Abstract
The article attempts to create a paradigm of specific actions, allowing, using modern methods of analysis and scientific explanation to determine meanings and reference points of different events, to offer systems for social activities, to identify the causes that determine these or other negative processes and phenomena, to find ways to eliminate them, to support innovation, to form an effective model of government and civil society, market economy and the rule of law. Under this approach the definition of «the civilizational code» is analyzed,and also the place and rolego of major factors in the company systemis determined. Among them are the geographical areas, the meaning of life, values, historical memory, customs and traditions, national idea, the mentality, worldview, ideology. It is proposed a specific mechanism of social influence on the development of civilization values, formation, attitudes, ideas, ideals, interests, beliefs and norms of Belarusian society.
