The author concentrates on the preference of the values of "the cult of the body" increasingly affecting the behaviour of young people and their position in the value system relating to generally recognized values. Too much emphasis on physical beauty and outward appearance significantly determines behaviour and can lead to a reduction in values relating to the body and body shape but also to unhealthy eating disorders such as bulimia or anorexia nervosa. The focus is on the pathological perception of the body, on how culture and cultural norms affect body dissatisfaction. A research questionnaire on universal values and the cult of the body (2006) was used. The research sample consisted of 508 respondents aged between 18 and 26 (292 women and 216 men).

W dobie ponowoczesności świadomość religijna i etyczna społeczeństw ulega dewaluacji. Jesteśmy świadkami odchodzenia od religijności i negowania jej wartości. Religijność zastępowana jest „metafizycznym”, sakralizowanym konsumpcjonizmem i kultem ciała, które postrzegane są jako krótsza droga do nieba. W odpowiedzi na upadek tradycyjnych wartości pojawia się nowa forma duchowości. Opiera się ona na dystansie, odrzuceniu i wyjściu poza pusty i kompulsywny konsumpcjonizm. Dzięki temu jednostka jest w stanie odzyskać samostanowienie i własne człowieczeństwo.

In the age of post-modernity the religious and ethical awareness of societies are undergoing devaluation. We are witnessing walking away from religiosity and the denial of its values. Religiosity is replaced with “metaphysical” sacralised consumerism and the worship of the body, which are seen as a shorter route to heaven. As the response to the fall of traditional values, a new form of spirituality is emerging. It is based on distance, rejection and going beyond empty and compulsive consumerism. Thanks to that an individual is able to regain self-determination and one’s own humanity.
