The aim of this paper is to structurize the concept of KINDNESS representing a part of the British value system. The research is conducted on the basis of media texts evincing the most dynamic source of creating and developing social values.The analysis of language facts proves that the given value concept represents a complicated structure including nominative, informational and interpretative fields.The nominative field is represented by the basic lexeme kindness and its synonyms. Semantic components acting as cognitive features of the concept KINDNESS form its informational field, namely in the British media texts.Special attention is focused on the analysis of the interpretative field that consists of several spheres, among which most axiologically explicant stand out the utilitarian and evaluative spheres. The cognitive features of the utilitarian sphere of the concept are associated with the peculiarities of manifestation and goal-setting of kindness, while the evaluative sphere is determined by combinatory facilities of the lexeme kindness.
