Abstract

The crisis phenomena in modern society are, to a considerable degree, conditioned by the excess of imitation in many spheres of social activity. Such interconnected activities as social-innovative and educational ones are also not free from imitation. The objective of this article is to reveal the imitational component in modern society and show the possibilities of social design as a new developing approach to social planning and education. The social design is considered to be the means of overcoming imitation and ensuring the innovative development.
