Abstract: Extremism in the youth environment, the reasons for its occurrence, peculiarities of functioning, social and cultural consequences are now scientifically and practically, an urgent problem. In this context, the main causes of radical and extremist attitudes among young people are analyzed, which is associated with socio-economic changes that negatively affect the traditional cultural, spiritual values, customs and traditions of people, giving rise to corresponding contradictions. Aggravating contradictions lead to social, political, ideological, religious conflicts sometimes with tragic consequences. The result of these events, in our opinion, is the emergence of extremist sentiments among young people, often guided by the search for alternative values and heroic plots in the past. The modern integration process is closely linked to the intensification of economic competition in the labor market and the massive impact on the youth of social tension, negative information produced by Internet resources. Often, the actions of young people manifest archaic forms of violence, they openly try to defy modern civilization, the values of liberalism, a mass consumer society. Popular culture also makes an active contribution to the creation and dissemination of radical extremist behavioral patterns among young people. The overall positive socio-psychological attitude, the formation of confidence in the future, the development of self-awareness, including legal awareness, the preservation of the continuity of traditions in society, taking into account innovations, is important for counteracting and preventing extremism. Behavioral attitudes based on traditional moral-humanistic religious values contain significant potential for countering extremist manifestations, rejected at a deep ethnocultural level.
