Ln Tolstoy wrote if you. L.n. Tolstoy wrote: “If people interfere with you, then can a person learn to work creatively?”

1. During one of the lessons, an argument broke out. Nikolai argued that man appeared first, and then society. Olga objected to him: a person becomes a person only in society, so first society arose, and then man. What do you think? Give reasons for your point of view.

2. The Roman philosopher Seneca (c. 4 BC - 65 AD) said: “We are born to live together; our society is a vault of stones that would collapse if one did not support the other.” How do you understand this statement? Compare it with the definition of society given in the textbook. Are these characteristics the same? If the modern definition of society differs from that of the ancient philosopher, then what are the differences?

3. L.N. Tolstoy wrote: “If people bother you, then you have no reason to live. Leaving people is suicide." What is the thought in educational text is consistent with this statement of the writer? Why do you think so?

4. Do so-called negative values (rules of behavior in a criminal community, production of pornography, etc.) belong to cultural phenomena? Give reasons for your conclusion.

1.1. We can say that society is a collection of connections between people. Depending on the nature, type and goals, these relationships can be very diverse: family, cultural, economic, political, legal, etc. Society-product joint activities people capable of creating the necessary conditions of existence through their own efforts. Even in a class society, where social conflicts arise, there are objective common interests and goals that require joint efforts aimed at maintaining the unity of opposites.
The personality reproduces the social order while maintaining its individuality. So, society produces people who themselves produce society. From this we can conclude that society is both a condition of human activity and its result.

2.2. The growth, development, education and upbringing of a child, the formation of a person’s personality are possible only in conditions of communication and interaction with other people - parents, educators, and the immediate social environment. No matter how extensive the accumulated experience, no matter how perfect the information carriers, no matter how developed the areas of knowledge, live communication is necessary when transmitting information from one generation to another - the work of an educator, teacher, teacher is necessary.
No matter what heights medicine has reached, no matter how far the diagnosis of diseases has gone, no matter how high-quality medical technology, only an orderly, a nurse, a paramedic, or a doctor can provide real help to a patient.
Even in conditions of detailed elaboration of laws, simplification of legal procedures and utmost clarity regulatory documents people need a specialist who knows all the necessary information and is able to provide assistance in a specific situation - a lawyer, legal adviser, notary, lawyer.
The joint work of people in production, trade, healthcare, education - in any type of activity - will not be effective unless additional efforts are spent on organizing and managing this activity. The need for management professions is obvious - manager, administrator, organizer, dispatcher, work distributor, agent.
The everyday life of society will freeze if there are no sellers, waiters, hairdressers, conductors, cooks, cashiers, ticket takers, service workers, and flight attendants.

3. Man is created to live in society (D. Diderot)
4. Anyone who thinks that he can do without others is very mistaken; but he who thinks that others cannot do without him is even more mistaken (F. La Rochefoucauld)
5. Happiness is when you are understood, when your rights are not violated, when people are all equal, equal before the law.
4. Culture, in the broadest sense, is everything that has been done by humanity: spiritual and material culture. I think that if we understand the term culture in its very in a broad sense, then relate. If we interpret it in a narrower sense, such as spiritual culture, and if we understand by it some generally accepted aspects of it, which we call cultural, then no. It's more of a lack of culture.

Should all people have only one meaning in life, or should each of them have their own? Let's give the floor to defenders of different points of view,

who are usually called opponents. First point of view. All people should have one meaning in life: after all, all people are the same by nature. And the meaning of life is precisely what unites them and distinguishes them from animals. Moreover, if life different people had different, unequal meanings, then each of them would only pull in his own direction, and such people could never understand each other and act together. Second point of view. The fact that all people have common or generic properties does not at all exclude their differences. Each person is a unique being. Therefore, everyone should have their own meaning in life. You can understand another person even without sharing his views. But what forces people to act together is not general meaning life, but mutual benefit. Third point of view. You are both partly right, but only partly, because the meaning of life for different people is both common and different. The belonging of each individual person to the human race, a certain society, nation or class determines that each person has something in common with other people, including the meaning of life. At the same time, since each person is somehow different from all other people, this difference can also manifest itself in his understanding of the meaning of life. What we call the meaning of life, for each person in some ways coincides, and in some ways does not coincide with the meaning of life for other people. Which of the above points of view seems more correct to you? Justify your opinion. Imagine yourself as a participant in a discussion about the meaning of life. What does it mean for you?
