An important question for everyone is the behavioral status of the victim ("no one loves me", "no one helps", "no one supports me", "no one cares about me") - why is it in trends today? Politically and civilizationally, the phenomenon of the historical victim is relevant: how did it arise and why did it become established not only as a historical, but also as a cultural universal? These and other questions were raised and revealed in the lecture, which was gladly joined by the teachers of the Department of Philosophy, Sociology and Management of Sociocultural Activities and postgraduate students of different years of study of the ESP 033 Philosophy. Violetta Svitlytska, Lyudmila Gorodnyuk, Maryna Arapaki, Inna Fedorova and Ihor Usatyuk took an active part in the discussion.
