Abstract

Abstract. The article discloses the organic interrelationship of globalization processes, mass culture
phenomena, social morality, and the peculiarities of law enforcement activities through mass culture, in TV
series. The author outlines a wide range of questions devoted to the interaction of various spheres of a
person's spiritual life (social morality, law, law enforcement, art), which has great variability, is represented
by a wide palette of subject forms, reflects the current social reality and at the same time constructs it.
Cultural and semiotic methodological approaches assisted in carrying out an analysis of modern series on
law enforcement officers to find in them the transmission of the main moral values of Western European
society, which include humanism, equality, tolerance, and inclusion. Special attention is paid to analyzing

the sociocultural context within which modern mass culture exists (globalization, the spread of democracy,
unification and standardization of life, compression of time, significant information flow, clip type of thinking,
etc.). The article shows that the spread of mass culture is due to the development of technologies and a
change in the type of communication: from verbal-written to audiovisual (which only confirms the
fundamental importance of sight and visual metaphor within European culture). The article focuses on the
fact that modern series about the work of law enforcement officers reflect the realities of modern Western
European society, which overcomes the fear of the other with the help of the affirmation of moral values
and their legal support; recognizes equality both in the field of opportunities and in the field of responsibility;
forms and approves new gender and social models of behavior, keeping the values of individualism and
person-centeredness effective; recognizes the special role of civil society institutions in monitoring the
activities of state bodies, including law enforcement. Due to the rapid development of technologies and
accessibility, the series as a screen form performs an informative function, introducing the viewer to basic
social, moral, and legal values.
Keywords: law enforcement morality; moral values; democracy; globalization; police; law enforcement
officer; human rights;, tolerance; gender; law; mass culture; series; civil society.
