Being socially connected is a universal human need, but a substantial number of older men and women are or become excluded from these connections in later life. Exclusion from social relations (ESR) is unwanted as it undermines people’s ability to lead a healthy, active, and independent life. Policies to reduce this form of exclusion have been limited in effectiveness, due in part to a broader lack of knowledge about the dynamics of social exclusion in older ages and the intersection of social exclusion with gender constructions. To advance our understanding of ESR in later life, we develop a heuristic model based on theories and previous empirical studies. Considering the gendered constructing forces of ESR in older age that can potentially lead to loneliness and reduced health and wellbeing, the model identifies individual drivers, such as biopsychosocial conditions, personal standards and life- -course transitions, and macro-level drivers, such as norms and welfare state provisions. This model can serve as a conceptual platform for further theoretical development and empirical study on the gendered construction of ESR in later life. While our focus is on drivers of ESR and its outcomes, potential reversed effects are also discussed.

The paper is an attempt to analyse the drama "Dantons Tod" [Danton’s Death] by Georg Büchner in the light of the reflections of the modern German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk about the thymotic aspirations of the human. ‘Thymos’ is a Greek term for the area in the human soul / psyche which pertains to the need for acknowledgement. The area of thymos is thus responsible for the affects which are necessary to fulfil this need, i.e. pride, indignation, anger, ambition or readiness to fight. These affects became, according to Sloterdijk, largely marginalized under the influence of the Christian morality since they posed a threat to the feudal socio-political hierarchy. The legitimization of the authority based on the notion of ‘the grace of God’ required unconditional obedience of the subjects, as well as the acceptance of the absolutist, that is God’s, order. The ideas of the Enlightenment and ultimately the outburst of the French Revolution meant a re-activation of the thymotic energy and the shaping of the so-called culture of indignation / disagreement for the current system. The bourgeoisie manifested its anger in the great thymotic project which was the French Revolution. Georg Büchner took an active part in the afore-mentioned culture of indignation and propagated it among the oppressed and the humiliated contemporary with him. "Dantons Tod" presents the reflexes of thymos as the basic mechanism shaping human relations.

The so-called hinterlands of cities constitute one of the important categories of rural localities; these are municipalities that are connected with a nearby city through employment and other activities of their inhabitants. Many of them are part of the suburbanization process with growing residential housing and growing population tied to the urban settlement. The process of (modern) suburbanization in Slovakia appeared in the second half of the 1990s, most markedly near Bratislava and in the vicinity of other larger cities. This category of municipalities is growing in size and number and it is thus becoming an increasingly important phenomenon of rural (or rural-urban) settlement. Qualitative (ethnographic) research on these villages in Slovakia is still in its infancy. In our research on two localities near Bratislava we focused on finding out the level and form of relations between local old inhabitants and new settlers. We also noticed the motivation of new residents to move to the village. We obtained data from the declared statements of informants in an ethnographic interview. Their analysis showed that contacts between the two groups occur randomly and sporadically, and their form is formal and courtesy. The most frequent factors for moving into the village were the price of the house, the desire to live in a “green” and peaceful rural environment, and the feeling of privacy and freedom.

Medieval Livonia and its town life were created in the 12th and 13th centuries as a result of crusading conquests. Livonian urban elites immigrated mostly from German lands. A small number of people of indigenous origin were also integrated into the emerging merchant class. Besides merchants who settled down in Riga, Tallinn, Tartu, or in other towns in the region, travelling merchants from the western part of the forming Hanseatic area played an important role in the urban life and even in the urban administration. On the basis of anthroponyms and geographical identifications of medieval townspeople, the author of the article argues that the migration patterns were not limited to immigration from Germany to Livonia. The social and spatial integration of this region resulted from multiple ways of travelling and relocation: people also returned to Germany or remained simultaneously connected to several places and sometimes remained permanently mobile. Early Livonian merchants could also be mobile within the area including minor towns and even rural places. Not only the “Germans”, but also people of native origin were involved in these movements. The family networks in particular supported multiple spatial identifications. An economically active person could have many places of identification; moving from one town to another during a lifetime was the rule, not an exception. However, the existing network of family and kinship relations, which provided trustworthy partners in the vast area from Westphalia to Livonia, was probably one of the main factors which made German merchants enjoy an advantage over their Scandinavian and Livonian native counterparts.

Children grow up surrounded by new technologies, which obviously affects their entire childhood. Observing the closest environment – family and school – children undergo digital socialization and learn that by means of new technologies you can interact with society. They quickly notice that new technologies make it easier to enter peer relationships, but they can also pose a kind of danger by generating negative phenomena. Early school age children's perception of such entering into social relations with the help of new technologies has become the subject of research presented in the article. To answer the research problems set out in the text, I used the method of focus interview conducted on a group of nine-year-olds (5 groups of 3 children in each group). Based on the data obtained, I came to the conclusion that the social relations in which the child enters with the help of new technologies are just as important and significant for a child as those that take place directly. They allow children to integrate on the basis of common interests and experiences, but at the same time they can also be the cause of social exclusion or can lead to giving a specific rank to a peer group. On the one hand, they prove to be helpful – by strengthening social skills acquired offline, they are also a place where a child rejected by peers finds support. On the other hand, for other children, they can cause a build-up of their problems: can cause exclusion and increase feelings of loneliness. Undoubtedly, they change the way children spend their free time, which increasingly takes place with the help of new technologies. However, the way of entering social interactions does not change – usually relationships are initiated in the offline world but developed and maintained in the online world thanks to new technologies.

The aim of the article is to analyse social relations of people experiencing unemployment in today’s Polish society on the basis of the data collected as a part of the “Memoirs of the Unemployed” project. In this paper, we investigate three types of relations: with family, with friends and acquaintances, and with labour market institutions. Our analysis shows that the experience of unemployment has a specific impact on social relations, both within the family and with other people. They are characterised by great ambivalence, which results from the fact that although they are a source of support, they are often based on a lack of understanding of the situation of people experiencing unemployment, and even involve stigmatisation. The relations with representatives of institutions are perceived by the research participants as instrumental and stigmatising.

Research background: Integration and globalization processes encourage activities for the development of border regions. For the north-eastern regions of Poland and the Kaliningrad region, cross-border neighbourhood enables regions to cooperate and provides an opportunity for economic and social recovery. Purpose of the article: The present article aims to analyse areas of cross-border activity taking place on the Polish-Russian borderland, based on the opinions of the inhabitants of the Kaliningrad region. Taking into account the rapidly changing political and economic conditions, as well as social relations, the following areas of Polish-Russian cross-border cooperation have been examined: economic activity, tourism, social activity, scientific cooperation, neighbourly relations. Methods: The study presents the results of the author?s own research carried out using standardized interviews with 1,022 inhabitants of the Kaliningrad region. As the research instrument, a self-designed interview questionnaire. The adopted time frame encompassed four stages of the functioning of Polish-Russian cross-border cooperation, each of them different due to political, eco-nomic and social conditions. The sample was selected using the quota method. The correspondence analysis was used for statistical tools. Findings & Value added: The suspension of local border traffic has significantly limited the development of cross-border cooperation. The Polish-Russian relations, encumbered with high risk and uncertainty, have led to a considerable decrease in cooperation between border areas. The level of risk results not only from mutual relations between Poland and Russia, but is also a consequence of political and economic relations between the European Union and the Russian Federation. In the long term perspective, local border traffic may be open and similar conditions for the functioning of cross-border cooperation may occur. Therefore, knowledge about the activity of cross-border residents of Polish-Russian border regions will be useful in counteracting the undesirable effects that may occur.

The information contained in this article is still open. Sustainable development is an idea whose goal is to achieve sustainable and sustainable socio-economic and political development with respect and protection of the natural environment. In order to achieve its goal, the idea must become a necessity. Sustainable development is an interdisciplinary and multi-faceted issue, therefore this article presents how sustainable development can play a preventive role in the risk of social ties and relations in the information society era. Currently, the role of sustainable development in the sociopsychological aspect is little emphasized. The article deals with the issues of threats to social relations and ties that are generated by modern technologies appearing in the information society, distinguishing their psychological, technical, medical, legal, social and contemporary character, and at the same time combining the assumptions of sustainable development, which through preventive action may contribute to the social order in terms of balancing the development of relations between social ties in the real and virtual dimensions of human social life.

The paper analyses works of an early period during which general views of S. Dnistriański concerning the formation and development of law and nation were shaped. These are the works created from 1897 to 1902. According to the author of the very article it is these works that contain the basis of a holistic general and theoretical conception of “social relations” that was later on presented by S. Dnistrianski in further texts: Ogólna nauka prawa i polityki (Загальна наука права і політики) (1923), Wizja teorii państwa i prawa (Погляд на теорії права тадержави) (1925), Społeczne formy prawa (Соціальні форми права) (1928) and others (1923),(1925), (1928).

Nowadays the world is characterized on the one hand by the rapid pace of changes, their unpredictability, restricted resources, multi-dimensional social challenges, and on the other, widely accessible modern technology which has led to the “birth” of social innovations. Social innovation, like every other innovation, is something new, an improved solution. In the case of social innovations their essence is, however, a social element and it is this social element which is also the aim of innovation, and not only its consequence. Social innovations are therefore social, both as regards the aim, nature, scope, process and its effects. This article presents theoretical and empirical considerations on the essence of social innovations and also the role of dialogue with stakeholders in the process of their creation. It is based on a critical analysis of literature on the subject, desk and web research, and also research conducted in selected enterprises.

The importance of trust for the development of an individual, social relations and for the development of societies has been emphasised by social, psychological and educational theorists. Personal and social trust towards people is to a great extent bound with emotional involvement. People who are close to one another, especially relatives or friends assume that they act on similar principles. Such assumptions about personal relations make people more open, generous and optimistic. Social trust is gained in the course of various daily, professional and social experiences. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to demonstrates personal and social trust on the basis of the results of the surveys conducted by CBOS (Public Opinion Research Centre in Poland).

At present, loneliness is called a 21 prepared by a special British government commission, 9 million adults in the UK are 21st century civilisation disease. According to a report prepared by a special British government commission, 9 million adults in the UK are often or always lonely. From the beginning of the century we have been observing a growing popularity for focusing on personal and professional development, and for a long time remaining single. However, this supports the development of egocentrism and hinders the subsequent building of intimate relationships with other people. Modern society does not support lonely people, perceiving them as freaks, loners and the weak ones. The behaviour of individuals is constantly assessed by society. Anyone who thinks or behaves differently is exposed to rejection. The young generation gains less and less experience in building relationships with others, which will affect their adult life. This raises the threat that the future society will focus on individualism increasing the threat ofdeep loneliness of the village paradoxically, in an increasingly larger society.

The origins of the term ‘empathy’ go back to the beginning of the 20th century, when the foundation of analyses of the phenomenon were philosophical (phenomenological) deliberations on the issue of getting to know mental states of other people. The first psychologist to draw on achievements of phenomenologists and to use the term Die Einfühlung was Theodor Lipps (Lipps 1897). In the Anglo-Saxon literature the term was translated as ‘empathy’, sharing another person’s emotions. In our times, in pedagogy and psychotherapy, significant findings on empathy were made by Carl Rogers (1975), a personality psychologist. The article presents fragments of selected Edith Stein’s letters and statements that prove her interest in the issue of empathy both in her academic as well as personal life.

This paper presents the chosen and initial issues relating to the potential of the historical gentrification in Nowa Huta – the part of Krakow that was erected as a new, perfect town of socialism in the 50s. In order to investigate the gentrification potential of this area, I take into account the important subject of urban changes present in the Polish conditions. In fact, I do it from a different perspective and in a different moment; I observe the gentrification process through the eyes of the new citizens and in its introductory phase.

The economy of any community depends on the values which are considered to be the most important. Social organization and technologies are subordinated to their implementation. In traditional societies, including people of the La Tène culture, the most significant issues concerned the status of individuals and the resulting interpersonal relations. The position in rank was manifested and gained through participation in military expeditions. The economy was subordinated to military action. Nonetheless, new technologies and financial solutions created opportunities for military success. This, however, has its price in enormous social inequalities and almost permanent war.
