Abstrakt: Bialystok city center presently undergoes a strong transformation, but there is a long process of transforming this area to the city salon. Activities leading to create real city center in Bialystok must be recognized in two ways. Firstly, there are authoritative planned operations of municipal authorities and planners, who decide about concrete form which discussed area has to adopt (city center creation). However, area is also created in the spontaneous manner by it’s users. It’s inhabitants decide if concrete place is visited by them willfully, or if it becomes rather “an avoided area”. Citizens by staying in concrete area and using this space cause that it is pounding life, and so it becomes important element of city landscape (city centre self-creation). So, the knowledge of citizens’ attitude to this part of a city – their estimates, opinions and expectations is very important. The observation of the area of central Bialystok inclines for putting a question if there is a compact and historically formed center in this city. In opinion of inhabitants, among whom research was made, the capitol of Podlaskie Voivodeship has that kind of area. However, it has to be told that inhabitants didn’t described it unequivocal. So, it can be acknowledged that Bialystok center is extensive and does not have compact (tight) character, which most important institutions would be concentrated at and in which most important processes of social lives would cross. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/21302 Tytuł: Ciało, konsumpcja i sukces Autorzy: Pruskus, Valdas Abstrakt: In article is discussed in various manners being cherished the perfect body in consumer society as the way to success phenomenon.

First part of this study contains basic theories and understanding of stereotypes, which affect social interactions. National stereotypes can provide some information about a culture, but they do not describe people. In fact, unfavorable stereotypes of national or ethnic groups are potentially very dangerous, forming the bases for prejudice, discrimination, persecution, or even genocide. Second part of the article is based upon research. Author describes national stereotypes that occur between four national groups in Bialystok (Polish, Byelorussian, Lithuania and Ukrainian). Conclusions of this research is that the region is not free of negative national stereotypes and behaviours. People should learn and understand that we are all prone to these kinds of preconceptions and likely to believe that they are justified by our experience, when in fact they are often unfounded stereotypes. We need to remind ourselves to see people as individuals, whether they are Polish, Lithuanian or Byelorussian.
