MORAL CHOICE SITUATIONS IN THE PERIOD OF EARLY YOUTH

Abstract

The paper is aimed at analyzing the approaches to specifying the moral choice situations pertinent to the age of early youth. Classi?cation of moral choice situations is postulated to be based on the leading types of relationships at the age of early youth, namely: “a high school student – an unknown person”, “a high school student – one`s own family”, “a high school student – a friend”. The actualization of the age speci?c requirements on the basis of which the boundaries of interaction between the personality and the surrounding world are enriched is re?ected in the restructuring of the system of relationships “a high school student – an unknown person”. The actualization of the contradictory by nature requirements of “detaching” and “af?liation” is distinctly traced in the mentioned above examples of moral choice situations, which re?ects the system of relationships “a high school student – a friend”. Qualitative changes in the interaction between students of high school and signi?cant adults caused by the need of autonomy and convergence, are re?ected in the system of relationships “a high school student – one`s own family”.
