Keywords:
Eastern philosophy, Western thought, youth values, cultural identityAbstract
This article examines the dynamic interplay between Eastern philosophical traditions and Western modes of thought in shaping the value systems of contemporary youth. In the context of globalization, cultural integration, and rapid technological advancement, the identity, worldview, and moral orientations of the younger generation are undergoing significant transformation. The research explores how Eastern values such as collectivism, spiritual introspection, and respect for tradition intersect with Western ideals of individualism, rationalism, and liberal democracy. Drawing upon interdisciplinary perspectives from cultural studies, philosophy, and sociology, the study analyzes statistical and empirical data on youth attitudes, ethical preferences, and behavioral patterns across diverse cultural contexts. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of maintaining a balanced cultural identity and proposes integrative strategies for educational and cultural policies that harmonize both paradigms for the sustainable development of youth consciousness in the 21st century.
