The aim of the article is to present selected areas of social functioning of consecutive generations of young people who entered adulthood after 1990. I will be most interested in the relationship between a realm of objective social facts, represented by economic factors -especially concerning labour market, and the area of social relationship in the family and between young people comprising communication, spending time together and satisfaction with the relationship. I will try to prove the thesis that intergenerational relationships within a family are shaped completely differently from corresponding relationships in the public sphere. Going forward I would like to show that while in the family inside there is a progressive consensus, cooperation and rapprochement of generations of children and parents, in public sphere (primarily involving education, but politics as well) the issues of mutual communication, defining priorities and forms of discourse are to large extent a problematic area.

The paper focuses on issues of the influence regulation in organizational teams. Lewin's Field Theory (1951) and Kozusznik's deinfluentization (DEI) concept (Kożusznik, 1996, 2005) serve as a theoretical basis for the explanation of influence regulation. The aim of our research is to present how the gener- ational affiliation differentiate the perception of the influence in the organizational teams. The sample consist of 975 employees from 250 randomly selected Polish organizations in various industries. Results of statistical analysis confirmed differences in the location of the influence source between employees of different ages. The diagnosis of generational differences in influence perception might be helpful for managing employees in mixed-age teams.

A light-hearted lecture in the text of Metaphysics: Two chapters 7 and 8 of Book 7 in Metaphysics contain notes from three lectures on the topic of generation. At the beginning, a couple of remarks are made on the theme of biological procreation, which is taken up again in the repeat lecture summed up in chapter 9. This lecture is given in a light-hearted form, with sometimes frivolous allusions to the matter of sex. If one does not take into account this aspect (as it is usually done), the text becomes unintelligible.

The article attempts to answer the question about the social dimension of the causes and consequences of credit consumption in Poland in recent years. The author aims at sketching possible framework to analyze this phenomenon. He asks whether one can speak in Poland about three faces of consumption for three generations of Poles. A generation, according to Karl Mannheim’s conception, is understood as the effect of common historical experiences shaping the collective consciousness. Referring to publications which describe the value system of Poles in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century (Stanislaw Nowak), the author points out the significant role of two moralities (private and public) and the issue of sensing a sort of a "life block" (including the consumption one) characteristic for the time. Moreover, based on the preliminary empirical determination, he sketches types of modern debtors (not repaying their obligations on time) selected on the basis of attribution factors (internal/external) and moral assessment of their situation. The author closes conducted discussions with the assumption that the generation perspective may be an effective tool to diagnose the discussed issue. The perspective highlights the nuisances which can become the factor typologizing social (and not only demographical) determinants and the effects of a debt phenomenon.

Research background: Entering of generation Y into the job market causes many interesting insights for both researchers, who analyze the specifics of this generation, as well as practitioners of modern organizations' management. Despite some differences in the charac-teristics of generation Y, the authors involved in this issue agree that generation Y is focused on education and development with simultaneous desire to maintain a balance between work and personal life. More often than older generations, they are willing to use the various programs, offered by their company, supporting reconciliation of professional and personal life. Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to present issues concerning the functioning of the representatives of generation Y in the labor market with particular emphasis on the issue of balancing professional work and personal life. Methods: The conducted research aimed to analyze the opinion of representatives of gener-ation Y about the expectations associated with their professional work with special emphasis on creating a balance between work and personal life. In order to obtain answers to the research questions, the methods of diagnostic survey and questionnaire technique were used. To complement the obtained data, the additional qualitative research unstructured interviews were conducted. The researches were conducted in Poland, at one of the technical universities in the Silesian voivodeship. Findings & Value added: Respondents have confirmed the hypothesis that for their genera-tion balance between work and personal life is very important. The collected respondents' opinions showed the image of flexible employment as a good way to reconcile work and other obligations, which gives the ability to have multiple sources of income. It is a good solution especially for young people and people entering the labor market. The results of the conducted interviews pointed to a number of factors which in the opinion of young workers are important values in life and are related to the maintaining work-life balance.

The generational situation of contemporary Polish youth is quite special and is the result of changes both on the macro scale, which include the dominance of the culture of consumer capitalism, the rapid progress of civilisation (mainly the development of communication technologies), globalisation, accession to the EU and on the micro scale – unique, and intense changes in patterns of socialisation. The generational situation of young Poles (born 1990-1997), presumably representing the first cohorts of a new generational group, has three prime components: 1) a societal break with historic roots; 2) the continual, intensive, multi-source, but until now rare, impact of external stimuli; and3) the fact that they live in a world with a variety of addictions and become dependent on them. In my opinion we should in the future observe carefully all the features discussed in this article, because for the first time in many years we have seen clear signs of a completely new quality in the sense of identity of the young generation, not only in their regional incarnations, but also on a global scale.

Pokoleniowa sytuacja współczesnej polskiej młodzieży jest dość szczególna i stanowi efekt zarówno przemian w skali makro, do których wypada zaliczyć dominację kultury konsumpcyjnego kapitalizmu, szybki skok cywilizacyjny (głównie rozwój technologii komunikacyjnych), globalizację, akcesję do UE, jak i mikro – dotychczas niewystępujące w podobnej skali zmiany wzorów socjalizacyjnych. Na pokoleniową sytuację interesujących nas dzisiaj młodych Polaków (roczniki 1990-1997), przypuszczalnie stanowiących pierwsze kohorty nowej grupy pokoleniowej, składają się przede wszystkim trzy elementy: 1) socjalizacyjne „wykorzenienie z historii”; 2) nieustanne poddawanie niespotykanemu dotychczas, intensywnemu, wieloźródłowemu wpływowi bodźców zewnętrznych oraz 3) fakt, że żyje w świecie zróżnicowanych form uzależnień i ulega im. Warto będzie się wskazanym cechom w najbliższych latach uważnie przyglądać, gdyż odnoszę wrażenie, że pierwszy raz od wielu lat obserwujemy wyraźne znamiona zupełnie nowej jakości młodzieżowej pokoleniowości, i to nie tylko w swoich regionalnych wcieleniach, lecz również w wymiarze globalnym.

The generation of the turn of the 20th/21st century is given to live in a new, changing reality. Modern, young generation entering adulthood is brought up in a post-transformation society, dominated by consumption, accelerated pace of life and threats occurring in all spheres of its functioning. In Poland, socio-cultural transformation has become for young adults not only a source of new challenges, opportunities, but also of threats. The consequences of the transformations are difficulties of (especially) the young generation in adapting to the ever-changing, unstable reality. The rapid changes in the surrounding reality have inspired research on the problems of growing up (including risky and harmful behaviours), and the difficulties of a generation growing up in an unstable reality.

Since 1989 Polish youth, as well as all Polish society, experience dynamic changes of economic, cultural and social environment. These changes affect process of generation change and make generation observations quite interesting. The article is composed of several impressions on contemporary Polish young generation group, which I call European searchers. The reader will find characteristics of some features of generation situation in Poland, the influence of the specific socialisation actions between parents and their growing up children, some remarks on the impact of technological revolution and comparison to Generation Y. The last part of the article is devoted to sociological analysis of the sense of generation identity of European Searchers. Analysis, based on the several years of empirical studies leads to conclusions portraying both, the attitudes and appraisals of contemporary young generation and reality of youth environment and culture at the beginning of the new century.

The submitted study traces the beginnings of the historiographical treatment of the issue of the so-called Czechoslovak Revolution from 1914–1918 using the example of the contradictory destinies of two Czech historians – Jaroslav Goll and Jaroslav Werstadt. The main attention is focused on the period shortly after the establishment of Czechoslovakia, in which in the atmosphere of the efforts for a so-called “de-Austrianisation“ (Entösterreichern) a confrontation of the different ideas about the role of historical science in relation to society occurred. Attention is paid not only to both above-mentioned men but also to questions related to the problem of intergenerational relations of the members of the Czech historical community and the circumstances of the Archive of National Liberation (or the Liberation Monument) as an institution entrusted with research of contemporary history with a special focus on the period of the First World War.

The1article adds to Second World War memory research by presenting the outcomes of a recent empirical survey conducted with two generations in the present‑day Czech Republic. One generation lived the majority of their lives under Communism while the second generation was born after the fall of Communism. The analysis revealed an important generational gap in the way the Second World War is remembered and perceived. While the older generation preferred to construct the Second World War rather as a set of home events focused on the traditional „Communist“ narrative of persecution and resistance, the younger generation tended to perceive the Second World War in more abstract, globalized and „western“ terms with the Holocaust as a key element. The article emphasizes a fact important for the present‑day Czech collective identities; this means the tendency of the young generation to perceive the war in abstract terms, but incorporating a home narrative of suffering.

Generacja, transformacja i miejsce w powieściach Ingi Iwasiów Bambino (2008) i Ku słońcu (2010). This paper discusses two novels by contemporary writer Inga Iwasiów (b. 1963), Bambino (2008) and Ku słońcu [Towards the Sun] (2010), in the context of geopolitical, ideological, social and psycho-cultural transformations as they specifically affect different generations of inhabitants of the Polish city of Szczecin (pre-1945 German Stettin) from 1945 until the first decade of the 21st century. Bambino covers the years 1945–1981, but also contains flashbacks to pre-war memory of Stettin and to the suppressed experiences of the new post-war inhabitants, as well as ‘flash-forwards’ to post-1989, post-communist reality; Ku słońcu covers 1981 to the first decade of 2000s. It shows how the novels portray these transformations through the experience primarily of women (but not only) — in Bambino, through the main protagonists: Ula (formerly Ulrike), Anna and Marysia, and through that of the hidden narrator Magda (Marysia’s daughter born in the same year as the author, Iwasiów, 1963); and in Ku słońcu, primarily through the experience of Magda herself, as well as through that of two generations of ‘feminist’ academics: Małgorzata and Sylwia (in which it is hard not to perceive the personal experience of the author, though she is at pains to emphasize elsewhere that her work is a collective biography of the city, not so much of herself). The analysis follows Katarzyna Chmielewska’s supposition that contemporary Polish fiction dealing with the past ‘constantly oscillates between memory and genealogy’, and that it raises raw issues not yet addressed by historians; it also derives inspiration from the new ‘postdependency’ studies proposed by Hanna Gosk and Ryszard Nycz. It also attempts to capture the specific nature of Iwasiów’s use of language, her style of feminism, her method of portraying place, and the connections in her prose between place and memory.

Thirty years after the onset of democratisation in Central and Eastern Europe, the first generations of post-communist societies have been raised, educated and become professionally active. Objectively, they are a specific group of people whose primary and secondary socialisation occurred during a period that differed profoundly from that of their parents and older acquaintances. The article presents the results of a qualitative study conducted among Polish and Ukrainian students to diagnose their subjective generational self-identifications. The aim of the study was to determine whether and how young people in both countries perceive themselves and their social environment, and whether they identify themselves in terms of a unique generation.

The paper is an attempt to analyse the influence of generational differences on social relations and psycho-social atmosphere in the contemporary work environment. The starting point of this analysis is the category of Echo-Boomers, which is how the generation of Millennials (also named Generation Y) is called due to certain qualities that make them similar to Baby Boomers, who were born in the twenty years after World War II. The subject of this analysis are some overlapping areas of both generations regarding value systems, attitudes, as well as cultural practices related to professional activity and balance between work and the private sphere. The purpose of this analysis is to verify the hypothesis that there is a significant similarity between both generations, a generational resonance.

Th e Youth: A Troublesome Sociological CategoryTh e youth is a sociological category which usually causes trouble for the adults due toyoung people’s contestation of the social order and value systems. Young people havealways been among potential and actual revolutionaries. It can be concluded that theyouth constitute some kind of threat to the existing state of society. Young peoplecompete with adults, not only in the sphere of values, but also on the job market forthe best posts and, as a consequence, for positions in the social structure. Since thisis a kind of an emerging category, just entering an adult life, its position has beenusually worse. Th us the youth additionally has to experience (oft en negative) consequencesof social change and its impact for individual biographies of youngsters. Th eyouth also causes trouble as an object of sociological study. Firstly, there are problemshow to determine precisely the scope and content (meaning) of this concept.Secondly, youth research led usually to the conclusions that were quickly challengedby the social practice. Th irdly, there are various ideas how to determine its role insociety. Th e purpose of this paper is to analyze these issues in the context of the socialchanges taking place in the modern globalized society.

The article attempts to trace the discourse of the press about youth from the perspective of twenty years of transition appearing in media communications by „Gazeta Wyborcza”, „Dziennik. Polska-Europa-Świat”, „Tygodnik Powszechny” and „Przegląd Polityczny”. Discursive construction of reality is treated as a social activity. Symbolic activity understood as ways of defining reality for young people, is, in my opinion, a key to try to answer questions about youth identity, position and role in the social world. Analysis were based on eight debates with the participation of young people. The analysis allowed to reconstruct a complete pictures of each debate, which were then presented in the form of graphic diagrams. It helped to restore the views of young people, the world around them, their place in it, subject of their concerns, fears, anxieties, dreams, life goals, values, etc. What is more, that knowledge reveal four collective representation of youth: “Generation ‘68”, “Generation ‘89”, “Generation 2000”, “Generation 2010”: and conditions under which they were created. Analysis are testimony to the progressive deconstruction of cultural tools, by which young people could define themselves in terms of a community. As a result, in discourse there appear a pragmatic and individualistic attitudes to reality and materialization of the awareness of young people.

In his works on natural sciences, primarily in the Physics, Aristotle focuses on different forms of metabolē and distinguishes movement in general from substantial change. The On generation and corruption deals with the latter. When reading this treatise, one should pay particular attention to the concept of mixture. Apart from being the subject of a specific chapter (I 10), the problem of mixture permeates the whole work. But what exactly is mixture? Is it a simple combination of small parts? Can a compound of water and wine be called mixture? If so, is this mixture and nothing more? In the course of the discussion, it is argued that the Aristotelian idea of mixis does not correspond to the concept that is usually associated with it. Rather, it is shown that mixis is fundamental for comprehending the physical world and constitutes not only the term per quem the first elements of all material bodies originate, but also plays a fundamental role in all natural sciences, particularly, in biology.

Literature is a social fact and as such it can be one of the ways to interpret social reality. Therefore, the literature published after the year 2000, with reference to sociological studies on young generation, is found to be an interesting source of knowledge on behavior, attitudes and values presented by young Poles. The article as a contribution to the discussion on the role of literature as “the mirror” of social life is limited to young people as observers (the youngest generation of Polish writers) and as the observed (experiences and problems of young Poles at the beginning of the 21st century). Its introductory part deals with the problem of perception of social life from the angle of literature, and refers to the concept of the considered generation in sociological literature. Its main part presents the sketch for the portrait of fictional young Poles, their lifestyle and values based on the literary fiction. At the same time, this artistic image is compared to the existing sociological data. The use of the latter is subject to the problem key applied in the analysis of the selected novels.

The study deals with the content and transmission of “images” connected with forced displacement and the relating processes in two three-generation families. The families were chosen based on the oldest generation´s personal experience with the forced displacement after World War II (a family of “deported” Germans living in Germany today and a family of German origin remaining in Czechoslovakia after 1945). The analysis focusses on family memory, whereby the authors ask not only about the content of memories of persons who are part of the “generation of experience”, but also about the transmission of these contents down to the generation of children and grandchildren, as well as about in which way the follow-up generations came to terms with the experience of the oldest generation. The authors point out the importance of family memory to create the identity of persons participating in that memory, and they demonstrate one of possible types of family remembering, whereby the youngest and the oldest generation are its major participants (transgenerational remembering).
