Abstract

Modern trends in the development of the information society, associated with the large-scale spread of the Internet, television and communication technologies, information violence, cyberspace, inevitably format social reality, changing the existential characteristics of modern man. The information model, paradoxically, generates a dangerous model of personal behavior, as knowledge becomes less accessible to a person, but the amount of information that is focused on pragmatism, individualism, fierce competition and hedonism increases very quickly. Following the intensive development of the competitive environment, as well as in connection with the increasing information eclecticism, destructive trends are beginning to gain strength, which are especially clearly manifested in alternative cyberspace, transforming public relations. Inter-regional confrontation and systemic crises destroy the national economies of various States and, in such a difficult situation, an important factor for society is the information culture of the individual, which determines the spiritual and motivational activity of a person. Dehumanization is the result of the dominance of the material (material) world and destructive communication that negatively affects a person's worldview. Spiritual security includes the universals of culture, revealing the object-subject principle of interaction between man and society, which actualizes the Sigma of security, since in the information society there are issues related to information violence and the devaluation of traditional values. And it is obvious that the priority for a universal -minded person is the ability to choose and use information effectively, since public interests in the sphere of spiritual security must be harmoniously combined with the interests of the modern individual. Otherwise, there are dangers, threats that generate dehumanization of society, which actualizes the spiritual security of society, the information culture of the individual and cultural universals.
