Abstract

The article deals with the stable senses and semantic nuances that are in the domestic information space and serve as latent ways of conducting modern information wars, as they negatively effect on the processes of social adaptation of modern youth. Features of semantic mechanisms that create a kind of barriers for the appeal of some young people to information and analytics, which explain the policy of the current government, are analyzed in the article (this is the vagueness of the term “propaganda” and transfer of values). Fashion in the information space pseudo creative techniques of attracting the audience are also considered in the article. These are “unbalanced news” that influences the moral and intellectual climate in society, as well as the exploitation of the intention “everything is bad”, which creates anxiety in the perceptions of some young people, disbelief in their own successes, negative perceptions about the country and its future. Mass development of understanding skills in the field of social communication, especially young people, is, according to the author, the important condition main condition for successful processes of socialization and adaptation of modern youth, its ability to resist “meaningful projectiles” of modern information wars.
Keywords:
