Social and cultural characteristics of generations and their influence on the formation of political culture
Abstract
This study examines the social and cultural characteristics of different generations and their influence on the formation of political culture in society. It analyzes the historical context, socio-economic conditions, and cultural values typical for major generations, as well as their political socialization and forms of political participation. Special attention is given to the role of media consumption and globalization processes in transforming political culture. Three tables are presented illustrating key characteristics of generations, media usage, and cultural changes affecting political identity. The work emphasizes the importance of understanding generational differences for developing effective political strategies and forecasting changes in political culture.
