Science and technology are developing with a great momentum. The century has made the physical and social distances between humans well passed by the influence of globalization from the previous century. In such an age in which everyone is aware of everything, not only the positive developments, but all kinds of knowledge, beliefs and actions that may be negative to mankind, can instantly spread and spread throughout the world. It is worrying, for example, the adoption of attitudes and behaviors that do not match human values, such as consumption, selfishness, selfishness, demonstration, pride, humiliation, laughing, especially among young people. It is a fact that the generation Z, born in the arm of technology, is unprotected against technology and more open to its damage. In today’s world, which is also called the age of technology and information, young people can also be exposed to all kinds of written and visual information pollution through the internet. In addition, this situation prepares the ground for the development of negative attitudes and behaviors in young people, such as time and energy waste, consumption habits, addiction, deviation from values, alienation, affiliation problem, insatisfaction. Therefore, the age we are in pollutes young people not only mentally, but also mentally. The invoice that the material and spiritual dimension of a person cannot be satisfied in a healthy and adequate manner must be paid not only by the individual, but also by the societies. Therefore, the education of the newly-adult generation is a duty on educators, civil society organizations and the whole society, primarily the family. One of the first and most important steps to take in order to protect the young people from all this disturbance and to ensure their participation in society as a healthy individual is, without a doubt, to grow up as their values. For values are the prerequisite for a young man to be personal, moral, responsible, sensitive to others and his surroundings, a adult who has discovered his own meaning and importance in the world. Thus, the knowledge of the spiritual-human values that young people have, which are the guarantee of the future, can give adults an idea of being able to predict and take the necessary measures for today and for the future. The aim of this study is to identify the spiritual-human values that high school youth have. The research was conducted in the province of Sinop in the 2019-2020 educational year with a total of 450 students studying in different kinds of high schools. The research data collected by survey and scale methods from the Nicel research methods were studied by age, gender, class, economic status, success perception, family structure, family attitude perception, social media use time and social media use purpose variables. The study found that students received the highest score average (4.28) from spiritual values and the lowest score average (3.19) from respect. A positive correlation has emerged between all dimensions of the spiritual-human values tendency scale. In the analysis of the non-normal distribution scale, non-parametric tests were used by Mann Witney U-Test and Kruskal Wallis H-Test. According to the results of the test, there was no meaningful relationship between the spiritual values, which are the subdimensions of the scale, the love, respect and sensitivity score average and the gender, age, success perception, family attitude perception, social media use time and social media use purpose variables p>0.05. But the tendency of the spiritual values of the sample group has a meaningful relationship between the score average and the school type, mother education and father education; the love value score average and the school type variable; the respect value score average and the class, school type, the economic situation perceived and mother education; the sensitivity value score average and the family structure variable (p<0.05).
