N.G. Chernyshevsky placed a group of "new people" at the center of his revolutionary novel. They are the main characters. However, the emergence and development of this type of people was impossible without the "old people", whose traditions required a radical change.

The "new people" are contrasted with the "old" ones throughout the story. Since they are representatives of the past, Special attention"old people" is given in the first chapters, when the worldview of a new type of people is just emerging and being formed.

The conflict between new and old people is not really a conflict between "fathers" and "children". This is a conflict on a social basis, a conflict of worldviews related to the understanding of life. Types clash in understanding what the future should be. If the "new people", to which it refers, strive for a "bright and beautiful" future, then the old generation does not strive for change, its representatives are satisfied with an inert lifestyle.

"Old people" care only about themselves and their own good, they are ready to go to any lengths for their own benefit. The "new" people, on the other hand, think about the welfare of the people and strive for equality and freedom.

The following main characters belong to the type of people who do not want changes or do not even think about them: Vera Pavlovna's mother, the Storeshnikov family.

Marya Alekseevna is the actual head of the Rozalsky family. She oppresses not only servants, but also her husband and children. She is evil and lives according to the old traditions, when the marriage was arranged. Vera rebels against her mother because she wants her family to be built on the basis of love.

And if Marya Alekseevna understands that the time has come for a change, then Storeshnikov, to whom Vera's mother tried to marry her, lives idly and does not think about the possibility of another life, because everything suits him. Storeshnikov is a typical representative of the secular society that reigned at that time. For him and for his family, money and social status were important. Storeshnikov does not know how to take responsibility for his own words and actions. The author shows him pathetic and spineless. In the image of Storeshnikov, the writer showed that the conflict described in the novel is not a conflict of generations. "Old people" can also be young people of the same age as the "new people". Their difference lies in ideas and beliefs.

N.G. Chernyshevsky shows the generation of "old people" as people who are not able to fight for their own views. It is not surprising that revolutionary sentiments arise against the backdrop of this vulgar world. "Old people" are people of the past, so the author pays attention to their images only at the beginning of the story. Then, without any struggle, they are replaced by people of a new worldview, who were supposed to grow up to the level of the "special person", which was Rakhmetov.

Thus, Nikolai Gavrilovich Chernyshevsky in the novel What Is To Be Done? raised the most important issues of that time and showed the vulgar world against which people with revolutionary views appear.

Each person is endowed with a unique, own character from birth. A child can inherit individual traits from his parents, some show them to a greater extent, and some do not look like any of the family members at all. But character is not the behavior of parents projected onto the child, it is a more complex mental phenomenon. The list of positives is very long. In the article we will try to highlight the main character traits.

human?

Translated from Greek the word "character" means " distinguishing feature, sign". Depending on the type of their psychological organization, people find their soul mates, build relationships, build their whole lives. A person's character is a unique set of mental characteristics, personality traits that play a decisive role in various aspects of a person's life and are manifested through his activity.

To understand the character of an individual, it is necessary to massively analyze his actions. Judgments about character can be very subjective, because not every person acts the way his heart tells him. However, it is possible to identify individual stable character traits by studying behavior for a long time. If a person in different situations makes the same decision, draws similar conclusions and shows a similar reaction, then this indicates that he has one or another trait. For example, if someone is responsible, then his behavior both at work and at home will meet this criterion. If a person is cheerful by nature, a one-time manifestation of sadness against the background of general positive behavior will not become a separate character trait.

character building

The process of character formation begins in early childhood, in the first social contacts of the child with his parents. For example, excessive love and guardianship can later become the key to a stable characteristic of the human psyche and make him dependent or spoiled. That is why many parents are especially attentive to the upbringing of positive character traits in children. They get pets so that the baby can feel what responsibility is, instruct him to do small chores around the house, teach him to put away his toys and explain that not all desires and whims can be fulfilled.

The next step becomes kindergarten and school. The child already has the main character traits, but at this stage they are still amenable to correction: you can wean a small personality from greed, help get rid of excessive shyness. In the future, as a rule, the formation and change of character traits is possible only when working with a psychologist.

Character or temperament?

Very often these two concepts are confused with each other. Indeed, both character and temperament shape human behavior. But they are fundamentally different in nature. Character is a list of acquired mental properties, while temperament is of biological origin. Having the same temperament, people can have completely different characters.

There are 4 types of temperament: impulsive and unbalanced choleric, unhurried and calm phlegmatic, light and optimistic sanguine and emotionally vulnerable melancholic. At the same time, temperament can restrain certain character traits, and vice versa, character can compensate for temperament.

For example, a phlegmatic person with a good sense of humor will still be stingy with displays of emotion, but this will not prevent him from demonstrating a sense of humor, laughing and having fun in appropriate society.

List of positive qualities of a person

The list of positive and negative qualities of a person is huge. Initially, all definitions regarding the nature and essence of a person, his behavior are subjective. In society, certain norms have been established that make it possible to determine how positive or negative this or that personality trait or its act is. However, there are superior qualities person, demonstrating his virtue and good intentions. Their list looks like this:

• altruism;
• respect for elders;
• kindness;
• fulfillment of promises;
• moral;
• responsibility;
• loyalty;
• perseverance;
• moderation;
• responsiveness;
• honesty;
• sincerity;
• disinterestedness and others.

These qualities, along with their derivatives, constitute the nature of the true beauty of a person's character. They are laid in the family, in the process of upbringing, children copy the behavior of their parents, and therefore a well-educated person will have all these highest qualities.

List of negative qualities of a person

The list of positive and negative qualities of a person can be formed for a long time, since there are a lot of them. Assigning a person the presence of a negative quality of character on the basis of his act or action alone will be fundamentally wrong. You can’t hang labels, even the most well-mannered and can really believe that they are endowed with, say, greed or arrogance. However, if such behavior is a pattern, then the conclusion will be obvious.

The list of negative traits, as well as positive ones, is huge. The most basic and common are as follows:

• lack of will;
• irresponsibility;
• harmfulness;
• greed;
• viciousness;
• deceit;
• hypocrisy;
• hatred;
• selfishness;
• intolerance;
• greed and others.

The presence of such character traits in a person is not a diagnosis, they can and should be dealt with even in adult, conscious age, to correct behavior.

Character traits that manifest themselves in relation to other people

We have formed a list of positive and negative qualities of a person. Now we will talk about character traits that manifest themselves in relation to other people. The fact is that depending on in relation to whom or what a person performs an action or act, a specific individual feature of it is exposed. In society, he can demonstrate the following qualities:

• sociability;
• responsiveness;
• susceptibility to someone else's mood;
• respectfulness;
• arrogance;
• egocentrism;
• coarseness;
• closure and others.

Of course, a lot depends on the conditions in which a person finds himself: even the most open and sociable person may experience problems in communicating with a strict, closed and heartless person. But, as a rule, polite people, endowed with positive qualities, easily adapt in society and suppress their negative traits.

Character traits manifested in work

Building a person's career directly depends on the qualities of his character. Even the most talented and gifted people can fail because they are not responsible enough for their work and their talent. Thus, they only harm themselves and do not give themselves the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Or, on the contrary, there are cases when the lack of talent was more than compensated for by special diligence in work. A responsible and accurate person will always succeed. Here is a list of the main such traits:

• diligence;
• responsibility;
• initiative;
• accuracy;
• slovenliness;
• laziness;
• negligence;
• passivity and others.

These two groups of character traits actively echo each other, since labor activity and communication between people are inseparably linked.

Character traits that manifest themselves in relation to oneself

These are the features that characterize in relation to himself, his self-perception. They look like this:

• feeling of self-worth or superiority;
• honor;
• arrogance;
• self-criticism;
• egocentrism;
• self-love and others.

Character traits that manifest themselves in relation to things

Attitude towards things does not affect the building of a person's social ties, but it demonstrates and reveals the best or unattractive qualities of his nature. These are traits such as:

• accuracy;
• thrift;
• scrupulousness;
• carelessness and others.

Mentality, qualities of a Russian person

Mentality is a very subjective concept, and it is based on stereotypical thinking. However, it cannot be denied that certain features are inherent in a particular nationality. Russian people are famous for their cordiality and hospitality, cheerful disposition. The Russian soul is considered mysterious and incomprehensible all over the world, since Russians do not differ in the rationality and logic of their actions, they are often influenced by their mood.

Another feature of the Russian people is sentimentality. A Russian person instantly takes on the feelings of another and is always ready to share emotions with him, to lend a helping hand. It is impossible not to mention another trait - compassion. Historically, Russia has helped its neighbors on all frontiers of the country, and today only a heartless person will pass by the misfortune of another.

knowledge to a person, if not all, then a lot. Without knowledge, a person would not know his past, would not be aware of the present, and the future for a person would be foggy. Studying is one of the ways to gain knowledge. folk wisdom says: "Live and learn". therefore, it is necessary to take the maximum from life in terms of education, especially now, in youth, when the character and worldview of a person are being formed. this period is the most productive for study. knowledge to a person is the ability to live in society, to find his place in life and, undoubtedly, make life itself more interesting and diverse.

these words, most likely, symbolized the impossibility of turning back time. Eugene rejected the feelings of the young, "simple" Tatyana. and after many years he met her again, but already another - majestic, strong, married. subjected to a momentary impulse, Onegin tries to return Tatyana, but she restrains her feelings, firmly renouncing sin:

I got married. you must, I ask you, leave me; I know: in your heart there is both pride and direct honor. I love you (for what, but I am given to another; I will be faithful to him for a century!

Tatyana admits that her love for Yevgeny has passed through the years, but she clearly understands that it is already too late, she is already a stranger. the lost past cannot be returned.

I believe that it is precisely this meaning that A.S. Pushkin put into these lines.
