The article deals with the phenomenon of informational "littering" of the socio-cultural space, which arises under the influence of Western manipulative technologies and false ideological concepts. The author analyzes the way the introduction of artificially constructed "foreign elements" into the information and cultural ecosystem of society creates prerequisites for its degradation. Special attention is paid to the criticism of the so-called "ethics of care" created by the American psychologist Carol Gilligan, who, according to the author, has become one of the generators of pseudo-moral "garbage" in modern Western society. The author analyzes the consequences of abandoning the traditional "golden rule" of morality, and the principles of justice and transcendence in ethics, and instead turning caring into an end in itself in human relations. The conclusion is made that this leads to egocentrism and selective morality. The article also analyzes the place of caring in moral consciousness from the standpoint of L. Kohlberg's theory, noting that hypertrophied care without reliance on justice can lead to socially manipulative effects and degradation of social relations. The author concludes that such theories, rejecting universal moral principles, contribute to the spread of information "noise" and the dehumanization of the socio-cultural space.
