Abstract
The national values from students’ point of view are analysed in the article, aiming to answer the questions: which national values are the priority, what does it mean today to be a true representative of the nation, what factors influence students’ expression of national values. Today’s young people are characterized by high flexibility, mobility, adaptability to changing living conditions, constantly changing rules and norms. Every day new technologies are invented, a variety of new information flows promoting more different ideas. Therefore, youth’s understanding of things and their use, attitude toward traditional relationships in society, family change, national values are viewed differently. In the article it is discussed whether globalized trends influenced the value position of respondents, and based on authors of pedagogy the attempt is made to uncover why in such society it is important to preserve the fundamental national values. The answers to these questions are based on the students’ of Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences survey carried out in 2016 and theoretical insights, which justify the importance of national values in modern society and their expression.
