The first judgment directs us to such a feature of the state as the exclusive right for lawmaking. Therefore, the proposition “environmental requirements established by the state ( lawmaking), form the basis of the environmental security of countries” is correct. The second judgment is not correct, because the principle of separation of powers is implemented in a democratic state, and, therefore, this feature is not fundamental for any type of state.

The third proposition, “the state has the monopoly right to legally use coercion through the forces of law enforcement and security agencies,” essentially takes us to the most important feature of the state – the monopoly legal right to coercion. The fourth judgment is erroneous, since it reflects the most important internal function of the state “determining the general direction of the state’s economic policy.” The fifth judgment combines two features of the state: lawmaking and the system of bodies and mechanisms for exercising public power (we are talking about government bodies). We read: “the state creates normative And organizational basis for efficient and high-quality activities government agencies.

Right answers: 1, 3, 5 .

Task No. 14

Establish a correspondence between the issues and the subjects of state power of the Russian Federation, to whose jurisdiction these issues relate: for each position given in the first column, select the corresponding position from the second column.

Write down the selected numbers in the table under the corresponding letters.

To correctly complete task No. 14, you must have a good knowledge of the basics of the constitutional system of the Russian Federation and the functionality of all branches of government in the Russian Federation. First, you need to carefully look at which subjects of state power of the Russian Federation are indicated in the task. In our case, they are not named directly, but the levels are indicated: only the federal center and jointly the federal center and the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Knowledge of the principles of the federal structure of the Russian Federation will come to the rescue. Remember that in a federation the principle of the integrity of the state, the unity of state power, and the division of powers is realized, which is what we are asked about. Previously, we saw the separation of powers when completing a task about taxes. You need to remember what is within the exclusive competence of federal bodies: all issues international relations, defense and security, judicial system, federal property, etc.

The first competence is issues of ownership, use and disposal of land, subsoil, water and other natural resources is jointly managed A 2. Those. This is an issue on which the center and the subjects share responsibility in solving problems. Thus, it would be correct to include “implementation of measures to combat disasters” under the same position. AT 2. Federal funds for regional development implement the fundamentals of federal policy and federal programs, therefore B 1. Positions G and D fall within the exclusive competence of federal bodies, therefore G 1, D 1.

Task No. 15

In the democratic state Z, during the reform of the electoral system for parliamentary elections, a transition was made from a proportional electoral system to a majoritarian one.

Which of the following remained unchanged during this electoral reform? Write down the relevant numbers.

  1. free and voluntary participation of citizens in elections
  2. granting the right to vote to citizens over 18 years of age, regardless of nationality, gender, professional affiliation, level of education, income
  3. secret voting procedure
  4. voting in single-member constituencies
  5. dependence of the number of deputy mandates received by a party on the number of votes
  6. possibility of nominating independent non-party candidates

Answer: ___________________________.

Question No. 15 is related to the electoral process. Despite the fact that at the beginning of the question they explain to us the reform, during which there was a transition from a proportional electoral system to a majoritarian one. The essence of the question is not so much about the types of electoral systems and their reform, but about elections in general(topic “Political participation”). We need to remember the basic principles of elections in a democratic state: direct participation of citizens, universal, equal, direct suffrage, secret ballot, voluntary participation.

Accordingly, the first judgment is correct. The second judgment refers us to the principle of equality in suffrage, therefore it is also true. The third judgment is correct; one of the principles is also presented - secret voting.

The fourth judgment goes beyond the question: which of the following remained unchanged during this electoral reform? Voting in single-mandate constituencies takes us to the organization of the electoral process under a majoritarian system, as opposed to a proportional system, where the state acts as a single electoral district. This means that this judgment reflects a change in the electoral process. The answer is not correct in our case. The dependence of the number of deputy mandates received by a party on the number of votes also applies to the proportional electoral system, which is not true for our question. The sixth option also reflects the majoritarian electoral model.

Correct answer: 1, 2, 3 .

Task No. 16

Which of the following applies to the political rights (freedoms) of a citizen of the Russian Federation? Write it down numbers, under which they are indicated.

  1. holding meetings and rallies
  2. appeal to government bodies
  3. payment of legally established taxes and fees
  4. defense of the Fatherland
  5. participation in the management of state affairs through their representatives

Answer: ___________________________.

Question No. 16 again takes us back to the basics of the constitutional system of the Russian Federation. Rights and freedoms of man and citizen. It is important to know four groups of rights and freedoms: personal (civil), political, socio-economic, cultural. Our assignment asks about political rights, which ensure the participation of citizens in the exercise of political power. Therefore, holding meetings and rallies is correct, appealing to government bodies is correct, participation in managing the affairs of the state through one’s representatives is correct. Payment of taxes and fees, defense of the Fatherland are among the constitutional responsibilities of a citizen, as is compliance with the Constitution and laws of the Russian Federation, concern for the preservation of historical and cultural heritage, caring for children and disabled parents.

Right answers: 1, 2, 5 .

Task No. 17

Choose the correct judgments about family law in the Russian Federation and write down numbers, under which they are indicated.

  1. Family law regulates property and personal non-property relations between family members.
  2. The marriage is suspended due to the civil registry office declaring one of the spouses dead.
  3. Marriage takes place at the civil registry office (registry office).
  4. The legal regime for the property of spouses is established only by a marriage contract.
  5. Parents are required to provide maintenance for their minor children.

Answer: ___________________________.

Analyzing the materials of assignment No. 17, we highlight the basic concepts and norms related to family law. The first judgment will be correct, since it refers us to Article 2 of the Family Code. The key institution of family law is marriage concluded in the civil registry office (judgment 3), which gives rise to mutual rights and obligations of the spouses. The second judgment confuses us a little; it is known that in connection with the death of one of the spouses, the second spouse needs to come to the registry office to obtain a certificate about his death, and as a consequence of this, dissolution of marriage. Our assignment states: a marriage is suspended due to the civil registry office declaring one of the spouses dead. The answer is not correct. The fourth and fifth options take us to property rights and the responsibilities of spouses. The fifth option is correct, since the wording is at the intersection of constitutional obligations and family law norms: parents are obliged to provide maintenance to their minor children. But the fourth option is erroneous because of its wording: the legal regime of the spouses’ property is established only marriage contract. This is not true because Not only a marriage contract, and also the norms of family law, i.e. The legal regime of the spouses' property is regulated by family law and established by the marriage contract.

Right answers: 1, 3, 5 .

Task No. 18

Establish a correspondence between the examples and measures of legal liability in the Russian Federation: for each position given in the first column, select the corresponding position from the second column.

Write down the selected numbers in the table under the corresponding letters.

Task No. 18 relates to legal liability. When completing the task, it is important to remember the types of legal liability: criminal, administrative, civil and disciplinary. A reprimand is a disciplinary sanction - A 2. A warning refers to a type of administrative penalty - B 3. Dismissal on appropriate grounds (for example, absenteeism, a single gross violation of labor duties, repeated failure by an employee to fulfill labor duties, etc.) – AT 2. Remark – disciplinary action, G 2. Imprisonment - criminal liability for committing a crime - D 1.

Task No. 19

Joint Stock Company "Sweet Charm" produces confectionery products. Find in the list the features that distinguish a joint stock company from other organizational and legal forms of enterprises. Write it down numbers, under which they are indicated.

  • division of the company's authorized capital into equal parts, each of which is issued by a security
  • mandatory conclusion of an employment contract with employees
  • obligation of employees to comply with labor discipline
  • distribution of profits between employees in accordance with their labor participation
  • bearing the risk of losses within the value of the securities owned by the participant
  • payment of dividends to owners at the end of the year

Answer: ___________________________.

To complete task No. 19, it is necessary to distinguish between the organizational and legal forms of enterprises. In our case, select distinctive features joint stock company. We remember that joint stock companies, like limited liability companies, are classified as business entities. These are commercial organizations, i.e. the purpose of their activity is to make a profit. The authorized capital is divided into a certain number of shares. Participants can be citizens legal entities and public legal entities. Therefore, answer option 1 – “dividing the authorized capital of the company into equal parts, each of which is represented by a security” will be correct. It is known that shareholders are not liable for the obligations of a joint-stock company, but bear the risk of losses from the company’s activities within the limits of the value of their shares. Therefore, option 5 – “bearing the risk of losses within the value of the securities owned by the participant” (share – security) will be correct, as well as answer 6 – “payment of dividends to the owners at the end of the year.” Judgments 2 and 3 – “mandatory conclusion of an employment contract with employees”, “obligation of employees to observe labor discipline” refer to general provisions of Labor Law. But “distribution of profits among workers in accordance with their labor participation” is a characteristic of such an organizational and legal form of an enterprise as a “production cooperative” (artel).

Right answers: 1, 5, 6 .

Task No. 20

Read the text below, in which a number of words are missing. Select from the list provided the words that need to be inserted in place of the gaps.

The words in the list are given in the nominative case. Each word can only be used one once.

Choose one word after another, mentally filling in each gap. Please note that there are more words in the list than you will need to fill in the blanks.

List of terms:

  1. activity
  2. intellectual
  3. duty
  4. everyday
  5. responsibility
  6. socialization
  7. personality
  8. pursuit
  9. communication

The table below shows the letters representing the missing words. Write down the number of the word you chose in the table under each letter.

When completing task No. 20, I recommend that you first try to read the text and independently substitute words that, in your opinion, are suitable in meaning. This is how a semantic understanding of the content of the text is achieved. And when you read it again, select words from those on the list. You will have a situation of success when the words you selected coincide with those proposed from the list. So, we try to read, inserting words that are close in meaning, then select from those available in the task.

“A person who actively masters and purposefully transforms nature, society and himself is personality (A)(personality is a set of socially significant properties and qualities of a person. Where a personality is formed - in society. What a personality does is transform the world and himself). This is a person with his own socially formed and individually expressed qualities: intellectual (B), emotional-volitional, moral, etc. (in this case, socially significant qualities are listed). Their formation is due to the fact that the individual, together with other people, activities (B) cognizes and changes the world and himself (one of the definitions of activity is the conscious activity of a person, through which a person changes the world around him and changes himself; the process of human interaction with the world around him). The process of this cognition in the course of assimilation and reproduction of social experience is at the same time a process socialization (G).

Personality is defined as a special form of existence and development of social connections, a person’s relationship to the world and with the world, to himself and with himself. It is characterized desire (D) develop, expand the scope of its activities and is open to all the influences of social life, all experiences (again explained through the process of socialization, which lasts throughout a person’s life). This is a person who has his own position in life, who shows independence of thought, carries responsibility (E) for your choice (freedom and responsibility in human life).”

Part 2

Read the text and complete tasks 21–24.

In a broad sense, underemployment is a situation in which the work performed does not require the full use of the individual’s qualifications and professional training, does not meet his expectations and does not allow him to receive the salary that he could have had performing that work (and in that volume) , which I could claim...

Cyclical unemployment is associated with fluctuations in labor demand. A recession is a cyclical decline in business activity that causes people to lose their jobs until demand picks up again and business activity picks up. Seasonal unemployment occurs due to seasonal fluctuations in the demand for labor. It affects those involved in fishing, construction and agriculture. Those who change jobs and those who are not currently employed due to moving from one place to another are called functional (frictional) unemployed. Functional (frictional) unemployment is considered, although inevitable, but still an acceptable consequence of a healthy economy. It can be assumed that even with full employment, wage earners will move from place to place.

The structurally unemployed experience difficulties in obtaining work due to insufficient or becoming insufficient qualifications, discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, age or disability. Even during periods of high employment levels, unemployment remains disproportionately high among the structurally unemployed.

Unemployment is not just a lack of work... Although unemployment can be a creative, will-mobilizing experience, most people who go through it report experiencing despair, powerlessness and confusion, especially if they have been out of work for longer than a few weeks. For most people, hired work is the main, and often the only, means of meeting their material needs for food, clothing, and a roof over their heads. Research shows that those who do not like their jobs still prefer to keep it even when given the opportunity to live on other incomes. Although working conditions can cause adverse consequences, lack of work leads to no less problems: increased stress, family conflicts, and addiction to alcohol and drugs.

(K.H. Brier)

When starting to complete tasks on texts 21-24, you should initially read the text very carefully and highlight the main semantic fragments of the text. Work through the text with a pen to ensure maximum absorption of the content. I do not recommend that my students immediately read the question and randomly, during a quick reading, look for answers. Typically, this practice leads to incorrect answers and lower scores on the exam.

Task No. 21

How does the text indicate the effect of a recession on cyclical unemployment? What sectors of the economy, according to the author, are affected by seasonal unemployment? (Indicate all industries mentioned in the text.) How does the author explain the inevitability of functional (frictional) unemployment?

Answer: “A recession is a cyclical decline in business activity that causes people to lose their jobs until demand picks up again and business activity picks up.” Those. labor demand fluctuates.

Task No. 22

It is also better to complete task No. 22 in parts.

Answer: “underemployment is a situation in which the work performed does not require the full use of the individual’s qualifications and professional training, does not meet his expectations and does not allow him to receive the salary that he could have had performing that work (and in that volume) , which I could claim..."

Hypothesize why some workers accept underemployment (make two hypotheses). When completing this assignment, I recommend that students write each guess on a new line.

In our case, we can model the answer using the text. We do not provide examples because this is not specified in the assignment.

Answer: workers agree to part-time work because it is important for a person to feel significant and needed. Even part-time work gives a person a sense of stability, relieves social tension, and gives the opportunity to participate in public life.

Workers agree to part-time work because in a crisis, even such work can be the only source of income for their families, protection from social upheavals, and allows them to maintain their way of life.

Task No. 23

The author notes that “even during periods of high employment levels, disproportionately high unemployment remains among the structurally unemployed.” Using social science knowledge, explain the reason for this level of unemployment among these categories of citizens. Name any two measures to prevent discrimination against the categories of citizens indicated by the author, provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

The author tells us the reasons for high unemployment among the structural unemployed: insufficient or insufficient qualifications, discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, age or disability. But the task also requires the use of social science knowledge. We recall that from the social studies course we know that structural unemployment is associated with the inability to employ people in certain professions and the discrepancy between supply and demand in the labor market.

Answer: A high level of structural unemployment, even during periods of high employment in the country, is usually associated with changes in production technologies and scientific and technological progress. Those. people of certain professions are no longer in demand in the labor market (examples are not required in the task, only an explanation of the problem).

Name any two measures to prevent discrimination against the categories of citizens indicated by the author, provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation. In this case, we are asked to turn to the norms of the Labor Law of the Russian Federation, since it regulates relations in the field of hired labor.

Answer: The Labor Code of the Russian Federation contains prohibitions on discrimination:

  1. citizens of the Russian Federation have equal opportunities for workers to be promoted at work, taking into account labor productivity, qualifications and work experience in their specialty, as well as for training and additional professional education;
  2. Restrictions on labor rights or receipt of advantages are prohibited depending on gender, race, skin color, nationality, language, origin, property, family, social and official status, age, place of residence, attitude to religion, beliefs, membership or non-membership of public associations or any social groups, as well as from other circumstances not related to business qualities employee.

The guarantee of non-discrimination of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for the right of a person who considers himself discriminated against in the sphere of labor to apply to the court for the restoration of violated rights, compensation for material damage and compensation for moral damage.

Task No. 24

Why, according to the author, does unemployment cause a state of despair and confusion in a person? Using social science knowledge and facts of social life, make two assumptions about how the mobilizing effect of the unemployed state on a person is manifested.

Using social science knowledge and facts of social life, make two assumptions about how the mobilizing effect of the unemployed state on a person is manifested (in this case, we must give examples, because the question says “facts of social life”).

  1. Unemployment provides an incentive for retraining if the profession is in little demand in the labor market. A break in employment for retraining and improving the level of education. Citizen N, after registering with the Employment Center, was sent for vocational training as an electric and gas welder.
  2. Unemployment provides an opportunity for self-employment. For example, after dismissal from his main job when an enterprise in Moscow was closed, citizen N moved to the Moscow region, submitted documents to the Moscow Employment Center, where he received advice on opening a farm, assistance in drawing up a business plan and one-time financial assistance.

Task No. 25

What meaning do social scientists give to the concept of “art”? Drawing on the knowledge of the social science course, compose two sentences: one sentence containing information about the types of art, and one sentence revealing the essence of the educational function of art.

Task No. 25 can be successfully completed only if you know the basic concepts of the course. Art is a form of culture that reflects the surrounding reality in artistic images. An artistic image can be expressed in different types of art: music, painting, architecture, sculpture, literature. Works of art have a great influence on the formation of a person’s personality.

Task No. 26

Name and illustrate with examples any three main responsibilities of an employer enshrined in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

In task No. 26, it is necessary to name and illustrate examples of any three main responsibilities of the employer enshrined in the Labor Code:

  1. Ensure safety and working conditions in accordance with labor protection standards. At enterprise N, in order to improve the working conditions of workers, training sessions were held on injury prevention,
  2. Pay wages in full on time. For delaying payment of wages, the management of enterprise Y was held accountable in the form of being forced to pay employees interest in addition to their wages.
  3. Implement compulsory social insurance for employees. In the employment contract signed by citizen N with the company, a clause on compulsory social insurance of citizen N was included in the section of the employer’s responsibilities.

Task 29

Select one from the statements proposed below, reveal its meaning in the form of a mini-essay, indicating, if necessary, different aspects of the problem posed by the author (the topic raised).

When expressing your thoughts about the raised problem (designated topic), when arguing your point of view, use knowledge received while studying a social studies course, corresponding concepts, and data public life and one's own life experience.

(Give at least two examples from different sources for factual argumentation.)

29.1. Philosophy. “The privilege of fish, rats and wolves is to live by the law of supply and demand; the law of human life is justice.” (D. Ruskin)

29.2. Economy. “The types of businesses are different, but the business as a system remains the same regardless of its scale and structure, products, technologies and markets.” (P. Drucker)

29.3. Sociology, social Psychology. “We need schools that not only teach, which is extremely important, that’s the most important thing, but schools that nurture the individual.” (V.V. Putin)

29.4. Political science. “The supreme power is worthy of veneration only insofar as it is the means of securing human rights.” (A. Custine)

29.5. Jurisprudence. “Protection of rights is a duty to society. He who defends his own right defends the right in general.” (R. Iering)

Exercise 29. 3. “We need schools that not only teach, which is extremely important, that’s the most important thing, but schools that nurture the individual.” (V.V. Putin)

When writing an essay, first of all, it is necessary to clearly understand the sphere of society to which the chosen topic relates. You should carefully read the proposed topics, analyze your “baggage of knowledge”, understand which of the topics you have clearer theoretical ideas on, which of the topics you can give the best examples that reveal the content of the topic.

In this case, we chose a topic from the section sociology, social psychology. We understand that a problem immediately arises modern school, education systems. The eternal question: the tasks of education, training and education, what is more important? The issue of socialization is also touched upon - “schools that educate the individual.” I note that we cannot go into the concept of the topic of the spiritual sphere of society here, because we are writing an essay from another section. So, let's try to write.

What social order should the school fulfill - to give students only a high level of education? Or fulfill an equally important mission – personal development?

As is known from the course of social studies, education is a way of personality development through people’s acquisition of knowledge, acquisition of skills and abilities, development of creative abilities through a system of social institutions, the most important of which is school.

When we talk about a school as an institution that provides education, we understand that we are talking about a social institution that has a number of elements: these are educational standards and programs, operating principles, which include a network of educational institutions and governing bodies.

To improve the quality of education, the state is taking a number of measures: lengthening the duration of training, increasing the requirements for the level of qualifications of teachers, using variability educational programs, individual educational trajectories for students are built, schools are equipped with modern equipment, and new forms of final certification are introduced.

As a result, we see how school graduates demonstrate high scores on the Unified State Examination, which give them the opportunity to occupy budget places in leading universities of the capital. According to the results of international studies presented by the Higher School of Economics, in which 49 countries took part, Russian schoolchildren primary classes ranks top in the world in reading, math and science. And also 8th grade math. According to researchers, this result was achieved thanks to the introduction of new educational standards and a unified state certification system.

But only enough educational results for society and people? The author of the quote clearly points us to the most important component educational process: education of a person’s personality.

Based on the functions of education: economic, social and cultural, it becomes clear that it is in the cultural function - the use of previously accumulated culture for the purpose of educating a person and developing his creative abilities - that this problem manifests itself.

In addition to lessons, grades, exams, there is also a richly eventful school life: cool watch, school festivals, hikes, joint trips with classmates around Russia and other countries.

In all this, the student learns to interact with other people, demonstrates his abilities and talents. It is in this atmosphere that the social function of education is realized. Through the socialization of the individual, the assimilation of social norms, statuses and roles.

As an example, we can cite our favorite film from childhood, “Eccentric from 5 B,” which vividly demonstrates how the school community and class shape Bori’s personality. How he learns responsibility when he is assigned as a 1st grade counselor.

Thus, V.V. In his statement, Putin once again emphasized the importance of society and school understanding the inseparability of the two most important processes associated with the socialization of the individual – education and upbringing.”

There is an opinion among schoolchildren that social studies is the simplest USE subject. Many people choose it for this reason. But this is a misconception that takes away from serious preparation.

Political parties play an active role in the political life of any state. Today they are the second most influential social institution after the state. political system.

The term “party” became widespread in the Ancient world; translated from Latin it means “part of something.” In the modern understanding, political parties as a subject of political activity, as representatives of the interests of a certain part of society, appeared in the process of the formation of parliamentarism (XVII-XIX centuries).

The first political parties originated in Great Britain. At first it was the Tories and Whigs, then the Conservative, Liberal and Labor parties appeared. In the USA in the first half of the nineteenth century. appeared democratic party, and in the middle of the century - the Republican Party.

You know from the history of Russia that political parties began to emerge in our country much later than in Europe and America, only at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. in October 1990, the USSR Law “On Public Associations” was adopted, which marked the beginning of the restoration of a multi-party system in Russia.

Already in the time of Aristotle (IV century BC), political groups called parties spontaneously formed. They were temporary associations to support a specific individual. Grouping around a political figure, his supporters and followers ensured coordination of actions, which made it possible to achieve their goals. There are several periods in the history of political parties.

I period – XVI–XVII centuries. – Parties are aristocratic groups that unite a small number of representatives of the political elite. They reflect the emergence of the political systems of the early bourgeois states of Western Europe and America, the struggle between the aristocrats and the bourgeoisie.

II period – XVIII–XIX centuries. – parties are political clubs aimed at attracting people who have influence not only in politics, but also in other vital spheres of public life, to active political activities.

III period – XIX–XX centuries. – modern political parties – the presence of an ideological doctrine and a developed organizational structure. The first political party of this type - the liberal party - was created in England in 1877. They appeared in Russia at the turn of the 80s and 90s. XIX century, half a century later than in Western Europe and the USA. First - parties with a socialist orientation, then liberal, and finally conservative (in the West it’s the other way around). At the beginning of the twentieth century. There are 280 parties in Russia (60 all-Russian: Cadets, RSDLP; regional).

A political party is an organized group of like-minded people who adhere to a certain worldview, representing the interests of a part of the people and setting as its goal the implementation of a political program by conquering state power or participating in its implementation.

Main features of political parties

The bearer of a certain ideology or a special vision of the world and man.

An organized association of people (sufficiently long-term, voluntary), structured on different levels policies - from local to international - and with varying degrees of severity.

Aiming at conquest and exercise of political power.

A party is a voluntary association of citizens.

The purpose of the party is to participate in the exercise of political power.

The party expresses and defends the common political interests of its members; Based on these interests, the party’s ideologists develop its program, which formulates the strategy and tactics of the party, that is, general goals and specific tasks struggle, and also determine the ways and means of achieving them.

The party has its own organization (numbers, permanent composition, formalized membership, internal structure - all these issues are reflected in the Party Charter).

The party clearly has a leadership core and leaders.

The party has certain property, financial resources, and its own media.

Many political parties have their own symbols, badges, banners, and sometimes even uniforms.

Structure of political parties:

Party apparatus;

Party activist;

Ordinary members of the party mass;

Party supporters.

Tasks of political parties:

The party influences the formation of public opinion: the propaganda it conducts in the media orients citizens in political life, helps to develop certain assessments and judgments from the position of this particular party, its political leadership;

In modern society, parties have a significant influence on political education and improving the political culture of citizens;

Parties organize the participation of citizens in political life: they nominate candidates for elections, run political clubs, voter clubs, organize processions, pickets, rallies and other events;

Parties have a significant influence on the activities of parliament and government, on the formation of the cabinet of ministers;

The most important function of a political party is the education of its members, as well as the formation and nomination political leaders– the party elite, in addition, creating conditions for a person to demonstrate his abilities, the desire for self-realization, preventing the substitution of the true interests and goals of the party with the ambitions of the leaders;

Parties develop programs for the country's development; The largest parties have their own “think tanks” - research institutes, foundations, which concentrate the best scientists: political scientists, historians, economists, lawyers.

The struggle for power, its use or control over it;

Integration of large social groups;

Preparation and recruitment of the political elite into party, state and public structures.

Typology of political parties

Current methodological problem in the study of parties and their systems is their typology. In classifying parties, political scientists use a variety of approaches. WITH late XIX V. and until the middle of the twentieth century. The prevailing method was dividing parties according to the criteria of the organizational structure of parties and the nature of membership. Taking into account the first criterion, the parties are divided into three groups:

1. Decentralized or without a clear organizational structure (US Democratic and Republican parties, environmental movements).

2. Mass centralized parties (Socialist International parties).

3. Strictly centralized parties with a rigid structure and discipline (communist, national democratic and other parties). Orthodox followers of the Marxist tradition divide parties along class lines. They distinguish respectively proletarian, petty-bourgeois, bourgeois and monarchist parties.

Yu. O. Martov identified four types of parties: reactionary-conservative, moderate-conservative, liberal-democratic, revolutionary. Western political scientists have proposed their own typology. French political scientist Maurice Duverger in his book “Political Parties” (1954) developed a binary (two-pole) classification of parties: cadre (these parties do not strive to increase the number of their ranks; they are based on territorial grassroots committees of leaders; they are insignificant in number; there is no any system of membership with registration and regular payment of membership fees) and mass (more united, have greater interconnectedness of their organizations vertically and horizontally). Parties differ in the type of connections they have with voters, party members and activists, as well as in their internal structure.

At the end of the 60s, some authoritative political scientists in France and the USA, without rejecting Duverger’s scheme, supplemented his binary classification. J. Charlot and J. Sartori proposed a three-part typology of parties currently in force in the West: cadre, mass and voter (electoral) parties.

Typology criteria

Types of parties

1. The nature of attitudes towards social transformations

Revolutionary, reformist, radical, moderate, progressive, reactionary

2.Ideological platform

Social democratic, communist, liberal, conservative, confessional, monarchist, nationalist, fascist, neo-fascist

3. Participation in political power

Ruling, opposition, legal, illegal, leading parties, outsider parties, ruling monopoly, ruling in coalition

4.Social base

Workers, peasants, entrepreneurs

5. Originality, emphasis on originality

“Grotesque parties” – the party of beer lovers, the party of fools, “Mitka”, etc. More often they do not claim power, but very staunchly defend their limited range of interests, have a small but united composition

6. Differences in the structure and organization of internal life

Personnel - develop on the basis of election committees and parliamentary groups; free membership, few. Financial base – private financing.

The elite consist of parliamentarians and professional politicians.

Mass - the result of universal suffrage; strict organization, mandatory membership; financial base – collective financing. Numerous (massive) in composition. Much attention is paid to ideological and educational work

Evolution of political parties

1. In the depths of the old statehood and political system, a new party is born as a response to the aggravation of contradictions in society.

2. Propaganda of ideas, agitation, attracting the maximum number of supporters, forming the material and technical base for the activities and financial sources of existence of the party.

3. The party’s struggle for power: the search for ways, forms, methods, forces capable of destabilizing and discrediting the political system and the ruling party; use of a crisis situation.

4. Party victory. Preservation of the new state and economic mechanism, implementation of personnel policy in the interests of their party.

5. Gradual work of the party to implement and enrich program goals, taking into account the influence of moods in society, dialectical development of the organizational structure, forms, methods of work of the party in order to avoid aggravation of contradictions and conflicts.

6. Defeat of the party and all the social forces behind it, lack of prospects for achieving goals.

The party system is understood as the totality of all political parties operating in a given country and their relationships with each other. Stable connections and relationships of parties of various types with each other, as well as with the state and other institutions of power, form party systems.

Basis of classification

1. Nature of government:

– totalitarian;

2. Different political status:

– majority;

– dominant;

– coalition.

3. The number of parties in power or fighting for influence on it:

- one-party (there is only one party in the country that has a monopoly political power in society; political opposition is prohibited);

– two-party (there are several parties in the country, but two of them have a real influence on political life. If they win the elections, one of the two parties receives a majority of seats in the legislative body, has the right to appoint its candidates for the posts of president or vice president, to form government. The other party is in legal opposition until it wins the next election);

– multi-party systems (a number of parties play an active role in the political life of society, but none of them has sufficient weight to receive absolute support from voters in elections).

– How do you understand what a one-party, two-party, multi-party system is? Is there anything in common between them? What are the differences?

Objective basis of multi-party system:

– social differentiation of society, the presence in it of classes, ethnic groups, religious associations, and other social communities with the specific interests of each of them;

– the presence of socio-political interests common to various social objects: groups, layers, associations;

– the presence in the ruling classes and other social communities and groups of groups competing for power.

Elections of government bodies are a certain political procedure in which voters and representatives of voters (politicians) participate, who, based on the interests of voters and relying on them, build their political programs, claiming power.

The electoral system is the procedure for forming the elected bodies of the state, a set of rules on the basis of which the relationship between parliament, government and the electorate is determined.

Electoral law refers to the principle and conditions for the participation of citizens in the formation of elected bodies.

Suffrage can be: active (the right to vote) and passive (the right to be elected). Suffrage may be limited by qualifications.

Electoral qualifications (restrictions)

Settlement qualification (the right to participate in elections subject to living in a given territory for a certain time (for parliamentary elections in the USA - one month, in Canada - 12 months, in Ireland - to have a place to sleep, in Norway - at least 10 years).

Age limit (the right to participate in elections upon reaching a certain age (in most countries - from 18 years).

Gender qualification (universal bourgeois suffrage was formed as purely male and did not apply to women. This qualification was first abolished in 1883 in New Zealand).

Property qualification (rarely encountered openly, but its real influence is extremely large).

There are qualifications for age, education, nationality, race, property, class and residence.

In democratic states, elections are held on the basis of the so-called “four-member system,” characterized by universal, direct, equal suffrage by secret ballot.

Universal suffrage is the right to vote for all citizens over a certain age (usually 18 years), regardless of gender, race, nationality or other factors. Only residency requirements are allowed. In the Russian Federation, persons declared incompetent by a court decision and persons held in prison by a court verdict cannot participate in elections.

b) relative majority – greater than that of the opponent.

The main principle of this system is the “winner takes all” rule.

The proportional electoral system is a method of determining voting results, which is based on the principle of distributing seats in proportion to the number of votes received by each party. Elections are held only on a party basis: each electoral association or bloc nominates its own list of candidates for vacant positions and the voter votes not for an individual, but for a particular party list as a whole.

To prevent “dwarf” parties from receiving mandates, some countries have introduced a so-called percentage barrier: parties whose lists do not receive a certain number of votes – 5% – are excluded from the distribution of mandates, and the votes they collect are not taken into account when summing up the results.

Proportional majoritarian electoral system

One part of the deputies is elected according to a majoritarian system. The other part of the deputies is elected on the basis of a proportional system according to party lists.
