Phenomenon of victimogenic culture in the XXI century

 

Annotation: In the theses, the phenomenon of victimogenic culture is regarded as a complex of vision and behavioral orientations of subject for social action, expressed him towards an object of co-culturgenic impact, with the view of doing harm to the object of impact.

Key words: the phenomenon of victimogenic culture; the factor of social destructiveness; the cognitive defect of socialization; the co-culturgenic impact.

Being a new feature of civilized society in the XXI century, victimogenic culture can designate a possible vector of crisis of its development, what contributes to significant actualization of given subject matter. Social regularities of victimization’s action as the social deviation in particular way, are reflected in the researches of Vishnevetsky K.V, Voitenko S.G, Kleyberg Y.A, Romanova L.I, Rudensky E.V [2; 3; 5; 6; 7] and others. Many researchers observe that victimization of young generation in the XXI century is increasing; as s consequence a lot of works are appeared which investigate the factors of personality’s victimization (Andronnikova O.O, Vishnevetsky K.V, Klachkova O.A, Rudensky E.V) [1;2;4;7]; therefore, they prove the cognitive defect of socialization, it is a way to degradation of personality.

Conclusions: 1. The problem of victimization is confined in having restrictive limits inside itself. Victimogenic culture peculiar to relevant paradigm of thinking in the subject-object relations. Subject-object paradigm isn’t primary, constituted by antroporeality; it is secondary in relation to dialogical paradigm and it is regarded as consequence of human self- formation and self-transcending. Just in this collaterality, the problem’s solution of victimogenic culture’s bases are hidden, as far as it is also a logical result of not only alienation, but human self-alienation.

2. There is an invariant structure of victimogenic culture’s phenomenon,  in other words - system of stable features and characteristics, which define specific world-view and pragmatist intensions of  not only social action’s subject, but also an object of impact. So, conceptual field of victimogenic culture is defined as social phenomena, and also its ontological bases are discovered; it is shown that victimogenic culture is “human measurement” of human existence’s transformations. Constitutive features of victimogenic culture’s phenomenon are certain format of its organization, rationalization, sustainability, orientation, instrumentality, anticipatory nature, which is determined by singular factor – presence of human’s conscience.

3. The phenomenon of victimogenic culture is understood as a complex of  vision and behavioral orientations of subject for social action, expressed him towards an object of co-culturgenic impact, with the view of doing  certain harm to the object of impact.

4. Social victimogenic culture is a derivation from person’s victimogenic culture as such and genetically go back to it, as the latter initially and unavoidably have social nature, appearing in the social relations.

5. Substance of the victimogenic culture’s phenomenon regarded as a factor of social destructiveness. We suppose the further investigation of correlation between social existence and victimogenic culture is necessary and this possible will allow minimize negative consequences of victimogenic culture’s expressions.
