The paper refers to the discussion between different philosophical approaches to problems brought by globalisation. Building various concepts in social and political philosophy requires both rejecting radical relativism as well as finding alternatives to fundamentalism. Between radical approaches there is space for a reasonable ethics and theory of politics. I conclude with Wiktor Osiatynski’s “soft universalism” of human rights, which can be deployed as a tool for building compromise between contradictory standpoints.

The purpose of this article is to diagnose the symptoms of ethnocentrism in subsidiaries of foreign corporations in Poland on the basis of empirical research. This paper presents partial results of the study, which was conducted in two research projects. From the first titled “Staff expatriate managers in multinational companies in Poland” (No. UMO- 2011/01/D/HS4/01700) questionnaire surveys were obtained from 112 expatriates working in Poland, in which the questions were asked about approach to the management of a subsidiary in Poland. The second research project concerned “Perceptions of expatriate managers by the Polish-managers.” In the interviews 20 Polish managers working in branches of foreign corporations in Poland were involved.

The article is critical of the theses presented in J. Stanisławek’s article "Współczesna rewolucja obyczajowa" [The contemporary revolution of manners] (hereafter WRO), which introduces the categories of (1) ‘traditional culture’ and (2) ‘contemporary culture’, to which attributes are assigned: to the former, elitism, idealism, and asceticism; to the latter, egalitarianism, utilitarianism, and hedonism. It also characterises traditional culture as being oriented towards the realisation of ideals, contemporary culture towards pleasure. The beginning of the collapse of the values of traditional culture is supposed to have been determined by the appearance in Western Europe of rock and roll and the bikini. The main objections to WRO concern: (1) omission of a historical-cultural context; (2) failure to base the analysis on factual data; (3) dichotomous division of categories; (4) ethnocentric evaluation of categories. Stanisławek’s article is part and parcel of the war of cultures, i.e. the conflict between conservative and liberal visions of the world (social relations).

The paper presents the core aims and objectives of the teaching materials developed within the IEREST (Intercultural Education Resources for Erasmus Students and their Teachers) project, and shows how the innovative approach adopted for these activities can be implemented in the classroom. The IEREST teaching modules are innovative in that the approach adopted draws strongly on the notions of critical cosmopolitanism (Holliday 2012) and intercultural communicative competence (Byram 1997 and 2012). The activities in the modules promote a view of culture as a negotiated „process” among individuals, small or large groups and intercultural communication as a co-construction of meaning conveyed across linguistic and cultural boundaries, thus rejecting explicitly any “essentialist” attitudes and simplistic overgeneralisation of “otherness.” The approach to language use in intercultural encounters observes how the above concepts are expressed in a number of contexts, while also building on the view that intercultural communication among bilinguals often takes advantage of a lingua franca, a foreign language that all the participants in the communicative activity have in common because they had learned it. Taking into account the concept of “linguaculture” (Risager 2012) the modules seek to raise awareness of the negotiating process in rendering meaning through a linguistic and cultural blend of both the target language and the speake’s first language. The paradigm shift proposed by the IEREST Modules indicates a need to rethink current practices in intercultural education and to acknowledge societal changes in multilingual Europe and beyond.

Alexander Kuprin belongs to the group of social writers at turn of 19th century, who brought up aspects arising from contacts with different cultures, religions and languages on ethnically heterogeneous territory of the Russia. The author of The Duel eagerly used short prose forms, which he enriched with environmental and ethnographic reality, picturing mentality, customs and social problems, also religious and culture differences of other than Russian ethnic groups. In his work we can fi nd portrayals of Crimean Tatars and Greeks, Poles, Polishchuks, Ukraininas, Circassians, Georgians, Armenians, and Jews.

In this paper, I discuss Richard Rorty’s views on intercultural hermeneutics as presented in his essay “Heidegger, Kundera, and Dickens” and in his correspondence with the Indian philosopher Anindita Niyogi Balslev. In doing so, I focus primarily on Rorty’s presumption that instead of providing an “authentic” picture of another culture, the goal of intercultural studies or hermeneutics should be to look if there is anything “of use” that a given culture offers and that is not offered by ours.

The contribution of the environmental philosophy to the XX and XXI centuries philosophy renovation and their capacity to be applied to all aspects of social life is the core of this essay. The history of philosophy on the West is focused on the human condition, the environmental philosophy drive its thought to a global view of biodiversity and geodiversity, enlarged by the concept of biosphere. The dominant perspective of the modern philosophy set the morale in the order of the rules and social conventions and leave the ethics on the field of personal experience. Analyzing the concept of Kantian reason, and its ethic’s corollaries, this essay propose develop them to a new concept, “Environmental Reason”. Conceptualized as a new categorical imperative to the men’s action, beyond the principle that prescribe that we must conform individual acts with a universal law, configuring the human conduct within the limits that safeguard the continuity of life, but also the intrinsic values of earth and its biodiversity and geodiversity. A new perspective ethics founded in the principles of the critique of anthropocentrism and the critique of ethnocentrism represent a new ontology, and.a new epistemology, that could lead to a new ethics universal theory.

The paper is acomparative analysis of nationalist parties in Western, Central and Eastern Europe. The author has chosen as arepresentative sample organisations most often incriminated in neo-fascism and neo-Nazism. The terms have been verified, with the author applying new criteria ofdefinition. In order to exclude or attribute afascist connotation, she has used aconcise description of the fascist doctrine. Referring to its features, she has examined the ideology, operations, relevance and leadership of contemporary nationalist parties. The author has carried out a particularly detailed analysis of the differences and similarities between the revival of nationalism in Western Europe after 1945 and in Eastern Europe after 1989. The process of the emergence of national and nationalist parties in “young” democracies has turned out to be similar, though nationalism does have its various forms and faces.

The following paper deals with the problem of the transformation of the female self from the ethnocentric stage to the ethnorelative stage, as portrayed in Osa Johnson’s “autobiographical” account of her trips in the book I married adventure. The author attempts to show the metamorphosis of the protagonist by relating her experiences to the developmental model of cultural sensitivity, as proposed by M.J. Bennett. It is argued that the protagonist assumes the role of the Other in relation to her husband in the same way that indigenous people appear as the Other in relation to the protagonist. The slight yet detectable change in her perception of the Other constitutes an attempt to liberate herself from the position of the subordinate white female.

A survey was conducted among Hungarian-Romanian-English multilinguals (N=237) with the aim of investigating the individual differences in cultural preferences and value priorities. Participants completed questionnaires measuring: (a) the individual level of national identification (Collective SelfEsteem); (b) own-culture preference (Patriotism); (c) ethnocentric proclivity toward other cultures (Generalized Ethnocentrism Scale); and, (d) the relative importance of 10 universal value types (Portrait Values Questionnaire) in three groups. Native (Hungarian) and acquired languages (Romanian, English) were used for filling out questionnaires for the three groups. Linguistic effects appeared on ethnocentrism, patriotism and collective aspects of self-esteem, but the effects were absent on personal aspect of self-esteem and prevailingly on value priorities. Results may indicate a kind of linguistic relativity in identity relevant self-characterization.

Motivation: Nowadays, economic patriotism is the current social trend affecting a number of aspects related to the economy, the functioning of enterprises and consumers in the conditions of market competition. Companies wishing to maximize their profits and at the same time remain in positive relationships with their customers should pay special attention to the factors that determine the decision-making of young consumers in the selection of goods and services. Aim: The study pays special attention to current situations related to the internationalization of enterprises operating on the Polish market. The main aim of the analysis is to show a number of determinants influencing the manifestations of economic patriotism among adults up to 35 years of age, which if well understood, will allow entrepreneurs to increase the effectiveness of their managed institutions, as well as the analysis of positive and negative market behavior related to economic patriotism. Materials and methods: For the purpose of this study, own research was conducted, which brings a new approach to the discussed issue, showing the attitudes of young consumers consistent with the idea of economic patriotism. Results: People under the age of 35 show a high awareness of economic patriotism and are consumers with a high degree of ethnocentrism. For further effective development of attitudes related to economic patriotism and, above all, their practical realization, a broad initiative is necessary from top-down undertakings on the part of the government, through schools and universities to grassroots social initiatives and realization of the idea of economic patriotism by the individual.

The contemporary anthropology seems to be extremely superficial. Anthropologists do not pay attention to how the studied artifacts arise in the human mind. They tend to watch communities associate with these artifacts, analyze customs, religion, inventions, and other artifacts, but it is not sufficient to achieve the effect of objectivity. Cultural relativism is chosen as a tool to deal with them. It seems that the starting point for a complete rejection of ethnocentrism is the distinction b e tween the cultural sphere praxis and fitness. In turn, in order to achieve the cultural unification one should pay c lose attention to the so-called first principles. The aim of this article is to prove the existence of the first principles as indicators of how do they work in culture. Rules are independent of space and time, and, moreover, they are based in our culture and how we perceive the world around us. We may observe that these rules have existed in human culture from its beginning due to the fact that it was based on them.

The aim of this study was to analyse certain aspects of ethnocentric behaviour of vegetable purchasers in Warsaw. The research, in the form of a survey, was carried out among the adult population in 2015. Among the studied factors were consumers’ attitudes in relation to domestic and imported vegetables, depending on selected demographic characteristics. The analysis of empirical material has indicated ethnocentrism among vegetable buyers. Domestic vegetable purchases are primarily determined by practical advantages of the products. The choice of domestic products for mainly rational reasons points towards intentional ethnocentrism.

Racism is responsible for discrimination against some citizens in Nigeria. It influences government’s policies and actions and militates against equity and equal opportunity for all. It has effaced indigenous values and ebbed the country into groaning predicaments of shattered destiny and derailed national development. Racism hinges on superciliousness and the assumed superiority of one tribe and religion over the others. These bring to the fore two forms of racism in Nigeria: institutional and interpersonal racisms. The Western selfish motive to dominate, marginalize, and sustain economic gains, political expansion, psycho-mental control, and socio-cultural devaluations escalated racism in Nigeria. Racist ideologies were entrenched through the selfish ventures of slave trade, colonialism and neo-colonialism, which enforced an unprecedented unjust harvest of impugnable systemic practices. Neo-colonial forces continue to promote ethnocentrism, cultural imperialism, and the dehumanization, exploitation, oppression, and suppression of Africans. Adopting a methodical approach of critical analysis, this article spotlights the negative effects of racism on Nigeria’s development. However, the bristling challenges of racist ideologies can be resolved within the epistemological compass of gynist deconstruction approach to human thought and action for a better universe of one human race.

The following article is an attempt to present the phenomenon of xenophobia, on the one hand, as an aversion to everything what is foreign, on the other, as a specific way of feeling which in some sense is a behaviour understood for every man. In this paper, other phenomena similar to xenophobia such as racism or discrimination which have a lot of shared areas with xenophobia as well as their most important mechanisms, were also described. Moreover, the issue concerning community was raised without which xenophobia could not actually occur. The article also includes the chosen examples showing signs of xenophobia, on Polish as well as foreign ground, concerning the latest events related to immigrants and refugees which we can see the most frequently in the media and web portals. The aim of this work was to compare particular fields of study: Security Studies, Management and Psychology in terms of intensity of xenophobic attitude, using self-designed questionnaire consisting of 21 statements in total. According to predictions, it turned out that Security Studies students indicate the strongest xenophobic attitudes in all three aspects: ethnic, religious and homosexual, while Psychology students the weakest. However, Management students were placed each time between Security Studies and Psychology students. Most probably the field of study is linked with the intensity of xenophobic attitude. Security Studies students will more often pay attention to something what is strange, untypical as well as threatening in surroundings in order to minimize the possible danger. Psychology students learn the acceptance conduct, not to judge on the basis of fragmentary information which very often requires devoting time and other sources. Security Studies students often cannot afford to do this.

The paper comprises a theoretical analysis of the socialization processes embedded in religious faith, which have led to the presentation of research results of a small empirical case study conducted among Polish students in The Maria Grzegorzewska University in Warsaw. The preliminary study was carried out with over 250 respondents, in small working groups of 20–30 students, in the Institute of Educational Studies (2014–2016). Students were asked to write anonymously a short description of how they perceive God and to prepare a draft drawing of their map of the world. The repetitiveness of the answers in the study reflected the dominant view of God and the Eurocentric geographical perspective, allowing to draw some preliminary conclusions about the process of socialization in a specific religious context and about how it may affect one’s personal worldview.

M. Grzegorzewskiej w Warszawie. W badaniu uczestniczyło ponad 250 studentów w grupach 20–30-osobowych na Wydziale Nauk Pedagogicznych, w latach 2014–2016. Studentów poproszono o przygotowanie krótkiej anonimowej notatki zawierającej opis, jak wyobrażają sobie Boga. Studenci mieli również naszkicować „mapę świata”. Powtarzające się odpowiedzi pozwoliły na wyprowadzenie wniosków o dominującym postrzeganiu Boga oraz geograficznej perspektywie eurocentrycznej badanych. Na tej podstawie wyprowadzono wstępne wnioski o procesie socjalizacji, przebiegającej w określonym kontekście religijnym, zastanawiając się, jak kontekst ten oddziałuje na osobiste poglądy o świecie.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zbadanie poczucia bezpieczeństwa kulturowego Polaków w dobie globalizacji, która rozmywa poczucie tożsamości zarówno indywidualnej, jak i zbiorowej. W związku z powyższym zarówno pojęcie „patriotyzmu”, jak i „nacjonalizmu” zostały przedefiniowane, a pytanie „kim jestem?” często budzi kontrowersje. Artykuł stanowi analizę literatury z zakresu antropologii kulturowej, bezpieczeństwa kulturowego oraz kierunków pokrewnych, będąc próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie o kulturowe aspekty tożsamości Polaków i ich współczesnych postaw patriotycznych. Artykuł koncepcyjny.

The article is about the issue of patriotic attitude in the context of cultural safety among Polish society. In the 21st century, the main threat of globalization is the loss of national identity, which is associated with a sense of building xenophobic attitudes, and a misunderstanding of the concept of patriotism, often identified with nationalism. The aim of the article is to explain patriotism as a positive value, associated with cultural relativism translated into a practical reality.
