Youth life in Germany


Almost one in five people in Germany is under the age of 18. Approximately one third of all residents (27 million) are under 27 years of age. For most of them, their chances of life and the future have improved significantly in the past decade. This applies to both West and East German youth. Especially in West Germany, most young people have a good foundation in material life. Their financial capacity is as good as never before, and their supply of consumer goods is sufficient. Never before have young people made so many trips around the country and abroad. Most young Germans are content with their lives.

In recent years, the forces of family, denomination, social environment and community that shape people's lives have diminished. At the same time, the free time of young people has increased and their ability to decide their own future on their own has increased. In this situation, modern youth is constantly in search of guidelines and ideals. Not all young people find understanding of their problems in their parents' home or school. Links with other responsible persons or groups involved in this are often weakened. In this situation, young people are easily tempted into behavior that can become a threat not only to themselves, but also to those around them.

The federal and state governments have proven their resolve by pursuing and punishing criminals by all means of the rule of law. Thus, since 1991, many youth programs have been created to combat intolerance towards foreigners. In the new federal states, since the beginning of 1993, a major awareness-raising campaign has been carried out against extremism and hostility towards foreigners. There are about 80 super-regional youth associations in Germany, employing about one quarter of all youth. Most of the youth unions are organized into the Federal Youth Union, such as the Young Evangelical Workers' Society, the German Young Catholics Unions, the Youth Trade Unions, the Land Youth Unions and the German Boy Scouts Union. The largest youth organization in terms of membership is the German Youth Sports Association. There are also youth unions in the political sphere, for example, the union of political youth.

Young people take part in various youth cultural projects, where such important topics as ecology, violence, hostility towards foreigners are discussed. The Federal Association for Cultural Youth Education is an association of 48 industry unions, in which over 12 million young people participate annually. Special organizations initiate, organize and carry out cultural work with children and youth at the international, national and regional levels, carrying out more than 100,000 projects, competitions, workshops, meetings, seminars and sessions.

crime youth democracy

Introduction

The Federal Republic of Germany is a state in Central Europe. The Federal Republic of Germany is located in the center of Europe. The total area of ​​the country is 356,957 sq. km.

The capital of Germany is Berlin, the largest and most populous city in Germany.

Germany is a country with one of the most developed systems of parliamentary democracy in the modern world, which provides citizens with ample opportunities to express their will and exercise their democratic rights enshrined in the Constitution. The separation of the legislative, executive and judicial powers is really ensured in the country.

1.National features

The love of travel is in the blood of the Germans. If we assume that the number of foreign tourists in the world will be summed up, then the Germans will probably be given first place. The Germans, as a rule, draw up a report on their travels.

The Germans are inherent in attentiveness and delicacy. From your German friends, you will receive congratulations on time for all the holidays. It is customary for the Germans to give each other pleasant cute little things, and they must be purchased.

Family traditions are highly valued, although young people try to be independent, and it is considered bad form to depend on their parents. Family holidays are honored, especially Christmas, when the whole family gathers under the parental roof.

2. WITHTrana introduces

Germany is a country that is a classic exporting state, and its success in this direction would not hurt to be taken into account by our country. So, having practically no natural resources, Germany ranks second in the world (after the United States, but before Japan) in the export of goods and services. The first two places in exports are occupied by cars and machine tools.

Modern Germany is characterized by a large number of foreign residents. So, today only about 7 million foreigners are officially registered. In Germany, from childhood, everyone is taught the idea of ​​the unity of the German nation (in our country, the Germans, on the contrary, constantly emphasize their German roots - the technology of double standards and double national technologies). Although, of course, there are national minorities. First of all, these are the indigenous inhabitants of these places since the time when there were no Germans in this territory, and who have been living in their settlement areas for centuries. I wrote about one of the indigenous people of them - these are 100 thousand Lusatian Serbs (they are also called Vendians) living in Lauzitsa. In the northern part of Schleswig-Holstein, a Danish minority lives, it numbers 50 thousand people. These groups of peoples are free to develop their language and culture. In particular, the "German Danes" have their own political representation - the South Schleswig Union of Voters, which is represented in the parliaments of the communes and until now had a deputy seat in the state parliament of Schleswig-Holstein.

I would like to emphasize my opinion that division along ethnic lines does not make the state strong. This only divides the peoples, of course, this is far from a complete description of Germany, but I think that a general idea can be obtained and as we review certain articles and social problems of modern Germany, we will also return to certain characteristics of Germany.

In recent years, the opinion has taken root in German society that modern young people in Germany live much more fun and easier than their peers a couple of decades ago.

The modern teenager is equipped with the latest technology. More opportunities for organizing leisure time, travel accessibility, extensive cultural and educational offerings - all of this is certainly referred to as "bonuses" available to the modern generation.

However, it is no secret that along with the opportunities offered by economic progress, the pressure on young people is growing. According to a Timescout poll conducted by sociologists among informal leaders aged 11 to 20, modern German schoolchildren face moral and emotional stress earlier than their peers from previous generations. Often this happens already in the last grade of primary school, when the question of choosing a further educational institution for young "graduates" is being decided.

3. Fear of not living up to expectations

Parents demand too much from their children.

In high school, the labor market begins to dictate the rules, the need to choose the right profession, find a job and a place in life. Unlike previous generations, modern youth live in constant fear of not coping, not living up to someone's expectations: parents, teachers, employers.

At the same time, according to the students themselves, the greatest pressure often comes not from teachers, but from parents, who demand constant proof of success from their children. According to sociologists, more than 40 percent of adolescents 11-14 years old complain that others judge them "not by their personal qualities, but by the results of school performance." As a result, the need to get an education turns into an inevitable evil for many. As a result, more and more high school students are dropping out of school. There are more than 50 thousand such "refuseniks" in Germany every year. And most of them are boys.

4. The stronger sex is weakening before our eyes

In general, as noted by German psychologists and teachers, the stronger sex has noticeably lost ground in recent years: boys are much more likely than girls to have low academic performance and remain in the second year. While girls read more, guys spend time in front of a computer or TV. Survey data confirm that two-thirds of German schoolchildren spend more time playing computer games and watching films and television than studying. Among schoolgirls, this figure is only 14 percent.

5. Lack of role models

According to experts, the main problem is that today's youth lack real leaders and worthy role models. For those boys, these are male teachers, whose number in German schools has been steadily declining year after year. Secondly, these are the parents. Social skills and values ​​such as a sense of solidarity, the lack of which modern teenagers are accused of, should be instilled, first of all, in the family, psychologists say.

6. The problem of migrants

Immigrants from the countries of the former Soviet Union are a very important problem for Germans. If before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the bulk of the immigrants were Germans from Poland, then, starting in 1990, immigrants from the USSR took the lead here.

In the first wave of resettlement in the 1950s and 1980s, the settlers were mainly elderly people who preserved cultural traditions, spoke German perfectly, familiar with the history of Germany, perfectly imagining what it was, and indeed it is. Today, the majority of immigrants do not even have basic language skills, and this problem is becoming more and more widespread, since although the influx of immigrants has noticeably decreased in recent years, the number of people leaving for Germany continues to remain high for Germany.

The problem of immigrants from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan in Germany is very relevant today, they have a German passport, but they do not feel like Germans. Social adaptation is one of the main problems for the migrants and the host country.

The feeling of a new homeland did not come to them upon arrival in Germany, and how could it happen so quickly, more often than not, if this happens, then only in the second or third generation, maybe then the feeling of unity with Germany will come, as with Homeland. But now we must not forget that many immigrants still have relatives, friends, workmates, graves of their mothers or fathers in Russia. Often, when they conduct surveys or interview migrants, one has to hear stories about how difficult it is for them to get used to this prosperous country. Yes, they were accepted, they were given an allowance, they were placed temporarily, they were able to buy a car, household appliances, but they lived in a different system, with different habits, with different traditions, most of the immigrants have big problems with the language.

For a teenager, moving to Germany is often an involuntary, forced step, made at the behest of the parents, so moving to Germany is an emotional test for them. “The insecurity is enormous,” says G. Schmitt. Migrant teenagers have a different cultural background and do not know how their peers in Germany think, what they live and what they dream about. For fear that they will do something wrong (clothes, behavior, choice of word), they prefer to communicate in an environment of their own kind. So, one of the respondents, Elena, would even willingly come back: "I'm at home in Ukraine," she says. Others saw better prospects for themselves in Germany, such as Nastya, who would like to get a secretary's specialty or continue her education at the university, but could not get a job in her specialty and continue her studies at the university, and now she has big conflicts with her parents, with her peers. yes, already, and with the law.

But no less important problem for many immigrants is overcoming the language barrier. Employees of this service say that the clientele of those who apply to the social assistance service has changed. If earlier, first of all, old people came, today young families are coming. Knowledge of German is worse, and often none at all, despite the language test, which must be passed, those wishing to leave for Germany. They rent it back in the country from which they are leaving. But according to the reports of those who passed the test, many pass the test, having learned a few sentences by heart.

Upon arrival in Germany, many, especially young people, withdraw into themselves, some go to school, get an education, and then a profession, a small part goes into the underworld. An attempt to somehow fit into the new environment among some of the immigrants is manifested in the fact that they, through violent fights, the use of alcohol or drugs, try to attract the attention of their German peers. Hopeless everyday life for many children, especially if their families live on funds received from the organization of social assistance.

7. The problem of crime

Not only in Russia there is a problem of corruption and banditry, but in the united Germany it remains an important issue that needs to be addressed, otherwise it may acquire an alarming scale. Of course, German society is still far from its southern neighbors, the Italians, in terms of the number of criminals and crimes. But, if you do not resolve this issue now, and close your eyes to it, then soon the ubiquitous hands of criminals will reach all corners of the country, and then it will be too late to try to do anything, because the bandits, like uninvited guests, fill the entire space, and their then it is very difficult to survive from the state.

They come without an invitation, as soon as they see where they can profit and do not leave until they understand that everything is over. They extend their influence from the trade in drugs, weapons, foodstuffs to the influence on the highest officials of the state. The economic damage from the activities of criminals is many times greater than the cost of fighting crime. Therefore, in order to somehow resist the growth of crime in Germany, the question is raised of the need to urgently change the law on combating crime, improve special education, especially in the field of the environment and economic crime, and teach foreign languages ​​to police officers.

Output

Summing up the results of this work, I would like to draw the following conclusions:

German citizens are very concerned about how the social problems of their society are solved, what solutions are proposed by political scientists, sociologists and other scientists. An indicator of the effective work of the government is the positive shifts in solving a particular problem.

The rise in unemployment in recent years, especially among young people, has led to great concern and the adoption of a number of measures that have begun to gradually stabilize the situation, but there is still a long way to go.

The growth of crime among young people, technical crimes, the merging of criminals with government officials, an increase in the number of drug addicts and AIDS patients - this causes concern for mothers, scientists and politicians.

In Germany today, one cannot ignore the deteriorating situation of immigrants from Russia and the CIS countries. Immigrants in Germany now face enormous obstacles to their integration. Many do not cope with difficulties, drink too much, engage in prostitution, drug addiction, so they need to be warned against rash steps, help in realizing a serious approach to the need to move to a foreign country, and whether it is necessary to leave somewhere at all. The proverb teaches: it's good there where we are not. Isn't it better to improve your life, where you are the boss, and go to Germany to visit relatives, on excursions, to learn the language ...

Russia and Germany have a lot of similar social problems and therefore we should mutually take into account the positive and negative experience accumulated in Germany in solving social problems.

Introduction
The problems of youth have worried society at all times. The problem of young people is one of the main ones, because the future belongs to them. But the "present century" and the "past century" are always in contradiction. The time of global reforms that swept over Russia "broke" the system of the former "morality", significantly overturning all moral values. The older generation, who still has a fresh memory of "the days of the past" in their memory, finds it difficult to adapt to the current conditions, preserving the old system of values; it is even more difficult for the younger generation in this regard, since he does not yet have his own system of values, and if he does, it is conditional ...

But why does it seem to us that the older generation is always wrong, that they are looking for the origins of problems when they are on the surface or are looking for them in the wrong place? Probably because today's youth do not have a very developed sense of responsibility, or it is not yet strongly rooted in young souls. Young people do not have time to adapt to the rapidly changing economic, political, spiritual and social aspects of life. Social progress affects her needs, interests, value orientations.

Youth is a path to the future that a person chooses. The choice of the future, its planning is a characteristic feature of a young age.

The formation of the social maturity of young people is influenced by many factors: family, school, labor collective, mass media, youth organizations. Youth is a time when everyone must determine their own destiny, find the only true life path leading to success, which will allow them to maximize their abilities and talents. The growing generation is less healthy physically and mentally than the previous one. On average in Russia, only 10% of school graduates can consider themselves absolutely healthy. The number of young people leading an immoral lifestyle is increasing. Young people are being criminalized.Reducing opportunities for youth to participate in economic development. The share of young people among the unemployed remains high. Falling value of labor. “Big salary” - this motive turned out to be decisive when choosing a place of work.

Modern youth has a trait that shows that most of them want to have a good income, while not having a profession and not wanting to work. This is due to the fact that young people lack incentives to work.

Relevance of the research topic: This topic is especially relevant, since youth is the future of Russia.

  1. Main part.

2.1. What kind of youth she is XXI century?
What is the youth of the twenty-first century? If you ask this question to the grandparents of a modern young man, they will say that this generation, which lives one day, does not think about anything. They do not need anything, they are not interested in anything - such an opinion can often be heard from the older generation about modern young people.

Perhaps they are right? Look at a guy or a girl. They are sitting somewhere in the park, on a bench in the yard. They smoke, there may be a bottle of beer in their hands. Such a picture can often be seen today. But this does not mean at all that absolutely all young people are only interested in drinking and thoughtless pastime. Not at all.

Young people today are very different from their twentieth century peers. First, they are much more informed than they are, because the latest technologies allow them to receive a much larger amount of information than fifteen to twenty years ago. Secondly, it cannot be said that young people today are less educated. On the contrary, they know more, as they can receive knowledge from many sources. They just live in a different time.

But the important human values ​​for today's youth have remained the same. They also love and want to be happy, like young people did a hundred and two hundred years ago. They also want to find themselves, their place in this world. Only their methods and means are now different, and the possibilities have changed significantly.

Modern young men and women, as in the old days, are ready to come to the rescue, lend their shoulders when it is difficult. Here is a boy rescuing a drowning man from the hole. He risks his life, but he helps someone in trouble. A young man rescues a girl from a burning apartment. He does not perform the feat for the sake of reward or glory. The boy just does what he has to do because the girl is in danger. The newlyweds with friends went for a ride and, standing on the bridge, saw that a man was drowning. People rushed to save him. There are many more such examples.

That is, the values ​​of modern youth have remained unchanged: philanthropy, mutual assistance, help to those in need, and others. And they also have a purpose in life. Only the ways to achieve this goal are slightly different from the previous ones. And disputes about the fact that at another time everyone was not like that, there were and will be. And today's young people in thirty years will say to their children that they were different and lived differently. The eternal dispute between fathers and children!

Today there is an urgent need for well-educated, energetic people who are able to make bright, interesting decisions. The personal professional achievements of young men and women and the confident future of Russia largely depend on the activity of the representatives of the younger generation, their sincere desire to benefit their Fatherland.

The 21st century is the age of space speeds and computer technology. Under the concept of "youth of the XXI century" I represent people who are young, smart, full of energy, athletic, well-developed spiritually and physically.

In Russian history, youth has always been a hope for the future and a real support of the state in its most difficult and heroic deeds.... How many young people devote themselves to helping orphanages. How many have become good workers in production, loyal to their work and their homeland.

Today in our country there are youth public associations and initiative groups. Young activists take part in the social and political life of the country. The country hosts various youth and children's festivals, contests, Olympiads, shows, promotions, sports events, and Health Days. For many years in a row, the traditional action "Youth against drugs" has been held in our district. And our age of the Internet and space travel must become the century of a healthy lifestyle. I am firmly convinced of one thing: no matter what heights humanity reaches, young people remain active.

The life of youth in Germany.
Almost one in five people in Germany is under the age of 18. Approximately one third of all residents (27 million) are under 27 years of age. For most of them, their chances of life and the future have improved significantly in the past decade. This applies to both West German and East German youth. Especially in West Germany, most young people have a good foundation in material life. Their financial capacity is as good as never before, and their supply of consumer goods is sufficient. Never before have young people made so many trips around the country and abroad. Most young Germans are content with their lives.

In recent years, the forces of family, denomination, social environment and community that shape people's lives have diminished. At the same time, the free time of young people has increased and their ability to decide their own future on their own has increased. In this situation, modern youth is constantly in search of guidelines and ideals. Not all young people find understanding of their problems in their parents' home or school. Links with other responsible persons or groups involved in this are often weakened.

2.2 THE FIVE PROBLEMS OF MODERN YOUTH

A young man faces a problem - to become independent, to take

your place in life. He faces many challenges that need to be addressed. Let's see what difficulties he will face.

  • Where to live?

The independence and independence that young people are striving for is very difficult to obtain without their own housing. Own housing is a separate apartment, which can be not only purchased, but also rented.

The housing issue has several problems.

First, young people are always and everywhere not a well-to-do part of society. Young people are a separate class of society that is just beginning to live and uses the resources of their parents. This means that the parents decide whether their child or young family needs a separate apartment or not.

And the choice and decision of parents depends not only on their outlook on life,

but also from material security. There is no middle class in Russia, so in most cases they cannot help solve the housing problem of their children. And for such decisions, young people simply do not have the money. Unfortunately, when solving the housing problem, the younger generation cannot count on state aid.

  • Where to study?

Working in a lucrative profession is almost impossible without professional training and higher education. Therefore, high school graduates strive to continue their education.

The position of our education and the material condition of our

teachers in particular generate corruption. Entrance exams are often a wallet competition.

The only thing a young person can do to be able to study for free at a university is to become a talent. Otherwise, you need to be willing to pay for your tuition. Parents almost always do this.

  • Where to rest?

Where does the young person spend time outside of school, home and work? This is the question

very important. As a rule, at this time a person is left to himself and no one knows exactly what he is doing.

It is important that the young man is really doing something at this time,

because because of "nothing to do" anything can happen:

from hooliganism to murder.

“Nothing to do” leads to drunkenness, drug addiction, hooliganism, fights and other crimes. Young people need affordable leisure centers for them: clubs, discos, sports and cultural centers, cinemas.

  • What to live on?

Finding a job that will become a source of basic income is another

difficulty to be overcome. It is easier to do this in megalopolises, but in other cities of Russia, the situation is much worse.

When a young man is looking for a job, he is trying to solve two of his problems: career growth and material well-being.

It is very difficult for young specialists to find work in Russia. It happens that work comes by itself, but very often you need to look for it. And the job search can last more than one week. You have to write correctly drawn up resumes, send them out to companies, pass interviews, withstand probationary periods.

Solving the problem of unemployment in general and youth unemployment in particular is the concern of the state. In big cities there are places to work and young people to work. But there are entire regions where there is nothing to do. And then it is no longer a problem of youth, but a problem of the region, and therefore the state.

It should be remembered that unemployment among the active and able-bodied

the population who needs to somehow get a livelihood leads

to an increase in crime, social stratification, and as a result, to social tension. But employment is not the only solution to the problem. The income of a young person can be a scholarship, allowance, or other social benefits.

  • What to strive for?

Young people today do not have those clear landmarks in life that were

from our fathers and mothers. But our fathers and mothers had something that today's youth do not have: knowledge about the laws of society and the system. They knew exactly how to achieve this or that goal, what is possible and what is not. Unfortunately, today's youth does not have this knowledge.

A young person needs to have an idea of ​​life and the world around him. He needs to understand what is good and what is bad. He needs to know the laws of the world in which he lives.

All this information comes to the child from parents, friends, teachers,

from fairy tales, cartoons, songs and films. And young people get a picture of the world from the media, products of mass culture and their life experience.

The picture of the world that young people now have, which was created

for a decade, tells them about powerlessness and prejudice.

This picture of the world provokes the younger generation. One part of him completely lost interest in politics and the life of the state. The other, having accumulated enough aggression, unites under radical, nationalist and fascist slogans. And it seems that none of today's politicians thinks that Russia in 10 years will have the face of modern youth.

  1. What is youth subculture?

A youth subculture is the culture of a certain young generation that has a common lifestyle, behavior, group norms, values ​​and stereotypes.

They do not mean rejection of the national culture, accepted by the majority, but reveal only some deviations from it.

Youth subculture is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon. Smaller subcultures are distinguished in it.


Why do young people create their own subculture?
The general reason for the formation of youth subcultures is dissatisfaction with life, the search for their own way in the "adult world", the special nature of relations with peers, and in the sociological aspect - the crisis of society,

his inability to meet the basic needs of young people in the process of their socialization. What is society - so is the youth, and therefore,

youth subculture.
What are the motives that encourage young people to adhere to this or that subculture?

Young people are encouraged to go to “informals”:

  • inner loneliness
  • need for friends
  • conflicts at school and at home
  • freedom
  • emotional richness of communication
  • distrust of adults
  • protest against the hypocrisy and insincerity of the society of "adults".

What youth subcultures exist in Russia and Germany?

Many domestic youth subcultures have been introduced and borrowed. Their homeland is the West. But Western samples of subcultural styles, rituals and values ​​have in many cases been revised and rethought in accordance with the peculiarities of Russian civilization and Russian mentality.

The peculiarity of their youth subcultures is that most of them are focused either on leisure activities or on the transmission and dissemination of information.

There are many subcultures. There are different classifications.-

Socially active, with a positive focus of activity

(groups of environmental protection, protection of monuments, the environment).

Socially passive, whose activities are neutral in relation to

social processes (music and sports fans).

Asocial ( hippies, punks, criminal gangs, drug addicts, etc.).

2.4. Distinctive features of the life of young people in Russia from the life of young people in Germany.
In Germany, young people study longer on average.
For example, there are people who are 30 years old and have just finished their higher education (legal). And they immediately begin to write doctoral dissertations (in fact, they have not worked a day in their specialty). Fortunately, the scholarship system in Germany allows this. In Russia, this is practically impossible: At the age of 22-23, most young people already have higher education (of those who wanted and entered) and begin to work. Here 90% of young people after education go to work in the specialty for which they
studied.

Conclusion

Young people of the 21st century are smart, brilliantly proficient in computer technology, healthy, strong, purposeful, responsible young people, worthy citizens of their country. We are the present and future of Russia. It depends on us what our country will be like in ten, twenty years, in what state we and future generations will live. We will be able to build a strong state and prove that Russia is a powerful world power. I urge young people not to be afraid of difficulties, to be friends with sports, to conquer unknown peaks and strive for excellence!
