An attempt is made to interpret by three interlinked way a problem dividing public opinion, namely the theme of the 'Big Brother of Oszöd'. These approaches are: (1) of the 'sociology of values', (2) a study with the help of the set of concepts of the 'sociological theory of roles', and (3) the analysis utilising the 'model of strategic interaction'. This enterprise leads us to the general sociological critique of the functional quality of our domestic political life, and also tangentially to its structural order in the background. At first the scientific 'road-polygon' of the approach to the problem dividing the society, next with the help of its rigorous programme we attempt the interpretation of this phenomenon gripped by the 'vice of logic' (Max Weber) by 'medium-level sociological theories'. Finally, more of just looking out, a 'politological solution of the problem of hypothetic status' is outlined.
