The aim of the article is to present the characteristics of modern generations (Builders, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials – Generations Y, Z and Alpha) and their divergent experience of the COVID-19 pandemic. The methodology involved a review and critical analysis of Polish and English literature of the subject and available reports. The analyses indicate that each generation, to varying degrees, has faced the problem of coping with losses in behavioral, biological, psychosocial, and material terms.

The present study is motivated by the growing interest in cities as tourist destinations as well as the fact that German citizens are the largest group of foreign tourists visiting Poland. The purpose of the study is to identify characteristics of German tourists visiting Poznań, taking into account differences between generations. The study is based on survey data collected by the authors in the period 2014-2016 using the CAWI and PAPI method. The data include quantitative characteristics of tourist traffic and assessments of tourists’ satisfaction with their stay in Poznań. A total of 505 respondents were surveyed. The results of the study show that within different age groups, despite some similarities, there are significant differences in the way tourist travel is organized. Most German tourists expressed a high level of satisfaction with their stay in Poznań, but their willingness to recommend the city as a tourist destination or to revisit it clearly varied depending on the age group.

The article aims to present the analysis of three Polish songs that are treated in the social space as important statements by „voices of their generation”. Jacek Kaczmarski in Our Class [Nasza klasa], Zygmunt „Muniek” Staszczyk in the song This nurture [To wychowanie] and Michał „Mata” Matczak in Pathointeligency [Patointeligencja], expressing the problems of their peers, occupy a specific place towards the older generation, which is symbolized by the educational system. Using a different music genre and functioning in different socio-political realities, each of the artists also proposes a different strategy of „fighting” in a generational conflict, which ranges from (apparent) passivity, through commitment, to rebellion. The interpretation of the aforementioned cultural texts (the song is understood as a multi-code message with a solid performative potential) considers their verbal and musical content and the historical and performance context, and the dynamically changing reception. The analysis of the differences and common points of the mentioned texts is intended to capture the phenomenon of popularity of these three completely different songs, which confirm that the most fortuitous statements of specificity and generational distinctiveness in the art use the mechanism of dispute.

In this paper, we will present a study into the dynamics of the transmission of emotional traumatic in three families of victims of World War II and post-war communist oppression. This study is taken from a broader research project in which we investigated the experiences of nonclinical families that managed to survive through three generation, and in which post-traumatic growth is present, i. e. the ability to integrate traumatic experiences and provide greater security for future generations. The main focus will be on how emotional content is transmitted and transformed through generations and how to recognise it in various forms of behaviour, thinking and emotions, that appear in each of the generations. As we follow the transformation of traumatic content, we will also follow the the signs that show how traumatic content has integrated and begun to bring new, deeper emotional and mental insights. The emotional depth of the traumatic experience is what burdens the victim the most and slows down the dynamics of trauma processing. It appears in the form of symptoms of post-traumatic stress syndrome, insecurity and mistrust. This is found even in victims who have articulated the trauma sufficiently to rise above intimidation, managed to develop emotionally strong and connecting interpersonal relationships, maintain faith in the future, and form a coherent narrative of their traumatic past. The most interesting result of the research was that all three families, regardless of their diversity, are similar in term of processing the trauma. They were all able to speak openly about their traumatic experiences. In all three families there there was a great deal of discussion and searching for the social framework and personal truth of historical events, and the desire to present and describe the events that left such deep wounds in such a way that they would be clear, reworked and accessible to future generations as a document of the reality of some tragic and difficult times. Another source of trauma processing was religious faith, which allowed all the participants in this study to look at trauma and life more deeply, through relationships and connections between people and through a deeper understanding of human history embedded in a broader and deeper spiritual flow. Faith helped these families to find the courage to make decisions, to face life’s challenges, and to endure even the most severe of life's trials. A third source that facilitates the processing and integration of a traumatic experience is secure interpersonal relationships and compassionate parenting. Despite the fact that the whole question of parenting was demanding and full of challenges for our interviewees, the quality of parenting has been improved from generation to generation, and sincere affection for children and gratitude for children were present everywhere. The ability to follow the new generation and its initiatives while maintaining a connection to its roots is a dynamic that characterises all three families. There is also a lot of thinking and conscious effort in establishing and maintaining good marital relationships in these families. For the recovery from trauma this study shows the importance of talking about it and also talking about it in a safe relationship until it takes a form that is genuine and at the same time clear, coherent and thus suitable for the general public. That’s when the traumatic story ceases to be traumatizing and becomes a story of courage, perseverance, and truth.

The article presents one of the current directions of development and optimisation of modern education – a features of each of the current generations and the use of such teaching tools that reflect and embody these features. We are talking about both the didactic and technological features of the learning process and the semantic, essential aspects of the learning process that make the learning process itself relevant, meaningful, promising for each of the generations, not formally required. The result of such an approach to optimising the learning process is to increase the effectiveness of both the learning process and the education system as a whole in each specific historical period in the development of society.

1920 - A caesura in social theory?:

100%
EN
The centenary of Max Weber's death raises the question of the wider significance of 1920 as marking a break in the history of social theory. This essay focuses on Germany and Austria, where the political break with the past was particularly sharp and the discontinuities in the social and intellectual configuration of the social sciences were most obvious. Three trends are particularly striking: the development of neo-Marxist social theory with György Lukács and Karl Korsch and the later emergence of critical theory, the polarisation between neo-positivism and interpretive sociology, and the consolidation of the sociology of knowledge.

Young people love being online. It is true for Hungarians as well, and communications technology plays a strong role in their lives. Young people (born in 1982-1996) were asked about their thoughts on the role of social network and being online in their lives. As a result, opinions of 662 respondents were collected through the method of online survey. The research results indicate that they are quite conscious social network users. The Generation Y’s life has been strongly determined by the existence of technological devices, and the communication through online sites. They especially like the social media applications, which basically determine their everyday life, friendships. The users pay just a slight attention to the access to their profile and set up restrictions despite the fact that they also spend most of their time in the cyberspace. The representatives of the generation clearly form a homogenous group, thus supporting the definition, which states that the members of Generation Y were born between 1982 and 1996. On the basis of our research, it can also be concluded that they form a homogenous group on the basis of their Internet usage patterns too.

Demographic changes connected with aging of Polish society shall determine the situation in the labor market to an ever-growing extent. The increase of average lifespan in combination with limited options of early retirement and smaller supply of employees shall lead to higher percentage of personnel aged 60 and more inside organizations. All these factors signify that more and more frequently contemporary companies shall function with personnel characterized by a truly large age gap. Undoubtedly, age of employees significantly influences their attitude to work, system of values, loyalty toward both the co-workers and the employer, as well their professional ambitions. In spite of these major differences, individuals from various generations will be forced to cooperate in the same teams. This article presents partial results of empiric studies dealing with the issue of generational diversification of human resources conducted in local labor market of the city of Ruda Śląska, both among the employees and employers. Opinions of employees and employers concerning the quality of mutual cooperation of individuals characterized by large age differences have been analyzed and simultaneously potential opportunities for mutual learning of employees belonging to different age groups have been presented.

The aim of the article is to analyse the structure of consumer behaviour models and their applications to financial behaviour. The paper is theoretical in nature, examining generational breakdowns and selected trends in consumer behaviour. An analysis of the ‚rules‘ significant for types of consumer behaviour is conducted. Despite recently intensified theoretical and empirical analysis of consumer behaviour, a coherent research approach that integrates the issue of consumer behaviour with the specificities of the financial-services market has not yet been developed. Models remain frail, their functionality is still insufficient, and their applicability is constantly being altered by influences on consumer behaviour, including macro and microeconomic factors and the influence of scientific fields such as economics, sociology, psychology, management and anthropology. This article attempts to create a model that takes into account the general factors adopted in models constructed so far, along with the assumption that economic, cultural, social, personal, experiences, and other factors play a role in shaping and stimulating at least five variables: type of consumer from a particular generation (Cy); type of financial products and services (Xy); motivation (My); capacity (Capy); and opportunities (Oy).

Research background: In the last few years, e-commerce market has increased in population shares, but the situation has changed dramatically since the Covid-19 pandemic. Electronic marketplaces have changed due to rapid digitalization and shopping. Online services offer the possibility to choose a different delivery method such as home delivery or out-of-home delivery. This aspect of the e-commerce market faces an increased interest among practitioners and academia in the field of sustainable last mile deliveries. Interestingly, the subject literature consists of papers analyzing the e-commerce impact on the last-mile delivery. However, the identification of factors for choosing a delivery method and factors that motivate e-customers to choose an eco-friendly delivery method is still an unrecognized field of research. Purpose of the article: The authors of the paper focused on the e-customer perspective on sustainable deliveries in cities. Thus, the main purpose of the paper is to compare factors among the generations that motivate e-customers for choosing a delivery method. Methods: The research was conducted among 1.110 e-customers in Poland in 2021. The paper aims to answer the following research question: what factors motivate each generation for choosing a delivery method? To answer the above-mentioned question, the correspondence analysis (MCA) is prepared that help to identify and compare factors in each generation. Findings & value added: The original research procedure focused on the use of multivariate statistical methods in the study of e-customers’ preferences. The analysis revealed three clusters of e-customers in terms of pro-sustainable factors: (a) aged 65+ without pro-sustainable tendency, (b) aged 18–64 with pro-sustainable attitudes, and (c) mixed with no identified delivery preferences. As a result of the research, it can be concluded that the parcel price and the possibility of free return are still the most important factors in choosing the delivery method. From a business/practical perspective, the research results can be used by companies that are the main stakeholders in last mile deliveries, including mainly forwarders and transport companies.

The contribution continues an article briefly introducing the concept of intergenerational learning, published in the 2009/2 issue of Studia Paedagogica. The article reviewed the offer of the courses and programmes of non-formal education as opportunities for family members of various generations to learn among each other. The review became the starting point of further exploration of what motivates people to take up the courses, what they gain in them, how they judge the participation of people of various generations, and how they perceive intergenerational learning. A more detailed view like this is based on a questionnaire survey among the participants of the courses of non-formal education, of three different generations: parents, grandparents and grown-up children, though not of one and the same family. Their responses are compared among each other and, in some case, confronted with the results of other surveys.

The article presents the biographies of representatives of the third post-war generation of Polish Jews. It attempts at reconstructing the experiences of becoming a religious Jew, choosing a Jewish path in adolescence where there is no or incomplete transmission of intergenerational cultural heritage in the family of origin. The two women’s biographies were analysed in terms of independent acquisition of cultural (religious) knowledge and the possibilities and limitations of Jewish education in our country. The research was carried out based on the biographical method and unstructured/ in-depth interviews (2018–2022). Exemplifications in the form of the two biographies serve to distinguish the stages of “becoming a religious Jew and mother” in the “found generation”, to show individual biographical events and common biographical sequences (mostly educational and parental).

Young people have a strong need to be in good relationships with their parents. They learn from them most. Parents are the starting point and often the turning point in many crisis situations. In the process of formulating their identity, young people need more and more living space outside their family home to carry out their development tasks. But it is hard not to talk to parents. Each conversation may take different forms. This article shows the specificityof the ongoing discussions between young people and their parents in a contemporary family home. Based on my research, I point out not only conflictsituations in the contemporary family, but I also explain the importance of intergenerational conflict,its specificity. I moreoverindicate both normative and opportunistic aspects of the dialogues carried out by young people. I am going to show we need a conversation and what its strength is. Even if I seem to point to the negative aspects of conversation, it remains an indispensable, or even a therapeutic element of support for both young people and their parents.

The aim of the article is to present the current research achievements regarding the differences and similarities between attitudes towards work among employees of different ages1. The research and analysis of differences in attitudes, manifested by the representatives of different generations, pose a number of methodological problems which can have a big impact on final conclusions. The text attempts to analyse intergenerational differences regarding: work in the hierarchy of values, work satisfaction, loyalty to the employer and flexibility for changes. The author did not conduct his own empirical research, as the aim of this article was to gather available results of the research already conducted. The conclusions from the studies cited are of a practical nature and are intended for both academics and business practitioners.

The weak and strong sustainable development models are analysed in this paper. The emergence of weak and strong models of sustainable development, the bases and principles that distinguish them from each other, as well as the arguments of the supporters of these approaches are studied. It is noted in this paper that, believing that there can be a smooth replacement of resources, the weak sustainability approach does not see any environmental threat to economic growth. The disadvantage of this approach is that it does not take into account the fact that human life would be unstable if the basic natural resources were depleted without any compensation. From this viewpoint, the arguments of the strong sustainability approach are considered more realistic and accepted as more attractive. A strong approach to sustainable development, which is a more cautious approach to economic growth, emphasises that sustainable development can be achieved through environmental responsibility. Ensuring environmental responsibility is presented as one of the important conditions for economic expediency and social solidarity. Strong sustainability model opposes the possibility that human capital can be replaced by natural capital. Analysing the positions of those scientists, who support strong sustainability, it is concluded that the replacement of development characterised by quantitative growth with qualitative sustainable development to increase welfare is one of the important principles of strong sustainable development.

Celem artykułu jest sproblematyzowanie relacji między wiekiem a uczestnictwem wyborczym w Polsce, ich syntetyczne omówienie, a także analiza empiryczna. Mają one znaczenie dla wielu aspektów i obszarów życia społecznego, politycznego, gospodarczego, a szczególnej wagi nabierają współcześnie, w dobie fundamentalnych zmian demograficznych zachodzących w Polsce. Przeprowadzone przez nas analizy potwierdzają, odwołując się do najlepszych publicznie dostępnych danych empirycznych (PGSW), istnienie wyraźnych związków między wiekiem a uczestnictwem wyborczym. Te związki mają znaczenie dla procesu demokratycznego i politycznej reprezentacji. Rosnące dysproporcje między poszczególnymi grupami wiekowymi skutkują zmianą poziomu ich reprezentacji. Analiza wpływu wieku na wyborcze uczestnictwo (cyklu życiowego, okresu/momentu historycznego, kohorty) wskazuje na większe znaczenie cyklu życia i (względnie) mniejsze znaczenie doświadczeń pokoleniowych, generacyjnych, kohortowych. Odnotowywane w Polsce systematyczne różnice we frekwencji wyborczej między poszczególnymi grupami wiekowymi nie są świadectwem pokoleniowych różnic w (skłonności do) partycypacji. Większe znaczenie ma cykl życia i jego fazy.

This article aims is to problematize and analyze the relationship between age and voter turnout in Poland. Our analyses use the best publicly available empirical data, i.e. Polish National Election Study (PGSW), to confirm clear relationships between age and voter turnout. These relationships are essential for the democratic process and political representation. They are crucial for many aspects of social, political and economic life, and are of particular importance nowadays, at the time of fundamental demographic changes in Poland. Increasing disparities between different age groups result in changes in their level of representation. The analysis of the influence of age on electoral participation 42 Mikołaj Cześnik, Piotr Zagórski (life cycle, historical period/moment, cohort) indicates a greater importance of the life cycle and a (relatively) lesser significance of generational and cohort experiences. The differences registered between particular age groups are not an evidence of generational differences in (propensity for) participation, rather, the life cycle and its phases have a greater importance.

Cel badań. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie najistotniejszych różnic pomiędzy przedstawicielami różnych pokoleń w zakresie wartości i oczekiwań związanych z miejscem pracy. W ramach niniejszego opracowania zaprezentowane zostaną metody budowania wiedzy i kompetencji. Wskazane zostaną również najnowsze trendy oraz konkretne narzędzia, po jakie można sięgać w procesie kształcenia, by uczynić go maksymalnie wydajnym. Metoda. Na potrzeby artykułu dokonano przeglądu literatury przedmiotu oraz analizy wybranych narzędzi budowania kompetencji, z perspektywy ich funkcjonalności oraz adekwatności dla przedstawicieli różnych pokoleń. Wyniki. Przeprowadzone analizy wskazują, że poszczególne pokolenia różnią się pomiędzy sobą w zakresie wartości, oczekiwań i celów życiowych, sposobów komunikacji, czy metod pozyskiwania wiedzy o otaczającym świecie. Stąd też niezbędne jest wykorzystywanie w procesie edukacji narzędzi i metod dostosowanych do przedstawicieli różnych generacji. W ramach artykułu wskazane zostały przykładowe metody i narzędzia, które mogą stanowić realne wsparcie w procesie budowania kompetencji. Wnioski. Przed systemem edukacji, zarówno oświatowym, jak i tym związanym z rynkiem usług szkoleniowych, staje ogromne wyzwanie, polegające na konieczności sprostania różnicom pokoleniowym. O ile tradycyjne formy nauczania były efektywne jeszcze kilkanaście lat temu, tak teraz ich potencjalny odbiorca, żyjący w zgoła innym otoczeniu społecznym, uzna je nie tylko za mało atrakcyjne, ale również za mało skuteczne.

Aim. The article presents the most important differences between particular generations, their values ​​and expectations related to the workplace. It also describes methods of increasing knowledge, and the latest trends and specific tools which can be used in the education process to make it as efficient as possible. Method. For this article, a review of the literature and analysis of selected tools for increasing competences was made from the perspective of their functionality and adequacy for different generations. Results. Different generations are diametrically different in a range of values, expectations and life goals, methods of communication or methods of acquiring knowledge about the surrounding world. Therefore, in the education process it is necessary to use tools and methods adapted to representatives of each generation. The article provides examples of methods and tools which can be a real support in the process of increasing competences. Conclusions. A huge challenge faces the education system, both in school and related to the training services market. While traditional forms of teaching were effective in the past, now their potential recipient, living in a completely different social environment, will find them not only unattractive, but also not very effective.

Kapitał ludzki stanowi kluczowy czynnik wzrostu produktywności, zatem niezbędna jest ocena różnic między generacjami w tym obszarze, włączając wybrane charakterystyki demograficzne i społeczno-ekonomiczne. Jedną z ważniejszych jest miejsce zamieszkania. W zależności od wielkości miasta zróżnicowana jest dostępność infrastruktury – edukacyjnej, kulturalnej, jak również ochrony zdrowia i miejsc pracy. Celem pracy jest ocena poziomu i struktury kapitału ludzkiego mieszkańców miast przy uwzględnieniu jednocześnie obydwu kryteriów – wielkości miasta i przynależności do różnych generacji w Polsce. Analiza empiryczna przeprowadzona została z wykorzystaniem zbiorów danych Diagnozy Społecznej. W analizie statystycznej wykorzystano dwuczynnikowe modele analizy wariancji, jak również statystyki deskryptywne i test niezależności chi-kwadrat.

When Group 42 held its first postwar exhibition in 1945, the initiator of the renewal of activity was the young theorist and art critic Jiří Kotalík. The members of the group, namely František Gross, František Hudeček, Jan Kotík, Kamil Lhoták, Jan Smetana, Karel Souček, Josef Kainar, Ivan Blatný and Jiří Kolář, were at that time exhibiting their drawings, watercolours and prints and reciting their poems in the Pošova Gallery in Prague. The exhibition was given a positive reception in the reviews of art critics. Jindřich Chalupecký, who was active in the establishment of Group 42 and in its first exhibitions in 1943, did not participate in the preparations for this exhibition. He waited to see if the members of the association would be able to appear again together in public. The successfully renewed activity of the group nevertheless evoked a reaction from him and in the course of the exhibition, in September 1945, he sent an extensive letter to Jiří Kotalík and all members of the association. In it he analyses the position of the group in the Czech art scene and deals with the basic question of whether to continue. He considers Group 42 to be an elite association, the only one that is modern and stands out from the rest. He recommends maintaining the activity of the group and also its exclusivity. He formulates the programme of the association with the aid of critical questions to which he also supplies the answers. He even foresees the future of Group 42, which he felt should become a centre for further artists. In conclusion he also plans a great retrospective exhibition and the publication of an extensive monograph. In the end these great plans came to nothing. The group organised further exhibitions in Bratislava and in Brno. But this was followed by gradual disintegration and after 1948 Group 42 vanished completely.

Když v roce 1945 uspořádala Skupina 42 svou první poválečnou výstavu, stál u obnovení činnosti mladý teoretik a výtvarný kritik Jiří Kotalík. Členové skupiny, jmenovitě František Gross, František Hudeček, Jan Kotík, Kamil Lhoták, Jan Smetana, Karel Souček, Josef Kainar, Ivan Blatný a Jiří Kolář, tehdy vystavili v Pošově galerii v Praze své kresby, akvarely a grafiky a recitovali své básně. Výstava získala pozitivní odezvu v recenzích výtvarných kritiků. Jindřich Chalupecký, který stál u vzniku Skupiny 42 a u jejích prvních výstav v roce 1943, se příprav této výstavy nezúčastnil. Vyčkával, jestli spolu členové sdružení dokáží znovu veřejně vystoupit. Úspěšně obnovená aktivita skupiny přece jen vyvolala jeho reakci a ještě během trvání výstavy v září roku 1945 poslal Jiřímu Kotalíkovi a všem členům sdružení obsáhlý dopis. V něm rozebírá pozici skupiny v českém uměleckém prostředí a řeší základní otázku, zda pokračovat. Skupinu 42 považuje za elitní, jedinou moderní a vymykající se od ostatních. Doporučuje udržet činnost skupiny i její výjimečnost. Program sdružení formuluje pomocí kritických otázek, na které si však zároveň odpovídá. Předpovídá dokonce budoucnost Skupiny 42, která se má stát centrem pro další umělce. Závěrem plánuje velkou retrospektivní výstavu a vydání obsáhlé monografie. Z velkých plánů nakonec sešlo. Skupina uspořádala ještě výstavy v Bratislavě a Brně. Dále už následoval postupný rozpad a po roce 1948 Skupina 42 zanikla úplně.

Transgression is often seen as a negative term; to cross social or ethical boundaries. In this paper, it is defined as ‘blurring of the symbolic boundaries between grandparents and younger generations in terms of the WWII experience’, which leads to living memory of the war, but also to experiencing and re-living the trauma of war and dislocation. It occurs through the immersion of younger generations in family history narratives, memorabilia, diaries and photographs that become a family treasure, owned jointly by the family members. In this paper, intergenerational transgression is analysed as a softand symbolic phenomenon, which on one hand preserves the memory of past, but on the other, cascades the negative experiences onto children and grandchildren. If this is true for WWII survivors, then it should be considered in other cases of long-term conflict and dislocation, particularly in recent conflicts such as Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Understanding the connection between intergenerational transgression of war trauma may aid the process of healing.
