SHAPING NATIONAL SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS AMONG TEENAGERS AND YOUTH
Abstract. The article focuses on the
significance of shaping national self-consciousness among teenagers and youth.
The author notes that a person unaware of the language, culture and history of
their own people and nation is deprived of national self-consciousness. Within
our education system, which promotes humanistic ideas, civic education, respect
for human rights and freedoms, a caring attitude towards the environment and
nature, love for one's homeland and family, and respect for national customs
and traditions form the foundation of the educational process. Information
provided to teenagers and youth about historical figures, thinkers and scholars
plays a very positive role in the formation of their national
self-consciousness. The author emphasises that, regardless of one's position or
occupation, national self-consciousness is a positive moral quality inherent in
every individual. National self-consciousness encompasses both a person's inner
character and their attitude towards other people and society as a whole.
