At the core of the transformation of subjectivity is the process of identifying himself/herself with others as well as the world. The first condition is the awareness of own "I", based on identifying with culture, religion, profession, community, nation, state etc. The social and cultural phenomenon of subjectivity needs the attention of the scientific community. Studying of the cultural potential of subjectivity and its behavioural activity is naturally important for creating effective cultural practices.
