RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to present seniors’ opinions about their activity and ways to meet seniors’ needs. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The research problem was centered around: participation in senior social life; forms of activity undertaken by seniors; ways to spend free time by seniors and the needs of the elderly. Survey was used as the research method. The studies were diagnostic and exploratory. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The progressive demographic change in Polish society makes active and active aging more active and the elderly’s needs for care and support become a major stimulus for satisfaction and quality of life. The article reviews the opinions of seniors about their activity and ways of meeting their needs. RESEARCH RESULTS: This study has shown that participation in social life, forms of activity and the needs of the elderly in various ways are met and implemented. Seniors indicating inactivity (in this study are mainly social welfare beneficiaries) generally declare that they feel socially excluded. These people choose a type of home and solitary activity, and spending their free time is mainly based on watching TV and listening to the radio. On the other hand, active seniors (in this study are mainly participants in senior clubs) are satisfied with their role in society. Free time is spent on meetings with people, e.g. in the club and prefer to take various activities. Research also shows that various forms of senior activism, including senior ones, have an impact on the quality of life of the elderly, significantly improving their activity, while addressing higher needs and counteracting social exclusion. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMENDATIONS: There is a need for more intensified action by aid institutions, directed towards seniors who are inactive, excluded – social welfare clients, so that they too can live in the “autumn of life.” Training should also be provided to social workers who equip tchem with the necessary knowledge and skills to work effectively with the seniors and to effectively and effectively reintegrate and reintegrate them.

Admitting a variety of psychological conditioning of making use of pastime, attention must be drawn to inability of making use of free time. There are people who, while objectively having free time, are not able to experience this feeling. It refers to neurotic individuals. The paper is an attempt to analyze these mechanisms in the neurotic personality which are responsible for inability to make use of pastime or even lack of the feeling of having free time. Neither active planning of free time nor a passive awareness if its experiencing are involved. The above mentioned mechanisms are: a neurotic person’s perfectionism, specific attitude towards one’s freedom and neurotic feeling of guilt. Neurotic feeling of guilt is presented as the most destructive mechanism, closely related to perfectionism and the attitude towards the neurotic’s own freedom. The inner mechanisms of a neurotic individual prevent them from realization of the functions of free time which may be regarded as main and essential: from the regenerative function, through compensative and suspensive, to the creative function. The paper is an attempt to interpret the inner mechanisms of a neurotic individual, mainly within the framework of analytical psychology, as the causes of being unable to realize the particular functions of pastime. The analysis of a neurotic person’s inner mechanisms has been conducted with reference to the latter’s symptoms as well as origins, especially regarding the neurotic feeling of guilt.

Pope John Paul II paid much attention to nature in his teaching. This is clearly reflected in his documents, speeches, homilies and occasional speeches, and also in his literary work. Pope joined the global debate on the consumption model of modern civilization, the state of nature and methods of preventing its devastation. At the root of the involved personal attitude lay the Pope’s faith, in which nature is the sign by which God speaks and also a the nature is a mediator connecting God and man. Developing the concept of man’s dominion in nature, Pope presented the Franciscan ideal of the brotherhood of man and nature, and a model of human participation in the harmonious order of the universe. Pope John Paul II called humanity to environmental activities and sustainable development in order to stop the rate of the devastation of the natural environment and taking these activities as the most important challenges of today’s humanity. It should be noted that in the case of the pontificate of John Paul II’s papal ordinary teaching gained new forms and dimensions. The observations in this paper represent a small piece in the analysis of the place and the importance of nature in the teaching of John Paul II issues, which is an extremely rich source of all kinds of considerations. Taking into account the place of nature in the study of John Paul II a major role in promoting the Pope’s teachings can play tourist Pope trails, plaques, contests, eco-festivals, tourism and sports events, foundations, ecological organizations and institutions, media, attractive websites . For many years papal documents from the period of the pontificate of John Paul II will be the source of analysis and scientific inquiry. However, the foundation of all is probably the basic truth that praised our great Pope – Countryman, saying that the creation of man’s relation to nature should be the result of the respect for God as the creator.

The society of knowledge is made an object of investigation by many contemporary authors. Its basic characteristics, however, were captured by Radovan Richta as long ago as the 1960’s. Richta was one of the first theoreticians to point out that know¬ledge, and the all-round development of man, is becoming an economic factor. In his pioneering conception, Richta was inspired by Marx, who analysed the basic principles of the society of knowledge as far back as the second half of the nineteenth century. The author interprets Marx’s conception with a special emphasis on the contradictions which appear between the demands of the all-round developed person and that of the capitalist economy. In conclusion, the author formulates the thesis that the contemporary society of knowledge is a society of fluid alienation in which knowledge acquires an alienated character.

Celami artykułu było po pierwsze sprawdzenie, czym są we współczesnym świecie zakupy dla mieszkańca dużego miasta, czy zmieniło się postrzeganie czynności zakupowych, a po drugie identyfikacja osób, które traktują wypady do centrów handlowych jako formę spędzania czasu wolnego. W dobie powszechnego „konsumpcjonizmu” i pojawienia się w dużych miastach kompleksów handlowo-rozrywkowych (centrów handlowych) należy baczną uwagę zwrócić na nowe pokolenie konsumentów, dla których wypady do centrów handlowych nie są tylko obowiązkiem zrobienia zakupów, ale stały się formą spędzania czasu wolnego.

The paper focuses on the phenomenon of free time or leisure time in retirement, as these phrases are often perceived as equivalents in public discourse in European space. Research shows, however, that in reality, the life of people in retirement is filled with various activities that usually do not have to be classified as leisure activities. In line with the concept of third age as an age of fulfilment, the concept of active or successful ageing and the concept of busy ethics, the paper deals with the way how people obtain different roles when they do not have to, but they still do. The choices or decisions about retirement are undoubtedly influenced by the discussion of the right to leisure, the increasing value of leisure time and the re-evaluation of the value of work in personal and social life, on the one hand, and some pressure to continue to be beneficial to society and active on the other. The author concentrates on how the sketched discussion is reflected by a group of people who, especially in the European environment, are becoming due to the demographic development more and more numerous – the oldest generation in society. They are confronted with two different attitudes at the opposite end of the value spectrum. The empirical basis for the study is qualitative research based on ethnographic interviews with pre-retirement and retired people in nowadays Slovakia, with a specific theme on preparing for retirement and living in retirement, as well as the results of several focus groups with this group of people.

Przedmiotem badań jest problematyka sposobów spędzania wolnego czasu przez młodzież w wieku od 14 do 16 lat, która pochodzi z odmiennych środowisk wychowawczych. Celem badawczym jest natomiast określenie roli, jaką odgrywa środowisko wychowawcze w procesie przygotowania do racjonalnego spędzania wolnego czasu przez młodzież. Materiał empiryczny opracowania stanowią dane uzyskane w wyniku badań przeprowadzonych w czerwcu 2009 roku w Publicznym Gimnazjum w Dąbrowie Tarnowskiej oraz w Pogotowiu Opiekuńczym w Tarnowie. Ogółem przebadano 63 osoby w wieku od 14 do 16 lat, w tym 32 uczniów gimnazjum i 31 wychowanków pogotowia opiekuńczego. Zbierając materiał empiryczny, zastosowano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego, w której narzędziem badawczym był kwestionariusz ankiety zachowań wolnoczasowych. Na podstawie analizy przeprowadzonych badań stwierdzono, że środowisko wychowawcze ma wpływ na miejsce spędzania wolnego czasu i wakacji oraz na częstość podejmowania aktywności ruchowej przez ankietowanych wychowanków. Badani gimnazjaliści spędzali swój wolny czas najczęściej w domu lub w obiektach sportowych, zaś wakacje na wczasach wypoczynkowych z rodzicami. Podwórko i dom to natomiast najczęstsze miejsca aktywności wolnoczasowej ankietowanych wychowanków pogotowia opiekuńczego, którzy swoje wakacje spędzali głównie w domu rodzinnym. Analizowane placówki wychowawcze nie odgrywały jednak dominującej roli w przygotowaniu swoich podopiecznych do korzystania z zinstytucjonalizowanych form zachowań wolnoczasowych oraz nie dostarczały im wystarczających umiejętności w zakresie samodzielnego zagospodarowania czasu wolnego.

The subject of the research work is the issue of methods of spending free time by young people aged from 14 to 16 years, which come from different educational backgrounds. The aim of the research is to determine the role played by the educational environment in the process of preparing to a rational spending of free time by young people. The empirical material of this paper is data obtained as a result of research conducted in June 2009 at the Public Junior High School in Dąbrowa Tarnowska and in the Kids Shelter in Tarnów. Overall, 63 persons aged from 14 to 16 were researched, including 32 junior high school students and 31 children from the kids shelter. Whilst collecting the empirical material, the method of diagnostic poll was used, in which the research tool was a questionnaire on free time behaviour. On the basis of the analysis of the performed research it was found that the educational environment influences the place of spending free time and holiday and the frequency of mobile activities by the questioned children. The researched junior high school students spent their free time mostly at home or in sport facilities, and holidays in holiday resorts with their parents. The yard and house were the most common places of free time activity of the surveyed kids shelter children, who most often spent their holidays at home. However, the analysed educational institutions did not play a dominant role in preparing their pupils to use institutionalised forms of free time behaviour and failed to provide them with sufficient abilities with respect to their independent management of free time.
