Unfortunately, most often we face anti-values. It provokes such negative emotions as pes-simism, disappointment, irritation. They affect human ideals in general and, particularly, nega-tively influence on our young generation. In this situation, it is extremely important to support humanitarian aspect of social life. Today the process of youth education is focused on master-ing competencies. The whole system gives the top priority to the professionalism. However, it is a well-known fact that "professional improvement can"t be substitute for the complex human development process, as these two aspects do not usually go together." We speak about education, which depresses upbringing. Moreover, it is dangerous for a person. Particularly, it is pity to notice that youth upbringing activity as a part of teaching has been excluded from HE teachers" working plans. Following Anton Makarenko ideas, it is worth to say that people create their image all his life. Therefore, we can definitely state that a person should been ed-ucated and increases his culture level all his life as well.
It is important to notice that a principle of culture centricity has become as one of the current trends within the education content and methods modernization process. It supposes development of a humanitarian culture, which should make "the most complicated mechanism of a human soul" (Dmitry Likhachov) to start working through forming the universal value system, establishing positive dialogue as well as through emotional and spiritual development of youth. It is supposed that culture will become the content of pedagogy. Correspondently, the basis for the education content filling includes different texts within certain cultural con-texts as well as different kinds of art, which represent an ideal of a particular historical stage. [Kashekova, 2014] These ideas have a strong potential to become implemented into modern educational process. Culture and arts will help to develop visual and verbal thinking skills, stir creative imagination, get high ground thoughts, arise Beauty in human souls, develop emo-tional culture and an ability to sympathize. What is the power of culture as an educational tool? Philosophical determinations of the "culture content" term give the answer to the mentioned above question.
Among a great number of the "culture" term determinations, we can choose the following: "Culture is a fundamental source for the world recovery which feeds human minds and feel-ings. People can percept the world model and interpret the answers to the main questions in the context of human existence through culture. It lives by its own life. Therefore, it is necessary to safe the culture as we do with a human life. Culture encourages high tension of a spiritual energy, intellectual excellence and human desire to harmonize himself with the environment" [Arnoldov, 2007]. In addition, we can enlarge "culture" tem description and add the follow-ing: culture is a perfect performance. It includes the best examples of morals and aesthetics

of human behavior and deeds. Culture is a filter through which a person percepts the world. Culture phenomenon can be subdivided into the following subgroups: internal, external, spir-itual, political, ecological, artistic, aesthetic, communicative etc. It should be considered as a part of an ideal creation and as an ideal based system in the context of human existence, where an ideal is considered as moral purity and consciousness improvement (Dario Sommer). The ideal is the center of a life sense idea and human spirituality. In the mentioned above context the following words of Fyodor Dostoyevskyi are relevant: both Man and nation cannot exist without the highest idea. The value system is a fundamental basis for a perfect existence. In turn, culture and arts are the most important tools for this. Arts draw our particular attention. We cannot imagine an Excellent Man who lives apart from it. The world-known Canadian culturologist Paul Shafer rightly admitted that studying arts should serve as a basis for general education. Arts "fill people with a spiritual fullness," "teach to express thoughts and feelings through images," form spiritual, moral and aesthetic ideals, emotional culture and a feedback to Beauty and Hatefulness, high art taste and aesthetic perception. Arts reflect advances and a culture level of a particular historical period, dominated aesthetic and artistic preferences and ideals. It can also show preferable examples of possible future.
