Activity of the officer as sociocultural factor

Russian army

The modern army as social institute carries out various functions and one of them was always sociocultural adaptation, alignment of the military personnel in relation to cultural, organizational, educational, etc. to norm of society. From this point of view the army acted as a certain resource of correction of welfare level of the population (its man's component).

R. A. Zagidulin [1, page 6] notes that at any form of government the state has to promote formation of special elite of public servants – cases of officers which not only provide protection of interests of the state and society against external and internal military threats, but also are the social group stabilizing developments. They hold society as from excessive radicalism, and conservatism. We will add that the role of officers in society is defined also by influence on processes of sociocultural development of considerable part of youth of the country passing conscription service.

Socially closed space of a modern body possesses a number of specific characteristics that repeatedly increases the importance of a role of the officer.

It is necessary to carry to such characteristics:

and / features of social group:

¾ the age structure of the lower ranks is distributed mainly in the range of 18-22 years, that is in modern conditions is the group of youth which didn't finish socialization, with the unstable or poorly created outlook, very differentiated by various social experience, level of culture and education;

¾ uneven sexual structure – srochnosluzhashchy only men; presence at a body of a quantity of female persons (the service personnel, an officers family, etc.) can't change roughness of a ratio of floors. At the same time the mode and filling of activity the srochnosluzhashchikh, so, and possibility of interaction with persons of other floor, is significantly limited;

¾ individual experience, insufficient for temporary use of stability of a sociocultural state;

¾ social isolation from the majority of other groups of people strengthens a sociocultural susceptibility of recruits;

¾ absence among them long-term social and psychological communications (related, friendly) that is defined by a set from various territories and the limited term of joint stay – 6 months of a teaching department, 6 months of a body.

In general the group the srochnosluzhashchikh for which sociocultural development the officers of part bear responsibility, represents a conglomerate of sociocultural experience, cultural installations, ethnic groups, a level of development, psychological types of the personality.

/ features of activity:

¾ authoritativeness of system of the relations, interactions;

¾ a rigid overregulation of the mode which is defined by authoritativeness of social institute,

¾ lack of individual space,

¾ lack of a free choice of activity,

¾ continuous stay in group of people,

¾ razorvannost of former social and cultural ties;

¾ impossibility of preference of a kind of activity, definition of a choice in food;

¾ the physical and intellectual activity exceeding the level, habitual for the majority of them;

¾ need to adapt for new conditions;

¾ requirements to level physical, psychological, professional and other types of preparation.

Officers in the Russian army represent the state in specific welfare space, and in this sense make special social category. In military unit in the conditions of lack of military operations the officer group completely defines sociocultural norms and the general atmosphere of activity of big group of youth throughout a long time in the conditions of social isolation. Actually the officer is a head and responsible for a condition of big group of male youth with not completely created sociocultural installations, brief personal experience, often – with the unripe contingent in the emotional, psychological and social relation. The passive position or lack of control can bring (and repeatedly brought) in these conditions to deformation of a welfare situation and formation of the pathological relations, conditions, situations.

For this reason requirements to sociocultural development and stability of psychosocial characteristics of the officer of the Russian army are rather high. Personal welfare characteristics of officers become significant force in processes of formation of integrity of society, maintenance of social norm of ideas of the man as the welfare subject.
