The Legal Aspect of the Dynamics of the Crimean Youth Value Orientations in the Context of the Current Environmental Situation in the Region

The article suggests some options to solving the environmental problem through the formation of ecological consciousness of contemporary framework, based on the changes, primarily value orientations, from the position of consumer relations to nature to partnership positions with it. A person, social group or society in general, through the realization of the importance of the objects of the surrounding world, find themselves, create their own moral values, principles, norms, ideals, goals, and, thus, their practical attitude towards the world. Only taking nature as inherent value people may form environmental awareness. It includes the perception of nature as equal with the man, awareness of limited resources, the value of life, the need for its preservation, awareness of environmental crisis, especially as public and global crisis, the need to develop nature protection, environmentally oriented development strategy as a prerequisite for the preservation of life on the Earth. The nature as an inherent value becomes noticeable in the era of postmodern and this perception with the values of self-fulfilment of the man, his creative development, freedom and, consequently, favourable environmental space, when the problem of physical survival, is no longer relevant. The formation of ecological consciousness is especially relevant for youth as the most dynamic part of the society. The article compares the polls of 2006 and 2016, which dealt with the value orientations of the Crimean youth. As a result, it was found that the Crimean youth is dominated by human environmental presentation, and opportunities to improve the environmental conditions associated more with the position of non-interference, rather than with any activity, based on skillful application of domestic environmental and natural resource law. This indicates that nowadays the most acute issue is raising contemporary ecological awareness, which can fully take into account the achievements of modern environmental and legal philosophy, environmental ethics, environmental psychology and pedagogy, science, environmental and natural resource law. This requires special training, involvement of young people into environmental stocks, special courses in universities and special subjects in schools. The whole system of education in general must be environmentally oriented, relying on a solid foundation of modernized environmental and natural resource law.
