The success of public security policy is determined not only by the competence of the relevant field officials, but also by reasonably prepared strategic plan for public security measures and its implementation. Such a plan must be prepared on a regular basis in the context of the application of public safety measures - the state of social life and trends in its development. Therefore, the article analyzes the guidelines for the study of the state of social life and trends in trends. The paradigm of social life is a set of theoretical and methodological assumptions that can be used to reveal the features of social sociality, its value status and the evolving tendencies of development. The main attention is paid to revealing the basic ideas of social life, whose interaction plays a methodological role in examining the state of social life of a particular society. They are based on three paradigms of social life - closed, open and hollow society. This methodology reveals the features of the development of the social life status of Lithuanian society. In the process of transition from the state of the sovietised closed society to a classical open society, a collage society, characterized by a distinctive cluster of closed and open society, arose. The study revealed that the emergence of a new paradigm of social life, the tendency for the formation of a hollow society, is emerging.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the value orientations of modern youth, which are formed against the background of socio-cultural transformation of society. It is noted that in modern society, there is also a change in family values, which are rendered by the parent family and institutions of secondary socialization. Social institutions should play an important role in the development and maintenance of family attitudes among young people.

This article reveals that, during the last 15 years, drastic shifts have occurred in the subjective social structure of Russian society: the people for the most part no longer consider themselves to be "social outsiders", while Russian society itself has become a society undoubtedly dominated by a subjective middle-class, albeit predominantly a lower middle-class. However, such a positive shift does not equal Russians being completely satisfied with the situation at hand when it comes to stratification, since their actual position in the status hierarchy is currently much lower not only than desired, but also lower than those status positions which they reckon they should be occupying in this hierarchy "in all fairness". Russian people's dissatisfaction is mostly a result of them considering opportunities for success and prosperity to be associated with the social, economic and cultural capital of one's parents, as well as with various unlawful practices (such as corruption, bribery), not only with one's hard work or quality education. These views seem to be stable over time, and to some extent they are similar to the views of German people. However, in the eyes of Russians various unlawful practices (primarily bribery) play a greater role when it comes to achieving success in life. In addition to that, one's parents' education, as well as one's own education, hard work and ambition play a slightly less significant role (which is decreasing year after year) in Russia. This means that, as time passes, more Russian people are becoming convinced that a person's personal efforts and goals are not a key factor in achieving life success and high status positions in Russian society. Statistical verification indicates that these views are objectively justified, since, according to the former, upper strata of Russian society are becoming increasingly more closed, with lower strata starting to close as well. High indexes of self-reproduction of opposing status groups within mass layers of the population, together with an increasing polarization of the population (primarily young people) – these are all dangerous tendencies in terms of their socio-political and economic consequences, which lead to authorities being delegitimized, as well as Russian people losing their motivation to achieve success in life through their own efforts.

The problems of socialization and social integration of the contemporary young generation are analysed in the article. Insufficient learning motivation, dissatisfaction in current school life and refusing to go to school, inability to make rational plans for future (learning, career, family, etc.), finding ways how to realize them, and finding ways of socially acceptable living are the topics which are of high importance in many modern countries and in Lithuania too. The aim of the research was to enclose the main methodological premises enabling to optimize current development of human resources in many societies of today. The role of the educational system in the process of socialization is under discussion: could it be in action in future as before, and if the answer is "yes", how it should be developed for more efficient performance? It is decided that we do not have enough personal and social courage and methods for creation of absolutely new system of education up to now. In such case we discuss only about some innovative ways of thinking and restructuring of the existing educational system. The main conclusions of the presented research are the following: permanent changes in societies call for making new goals and content of the socialization process. The countries under political, economical, cultural and educational transition (as Lithuania is) must find new ways creating closer social cooperation between local, national and global levels and different institutions of education. The system of education should be integrated with the social partners and society's institutions in much more extent. Closer ties should be developed among basic education and vocational education, and school, family, local community and the world of work are expected to form new and more efficient connections. Making new strategies for young generation socialization knowledge of various social and humanitarian sciences should be united in much more extent than it used to be, and contribution of economists and politicians is necessary. There is clear need for youth's socialization research and creating of new social structures based on systematic approach in Lithuania. Forms of international cooperation in establishing new models of youth social mobility and employment are mentioned as potentially productive also.

This article discusses the potential of Uzbek women during the period of independence, their freedom to work in any field and their place in society.

For a more precise scientific approach, the article offers a justification of the criteria for attribution to the objects of social work through such a phenomenon as social adaptation (maladjustment). This article reveals the indicators of socio-psychological adaptation (maladjustment) of various population groups. An important indicator of adaptability is life satisfaction. The article presents the results of an empirical study of the level of socio-psychological adaptation of the population (migrants, the unemployed, the disabled and pensioners) and the factors affecting it, as well as socio-psychological technologies for working with various groups of the population in crisis.

Recently, the topic of the life positions of young people attracts more attention due to the activation of youth in the socio-political space of the society life: defending their right to participate in the formation of urban space, participation in volunteer and environmental movement, for the preservation of cultural heritage and values ​​of a various spectrum: from traditional to modern. The nature of these and other types of activity is regulated by a life position, reflecting the understanding by different groups of young people of themselves, the meaning of their life, their role in society.

The article examines the essence of the life position of youth, the specifics of its formation within the existing semantic space of reality and the relationship with social activity. On the basis of the concept of socio-cultural self-regulation of life activity developed by the Center for Sociology of Youth of the Institute of Socio-Political Research FCTAS RAS and the data obtained in the course of the Center for Sociological Research, the author analyses the connection between the life position of young people and age, the level of material status and education, as well as with regional living conditions.

The interconnection between the life positions of young people and their ideological attitudes towards individualism and collectivism, trust and distrust of others are described. By using structural and taxonomic modeling of the life process of young people, the interrelationships of their life positions with elements of the socio-cultural mechanism of self-regulation are considered. Thus, the author analyzes the connections between the core of the taxon of habitus of active and passive life positions of young people with archetypes, mental traits, modern features and life-meaning values, types of youth cultures. It has been established that the regulatory function of an active life position is realiszed through both traditional and modern elements of the self-regulation mechanism: by archetypes of glory and idealzation of the past, on the one hand, and rationalism, openness to everything foreign, attitude to the country as a place of residence, on the other. In turn, the regulatory function of a passive life position is predominantly formed under the influence of the conditions of the vital activities of the young people, and the role of youth types of culture and life-meaning values ​​is reduced to their awareness of the semantic content of the formed habitual attitude. The article also analyzes the indicators of the social activity of young people based on their connection with the worldview semantic attitudes.

The relevance of the study of the living conditions of rural women is related to the actual demographic situation in the Russian hinterland. In rural areas of the Russian Federation there is a stable decline in the population due, first of all, to natural population decrease, as well as migration outflow connected with low standards and quality of life, unattractiveness of labor in rural areas, and social infrastructure. Rural women as a socio-demographic group with typical socio-psychological, ideological, moral and ethno-cultural characteristics, similar spiritual values, social experience and lifestyles, being a more numerous part of the population of rural territories, act as a kind of bulwark for preservation of the village, its culture, traditions and rural economy as a whole. A quarter of all Russian women live in rural areas. Distribution of the country's population by gender and age groups as of January 1, 2019 shows that women predominate in the rural population (52%). And the group of women over working age is twice as large as that of men (6775 thousand against 3230 thousand). In other words, Russian village has actually a female face. In this regard, the study of rural women's issues is very important and timely. The article shows the role of women in the social development of the village, provides excerpts from interviews of rural female activists, their reasoning about how they live despite the difficulties that surround them. It highlights demographic trends in rural areas, assesses the quality of the labor potential of rural residents in comparison with urban residents, and shows a higher level of self-realization in labor activity among women than among men.

The article considers new non-traditional types of mass culture that hinder the formation of the spiritual and moral life of the youth. In the era of market economy and transformation of national values and ideals, there is a need to improve the tolerant attitude of mass culture. We often hear from TV screens, from leading politicians, the word «tolerance» or «toleration in various guises and meanings of socialization of young people», which we were not familiar with until recently. In many cultures, the concept of «tolerance» is characterized by a kind of synonym for toleration: Latin-tolerantia; Portuguese-tolerância; Italian-tolleranza; Dutch-tolerantie; Uzbek-bag'rikenglik and sabr-toqatlilik. Sociological analyses show that some types of modern non-traditional forms and patterns of culture have a negative impact on the spiritual and moral life of the younger generation. In our opinion, it is tolerance that has become the basis for the spread of new types of mass culture among young people. Starizm (translated from English «stars», means celebrity cult) causes young people to have new artifi cial idols to copy. Kitsch — hack, tasteless, «cheap». Flash mob — a pre-planned mass gathering. Vandalism was manifested in the past in the destruction of national historical monuments, which passes into the area of the spiritual life of the population, especially young people. We stand in solidarity with those specialists who are in favor of the expediency and consistency of the work carried out among young people. However, the most important innovative method that ensures the effectiveness of educational work, as we think, is the revival of the traditional social status and function of the family. The family as a traditional institution has been modernized to the detriment of national peculiarity and ideals. The work on the formation of tolerance in modern society should be associated not only with the training of young people in specific skills of tolerant behavior, but also with the formation of certain personal qualities. It is about self-esteem and the ability to respect the dignity of others; the awareness that each person is diverse in their manifestations and is not like others; a positive attitude towards oneself and representatives of other peoples and other cultures.

The article deals with the analysis of social justice as a universal value that determines the evaluation of social practices in all the spheres of social life. But the study of such an evaluation of society in the sphere of interethnic relations is faced with a number of theoretical problems. The authors show that when evaluating interethnic relations in accordance with the criterion of social justice, due to the ambiguous interpretation of their meaning, it is necessary to rely on an interdisciplinary approach. An important area of this analysis is the correlation of the theoretical understanding of ethnicity and the practice of state building in the context of the cultural diversity of the population. Two strategies for achieving social justice in the sphere of interethnic relations are shown: the building of the SU ethno-nations and the building of the RF nation with securing civil rights in the sphere of the implementation of ethno-cultural identity and providing conditions for the development of ethno-cultural diversity.

As a result of the development of automation and robotization in the economy of developed countries, the need for labor is reduced, which entails a decline in employment. Given the preservation of existing trends, the labor society is transformed into a rent society, with leisure being the main occupation of the majority of its members. In this regard, concerns are voiced about the loss of habitual meaning of life and, as a consequence, the degradation of the individual and society. The author puts forward a thesis that social activity is more natural (that is, biologically conditioned) for a human being than labor. In support of this fact factual evidence is given, which indicates that for most of their history people have practiced an appropriating economy, which allowed for achieving maximum production with minimal labor. Thus, members of pre-agricultural and extra-agricultural communities could devote most of their time to rest, communication and a variety of group rituals. It is possible that in the emerging post-labor society there will be a similar situation, and the close future might turn out to be similar to the distant past.
