Investigating the position of youth in the social space and its relationship with contemporary ideals and values

Abstract

The current research seeks to investigate the place of youth in society and its relationship with contemporary ideals and values through the idea of Bourdieu's social space, in order to distance itself from the determinism hidden in classical class thought, and also consider other effective factors such as social relations and culture. have taken In this way, relying on Bourdieu's theory, which seeks economic, cultural and social capital under the social space, we seek to examine the hypothesis that there is a positive relationship between the position of young people in the social space and their relationship with contemporary ideals and values. The aim of the research is to know the type of relationship between social space and contemporary ideals and values among young people. The research method was a survey and the data was collected in the field using a questionnaire. To check the research hypotheses, t-test, one-way analysis of variance, regression and Pearson were used. Contemporary ideals and values in this research are defined as vitality, attachment, and contemporary political values, which are contrary to ideals and values of the modern era, namely equality, solidarity, and justice. The findings of the research in examining the main hypothesis according to the values (sig=./...) and (R=./332) indicate that there is a positive relationship between the position of young people in the social space and contemporary ideals and values.
