Ch’alla is a libation, a sacrifice practiced in Andean Bolivia on various occasions. In respect to this libation, people classify themselves and others according to a particular world view. Language and culture appear to be entangled inextricably. Thus language opens a possibility to understand a respective worldview and provides particular insights about its culture. This cultural perspective is shaped through socialization, religious convictions, norms and prevalent values. Michael Bamberg’s positioning concept offers a way to record and analyze such a cultural perspective. ‘Positioning’ describes the phenomenon of how persons position themselves in a talk and how they are categorized by others due to this specific perspective.

The aim of this study was to verify whether students in different cultures (with assumed distinct degrees of individualism-collectivism) anticipate their emotions in relation to loss differently and whether there are differences between anticipating one's emotions at losing small versus large sums of money in each sample. Three samples of university students (181 in Slovakia, 126 in Poland and 103 in Bolivia), mean age 21-22 years, were studied. No gender differences were found in any of the samples. Slovak and Polish students expressed anticipated loss aversion for greater sums of money and reversed loss aversion for small sums of money. Bolivian students showed no anticipated loss aversion either for small or large sums of money. Neither sample showed a relation between anticipated loss aversion and individualism-collectivism. Loss aversion in risky choices was observed in all samples; however, more students from Bolivia were willing to accept a greater financial loss than Slovak and Polish students. Higher individualism correlated with lower level of loss aversion in risky choices in the Slovak and Polish samples. The limits of the study are discussed in conclusion.

The article ponders over the environmental paradoxes of the Bolivian political project. The government of Morales aspires to establish a system based on social justice, environmentally conscious politics and the respect for the indigenous populations of the country. The new Political Constitution was adopted that guarantees the political, cultural and territorial rights of the indigenous groups and delineates a well-developed framework of the environmental protection. As one of the first states of the world Bolivia admitted the legal status of nature and adopted „Law of Mother Earth“. However, to these legislative measures contrasts sharply the economic strategy of the country, based almost exclusively on mining, industrialization and commercialization of the natural resources. The government of Morales intensified the mining of the fossil fuels and prepares the way for a gigantic project of mining and processing of lithium on the Bolivian salt flats. Socio-ecological consequences of these activities might be catastrophic. We think that the ambivalent environmental attitude of the government of Morales is caused, primarily, by its effort to match up two inconsistent principles: on the one hand the anthropocentric concept of economic growth, modernity and progress and on the other the indigenous concept of „good life“ that became the official moral-ethical principle of the Bolivian state.
