32. YOUTH CULTURE
One of the subcultures is youth culture.
This culture is formed on the basis of specific social and psychological traits, the presence of which is determined both by the age characteristics of young people and by their socioeconomic status.
Young people form their own specific style of behavior, expressed in clothes, a certain language of communication, etc.
Youth culture is one of the consequences of the process of socialization. Its socio-psychological origins are in the desire of young people for self-affirmation, self-expression and self-realization.
In Western literature, the origins of youth culture are often considered in the light of the theory of generational conflict, fathers and children.
Youth culture is usually created by the youth themselves. Young people are also its carriers. In terms of its level, youth culture is often not very high. Youth culture, to one degree or another, opposes itself to official, mass culture and, to some extent, high culture.
But youth culture often goes beyond what is created by the youth themselves, and includes a culture specifically created for young people, including mass culture.
A significant part of the modern cultural industry is focused on meeting the needs and tastes of young people. This is especially true for leisure and entertainment, fashion, the production of clothing, shoes, jewelry, cosmetics, etc.
The main types and forms of youth culture conditioned by the world of feelings and emotions. The central place in it is occupied by music, it has the strongest emotional impact.
At various times, such genres as jazz, reggae, disco, rap, rock and pop music have gained particular popularity.
Elements of youth culture slang (jargon), clothing, overall appearance, manners of behavior, ways of entertainment, etc. also appear. All elements of youth culture carry a symbolic meaning, they mean the commonality and unity of the bearers of culture and emphasize its isolation from the general culture and isolation from it .
Youth culture is heterogeneous, it covers various groups of young people - students, creative, working, rural, various kinds of outcasts, etc.
Youth culture breaks down into many groups and movements. At different times, leading positions in youth culture were occupied by hippies, punks, rockers, etc.
At certain historical stages, youth culture can take the form of a counter-culture that is in opposition to the dominant culture.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven
09.05.2024
Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>
