What
is spirituality?
В настоящее время активно обсуждается вопрос
о выборе человека наиболее важных для него вещей. Его нравственные и
общественные идеалы постоянно находят отражение в его поступках, оказывают
непосредственное влияние на формирование личностного мнения человека.
Актуальность данной
работы заключается в том, что порождение мнения человека о чем–либо
становится неотъемлемой частью повседневной жизни, будь то даже выбор, что
выпить с утра: кофе или чай. Но нас интересует выбор, связанный с глобальной
тематикой – выбор духовного или материального.
Цель исследования:
вынести на обсуждение вопрос выбора человека; воссоздать панораму важности
духовной и материальной составляющей; доказать, что духовное развитие личности
намного важнее для каждого человека.
Задачи работы:
сбор материалов по выбранной теме; обработка полученных материалов;
формирование и обобществление знаний и мнений по данному вопросу. Кроме того,
воплотить самостоятельную творческую идею в виде конкретного примера для
обозрения.
Гипотеза – духовное
развитие личности намного важнее материального блага.
Практическая значимость:
данная работа имеет как теоретическое, так и практическое значение: ее
результаты могут широко использоваться, как на уроках английского языка, так и
на элективных и факультативных курсах. Она способствует возбуждению интереса к
исследовательской деятельности школьников и, в частности, творчества на
английском языке. В качестве литературы были взяты ресурсы Интернет-сайтов,
учебник английского языка М.З. Биболетовой, учебник обществознания Л.Н.
Боголюбова и личный опыт.
The
term spirituality lacks a definitive definition, although
social scientists have defined spirituality as the search for "the sacred," where "the sacred" is broadly defined as
that which is set apart from the ordinary and worthy of veneration.
The use of the term "spirituality" has changed
throughout the ages. In modern
times spirituality is often separated from religion, and connotes a blend of humanistic psychology with mystical and esoteric
traditions and eastern religions aimed at personal well-being and personal development.
Spirituality
is one of the most difficult concepts on the Earth. It is written and said a
lot, but no one is sure that definition has been given clearly enough and if
it is necessary for a man. To form a complete understanding of spirituality it
doesn’t need many stereotypes and contradictions.
Spirituality
is implemented in man by the knowledge of God, Good and Evil, life in a
society, its destiny, and all that relates to human interaction with the higher
forces, himself and the surrounding world. This knowledge defines the greater
part of the main manifestations of a man (thinking, psycho-emotional sphere,
behavior, way of life), his individual features, the attitude of other people
to him, the ability or inability to any significant achievements and so on.

The
choice of a man: a spiritual development or material things
No one person, place or thing in this life
is constant perfection. There is ebb and flow, give and t In ancient times,
when humans lived in small, manageable communities, staying in the same place
for generations, there was more support for the spirit and the spiritual.
Spiritual leaders, the psychically gifted
and those with metaphysical knowledge were honored by the community. These
special community members acted as advisers, healers and intermediaries between
the people and the spiritual realms. In return they were supported with food,
clothing, shelter and love. But those days and those community ties no longer
exist for most of us. Thus it follows that we HAVE to be concerned with our own
finances and how to get what we need in this world. The challenge is to learn
to balance this with our spiritual development and spiritual outlook, without
losing our focus and becoming myopically fixed on the “prosperity” issue.
In the past faith played a central role in people's daily lives.
But the situation is quite different today. A lot of people never attend
religious services of any kind and some of them say they have no religion at
all. But what could have brought about such a dramatic break from tradition and
how can it influence our way of life?
It
is interesting what role faith plays in our lives. In my opinion, faith can help
people cope with difficult emotions or moral decisions. When everything goes
wrong and you feel extremely unhappy, faith can help. I think that a person who
believes in God has courage, hope, confidence, calmness and assuring trust that
all will come out well. Faith helps people overcome all difficulties and remain
optimistic whatever happens.
Unfortunately, scientific advances have made many people question
their religious beliefs. The terrible events of the 20th century have also made
others question the existence of God. A lot of people say that science is more
important than religion because it tries to solve the problems connected with
reducing pollution, protecting biological diversity, saving energy and natural
recourses and many others. But if we want to resolve the global crisis and to
improve our cultural, social, economic and political systems, we need faith and
spirituality.

Elements
of the spiritual life of the society.
The
main elements of the spiritual life of the society can be attributed spiritual
needs of people, aimed at the creation and consumption of the respective
spiritual values, as well as the spiritual values, as well as the spiritual
activities of their creation and the whole spiritual production. The elements
of the spiritual life should include also the spiritual consumption as
consumption of spiritual values and spiritual relationships between people, as
well as the manifestations of their interpersonal communion.
5
Spiritual activity.
The Foundation of spiritual life of a society is a spiritual activity.
It can be considered as activities of the consciousness, in the process of
which there are certain thoughts and feelings of the people, their images and
ideas about the natural and social phenomena. The result of this activity are
certain people's views on the world, scientific ideas and theories, moral,
aesthetic and religious beliefs. They are embodied in the moral principles and
standards of conduct, works of folk and professional art, religious rites,
rituals, etc.
All these take the form and the meaning of the relevant spiritual values, as
who can speak to those or other people's perspectives, scientific ideas,
hypotheses and theories, works of art, moral and religious consciousness,
finally, the very spiritual communication between people and arising out of the
moral-psychological climate, say, in the family, manufacturing and other team,
in inter-ethnic communication and in society as a whole.

Spiritual
production
SPIRITUAL
PRODUCTION - activity that provides the formation of consciousness, the most
important condition of human communication and interaction between individuals.
If
the material production is aimed at the production of material goods, the
spiritual activity, spiritual production is aimed at the production of
spiritual values, improvement of consciousness.
7
Spiritual
culture
Spiritual
culture in contrast to the material is not in things. The scope of its
existence, but not the things perfect work, connected with the intellect,
emotions, feelings.
The
perfect form of existence of culture does not depend on the individual human
opinions. This is scientific knowledge, language, the established norms of
morality and law, etc. Sometimes this category includes the activities of the
education and communication media.
Integrating
forms of spiritual culture connect the disparate elements of public and
personal consciousness in the whole world-view. At the first stages of human
development a regulatory and uniting form were myths. In modern times its place
was taken by religion, philosophy and to some extent- art.
Subjective
spirituality is a refraction of objective forms in the individual consciousness
of each individual. In this respect we can speak about the culture of the
individual (its knowledge, the capacity for moral choice, religious feelings,
the culture of behavior, etc.).
Connection
of spiritual and material forms, common space of culture as a complex system of
interrelated elements constantly penetrate into each other. So spiritual
culture of the ideas, ideas of an artist or a writer can be embodied in material
things - books or sculptures or pictures. Reading books or looking at the
pictures you can feel transition from material things to knowledge, emotions,
feelings.
The
quality of each of these elements, as well as the close connection between them
determines the level of moral, aesthetic, intellectual, and in the end -
cultural development of any society.
8
Material
culture
Material
culture usually refers to artificially created objects, which allow people to
adapt the natural and social conditions of life better.
Objects
of material culture are different and therefore they are considered to be
values for most people. Speaking about the material culture of one or another
man we traditionally have in mind such specific items as clothing, weapons,
utensils, food, decorations, the unit dwelling, architectural structures.
Nowadays people can't imagine their lives without different
technical devices. Every day we use computers, laptops, mobile phones, i-Pods,
digital tape recorders and so on.
Many people feel ill
at ease without their laptop computers or GPS navigation systems.
Technology facilitates our lives and saves our time. Computers
help us do the most difficult sums and investigate complicated data. People do
business, communicate and do the shopping via the Internet. It is much easier
to do housework nowadays, thanks to electric equipment such as microwave ovens,
washing machines and so on.
Most people prefer a technological way of life to a
natural one, though it has a number of disadvantages and costs a lot of money.
But modern society can't do without
progress and technology.
Great question.
Majority of the world currently focuses on satisfy our material desires,
(Food, Sex, Family, Money, Honor, Power, Knowledge, etc). However, there is a
growing percentage of humanity that desires Spiritual Fulfillment. These
people are at the top of the pyramid of development so to speak. However, this
desire for Spirituality will eventually spread throughout the whole of
Humanity until Spirituality will become the dominating desire within Humanity.
The quest
for money…the urge to master manifestation and spiritual thinking in order to
create material prosperity

Conclusion
Spiritual development and
the false values represent aspiration to material benefits. The
understanding of these levels is extremely necessary for people to define an
orientation of evolution of the person, level of his spiritual development, to
estimate oneself, the forces and to find the place in life to put more
difficult, but the real purposes and tasks, and to answer a set of other
questions. Obtaining force is subordinated to universal laws, but it can be
light or dark that is defined by the realized purposes and methods. Good and
evil distinction – one of key questions of all world religions and the majority
of spiritual schools, it defines a choice of a way of development.
People need to change their attitudes, values and beliefs. Faith
can help us become kinder, more generous and responsible. Let’s believe that
it will make our lives much happier.
