Współczesne uwarunkowania Autorzy: Gieorgica, J. Paweł Abstrakt: Global Migration – a flow of people across borders – is of great importance both for the development of international relations and economic growth as well as labor market and poverty reduction. Little attention is paid to the fact that it affects countries, traditionally produced migration, and destination. The article is based on the latest statistics and social research on Polish emigration. According to the definition of the American Dream by James Truslow Adams: life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement regardless of social class or circumstances of birth, Poles like to emigrate to the United States. The author focuses on: Polish emigrants to the United States of America – the country most desired by all immigrants in the world. In the article special attention is given to the context of sociological and economic emigration. The picture of Polish diaspora in the United States is changing rapidly. New Polish emigrants are more educated and more focused on their career in the United States. They are also better adapted to the needs of professionals seeking jobs in the U.S. labor market. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/2591 Tytuł: Znaczenie religijności w życiu prywatnym nauczycieli Autorzy: Krysztofik-Gogol, Elżbieta Abstrakt: The text contains fragments of research results conducted within the framework of the project about dimensions of teachers’ religiousness (in Bialystok). Methodological conception of research was based on the diagnostic procedure and the triangulation strategy of methods and sources. In the quantitative orientation two research tools were used: The Santa Clara Strength of Religious Faith Questionnaire (T.G. Plante, M. Boccaccini) and Dimensions of the Religiousness Questionnaire (E. Krysztofik-Gogol). The biographical method with the semi-structured interview was used in the quality research orientation. Religiousness appears to a different degree and in a different way in teachers’ life. In the individual aspect of teachers’ life, religiousness constitutes a strong source of support in making important decisions and religious coping strategy. In the family life of examined teachers religiousness is connected with religious traditions and constitutes the element of educational influences. A social dimension of religiousness in teachers’ life is connected with tolerance shown to people of different faith.

As a spiritual community it can exist independently of the territory and state organization, it is historically variable, its existence is determined by culture that encompasses the entire work of a nation, all material- technical, intellectual, artistic and aesthetic products as well as a language and other symbols as means of communication, all patterns of behaviour and actions, values and ideals (freedom, justice, honor) and standards arising from them. National culture, customs, religious worship, beliefs and ideals of national historical tradition are shared values and national groups are potentially available to all members of the group. “The principle of separateness” of a nation as a cultural group is shared culture. In democratic conditions of the Third Republic of Poland circumstances for the functioning and development of various types of societies based on the criteria of identity were created. In accordance with F. Znaniecki’s intention, national and ethnic groups can develop national culture or pursue shared cultural ideals. The article is an attempt to answer the question: "To what extent are the ideas of F. Znaniecki’s national society implemented in the Third Republic of Poland?" Referring to the literature, the author presents the ideas of F. Znaniecki’s national society, selected institutions and national organizations operating in the Third Republic of Poland. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/2589 Tytuł: Zmiana normy prawnej a proces instytucjonalizacji przekraczania granicy państwowej Autorzy: Dąbrowski, Michał Abstrakt: On the basis of a four year long observation at a border crossing point the author will explain the process of institutionalization in specific conditions where social order has been destroyed. The objective of the new law is to restrict the activity of people who use Polish–Belarusian border crossing points and the main purpose of this paper is to show how their behaviors have been influenced by these changes. The behaviors observed during the research explain how a new type of social order can be created, and the author will focus on nine stages which form the process of institutionalization. Expressions such as social action, knowledge, institution and social world are used in a theoretical context. The empirical material gathered during the research is then compared with the discussed theoretical concepts. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z
