Hyperreality of modernity in youth assessments

The article analyzes the risks of hyperreality for the development of a new educational generation. We have determined the specific features of hyperreality relaying the quasi-social into the antisocial of postmodernity. The link between the essence and manifestations of hyperreality and the social well-being of the population is substantiated through the cultivation of consumer models. We have defined the antisocial nature of interactions within the constructed hyperreality, which takes root in the minds of young people, through the mimicry of social connections under the constructs of human alienation. The riskiness of hyperreality lies in its transposition, in the ambivalence of morality, in the amorphous nature of goal setting, in the primacy of personal material preferences over social interests, in cyberterrorism, in the contagiousness and virulence of the content of quasi-leaders of thought, in “value uncertainties” and the rejection of traditional imperatives. We have emphasized the need for socio-philosophical analysis of the essence and features of hyperreality, as well as for creation of mechanisms for its minimization in the conditions of increasing external aggression and existential threats.
