Journal Title: Вісник Житомирського державного університету імені Івана Франка - Year 2016, Vol 85, Issue 3
Abstract
The word ''patriotism'' has a number of connotations and interpretations which vary from nationalism and militarism to human values and multiculturalism. Differences in the context in which ''patriotism'' is viewed are significant source of friction; therefore this concept should be broached with a great deal of sensitivity. The article lays strong emphasis on the need of rethinking the concept of ''patriotic education'' and developing an effective program of its realization, which are very important in the circumstances of ongoing conflict in the Eastern Ukraine. There are also indicated three important principles on which the program should be based. Firstly, creating conditions for the acceptance ethnic diversity in the country, exploration of different cultural themes, religions, regional specification, pluralism and human rights. Secondly, strengthening the position of Ukrainian language in society, which is bilingual to a large extent, as well as support languages of ethnic minorities that inhabit Ukraine. Thirdly, emphasizing on the role of history and heroic figures in consolidation of society. A new patriotic education should be based on the instances of heroic struggle of the Ukrainian people for independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of state. Thus, the goal of new patriotic education in Ukraine is to motivate youth to think critically, be active citizen, create positive changes in society and resolve contemporary challenges in state.
