Abstract

The system of social management of the mass consciousness cannot ignore the importance of the “cultural” component of the society. With the formation of the “society of knowledge” and the growing infl uence of global trends of development, we observe an inevitable increase of the signifi cance of the problems associated with the cognitive aspects of culture in the processes of creation and use of various social management technologies. For optimal management of the mass consciousness we need specially organized activities related to the sacralisation of values leading to the establishment of social integrity. The dialectical process of sacralisation – desacralisation of basic values and ideals should be seen as an attribute of social management of the mass consciousness. In the depths of the unconscious of a modern human the religion and mythology are “hidden” as the compensation of his “irreligion” determining ways of his existence and, thus, creating the integrity of the human soul. Sociocentric religions in their secular variations are necessary to control the mass consciousness, so we need specially planned and organized social activities related to the sacralisation of basic sociocentric values
