Composition “Article in the newspaper”


Hardly anyone will argue with the simple fact that the level of culture in our society is rapidly falling. It is enough to watch TV, read popular magazines and newspapers, see the “masterpieces” of contemporary art in order to come to a sad conclusion: the democratization of society, which inevitably involves the democratization of culture, in fact leads to spiritual impoverishment of people. Of course, we have good writers, directors, artists, but there are very few of them and they all say that culture is dying, that its creators do not have an “environment”, because society as a whole seems to have forgotten about all eternal values, limited only to cares about how to quickly make money, and then – to live in pleasure. As much as possible to earn to spend as much as possible! Alas, so now lives – or, at least, strives to live – the overwhelming majority of Russian people. The freedom that we aspired to for many has turned into an unbearable

burden: people are too accustomed to being ruled, and lost in an atmosphere of lack of spirituality, cynicism, uncertainty about tomorrow, unrestrained pursuit of dollars. Other members of our society – the so-called “new Russians”, on the contrary, feel quite comfortable in the current situation, when, with a certain skill and sleight of hand, you can catch fish with impunity in muddy water! Mass art (that is, empty, purely entertaining films, books, etc.) imposes on us stereotypes of behavior that are profoundly alien to our national character, way of life, attitude, and if in this motley whirlwind something real that is not calculated for commercial success flashes, then the main tone of this work is tragic, for we are present at the death of our culture. What to hope for? On the youth? I want to believe that in her environment there are honest and serious young men and women who are concerned about the future of Russia and the fate of its eternal values. I want to believe that not all our young people belong to the generation that “chooses Pepsi” and loses face, personality, history and culture!
