Part 2.

The main contradiction that modern man has encountered is a sharp discrepancy between the biological and social capabilities of man and the civilizational opportunities 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, economically, politically, morally and otherwise progressive world. But there may be another option: a world that is degrading in some of these relationships or in all of them at once. But so far only one thing is clear: mankind ... received by the beginning of the XXI century. very powerful means of influencing both nature and society ...

Man as a socio-biological being functions at the junction of two opposite types of needs. Needs of the first type are a set 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, some minimum level of comfort, some kind of personal social circle, etc. is needed. All this, in a certain context, can serve as the basis for the selfish strategies of human existence. Thus, the well-being of one specific person, one family, a certain circle of people connected by blood or business ties, etc. can be placed at the center of such strategies.

Necessities of the second type are connected with the socio-spiritual content of human consciousness and, first of all, with moral and ethical norms, among which the human conscience comes to the fore, understood by different philosophical schools in different ways. But all these schools agree on one thing: it is conscience that is an integral component of such experiences as compassion, altruism, heroism, and so on. Conscience is also one of the components of spirituality...

Situation 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 sense of responsibility of the individual. 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. to the complete disregard of his needs and interests. If, on the other hand, an unspiritual person finds himself at vital points of the state, economic, political, etc. mechanism, then its inadequate actions can lead to various kinds of cataclysms.

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 as early as the late 1950s;

and it is very characteristic that no negative consequences were visible at that time behind this process. 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, non-capitalist in nature, leads to overcoming the class nature of society, making it classless in the future.

However, real socio-economic processes are increasingly contrary to such assumptions. With each new stage of the technological revolution, the “intellectual class” gains more and more power and redistributes an increasing part of social wealth in their favor. In the emerging new economic system, the process of self-increase in the cost of information goods turns out to be largely divorced from material production. As a result, the "intellectual class" is dependent on all other strata 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 that they exploited. This creates the prerequisites 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 room for advanced training and replenishment of 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.

(V.L. Inozemtsev)

Estates are groups formed in society, endowed with rights and obligations prescribed by law and inherited. The class structure of society implies that a person depends on his belonging to a particular class. This dependence provides for a certain range of duties, communication, norms of behavior and even clothing. At the same time, a transition in the vertical direction is impossible: a person is born and dies in the same rank belonging to his ancestors. The same title is passed on to future generations.

General concept

The class structure of society in Russia began to take shape in the 16th century. The process took place in parallel with the concentration of land around Moscow.

Attention should also be paid to what type of society is characterized by the class structure of society. The type of the latter, in this case, belongs to the traditional ones, that is, those that are based on traditional values. It is in such a society that stable groups of people or estates are formed.

The class structure of society included the privileged estates and the dependent. The first of these should include the servicemen and the clergy. All the rest were dependent.

Let us consider in more detail which estates existed in former times, and how they differed from each other.

Service people

Under the servants were understood all who served the state. They were divided into two groups:

  1. Servicemen "in the fatherland" - their service was inherited.
  2. Servicemen "on the instrument" - all free people could fall into this category.

The class of servicemen "in the fatherland" had many gradations inside. It was divided into:

  • Duma ranks. These are boyars, devious and duma nobles.
  • Moscow ranks. These are sleeping bags, centurions, lawyers, tenants, Moscow nobles.
  • The ranks are serving elected nobles, as well as boyar children.

Duma ranks made up the Boyar Duma. The ranks of Moscow were called "neighbors", their names indicated the duties of their owners. The sleeping bags undress the king, the stewards serve the royal feasts, the lawyers hold the scepter, the tenants go with parcels. Moscow nobles received estates under Ivan the Terrible, they were obliged to fulfill royal orders.

Service city ranks are the provincial nobility. The elected nobles carried the burden military service. were also employed in public service.

Any free person could fall into the category of servicemen "according to the instrument". They were archers. A special unit was made up of gunners and miners. Reiters, dragoons, border Cossacks also belonged to this estate. The servants "according to the instrument" were granted land ownership, however, in a collective manner.

Clergy

The estate of the clergy was divided into black (monasticism) and white (its representatives could have a family). The whole estate numbered about a million people.

The Russian Church became autocephalous, that is, independent of others. Job was its first patriarch. His choice belonged to the church council, but in fact the candidacy was determined by the king.

In the 17th century in Russian Orthodox Church There were 12 bishops. Bishops were chosen by lot. They had their own courts, servants, archers. Bishops paid an annuity, the size of which was determined by the wealth of the parish. The Novgorod diocese was considered the most secure at that time.

In the described time period, there were about 500 monasteries in Rus'. Some of them were known thanks to miraculous icons and ascetics. These include the Trinity-Sergiev, Chudov, Sergiev, Novodevichy. Often they played a political role, turning into centers of opposition to foreign invaders. Thanks to large land holdings, many monasteries became economic centers.

If we consider the class structure of society in the 17th century, then the following groups stood out among the white clergy:

  1. Deacons. They were priests of the lowest rank.
  2. Priests are ministers of churches of a higher rank.
  3. Archpriests. They were pastors of temples. In our time, archpriests correspond to them.

So, we have considered the privileged groups of people in the class structure of society. The traditional society of that time also included a dependent population.

Posad people

Speaking about the class structure of Russian society, one should name a group of townspeople. This category was divided as follows:

  • ranks of Moscow townsmen - guests, hundreds, black settlements;
  • city ​​dwellers - the best, middle and young people.

The first group was the merchant elite. This group included various merchants who were granted the title of "guest" by the king. These people had various privileges, they could freely travel outside the Muscovite state, acquire estates. But in addition to privileges, there were also responsibilities. The guests were supposed to be kissers, appraisers, they bought materials for state needs.

Posad people paid "the sovereign's tax" and many other taxes, called tax. And the population itself was called draft. It was divided into black hundreds and white settlements. The former included ordinary townspeople engaged in crafts, trade, crafts.

And they settled in cities, their occupations were the same as those of the Black Hundreds, but they were feudally dependent on their owner, who was paid tax. The townspeople staged serious unrest because of their plight, so in 1649 the white settlements were liquidated.

By property, the townspeople were divided into the best, middle and young.

County tax people

  • on the chernososhnye, who had personal freedom, based their economy on state land, which could be inherited, lived in communities and paid huge taxes;
  • owner or feudal-dependent.

Among historians, there are two theories about the enslavement of the peasants. The first, indicative, says that enslavement began after the decree of Fyodor Ioannovich. The unruly theory claims that there was no such decree, and the process of enslaving the peasants took place gradually due to debt bondage. Supporters of both theories are still arguing, and there has not been a consensus on this issue.

serfs

  • on reporting slaves - they usually served as keykeepers, that is, managers of feudal farms;
  • military - carried out military service;
  • bonded, who from free people passed into service;
  • backyard - they lived "outside the yard" of the landowner, worked on his land, received food from him;
  • business people - they ran an independent household.

Gradually servility and peasants merged, turning into one class group.

walking people

This is the most diverse category of people in the composition of the class structure of society. They were also called freemen. This group went beyond class boundaries, and people from any stratum could get into it. The walking people did not have their allotments. Some of them went to hard people to work. Such workers were called neighbors, neighbors, backbones. Others had no specific occupation or place of residence. The state fought against this category of the population, since free people took part in the riots.

So, we examined the class social structure of society in Russia in the 17th century and characterized all the classes that existed at that time.

In the previous topic, society was seen as a system. However, each system is not only a collection of elements, but also a certain way of their interaction and organization. Such a certain order of communication between the elements of the system was named structures. Elements of the social structure can be social statuses, roles, groups and communities. However, any social structure is characterized primarily by inequality positions occupied by its elements.

The social structure is one of the most important aspects of sociological theory and is considered as the main theoretical and methodological foundation in the study of society, its functioning, development and decay. Without knowledge of the social structure, it is impossible to understand either society, or its development, or the position of a particular person in society.

To describe and analyze the system of inequality in a particular society, the concept of “social structure” is widely used in sociology today. If the “structure of society” includes such components that sometimes do not include people, then the concept of “social structure” means exactly the system of social stratification of society into hierarchically ranked groups with unequal statuses. The social structure speaks not just about the different position in society of individuals and groups, but precisely about their unequal position relative to each other. Consequently, the concept of social structure focuses on the allocation of precisely hierarchically formed groups. Thus, SOCIAL STRUCTUREit is a set of vertically arranged social groups and strata with an unequal distribution of social benefits, the results of social labor. The most important distinguishing feature social structure lies in the fact that it is identical to the system (emergent) properties complex its constituent elements, but by no means the properties of its individual elements.

Any social structure has several common features , the most significant of which are as follows:

1) in the process of social structuring, people are differentiated into higher and lower layers, strata, classes;

2) stratification divides people into a privileged minority (the nobility, the rich) and the majority disadvantaged in any way (poor, without access to power, etc.);

3) social inequality leads to the emergence of the lower and disadvantaged strata of the desire to move into better-off, privileged strata, which inevitably gives rise not only to careerism, but also to social contradictions and conflicts.

Since the way of organizing inequality and its criteria (reasons) can be different, it is necessary to single out in history and analyze the various types of social structure encountered in the course of social development. Type of social structure it is a historically determined character of the organization of social stratification and a way of its affirmation and reproduction in their unity . The English sociologist E. Giddens identifies five main types of social structure: slave, caste, estate, class and modern (stratification).


Each type of social structure presupposes its own specific way of determining and reproducing social inequality. In fact, any particular society consists of some combination of different types of social structures and many transitional forms. We will now try to analyze the types of social structure as ideal types, i.e. in its purest form, without specific historical specifics.

There are five main types in total.

I. Slavery (slaveholding structure) - it is a system of social stratification based on direct violence and the property of man on man .

signs slaveholding structure:

Inequality is determined by two interrelated criteria: a) the presence of civil rights and b) ownership of a person;

· the lower stratum (slaves) is deprived of all rights, including the right to be a man: a slave is a “talking instrument”;

The status of a slave could be inherited (but not necessarily);

· a high level of polarization of the population: the entire social structure was reduced practically to the confrontation between slaves and slave owners;

· the unstable and confrontational nature of the social structure;

· exclusively non-economic, i.e. forceful and military-legal coercion to work; That's why

Extremely low labor productivity. The slave is completely devoid of positive incentives to work and works only under duress, and hence -

Virtually no technical progress.

Types of slavery:

1. patriarchal slavery - characteristic of societies at the pre-state stage of development, has a family character;

2. traditional (ancient) slavery - through conquest;

3. servility in Kievan Rus is debt, bonded slavery;

4. plantation slavery (existed in the south of the United States until civil war 1861 - 1865) - on a racial basis.

II. caste structure This a system of social stratification based on ethno-tribal differences, which were reinforced by the division of labor and supported by religious rituals and group cultural and moral norms .

Each caste is the most closed (endogamous) group with a clearly localized place in the social hierarchy. This place appeared as a result of the separation of functions in the system of division of labor and was hereditarily assigned to all representatives of a given tribe, ethnic group.

Signs of caste structure:

ü isolation of castes, their absolute closeness: a person is almost completely deprived of the opportunity to move from one caste to another;

ü caste status is lifelong and hereditary, it is inherited;

ü social career only within their caste;

ü Strict regulation of the behavior of any person by caste norms.

There were castes in India and Africa. Very reminiscent of the caste structure characteristic of states Central Asia clan system, only there was not such a rigid connection between the profession and ethno-tribal division. There were 4 main castes in India: Brahmins, Kshatriyas (warriors), Vaishyas (merchants) and Shudras (artisans and peasants), as well as more than 5 thousand minor castes.

In 1950, the caste system in India was legally abolished. But in reality, it still exists today - in the village, where 70% of the country's population lives.

III. estate structure This a system of social stratification in which social groups are distinguished by legally fixed benefits and privileges associated with their rights and obligations to the state.

This type of social structure dominated Western Europe from the 4th to the 15th centuries, and in Russia from the 18th century. to 1917. Say, the upper class - the nobles did not pay taxes and carried public service, and the peasants carried the "tax", i.e. taxes and duties.

Signs of estate structure:

ü estate status was for life and was inherited;

ü estate status did not depend on property, nationality, profession or even income;

ü inequality of social status was expressed through benefits and privileges, which were fixed legally;

ü privileges and the whole system of social inequality directly depended on the state, on the position of the individual in the state, in the power structure;

ü rigid barriers between estates, so social mobility (career) is mainly within the estates, because each estate included many ranks and levels;

ü the transition from estate to estate was, in principle, possible, but extremely rarely and individually - for special services to the state;

Inter-class marriages were allowed.

IV. class structure this is a system of social stratification in which social groups differ in the nature and size of ownership of the means of production and the product produced, as well as in the level of income received and personal material well-being.

It was not K. Marx and F. Engels who first singled out classes, but the French bourgeois historians F. Guizot and O. Thierry. Marxism made this concept central to its social theory. However, neither K. Marx nor F. Engels has a clear definition of this category. In their interpretation of it, economic, political and philosophical aspects were often intertwined. As follows from the context of the works of K. Marx, he considered the place in the system of social relations, in social production, and called the exploitation of one class by another an essential manifestation of class relations.

Signs of a class structure:

ü unlike other types of social inequality, belonging to classes is not regulated by power and religion, is not established by law and is not inherited ( transfer of property and capital, not the status itself)

ü class status is not attributed, but achieved;

ü social division is predominantly economic in nature;

ü belonging to a certain class is objective and does not depend on the opinions and assessments of people, including self-assessments;

Citizens are free politically and legally.

Note : common to caste, estate and class social structures was that attribution to a certain social stratum (social positioning) was accompanied by more or less rigid social regulation of the activities and behavior of people in a given society.

Advantages of class analysis:

1. class analysis is objective character, it is largely free from subjectivism and bias;

2. the class approach is designed to analyze the social structure of society as a whole, because it allows you to study the most general and essential aspects social relations;

3. The class approach makes it possible to identify general, strategic trends in social stratification and social processes.

Disadvantages and weaknesses of the class approach:

1. the class approach is too general and abstract for a strictly scientific and systematic study of the totality of social relations;

2. simplification of the social structure: the class approach actually reduces it to two levels - the class of owners and the class of the have-nots. Of course, such a division exists in reality, but it does not exhaust the whole variety of social connections and relations;

3. The Marxist approach confuses the division into classes (in general) and the division into classes of exploiters and exploited, because it introduces “exploitation” into the number of class-forming features (See: VI Lenin). But by no means always and everywhere can interclass relations be reduced to exploitation;

4. The class approach focuses all efforts on studying the structure of social class positions, to the detriment of analyzing the distribution of individuals in these positions. The study of social mobility in the class approach recedes into the background;

5. the class approach actually ignores other real grounds (criteria) for social division and inequality;

6. Due to its abstractness and simplification, the class approach is poorly suited for studying and explaining many specific political events and processes: wars, rebellions, unrest, changes of dynasties and coup d'état.

To solve all these problems of social analysis, M. Weber expanded the number of criteria that determine belonging to a particular social group. To designate a complex system of social inequality, Weber introduces the concept of "social stratification". Later P.A. Sorokin significantly improved and systematized the theory of social stratification. And today this approach is the main one in the analysis of the social structure of modern society.

v. social stratification This a system of social hierarchical stratification of social groups on the basis of property, power and prestige .

Social stratification means more than just different position in a society of separate individuals and groups, but it is precisely the unequal position relative to each other, which makes it possible to single out hierarchically organized groups, i.e. higher and lower strata. At the same time, if classes are distinguished by their relation to the means of production and by ways of access to social benefits, then strata are distinguished by the social distribution of the results of labor - social benefits.

Signs of a socio-stratification structure:

It is a multidimensional system based on several heterogeneous signs of social differentiation. There are actually 5 criteria used here:

1. income level;

2. attitude to property;

3. social prestige;

4. level of qualification and education;

5. attitude to power;

ü objective factors (level of income, property) are combined among the stratification criteria; subjective-evaluative factors - prestige ;

ü Among all the grounds for stratification, social prestige plays a key role. This is determined by two circumstances: a) the integral nature of this criterion; b) essential role normative-value regulation plays in social life. Therefore, only those people whose status corresponds to mass ideas about social significance rise to the upper levels of the social ladder;

ü stratification status is not hereditary and hereditary, it is not fixed for life;

ü stratification status (as well as class status) is not attributed, but achieved;

ü strata are not closed social groups;

ü stratification status does not depend on national-ethnic, confessional and demographic affiliation;

ü in the stratification system, inequality between statuses can be measured quantitatively:

1. income measured in monetary units of a given society, which an individual (or family) receives for a certain period of time, most often for a year;

2. qualification and education measured by the number of years of study at school, university, various courses, etc.;

4. power measured by the number of people affected by the decision you make.

Social stratification arises not only under the influence of property relations, but also as a result of the social division of labor, the nature of the functions performed and the uneven distribution of social rewards and incentives, the dominant system of values ​​and cultural standards in society that determine the significance of a particular activity and legitimize social inequality. This point of view has been most developed in functional theory created in the early 40s. 20th century American sociologists T. Parsons, R. Merton, D. Davis, W. Moore and others.

Social stratification is the result of not only objective social inequality, social differentiation, but also social assessment. Moreover, the very mechanism of this evaluation is connected with the prevailing system of values ​​and cultural standards in society. On the basis of the historically established system of value ideas in society and the assessment of the significance of the functions performed by individuals, various social groups are ranked according to social prestige. Prestige This the assessment that society gives to a status or position . Prestige is built into social status, into status: by occupying it, the individual along with it receives the prestige corresponding to this status.

In society, social stratification acts as a special way of redistributing social energy and cultural capital, performs the most important functions of organizing and coordinating various kinds social activities and human interaction. Thanks to all this, the stratification structure serves as a powerful adaptive mechanism that helps society successfully adapt to dynamically changing conditions (external and internal) at each new round of development. At the same time, this structure itself has certain prerequisites and patterns of its internal transformation, which must be taken into account in the course of sociological analysis.

In the so-qi-al-noy si-ste-me, it’s not-interrupted-but pro-is-ho-dyat pro-processes, some can lead to how to arise but-to-ve-ing of new elements, and to the disappearance of-no-ve-of previously existing elements and from-but-she-nii. We are talking about pro-ble-me so-qi-al-nyh from me-not-ny.

There are two main forms of so-qi-al-nyh from me-not-ny: evolution and re-in-lu-tion. Equally-weight-noy mo-de-lyu so-qi-al-nyh from me-not-ny yav-la-et-xia evolution-lu-tion. Another sociologist G. Spencer defined evolution as a step-by-step process of the emergence of more and more complex so-ci-al- ny forms.

Not-equal-but-weight-noy mo-de-lyu so-qi-al-nyh from me-not-ny you-stu-pa-et re-vo-lu-tion. So-qi-al-naya re-vo-lu-tion is such a way of re-re-ho-yes to a new quality, with some kind of so-qi-al -naya si-ste-ma oka-zy-va-et-sya in an unstable-chi-so-sto-i-nii: pro-is-ho-dit her de-sta-bi-li-for- tion, na-ru-sha-et-sya balance of so-qi-al forces.<...>

So-ci-al-ny progress follows in the least as one of the forms of development of society, based on such non-ob-ra- ty-my-of-me-not-no-yah in it, in re-zul-ta-those of some-things-of-things-la-is-sya-re-move to more you-with-to- mu-level-nu ma-te-ri-al-no-go bla-go-so-hundred-i-niya and spirit-hov-no-go development of personal-no-sti.

Pro-gress as an understanding can be applied both to the system as a whole, and to its individual elements. From-but-she-nie to re-zul-ta-tam so-tsi-al-no-go progress-sa in science yes-le-ko is not one-but-meaning-but. Some scientists believe that hopes for limitless progress did not materialize, that social changes from me are more complicated us and pro-ty-in-re-chi-you, types and rates of their different. Possibility of a stagnant, fifth-development of society, movement in a circle. However, the concept of “pro-gress” is still used with ha-rak-te-ri-sti-ke of so-qi-al-nyh from me- no-ny.

To determine the level of pro-gres-siv-no-sti of this or that society, tra-di-qi-on-but used two cr-te -ria: the level of pro-of-di-tel-no-sti of labor and the degree of freedom of the individual in society. The more pro-gres-siv-but the society, the more you-with-ki these kri-te-rii. In modern so-ci-al-science, both of these criteria are subject to ver-ga-yut-xia with me in connection with me-no-no-e ha -cancer-te-ra of labor (labor becomes more and more in-tel-lek-tu-al-nym, which means that it is difficult to accounting) and complicate-no-no-eat so-qi-al-no-go in-ve-de-niya che-lo-ve-ka (fe-no-men "escape from freedom" , discovered by E.

Self-development of society and a person has a certain vector, which is associated with the concepts of progress and regress.

In the history of philosophy, these concepts were most often evaluated 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 to the growth of the ideals of truth and justice. It has been argued that the very idea of ​​progress is false...

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

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

In ancient times, changes in society were understood as a simple sequence of events or as a degradation compared to the past "golden age". In Christianity, for the first time, an idea appears about the non-historical goal of society and man, about the "new heaven and new earth." In the Marxist concept, social progress was associated with the steady development of the productive forces of society, the growth of labor productivity, the liberation from the yoke of the elemental 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 the movement of society in the opposite direction, the cause of which is the reactionary social and political forces.

In the XX century. with the emergence of global problems of mankind and the growth of instability in the world as a whole, the criteria social progress are starting to change. The concept of the progress of society and history is increasingly associated with the development of the bodily and spiritual characteristics of the person himself. Thus, such criteria 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 a person. No type of progress (in the economic, socio-political and other spheres of society) can be considered as leading if it does not affect the life 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, is sharply increasing.

The right answer must contain the following element-men-you:

1) forms of so-qi-al-nyh from me-not-ny: evolution-lu-tion and revo-

lucia;

2) brief ha-rak-te-ri-sti-ki of each form, For example:

evolution-lu-tion: “a gradual process of the emergence of more complex forms”;

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 to the growth of the ideals of truth and justice.;

2) the answer to the second question: the factors that influenced the change in the criteria for progress: the emergence of global problems of mankind; growing instability in the world as a whole.

There may be pri-ve-de-us following ex-cl-non-niya:

1) hopes for borderless progress did not materialize;

2) so-qi-al-nye from me-not-niya are complex and pro-ti-in-re-chi-you;

3) types and rates of so-qi-al-nyh from me-not-ny different personalities;

4) the possibility of a stagnant, fifth-degree development of society and movement in a circle;

5) kri-te-rii pro-gres-sa not-one-but-meaning-us.

The following elements can be included in the correct answer:

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. (The reasons may be given in other wordings that are close in meaning.)

2) own criterion, for example: morality (humanistic criterion). There may be another reason

The right answer must containproperties of so-qi-al-no-go pro-gres-sa And co-from-vet-stu-u-schie-measures, to-pu-stim:

1) re-move to a higher level of development (for example, from ag-rar-no-go to in-du-stri-al-no- mu society);

2) apply both to the whole society and to its individual elements (for example, ak-ti-vi-za-tion peasant- pre-pri-ni-ma-te-lei in cre-post-ni-che-Russian Russia of the 18th century);

3) pro-ti-vo-re-chi-vost re-zul-ta-tov (one of the results of pro-ry-va in the field of nuclear phy-zi-ki was creation of an atomic bomb);

4) different rates and types of different elements of the system (for example, in Russia on-cha-la XX century eco-no-mi-ka city-ro-dov active-tiv-but once-vi-va-las, pro-is-ho-di-la mo-but-po-li-za-tion, and de-roar-nya remained-va-las-lo-fe-o-dal-noy)

The correct answer must contain the following elements:

1) the growth of science (before the invention of computers, calculations were carried out mainly by hand);

2) the growth of labor productivity (modern industrial technologies provide the possibility of production more units of production with less use of labor of workers); 3) liberation from the exploitation of man by man (Russia abolished serfdom in 1861).

There may be pre-ve-de-us, for example, such confirmation :

1) mo-ral “oche-lo-ve-chi-va-et” che-lo-ve-ka, dis-roof-va-et his spirit in ten-ci-al;

2) in the mo-ral-nom you-bo-re the most-bo-lea is full of pro-yav-la-et-svo-bo-yes che-lo-ve-ka;

3) only a person with you-with-a-moral culture-tu-swarm will be able to give those-no-che-so-mu pro-gres-su gu-ma-ni- sti-che-character, mi-ni-mi-zi-ro-vat times-ru-shi-tel-nye for human-lo-ve-ka re-zul-ta-you tech-ni- th-th

1) Own point of view: Progress in the spiritual realm is taking place. 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 realm is manifested in accessibility scientific knowledge for the general public.

Other explanations may be given. Arguments can also be given to justify the opposite position: there is no progress in the spiritual realm.
