This article examines institutional mechanisms for protecting young people’s cultural thinking from various threats in the context of globalization and the digital environment. It substantiates the importance of cooperation among families, mahallas, educational institutions, libraries and information-resource centers, cultural and arts institutions, mass media, and organizations working with youth in shaping and protecting young people’s cultural thinking. The article proposes an institutional model based on the principle of “specific threat + appropriate institution + targeted mechanism + measurable outcome.” It also examines the integration of diagnostic, preventive, monitoring, and corrective-intervention functions into a unified system.
