Sounding research conducted in 1988 among the students of the University of Łódź shows that there is a marked dependence of religiousness upon attitudes of ones intimate life. The dependence is clearly visible when we compare the two extreme categories i.e. regularly practising Catholics (attending services every Sunday) and non-practising persons. In the group of devout Catholics merely 2 per cent of students have ever been ori the verge of comitting a suicide while in case of non-practising persons over 20 per cent. Practising Catholics enter their sexual life later; every second person has never had a sexual intercourse before (51% females and 41% males). In the case of persons who do not go to church these figures are much lower i.e. only 16 per cent have never had a sexual intercourse (18 per cent females and 14 per cent males). A vast majority of informants was of the opinion that abortion was inadmissible. However, only church-goings are definitely against abortion, wchich is the effect of the anti-abortion campaign led by the Roman-Catholic Church in Poland, while non-practisinq persons do not share this view. Non-practising informants smoke, drink alcohol and want to emigrate from Poland more frequently than the practising Catholics, do 8 per cent of practising and 36 per cent of non-practising students smoke habitually, while three thirds of the former and a half of the latter are non-smokers.

There is a vast scientific literature about the political power: historical, sociological, psychological, political sciences. However, not all the problems can be considered by using these notions and categories. The image of power depicted here is based on the intuition, sociological erudition, the historical-philosophical conceptions (by Tucidides, Machiavelli, Erasmus from Rotterdam, Pollard, Hegel, Tocqueville), and on writings of Shakespeare, Tolstoi, Sholokhov, France Kaden-Bandrowski, Feuchtwanger, Canetti, Kazantzakis, Marques, Tiendriakow. In this way I pay attention to the cognitive value of art, which mirrors the reality in the artistic-imagery forms. Power is an attribute of the human beings, animals and of plants’n world. The necessity of struggle stems from its character. This was emphasized particularly by Tucidides, Machiavelli and Shakespeare. From the nature of power results huge responsibility, solitude and dependence. Antoni Kępiński, Alexis de Tocqueville, Elias Canetti, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, among others, have written about these attributes. Not everyone then is suited to govern. One must be keen power and defeat the scruples. Besides, the politics not only attracts undignified people, but also demoralizes them.

The Slavic country, Kievan Rus was established by Swedish Vikings who were referred to as the Rus people or Variangans. The tribes who played a significant role in the history of Rus and Russia were the Teutonic peoples and Germans. For seven centuries (882–1598) the country was ruled by princes and tsars coming from the German chief, Rurik. Then for three centuries (1613–1917) the Romanovs ruled the country and for the last 155 years the German Oldenburg dynasty (Holstein-Gottorp). The Russian federation comprises 12.6% of lands, 42.4% of Europe and 28.4% of Asia. This is rather a continent than one of the countries of the world. And the problems they face are also continental ... One of the difficult natural challenges is definitely permafrost, which makes up 60% of Russia and 80% of Siberia. The other significant ones include social-political challenges: western (mainly American), Muslim, Far Eastern (mainly Chinese). Russia and the Russians are often associated with the mythical Sphinx which had a face of a woman, breast and paws of a lion, a tail of a snake and wings of an eagle. Thus the face of the nation can be the heroines from Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novels: Nastasja Filipowna Baraszkow, Agłaja Jepanczyn and Katarzyna, Liza, Achmakowa, Dunia. Their actual prototype was Apolinaria Susłowa. She was best characterized by Wasilij Rozanow. He wrote: „A very Russian type, however, I have never met such a Russian woman in my life. She has something of the Khylst Saint Mother of God or Catherine de Medici. She is wonderful, fascinating, but simultaneously cold-blooded and able to commit a crime. On the St. Bartholomew’s Day she would shoot the Huguenots as a sport”. Nothing more, nothing less….

The Chechens people are one of the indigenous populations in The Caucasus. Most likely they are Asianites. Theirs cradle was the mountainous-upland region of the southeast part of the Asiatic continent. First notifications about Chechen people originate from a 7th century. In 1801-1828 nearly entire The Caucasus has been joint to the Russian empire. In response, the Caucasian folks (including Chechen people) raised insurrections for liberation. The Chechens are the nation, for they have separate culture, language, senses of national identity along with uniqueness, and want to have their own state. They are the nation pride of ethnic origins, honour-sensitive, high-minded, smart, hospitable, excitable, brave, warlike, friendship highly appreciated, loving freedom and executing the law of the vendetta.

Long before the social thinkers, Shakespeare pointed out that the world around is a theater, while people are actors who gradually grow older and play distinct social roles. The allegoric representations emphasize in particular the age of adolescence and aging. The human being was shown in the pace of time. The destructive power of time manifests itself not only in the individuals biographies, but also in the record of social groups. Variety and transmutation in the panorama of humanity history are striking. The social forms are to characterize by the same lifetime cycles as animals and plants: they came into being, developed themselves, grow older and passing away. The most interesting artistic vision of that cyclical development is a Marquez novel A hundred years o f solitude. We can trace in there the time of birth, flourishing, the crisis and downfall of the Latin-American family and town. Similar cycles one can encounter in different epochs and regions of the world.

The basic assumption of the article is a thesis that the effectiveness of the socialist upbringing in the final account depends upon the way in which all institutions are operating daily. Pi*operly functioning economic, political, and other systems shape appropriate attitudes by themselves. On the other hand, the affects of evident evil on human awareness will not be compensated even by the best system of education. By the concept of the educational ideal of socialism the author means here historical changes in tho system of attitudes ensuring in given conditions a rapid social progress and comprehensive development of individuals. The ideal thus perceived is first revealed In actions of individuals and groups most engaged in construction of the sociopolitical system, and only then it is disseminated under influence of socializing and educational efforts. The educational ideal of socialism should be a personality fighting for justice, equality and freedom. The attitude of fight with the evil promotes social progress and is in line with the Marxist concept of happiness. In order to achieve the educational ideal of socialism it becomes necessary to fulfil the following four essential conditions: firstly - proper formulation of the ideal and its proper dissemination; secondly - creation of a system of stimuli, in accordance with which a conduct conforming to the ideal allows to obtain desirable values; thirdly - elimination of divergencies between ideals and practice in activities of institutions; fourthly - construction of a complementary educational system.

The present analysis is a report of an empirical study. Out of three most Important values, 67# of students chose "successful family life" in the first place. Second in the hierarchy of values was "health" - chosen by ca. half of the interviewed. Subsequent positions were taken up by "interesting job" and "loyal friends" (every third person); "clear conscience" and "great reciprocated love" (every fourth person); "life full of adventure and travel" (every fifth person). The thesis that it is a "materialist generation" finds no proof since only 17% chose material welfare, while many appreciated moral values. As many as 28% chose clear conscience (every third man, and every fifth woman). The interviewed students were not keen on power, fame or calm, quiet life. A large per cent of respondents (65%) are practicing believers in God. Nevertheless, their religiousness is emotional and traditional rather than reflective and moral. There exists no significant relation between religiousness and morality. There is evidence of serious crisis of faith in socialism and its capacities. Nevertheless, it is not a totally frustrated generation. In spite of the crisis ca. 60% of the respondents estimate their material situation as good or very good and an equal number regard themselves as happy, though the sense of happiness or unhappiness depends solely on health.

The article provides a sociological characteristic of teachers from the viewpoint of features placing this category in a wider social structure. The analysis encompasses also the degree of internal coherence of this category. It is but a fragment of more extensive analyses concerning the place of teachers in the society's macrostructure. The study reveals that teachers represent a socio-professional category, which is characterized with a specific structure of social features typical for the inteligentsia and here mainly in the area of the level of educational background and cultural consumption and, to a smaller extent, in the area of performed managerial functions (absence of expanded formal hierarchic structure in the education system) and income levels. They represent the most numerous professional category among the intelligentsia (not counting technicians). According to the estimates of the teachers themselves their social position is closest to that of civil officers, and it is estimated to be each lower than that of doctors, lawyers, and engineers. And oven though the teachers do not constitute an internally fully homogeneous category - the educational background proved to be a main dimension of differentiation - they display distinct features of a socio-professional group. This is confirmed among others by the observed strong tendency towards maintaining social and marital contacts within their own professional category, convergence of estimates as regards the socio-professional position held by them as well os observance of their own specific attitude to work or personality features. Summing it up the authors believe that teachers may constitute along with other professional categories a sociological unit of studies on the social structure.
