Principles determining the direction and content of traditional and innovative values

Abstract

The continuous change in the value orientations of members of society sets the task of studying this process. Until now, the principles that determine the direction and content of traditional and innovative values in political science have not been subjected to critical analysis. Therefore, we consider it is relevant to determine the ratio of traditional and innovative values in the dynamics of changes caused by the conditions of globalization in modern research. The theoretical analysis used dialectical, comparative-historical, structural-functional, deductive, and inductive methods of analysis. The main purpose of this article is the political science systematization of the principles that determine the direction and content of traditional and innovative values. To achieve the purpose, we set the task of determining the meaning of the proposed principles by arguing the essence of the concepts of traditional and innovative values. Fundamentalization, standardization, humanization, democratization, and informatization were adopted as the main principles. In the introduction, we defined the basic concepts of traditional and innovative values and outlined the formulation, purpose, and history of the problem under study. The discussion and results part is divided into 5 subsections, and we have proved the foundations of the principles presented in each subsection. We came to the conclusion that in a society where political modernization and continuous political reforms take place, a social space is being formed where traditional and innovative values coexist.
