| Summary: | The article attempts to present – on the basis of relevant literature – the explicit strategies of adaptation to social change, on the example of the Polish society/nation. The hereby reflections are of theoretical character. They refer to the consequences of social changes taking place in Poland as well as the youth adaptation processes in the context of changing reality. The youth is presented in the context of their life orientations, existential anxiety, reevaluations and attitudes displayed with reference to the adaptation strategies described in the literature on the subject. The identification of the determinants for the conditions which promote the social manifestation of either active or passive attitudes is an attempt to stress the informative role of education in initiating both realistic and creative forms of adaptive behavior that should result in the individual’s need to challenge the reality. What is most important, however, is that adaptation to social change becomes [by itself] a stimulant for the development of a young human being. |
