Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the aggravation of spiritual and moral problems on a global scale. The author aims to identify the most acute problems, determine the geography of their spread and assess the degree of threat they pose to modern society. The study identified key challenges, including the loss of traditional values, the crisis of the family institution, the growth of aggression in society, information disorientation, and the erosion of national identity. The research methodology is based on an interdisciplinary approach that combines system analysis, sociological research, cultural analysis, and analysis of modern public opinion data. Special attention is paid to the influence of the following factors on society’s value orientations: globalization processes, digital transformation, and social inequality. The results of the study demonstrate the need to develop comprehensive measures to preserve the spiritual balance of society and the formation of sustainable models of moral behavior in modern socio-cultural conditions.
