The modern information revolution leads to the formation of a new class in post-industrial societies, which we called the “class of intellectuals.” Western sociologists drew attention to this back in the late 50s;

Moreover, it is very characteristic that no negative consequences were visible from this process at that time. Since, according to popular belief, “information is the most democratic source of power,” most researchers came to the conclusion that the formation of a dominant class that is non-capitalist in nature leads to overcoming the class character of society, making it classless in the long run.

However, real socio-economic processes increasingly contradict such assumptions. With each new stage of the technological revolution, the “intellectual class” gains more and more power and redistributes more and more of public wealth in its favor. In the emerging new economic system, the process of self-increasing value of information goods turns out to be largely divorced from material production. As a result, the “class of intellectuals” turns out to be dependent on all other layers of society to a much lesser extent than the ruling classes of feudal or bourgeois societies were dependent on the activities of the peasants or proletarians they exploited. This creates the preconditions for the emergence of another class on the historical stage, uniting in its ranks those who are not able to actively participate in high-tech production. His share in social wealth is steadily declining, leaving no opportunities for improving his skills and replenishing the “class of intellectuals.” This social group, for the time being associated with the lower strata of the proletariat, by the beginning of the 90s acquired a pronounced class definition, and it is impossible not to take it into account when analyzing the problems of modern society.

Slavery has evolved historically. There are two forms of it: patriarchal and classical. At the mature stage, slavery turns into slavery. When they talk about slavery as a historical type of stratification, they mean its highest stage. Slavery is the only form of social relations in history when one a person is the property of another and when the lower stratum is deprived of all rights and freedoms.

Castes

Caste system not as ancient as slave ownership, and less widespread. While almost all countries went through slavery, of course, to varying degrees, castes were found only in India and partly in Africa. India is a classic example of a caste society. It arose on the ruins of the slaveholding in the first centuries of the new era.

Caste called a social group (stratum), membership in which a person owes solely to his birth. A person cannot move from his caste to another during his lifetime. To do this, he needs to be born again. The caste position is enshrined in the Hindu religion (it is now clear why castes are not very common). According to its canons, people live more than one life. Each person falls into the appropriate caste depending on what his behavior was in his previous life. If he is bad, then after his next birth he must fall into a lower caste and vice versa.

In India 4 main castes: Brahmins (priests), Kshatriyas (warriors), Vaishyas (merchants), Shudras (workers and peasants). At the same time, there is about 5 thousand non-core caste and semi-caste. Especially worth untouchables. They do not belong to any caste and occupy the lowest position.

During industrialization, castes are replaced by classes. The Indian city is increasingly becoming class-based, while the village, where 7/10 of the population lives, remains caste-based.

Estates precede classes and characterize feudal societies that existed in Europe from the 4th to the 14th centuries.

Estates

Estate — social group with established by custom or legal law and inheritable rights and obligations.

A class system that includes several strata is characterized by hierarchy, expressed in inequality of position and privileges. The classic example of class organization was Europe, where at the turn of the XIV-XV centuries. The structure of society was divided into the upper classes (nobility and clergy) and the unprivileged third class (artisans, merchants, peasants). In the X-XIII centuries. There were three main classes: the clergy, the nobility and the peasantry.

In Russia from the second half of the 17th century. established class division into nobility, clergy, merchants, peasantry and philistinism(middle urban strata). Estates were based on land ownership.

The rights and duties of each class were determined by legal law and sanctified by religious doctrine. Membership in the class was inherited. Social barriers between classes were quite strict, so social mobility existed not so much between classes as within classes.

Each estate included many layers, ranks, levels, professions, ranks. So, public service Only nobles could engage in it. The aristocracy was considered a military class (knighthood).

The higher a class stood in the social hierarchy, the higher its status. In contrast to castes, inter-class marriages were fully tolerated. Individual mobility was sometimes allowed. A simple person could become a knight by purchasing a special permit from the ruler. But over time, the term “estate” is replaced by a new concept “class”, expressing the socio-economic status of people who are able to change their status.

Class

Class is understood in two senses: broad and narrow.

IN broad meaning under class understand a large social group of people who own or do not own the means of production, occupy a certain place in the system of social division of labor and are characterized by a specific way of generating income.

Since private property arises during the period of the birth of the state, it is believed that already at Ancient East and in ancient Greece there were two opposing classes: slaves and slave owners. Feudalism and capitalism are no exception. And here there were antagonistic classes: exploiters and exploited. This is the point of view of K. Marx, which is still adhered to today. Another thing is that with the maturation and complication of the versatility of the social organism, the need arose to isolate not one or two classes, but many social layers, called strata in the West. And correspondingly stratification of society - its stratification (the appearance of many elements in the structure of society).

Social stratification

The term " stratification" comes from the Latin stratum - layer. Thus, the etymology of the word contains the task not only of identifying group diversity, but of defining vertical sequence of the position of social layers, layers in society, their hierarchy. For various authors, the concept of “stratum” is often replaced by others keywords: “class”, “estate”. Using all these terms below, we will put a single content into them and understand by stratum a large group of people that differ in their position in the social hierarchy of society.

Sociologists are unanimous in their opinion that basis of stratification structure (social structure of society) - natural and social inequality of people. However, the ways in which inequality is organized are different. What are the grounds that would determine the appearance vertical structure of society?

K. Marx introduced the only basis for vertical consideration of the structure of society - possession of property. Therefore, his social structure of society was actually reduced to two levels: owner class(slave owners, feudal lords, bourgeoisie) and Class, deprived of ownership of the means of production(slaves, proletarians) or having very limited rights to property (peasants). Attempts to present intelligentsia, some other social groups as intermediate layers left the impression that the general scheme of the social hierarchy of the population was ill-conceived. The narrowness of this approach became obvious already in late XIX centuries.

That is why M. Weber expands the number of criteria that determine belonging to a particular stratum. In addition to the economic (attitude to property and income level), he introduces criteria such as social prestige and membership in certain political circles (parties). Prestige was understood as the acquisition by an individual from birth or due to personal qualities of such a social status that allowed him to occupy a certain place in the social hierarchy.

The role of status in the hierarchical structure of society determined such important feature social life, like its normative and value regulation. Thanks to the latter, only those whose status corresponds to the ideas rooted in the mass consciousness about the significance of his title, profession, as well as the norms and laws functioning in society.

So, society reproduces and organizes inequality on several grounds: by the level of wealth and income, by the level of social prestige, by the level of possession political power, by level of education, as well as by some others. It can apparently be argued that these types of hierarchy are significant for society, since they make it possible to regulate the reproduction of social connections, as well as direct the personal aspirations and ambitions of people to acquire statuses that are significant for society.

What are the mechanisms, supporting the hierarchical structure of society? For maintaining social hierarchy In society, a simple solution was initially found: someone born into a slave’s family should remain a slave, while someone born into a noble’s family should remain a representative of the upper class. The entire system of social statuses (law, army, court and church) monitored compliance with the rules of class organization of the hierarchical structure of society.

Sustainability such a hierarchical system could supported only by force: either by force of arms, the possession of which was the exclusive right upper strata; or by the power of religion, which had exceptional possibilities of influencing the minds of people; or by force of the appropriate laws, norms, customs, to the observance of which all power was aimed state apparatus.

The hierarchical system of modern society lacks this rigidity. Formally, all citizens have equal rights, including the right to occupy any place in social space, to rise to the highest floors of the social ladder or to be in the lower echelons. The sharply increased social mobility, however, did not lead to the erosion of the hierarchical system. Society still maintains and protects its hierarchy (structure).

It has been observed that the vertical profile of society is not constant. K. Marx at one time suggested that its configuration would gradually change due to concentration of wealth in the hands of a few and significant impoverishment of the bulk population. The result of this trend will be the emergence of serious tension between the upper and lower layers of the social hierarchy, which is inevitable will result in a struggle for the redistribution of national income.

P. Sorokin, rejecting K. Marx’s thesis about the absolute impoverishment of the masses under capitalism, was nevertheless also inclined to believe that the upper part of the social pyramid tends to rise above the rest. But this growth of wealth and power is not unlimited. In his opinion, there is a saturation point beyond which society cannot move without the risk of a major catastrophe. As we approach this point, processes in society begin to contain the harmful trend: either reforms are carried out to redistribute wealth through the taxation system, or deep revolutionary processes begin, in which broad social strata are involved.

Stability of society associated with the profile of social stratification (structure of society). Excessive stretching of the latter is fraught with serious social consequences. cataclysms, uprisings, riots bringing chaos, violence, hindering the development of society, putting it on the brink of collapse. Thickening of the stratification profile primarily due to the truncation of the top of the cone - a phenomenon repeated in the history of all societies. It is important that it is carried out not through uncontrolled spontaneous processes, but through consciously pursued state policy.

The described process also has a downside, noted by P. Sorokin. There should be no compaction of the stratification profile excessive, nullifying the very principle of social hierarchy. Inequality- not only an objective reality of social life, but also an important source of social development. The equation in income, in relations to property, power deprives individuals important internal incentive to action, self-realization, self-affirmation, and society- the only energy source of development.

The idea expressed by G. Simmel that stability of the hierarchical structure of society depends on t specific gravity and role of the middle layer, or class. Occupying an intermediate position, the middle class plays a kind of connecting role between the two poles of the social hierarchy, reducing their opposition. The larger the middle class, the more chances it has to influence state policy, the process of formation of fundamental values ​​of society, the worldview of citizens, while avoiding the extremes inherent in opposing forces.

Availability thick middle layer in the social hierarchy of many modern countries allows them to remain stable, despite sporadic rising tensions among the poorest. This tension is extinguished not so much by the power of the repressive apparatus, How many neutral position of the majority, generally satisfied with his position, confident in the future, feeling his strength and authority. In all developed countries, despite their cultural and geographical differences, the share of the middle class is approximately the same 55-60%. On the social ladder it is located between the elite (tops) and the workers or social lower classes. The increase in his role in society is explained by completely objective reasons. In developed countries in the 20th century. There is a reduction in manual labor and an expansion of mental labor both in industry and in agriculture. Consequently, the number of workers and peasants is declining; the latter make up only 5% in the United States. But these are not traditional peasants, but independent and prosperous farmers. The list of new professions is being enriched not by low-skilled ones, as before, but by highly qualified, knowledge-intensive specialties associated with advanced technologies. Their representatives automatically fall into the middle class. From 1950 to 2000, American family income doubled. The purchasing power of the population has increased; you have to work less to buy the same thing. Leisure time has expanded, more time remains for entertainment, tourism, and amusements. Labor society is becoming a thing of the past; it is being replaced by a leisure society.

Middle class plays special role in society, figuratively it can be likened to the function spine V human body, thanks to which he maintains balance and stability. The middle class, as a rule, includes those who have economic independence (that is, are the owner of an enterprise) or a strong professional orientation. And these are precisely those functions that are not only highly valued by society, but also highly rewarded. Scientists, priests, doctors, lawyers, middle managers, bankers and entrepreneurs form the social core of society. Where there is no middle class or where it has not yet formed, society is unstable.

T. I. Zaslavskaya identifies four main features of the middle class:

• set of social groups occupied intermediate position in the social structure of society and playing a role mediator between the top and bottom;
• economically independent part of society confident in the future and interested in maintaining social order and stability of society;
• the most qualified, socially active citizens, contributing to the progressive development of society;
• main bearers of public interests, national culture, constituting the majority of the population and spreading images of their own culture to other social strata.

All of the above signs (and others) make middle class to a certain extent self-sufficient and relatively independent part of the population.

Social mobility

Mobility(French mobile) - mobility. We are interested in social(public) mobility — process of change by the subject public life your social status, moving him up the career ladder.

The term “social mobility” was introduced into sociology
P. A. Sorokin, who considered social mobility as any change in social status. In modern sociology, the theory of social mobility is widely used to study the social structure of society.

The following types of social mobility are distinguished:

• vertical ascending and descending (an individual occupies a higher position, significantly improves his financial situation, wins elections, etc. or loses a prestigious job, his company goes bankrupt, etc.);
• horizontal - movement of an individual or group within one social stratum;

Intergenerational mobility involves an increase or decrease in the social status of children in relation to the position occupied by their parents. Previously, this was not possible in all societies. Intergenerational mobility refers to long-term social processes.

Intragenerational social mobility involves a change in the status of the individual himself during his life. The position of his parents is not affected. This process is also called a career (a specialist improves his qualifications and moves to a new, more prestigious position). Sometimes this process is accompanied by a change in the sphere of work from physical to intellectual.

Studying the structure of social mobility, researchers came to the conclusion that it is influenced by factors such as a person’s gender, age, population density, and the birth rate in a particular region. Men are also more mobile;

• group - entire social groups, social strata and classes change their social status in the social structure. For example, former peasants move into the category of hired workers; miners of mines liquidated due to unprofitability become workers in other fields;
• individual - an individual moves in social space in one direction or another.

In modern in a developing society, vertical movements are not group, A individual character. Certain personalities rise up capable of overcoming the pull of their sociocultural environment. This is not easy, although a worker can, in principle, rise to the rank of minister. (The experience of the USSR is particularly indicative: M. S. Gorbachev, B. N. Yeltsin, V. V. Putin).

There is hardly a society whose strata do not allow individual units into themselves. In modern society, vertical movement is possible. However this transition Always complicated! If mobility were free, then there would be no social strata in society, believed P. A. Sorokin. It would resemble a building without a ceiling or walls.

At the same time, all societies are stratified. They have a certain “sieve” that sifts individuals and allows some to rise to the top, leaving others in the lower layers. The role of the sieve perform social institutions, regulating vertical movement, and the uniqueness of the culture, way of life of each layer, testing each nominee for strength, for compliance with the norms of the stratum to which he is moving.

So, education system provides not only the primary socialization of the individual, but also fulfills the role a kind of elevator, which allows the most capable climb up.

Political parties form the political elite, the institution of property strengthens the class of owners, the institution of marriage allows one to rise even in the absence of intellectual abilities. However, it is not enough to rise. Necessary gain a foothold in the stratum, i.e., accept its way of life and fit in in her sociocultural Wednesday, adopt norms, principles.

This process difficult, is painful, as it requires a lot of mental stress and is often fraught nervous breakdowns. A person can forever remain an outcast where he strives or ends up by the will of fate.

If social institutions are “social elevators,” then the sociocultural shell that envelops each stratum acts as a filter that exercises a kind of control. The filter may not let through an individual striving to the top, and then the one who escapes from the bottom will be doomed to be an outcast. Having risen to a higher level, he will remain behind the door leading to the stratum itself, which is fraught with neuropsychic breakdowns.

A similar picture can arise when moving down. Having lost the right, secured by capital, to live in upper layers, a person is not capable open door to another stratum with a different socioculture and from here - conflict.

Marginality

Finding a person as if between two structures called in sociology marginality.

Marginal- is an individual lost his former social status and turned out to be incapable adapt to the new sociocultural environment.

Adaptation to new conditions is often associated with a radical restructuring of life orientations. In addition, the new social environment itself has a kind of filters that select their own and reject others. It happens that a person, having lost his sociocultural environment, cannot adapt to a new environment. Then he seems to be stuck between two social layers, between two cultures. For example, a former small entrepreneur who has become rich is trying to get into higher strata of society. He seems to be leaving his old environment, but even for the new social environment he is a stranger - “a tradesman among the nobility.” Another example: a former scientist, forced to earn a living as a cab driver or small business, is burdened by his new position; for him the new environment is alien. Often he becomes the object of ridicule and humiliation on the part of less educated, but more adapted to the conditions of his environment, “colleagues in the shop.”

Marginality is a socio-psychological concept. This is not only a certain intermediate position of the individual in the social structure, but also his own self-perception, self-awareness. If a homeless person feels comfortable in his social environment, then he is not marginalized. The marginalized is the one who believes that his current position is temporary or accidental. People who are forced to change their type of activity, profession, sociocultural environment, place of residence, etc., for example, refugees, experience their marginality especially hard.

It is necessary to distinguish between marginality as an integral part of natural social mobility and forced marginality that arose in a crisis society, which becomes a tragedy for large social groups. Natural marginality is not widespread and long-term and does not pose a threat to the stable development of society. Forced mass marginality, which takes on a protracted, long-term character, indicates a crisis state of society.

Social structure (stratification) of modern Russian society

The structure of Russian society in the 21st century. has changed significantly. Instead of the Soviet three-member structure (working class, peasantry, intelligentsia), several real numerous layers of the population, new strata, appeared, primarily as a result economic reforms 1990s During their implementation, the military-industrial complex “sank” and the financial sector and the private sector quickly grew. Decisive role acquired the criterion of property and income. Social entities have been formed that meet the requirements of a market economy in their professional and personal qualities. According to T. I. Zaslavskaya, structure of modern Russian society includes five main social layers: elite, upper, middle, base layer and social bottom (underclass). At the same time, the structure of the working population at the beginning of January 1997 in percentage terms was as follows: the share of elites was no more than 1%; top layer - 5-6%; average - 66%; lower - 10%. The percentage of representatives of the social bottom was not determined, since this category of citizens, according to T. Zaslavskaya, should hardly be included in the working population.

Among Russian citizens there is a great desire to be no worse than others, even if there are no sufficient reasons for this. Therefore, to the question: “What social class do you consider yourself to be?”, 55% answered middle. Whereas in reality it is only 25-30%.

A feature of the social structure of a perfect Russian society is that it has a large social stratum (approximately 25-30%), whose representatives possess many of the basic characteristics of the middle class. These are doctors, teachers, university professors, lawyers, engineers and technicians, scientists and cultural figures, small entrepreneurs who have sufficient social activity and are aged from 25 to 50 years. In any developed country, these social groups occupy the position of the middle class. However, in Russia for various reasons, this category of citizens has a very low material income and cannot self-realize as the middle class.

According to the Institute of Comprehensive Social Research, in 2008, 46.9% of Russians classified themselves as those who lost as a result of reforms and were unable to adapt to new conditions. These people can be conditionally classified as marginalized. A third of those surveyed remained with their ideas and only 6.8% considered themselves winners.

The income gap between the richest 10% of Russian citizens and the poorest 10% (decile coefficient) is approximately 30-40, i.e. the richest are 30-40 times richer than the poor. For comparison, in the USSR the decile coefficient in different periods fluctuated between 5-7. Poor Russia in 2008 ranked fourth in the world in terms of the number of dollar billionaires.

N. E. Tikhonova identifies four classes in the structure of modern Russian society, including eleven strata.

1. The poor, consisting of:

• lumpen lower strata, including predominantly unskilled urban and rural workers (including pensioners who were unskilled workers before retirement), and are divided into the 1st social structure (conventionally called "beggars") and 2nd structure (actually poor);
• border 3-th social structure, balancing on the poverty line and conventionally called "people in need", which in terms of living standards is closer to the lower strata than to the median class, but is not yet lumpenized.

2. Median class

• including the 4th social structure (conventionally called "low-income" and being median according to the structure of Russian society in general for almost all indicators).

3. Middle layers including:

• lower middle class— 5-6th strata;
• actually middle class— 7-8th strata.

4. Rich, consisting of:

• border 9-th strata(conventionally called "upper middle class");
• upper strata, including 10th stratum(actually rich) And 11th stratum(elite and subelite).

As we see, the model of stratification (structure) of Russian society by standard of living has already formed and taken stable forms.

Within this model two lower strata(1st and 2nd) unite about 20% of Russians. These are people who, according to their real standard of living, are below the poverty line, and according to the indicators of the standard of living index, they are characterized by minus values, which clearly indicate deprivation. It is no coincidence that 61% of the group that assessed their ability to satisfy three basic needs (food, clothing and housing) as poor belonged specifically to these strata, and another quarter to 3rd stratum, which unites Russians teetering on the brink of poverty, and then sliding over this line, then slightly rising above it. There are 14% of them today. Unfortunately, a new class of poor people has formed in Russia, sliding into the underclass (lumpen and marginalized), but the worst thing is that young people from this class have no chance of moving beyond the lower class.

Fourth social structure corresponds to the level poverty. It is this standard of living is also the median(middle), and modal(i.e. the most typical) in today's Russia, as its representatives themselves feel. Among them, the assessment of their social status as satisfactory dominates (2006 - 73%), while the rest are almost equally divided into those who assess it as good and bad. The standard of living of this most massive stratum of Russian society, uniting a quarter of all Russians, he also sets consumption standard, which is perceived by Russians as the minimum acceptable living wage, forcing you to live end to end. In the process of the majority of Russians sliding from low-income to poverty in the next 5-10 years, the median class will be divided into a more prosperous part, which will join the lower middle class, and a less prosperous part (pensioners, low-skilled workers), which will join the lower class.

Social structures from 5th to 8th- This middle layers, whose well-being has significant differences among themselves, but which in any case can be considered as relatively prosperous against the all-Russian background ( 35% of Russian society).

9-10th strata unite those who, from the point of view of the overwhelming majority of Russians, can be considered rich. Their distinctive feature is the feeling of being the masters of their own lives. There are 5-7% of them.

Numerically, these classes of society are presented in it as follows (Table 1):

To the above-presented European structure, descending into Russian reality, it is necessary to add some social layers: engineering and technical workers, humanitarian intelligentsia, military personnel, prisoners, refugees, etc.

Structure of the middle class of Russian society (2006)

Defining the main layers of modern Russian society, to middle layers we carried lower middle class, covering the 5th and 6th strata and actually middle class— 7-8th strata (12% of society). It is his standard of living that is perceived by the majority of the Russian population as a certain average standard of normal life. At the same time, there has been a tendency for the 5th stratum of the lower middle class to slide towards the median class (4th social structure) and the movement of a third of the representatives of the 6th stratum upward to the 7th stratum. The gap between the 6th and 7th social structures will narrow, and the 6th social structure will join the 7th. Due to which the middle class will be approximately 15% of the population.

Sociological research in 2006 showed that all three pieces of property (apartment, car, dacha) are owned by 10% of the representatives of the 5th stratum, 23% of the 6th stratum and 30% of the 7th stratum. There are no criteria for 4% of the 5th stratum and 1% for the 6th. A similar picture is observed in other aspects of life (promotion, education, income, starting your own business, etc.). Even more convincing are the differences in the standard of living of representatives of the lower middle class (5th and 6th strata) and the middle class itself (7th and 8th strata). The latter were more active, enterprising, wealthy, achieved more in life: they purchased expensive goods, used paid educational and medical services, and were optimistic about the future of their children.

In the struggle to increase incomes, the middle classes are increasingly concentrated in the public sector (58% of their representatives), given that work in the public sector provides a much greater degree of social security, while providing the opportunity to receive relatively high incomes for Russia. This allows us to state that representatives of the middle classes occupy the most attractive production positions today. Among them, the share of government workers is increasing, and the share of agricultural workers is falling.

It is worth adding to this that representatives of the middle classes were better at “mining” additional income, working part-time or retraining if necessary. They more actively improved their financial situation, using bank loans and other financial transactions, economic rationality, which allows them to plan their resources and receive maximum dividends from their own activity. Being, as it were, at the junction fundamentally different classes poor and rich, the middle classes perform an important integrating function in the structure of society.

Thus, about a third of Russians are either below the poverty line, or on this line with the risk of a final slide into poverty at the slightest deterioration in the macroeconomic situation or some family problems. About a quarter are in poverty. Approximately a third of the population can, although with some degree of convention, be considered Russian analogue of the middle class. And finally top 5-7% are those whom Russians themselves consider rich.

Moreover, the level of material security of representatives of various strata most often corresponds to other indicators of their social status: the amount of power, level of education and qualifications, characteristics of production positions, prestige, worldview, lifestyle, circle of friends.

Let us summarize the results obtained when considering middle classes in the structure of Russian society. First, in terms of their economic status, both middle classes differ from lower classes in that they have a certain economic resource(in the form of property or various kinds of savings and investments), as well as enough funds for the emergence of stylistic differences in consumption on a mass scale. Moreover, starting from these classes, the trend of degradation of their property and personal potential, which characterizes the situation of other classes, ceases to be recorded. IN unlike the poor and middle class, they managed to take advantage of those new opportunities, which provided the transition to a market economy. Moreover, the features of the strategies they use to improve their financial situation, as well as the features of their economic consciousness and behavior in general, are qualitatively different from the situation in the two lower classes and give reason to assume that these differences will grow quite quickly.

However, at the same time lower middle and middle classes differ markedly How volume available to them economic resources, and the possibilities of style spending. Moreover, the dynamics of their well-being differ among them. These differences are especially evident in the situation in the lower middle class, where, despite the similarity in many parameters of the current situation in the 5th and 6th strata that comprise it, differences in trends in changes in their position are recorded between them. This allows us to assume not so much a rapprochement between the lower middle and middle classes in the future, but a further deepening of the differences between the various layers of the lower middle class, as a result of which, apparently, the 6th social structure will largely become part of the middle class itself, which will expand with favorable developments, up to approximately 15% of the population. The rest will join the lower middle class, which will also expand, incorporating part of the representatives of the 6th stratum, the 5th stratum and part of the median class.

In general, it must be said that when working with data characterizing the life of various strata in the structure of Russian society, identified on the “poverty-wealth” scale, one cannot help but be amazed at the energy with which people resist extremely unfavorable circumstances for them, that without exaggeration titanic struggle for life and the right to the future, which year after year lead tens of millions of our fellow citizens. They lead in the most difficult conditions, sometimes with the last of their strength, but still resisting the threat of finding themselves in a pool of deeper and deeper poverty and degradation. And it is no coincidence that the fear of worsening their financial situation turns out to be the main fear not only of the lower, but also of the middle classes - the point here is not the impossibility in this case of buying an extra thing or going to the cinema one more time. The problem is much deeper. Apparently, even the relatively prosperous citizens of our country feel, although perhaps not always realize, which is beyond some very close line for the vast majority of them begins then at first it is smooth, and then everything accelerates sliding into the abyss of poverty and misery, from which it is almost impossible to escape.

Taking into account the analysis and other materials, the above allows us to draw the following conclusions:

1. By 2000, in Russia mainly formed qualitatively new, extremely polarized socially -class structure with poles as bourgeoisie, on the one hand, and semi-declassified hired workers - on the other hand, at very thin and unstable middle class, which would be more accurately called the middle social stratum.

2. Deepest, which has no analogue in modern industrial countries the stratification of society according to property wealth has taken on a character. The state system of social protection of Russians has been largely destroyed and turned into scattered fragments of private charity and departmental assistance, which created all the prerequisites for the lumpenization of the country's population.

3. Polarization is not limited to social-mass and property sections of society, but in a number of directions has passed through a system of relations: authorities - masses, power structures of the Center - power structures of the regions, city - village, ethnic group - ethnic groups, etc. Stratification also takes place within the bourgeois class(national bourgeoisie - comprador bourgeoisie), employees(in connection with one form of ownership or another) and, moreover, splits society into a law-abiding part and a rapidly growing criminal population; on the relatively prosperous, with housing and work, and on the rapidly multiplying socially disadvantaged. Because of this, the antagonism of Russian society has taken on a character and is fraught with either its explosive or creeping-quiet disorganization.

In the social system, processes occur continuously that can lead to the emergence of both the introduction of new elements and the disappearance of previously existing elements and relations. We are talking about pro-ble-me so-ci-al-nyh from-me-not-niy.

There are two main forms of social change: evolution and revolution. Equal-weight model of so-ci-al-nyh phenomena of evolution. Even sociologist G. Spencer defined evolution as a gradual process of the emergence of increasingly complex social new forms.

Un-equal-weight model of so-ci-al-nyh from-me-not-you-stu-pa-et re-vo-lu-tion. So-ci-al-naya re-vo-lu-tion is such a way of transition to a new quality, with which so-ci-al The -sy-ste-ma finds itself in an unsustainable situation: it proceeds de-sta-bi-li-for- tion, na-ru-sha-et-sya balance of social forces.<...>

Social progress follows, in no way, as one of the forms of development of society, based on such non-developments. these-of-me-not-yahs in it, as a result of some implementations, a transition to a higher mu level of ma-te-ri-al-no-go blah-so-sto-ya-nii and spiritual development of personality.

Progress can be applied both to the system as a whole and to its individual elements. From-no-she-nie to re-zul-ta-there so-ci-al-no-go progress in science is not the same thing. Some scientists believe that hopes for limitless progress were not justified, that social we and pro-ti-vo-re-chi-you, their types and rates are different. It is possible that there will be a stagnant, backward development of society, a movement in a circle. However, “progress” is still used in the characterization of social nope.

To determine the level of progress of a particular society, two criteria were used -ria: the level of production of labor and the degree of individual freedom in society. The more progressive the society, the higher the level of these criteria. In modern social science, both of these criteria are believed to be with me in connection with the - cancer of labor (labor is becoming more and more int-tel-lek-tu-al-nym, which means it is more difficult to quantify accounting) and complicating the so-ci-al-no-go of human-ve-de-niya (fe-no-men of “escape from freedom” , discovered by E. Frommom). In scientific dis-cuss-si-yah about the “price of pro-gress-sa” step-by-step-pen-but on-chi-on-it is highlighted and approved three -tiy kri-te-riy - level of morality in society. As you can see, this kri-tery is destined, having developed and taken shape, to become an integral kri-tery, from the most important trends in social relations.

The self-development of society and individuals has a certain vector, which is associated with the concepts of progress and regression.

In the history of philosophy, these concepts were most often assessed from polar positions. A number of thinkers were convinced of the existence of progress in society and saw its criterion in the growth of science and reason, in the improvement of morals. Others emphasized the subjective aspects of progress, linking it with the growth of ideals of truth and justice. An opinion has been expressed regarding the falsity of the very idea of ​​progress...

Many associated progress mainly with spiritual factors in the development of society, the growth of faith in every person, the humanization of interhuman relations, and the strengthening of the position of goodness and beauty in the world.

Accordingly, regression arose as a movement in the opposite direction, as the triumph of evil and injustice, the disunity of people and their subordination to some kind of anti-human force.

In ancient times, changes in society were understood as a simple sequence of events or as degradation compared to the past “golden age.” In Christianity, for the first time, the idea of ​​​​the ahistorical goal of society and man, of “a new heaven and a new earth” appears. In the Marxist concept, social progress was associated with the steady development of the productive forces of society, the growth of labor productivity, liberation from the oppression of the spontaneous forces of social development and the exploitation of man by man. The ultimate goal and criterion of progress was the evolution of man as a harmoniously developed personality. Regression was interpreted by Marxism as a movement of society in the opposite direction, the cause of which is reactionary socio-political forces.

In the 20th century with the emergence of global problems of humanity and increasing instability in the world as a whole, criteria social progress are starting to change. The concept of progress of society and history is increasingly associated with the development of the physical and spiritual characteristics of the person himself. Thus, criteria such as the level of maternal and child mortality, indicators of physical and mental health, a sense of satisfaction with life, etc. are proposed as integral characteristics of the progressive development of society and people. No type of progress (in economic, socio-political and other spheres of society) can be considered leading if it does not affect the lives of every person on the planet. On the other hand, the share of responsibility of each person for everything that happens in society, for the movement of history in the desired direction, sharply increases.

	The correct answer must contain the following elements: 1) forms of social: evolution and revolution lucia; 2) brief ha-rak-te-ri-sti-ki of each form, For example: — evolution: “a gradual process of the emergence of more complex forms”; — re-vo-lu-tion: “une-equal-weight-model of co-tsi-al-nyh from-me-ne-niy”, co-pro-leader-y-y-y-sya de-sta-bi-li-behind the qi-ey so-qi-al-noy system. There may be other ha-rak-te-ri-sti-ki.	1) answer to the first question: A number of thinkers were convinced of the existence of progress in society and saw its criterion in the growth of science and reason, in the improvement of morals. Others emphasized the subjective aspects of progress, linking it with the growth of the ideals of truth and justice.; 2) the answer to the second question: factors that influenced the change in the criteria for progress: the emergence of global problems of humanity; growing instability in the world as a whole.
	The following may be present explanations: 1) hopes for limitless progress did not materialize; 2) social-measures are complex and pro-ti-vo-re-chi-you; 3) types and rates of social differences; 4) possibly stagnant, backward development of society and movement in a circle; 5) the criteria of progress are not one-size-fits-all.	The correct answer may include the following elements: 1) Three integral characteristics of the progressive development of society: - the level of maternal and child mortality; - indicators of physical and mental health; - feeling of satisfaction with life. (Reasons may be indicated in other, similar formulations.) 2) your own criterion, for example: morality (humanistic criterion). Another reason may be given
	The correct answer must be keptproperties of so-ci-al-no-go pro-gress And corresponding examples, to-pu-stim: 1) transition to a higher level of development (for example, from ag-rar-no-go to in-du-stri-al-no- mu-society); 2) applied both to the whole society and to its individual elements (for example, the action of the peasants before-pri-ni-ma-te-ley in the post-no-che-Russia of the 18th century); 3) pro-ti-vo-re-chi-vost result-zul-ta-tov (one of the results-zul-ta-tov pro-ry-va in the field of nuclear physics was creation of an atomic bomb); 4) not the same pace and types of different elements of the system (for example, in Russia on-cha-la XX century eco-no-mi-ka cities actively developed, pro-is-ho-di-la mo-no-po-li-za-tion, and the village remained in the lu-fe-o-far-noy)	The correct answer must contain the following elements: 1) the growth of science (before the invention of the computer, calculations were carried out mainly by hand); 2) growth in labor productivity (modern industrial technologies make it possible to produce more units of output with less use of worker labor); 3) liberation from exploitation of man by man (Russia abolished serfdom in 1861).
	There may be, for example, such confirmation: 1) morality “very-lo-ve-chi-va-et” of a person, reveals his spiritual ten-tsi-al; 2) in the moral you are the most fully manifested person; 3) only a person with a high moral culture will be able to give technical progress a gu-ma-ni- sti-che-sky ha-rak-ter, mi-ni-mi-zi-ro-vat raz-ru-shi-tel-nye for human re-zul-ta-you tech-ni- wtf	1) My own point of view: Progress in the spiritual sphere is happening. The following arguments can be given: - progress in the spiritual sphere is manifested in the rejection of harsh customs (the custom of blood feud); - progress in the spiritual sphere is manifested in the spread of secondary education for all; - progress in the spiritual sphere is manifested in the availability of scientific knowledge to the general public. Other explanations may be given. Arguments can also be given to justify the opposite position: progress in the spiritual sphere does not occur.

Part 2.

The main contradiction that modern man is faced with is the sharp discrepancy between the biological and social capabilities of man and the civilizational capabilities that the world, built according to the latest achievements of science and technology, gives him, due to which the problem arises: what state is the world heading towards? The first option: it could be a more developed world, progressing economically, politically, morally and otherwise. But there may be another option: a world deteriorating in some of these relationships or in all of them at once. But so far only one thing is clear: humanity... received by the beginning of the 21st century. very powerful means of influencing both nature and society...

Man as a socio-biological being functions at the intersection of two opposing types of needs. Necessities of the first type are a combination of biological, social and other needs. Among them, the leading ones are the needs coming from the human body. A person needs to eat, drink, rest, needs some minimum level of comfort, some kind of personal circle of communication, etc. All this, in a certain context, can serve as the basis for egoistic strategies of human existence. Thus, the well-being of one specific individual, one family, a certain circle of people connected by blood or business ties, etc. can be placed at the center of such strategies.

The needs of the second type are associated with the socio-spiritual content of human consciousness and, first of all, with the moral ethical standards, among which human conscience comes first, understood differently by different philosophical schools. But all these schools agree on one thing: it is conscience that is an integral component of such experiences as compassion, altruism, heroism, etc. Conscience is also one of the components of spirituality...

The situation of modern life is such that... lack of spirituality begins to permeate the entire society, and one of its most dangerous consequences is a decrease in the individual’s sense of responsibility. Such a decrease in the responsibility of the individual can be carried out in a certain “corridor” - from inattention to the object of communication or control, etc. until his needs and interests are completely ignored. If a soulless person finds himself at vital points in the state, economic, political, etc. mechanism, then its inadequate actions can lead to various kinds of disasters.
