Abstract

The article is devoted to such a complex issue as the development of ideas about civic identity. The topic of approaches to this ideological construction in the 20th century USA, primarily within the framework of school education, is considered. In addition, the review examines the reflection of the most important postulates of American identity in popular culture, which in the general context of the topic acts as an additional, and often even the primary source of forming ideas of the younger generation of Americans about their place in the country, the rights and duties of a citizen. The author proceeds from the fact that the study of the American experience will allow us to understand better the development of ideas about identity in the USA, as well as optimally perceive the best practices of the American education system and mass culture in these areas, at the same time, a critical analysis will allow us to see how negative features have formed in this system at the present stage. It has been proved that today, although the United States remains one of the countries with the highest level of civic consciousness in the field of education and upbringing, new paradigms are being formed that counter to all previous experience and blur the values and ideals that are familiar to many generations of Americans underlying the development of civic identity and patriotism.
