ANOMIE AS A FACTOR OF DESTRUCTION OF HUMAN HEALTH

Abstract

Modern social life is characterized by a crisis of values, growing spirituality and cynicism, mass distrust of people, the decline of significance and the general absurdity of human life, which negatively affects human health. Anomie leads to the formation of mass negative feelings and emotions and the violation of effective value exchange. Neutralization of anomie involves the inclusion of man in social practices, prevention of de-ritualization processes. It is necessary to develop environmental values through care for the environment, the development of mass education and upbringing, culture of natural recreation and tourism, as well as increasing information literacy of the population in terms of reducing the negative effects of interaction with electronic devices. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the state of anomie in modern society and to clarify its negative impact on human health. The methodological principles were the ideas of E. Durkheim, J. Galtung, R. Guardini, R. Inglehart, W. Frankl, E. Fromm, A. McIntyre, C. Taylor, M. Walzer, which are used to study of the phenomenon of anomie and its overcoming in socio-cultural life, as a factor that contributes to the destruction of human health. The scientific novelty is presented in the analysis of a number of personal factors of anomie, which are certain socio-cultural practices and attitudes that destroy human health. Conclusions. It is shown as an individual form of anomie, which is a fact of subjective consciousness, associated with negative experiences, and is embodied in objectified social actions. It is substantiated that feelings and emotions are the primary element of the formation and translation of biological values, anomie arises at the level of subjective experiences, as a distortion of the process of genesis of values. It is noted that human experience determines the possibility of anomie under the influence of negative phenomena, such as boredom, sensory deprivation, humiliation, environmental crisis, loneliness, lack of communication and informatization of life. Rituals have been found to be an element of the genesis of the axiosphere, as they create interpersonal values in a liminal situation, and transmit ideals through education as an intersubjective field of social interaction that constitutes an objective and universal world of values and meanings. With anomie, rituals do not function properly, which leads to social atomization and alienation of individuals, insolubility of group conflicts, disintegration of society, impoverishment of sensory-emotional life, which affects the general state of health and well-being. In anomic conditions, the state of health and well-being of a person changes, which is expressed in the emergence of mental illness and antisocial behavior. Anomie should be considered as a mental deviation in development, a social disease, but not only a deviation from the established cultural order, but as a psychopathology of personality, a violation of the natural, biological foundations of its life.
