ON THE ISSUE OF FORMING NATIONAL SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS AMONG YOUNG STUDENTS IN THE MULTICULTURAL EDUCATIONAL SPACE OF A TRANSPORT COLLEGE

Abstract

. In recent decades, under the onslaught of the “Westernization” of humanity, the “globalization” of the world, leading to the establishment of a unipolar world and the blurring of national identity, Russia has begun to pay due and serious attention to the problem of the development of national consciousness of all categories of citizens, including students. This is due to the urgent need to protect and preserve the culture, centuries-old and legendary history, the Russian way of life and thinking, domestic values, customs and traditions. Today, national self-consciousness is becoming a unique and colossal ideological force of Russia and the entire Russian people, ensuring the preservation of the country and the specific flavor of the Russian soul, character, mentality, lifestyle and life activity. In the proposed article, the author, relying on the approaches of Russian scientists, substantiates his point of view on the essence of the phenomenon under consideration, and also offers essential ideas and ideas for the formation of national self-consciousness among students of the transport college.
