Now the use of the words "socially significant" became fashionable. But what do they mean? What advantages or specifics do they tell us? What tasks are carried out by socially significant projects? All this we will consider in the framework of this article.
general information
Let's turn to the most important legislative document - the Constitution. According to it, the state assumes the responsibility to provide its citizens with basic needs. These include food, education, work, housing, health, protection from external and internal threats, and so on. Therefore, everything that works to accomplish this task is a socially significant object. It should be noted that when these words are applied to the problem, it means that it worries not one person, but at least a significant part of the society. As an example, you can cite low pensions, high crime rates and so on. Among the objects of interest to us (within the framework of this article) are those that have a certain social significance, since they provide human needs for vital services, products and goods:
- Objects of health care, social welfare, education.
- Consumer market, retail, catering and consumer services.
- Objects of culture, leisure and physical culture.
- Credit and financial organizations, housing and communal enterprises, ritual and funeral services companies.
As you can see, a lot of different organizations and institutions can claim the title "socially significant".
Classification
And how is the division into separate types? To do this, grouping by similar parameters is used. And if you have to talk about people? Then socially significant qualities are of great importance. An example is the process of training teachers. After all, these are important specialists, on whose activities the future of society depends. Therefore, care must be taken to ensure that they have all the necessary qualities and skills for their work.
An example of social qualities
So, the teacher should be able to:
- Organize the process of raising children of school age, as well as activities that are aimed at increasing the adaptive capacity of them, developing the ability to interact constructively at the interpersonal level.
- To carry out consulting and educational work with parents to cooperate in the process of raising a child.
- Operatively solve pedagogical tasks, which requires knowledge of not only rules and laws, but also a significant share of improvisation and creativity.
- Constructively build interpersonal relationships.
What is a social project?
This is the name of an open space where interaction of various people can occur, which in ordinary life do not intersect. Socially significant projects contribute to their unification to solve a specific problem. Participants in the process can be both public institutions, and individuals or their association. If we develop the previously discussed situation with teachers, we can take as an example the work of libraries, orphanages or development centers, and so on. So, such a socially significant project can work in such directions:
- By the forces of students and faculty to organize and conduct festive and entertaining activities for the children of university staff, in schools, kindergartens and so on.
- To consult and assist parents with children in solving problems.
- Students-teachers can try their hand at preparing students at the moment of studying at the university and see how they can interest their wards.
During such projects it is possible to verify the totality of socially significant qualities that a particular person possesses. On the basis of observation, the student can be given advice on his work and direction of activities.
Socially significant topics
This is how certain issues are called, which concern a significant number of people. So, if the tooth is aching - this is the problem of an individual. But if the dental industry of the country is in decline - then this is a drawback for the whole country. Then socially important organizations begin to deal with such topics. These can be considered a union of dentists or a movement for high-quality medicine. Another indicator of the importance of the topic can be called regularly arising discussions, conflicts and so on. As an example, one can recall corruption. Everyone treats her negatively (at least in words), wants her to disappear - but this still does not happen. Therefore, discussions are raging about this phenomenon, and very often they turn into violent squabbles and mutual accusations. Well, how to know, maybe it's just a kind of show, a representation for distracting the people.
Motivation
So, a person can take part in something socially significant and important. At the heart of his activities is motivation. It can express a wide range of needs: in self-actualization, in communication, in the application of its leadership potential, and so on. And participation can be expressed in a significant range of actions, from work by brute force and ending with value-oriented manifestations. It should be noted that motivational activity, which is not supported by a deep need, is, as a rule, situational, short-lived and can easily cease to exist. Thanks to this, you can observe a large number of all kinds of initiatives that were thrown before they were finished. A lot of this has contributed to the difficulties of implementation.
Conclusion
As you can see, socially significant "something" has a certain importance. Of course, in our conditions, most attention is paid to topics. So, how not to recall the economic crisis that has been going on for two years, the freezing of the funded part of the pension (continued until 2019) and other problems that persistently do not want to be solved. Socially significant projects could help with them, but, alas, in our realities they are not something too widespread and large-scale. Although with something because you should start. Perhaps someone from the readers of this article will be able to come up with a fresh solution to some socially significant topic or suggest a project that will answer a large number of issues that are relevant today. Whatever it was, you need to learn and think about what to do with the current situation. And do not hide your thoughts in a distant box, but bring them to the court of society. After all, even if one person does not have the strength to realize something, this does not mean that someone else will not take up the problem. And it will be much easier to roll mountains together.
