Social advertising, which appeared in Poland after 1989, plays a crucial role in processes of social communication. Although it is still immature, it is becoming a vital element of education of the Polish society. Existence of mass social movements enables articulation of the issues that have been so far a social taboo. The article is an attempt to define a new research field in sociology, involved with social advertising.

Industrial society and powers which controlled that society are no more. Instead, there is a Seanet and an Empire, a new form of web power, which strives to control it by producing symbols, needs and identities. Through its agency - a rapidly weakening state - the Empire pushes the Seanet into the cage of post-privacy. In the post-private society the distinction between the private and public disappears which leads to the subordination of emotions to a new refined digital form of control. It is possible to escape from the overwhelming post-private control - through the nephemerides (new noninstitutional forms of net social life), desertion, and positive trolling. The text should be placed in the theoretical model that - out of lack of alternatives - might be called evolutionary net neomarxism.

This article analyses (mainly theoretical) the implications of contemporary social changes due to feminization of global migration and the strategy of transnational mothering for the dominant discourse of mothering in Poland. Many macroeconomic and global factors set the stage for these kinds of parenting arrangements (Parrenas:2005) but migration of such unprivileged groups, challenge the middle class ideal of co-resident family and the ideal of intensive mothering. First, the authoress describes the transnational (mothering) phenomenon and the first reaction to it as shown in both public discourses and actions of public institutions in Poland, which are similar to moral panics (Cohen). Such features can be found while analyzing discourses about 'Euro-orphans' (such a label is given to migrants' children) that have absorbed public discourses in the first period 2007/2008 in Poland. Next, she will explore the relations between the said moral panics and what she is trying to show - the absence of transnational approaches in public practices. Thus, she relates to various global and local contexts: as feminization of global migration, care chains, local Polish culture, historical perspectives on mothering, etc. She proposes to treat institutional definition of families and gender-based parental roles as important evidence of insufficient understanding of qualities of contemporary social change forced by migrations and mobile societies with which families have to deal with. The authoress explores here also the concept of territoriality which is embedded in public ideals of 'good/proper' mothering and the concept of transnational mothering.

A law not only reflects the existing social situation but also plays an important role when the situation changes. The law manifests itself in its conservative aspects, its innovative effects on the social relationships, in the actions taken by social institutions and in the course of social processes. It acts as an independent and dependent variable of social change in society; it is both the cause and the result of a social change. The legal tools of social change legitimize the ongoing social changes and help to enforce them via the authority of law. In the postmodern society with a pluralizing social structure and the growing normative and value-related plurality, law contributes and supports the minimum normative and value-related consensus of society. The law’s regulative, integrative and innovative functions have become necessary in the postmodern society. The increasing complexity of a social life and the need to restore legitimacy of the political system contribute to replacing the executive power with hypertrophy of legislative tools. In the process of post-modernization, law not only reflects and affirms social changes in society but it also becomes more and more important tool of social change.

Recognising the close interrelationships between social change and paradigm shifts, this article contributes to an interpretation of conceptual change in the study of borders. While borders continue to have considerable relevance today, we need to revisit them in light of their constantly changing historical, political, and social contexts, grasping their shifting and undetermined nature in space and time. The article underlines the multilevel complexity of borders – from the geopolitical to the level of social practice and cultural production at and across the border at different levels and, thus, not only along the dividing lines of nation-state sovereignties. It seeks to make a constructive contribution to debate within border studies by encouraging a productive understanding of the processual, deterritorialised, and dispersed nature of borders and their ensuring regimes in the era of globalisation and transnational flows, as well as showcasing border research as an interdisciplinary field with its own academic standing. Adopting the borderscapes concept as a central organising element, this article advocates for a relational approach to borders which takes into account complementary perspectives that consider the interaction between political visions and everyday socio-cultural practices, as well as social representations and artistic imaginaries.

The purpose of the article is to analyse Immanuel Wallerstein's approach towards social change and to compare it with the concept of macrosocial change in modernization theories. The main thesis proposed by the authoress is that although Immanuel Wallerstein declares that perception of social change as framed by the 'ahistorical models' (such bias being typical of modernization theories) should be abandoned, he nevertheless advances a model which is equally ahistorical..

Popular convictions as to character of Japanese culture are dominated by the orientalist stereotypes that include self-contradicting images of a society that is traditional and at the same time modern and technology-based. The ambiguous portrait of Japan seems to a certain extent justied, if one takes into account the transformation that took place throughout the 20th century and which gave rise to a new model of culture that was shaped thanks to a unique combination of various elements, both native and foreign. I am planning to focus on the impact of the mass media on the awareness and an everyday life of the Japanese people. Besides, I am going to consider the extent as to which the new environment has been transformed by the information revolution. For my research I shall use the contemporary cinema which perfectly reflects cultural issues of the nation in the process of the vehement social change, and which shows the hopes and fears of the future.

In recent years democracy in South America has been challenged by many socio-political crises. One of the reactions to this system strain is the movement of 'piqueteros' that emerged in Argentina mainly as a response to poverty, unemployment and inequality. The paper seeks to give some possible explanations for the rapid growth and present significance of this social movement. It also shows the structural and socio-political correlations that contributed to the success of the 'piqueteros', who without any institutional resources or political clout have become a powerful political actor. The case of the 'piqueteros' may be an example of an effective mobilization of the latent and excluded groups of society who despite their apparent passivity can constitute an important element of social change.

Young Michael Bakunin came from Priamuchin, Russia's heartland, into the mid-nineteenth century Western Europe's revolutionary scene and left an indelible trace in history. Europe brimming with social change, seemed to be ready for that seeker of new ideas: cultural, philosophical, religious, later the indomitable writer, propagandist and organizer of revolutionary upheavals one of the leader of what can be described in short as the counterculture of his times. The interest in Bakunin's ideas, later known as the founder of anarchism, and his tumultuous life, seem to be insatiable. Libraries of book were written about him, to mention only the latest trilogy by Tom Stoppard. To the authoress to read a new book about Bakunin, especially one coming form Poland, where he used to be almost a taboo for many years, held a special fascination.

This paper deals with the subject of social innovations and their application in social practice. It attempts to conceptualize social innovations within theories on the modernization of the society. It is based on a sociological understanding of social innovation as a source of social change and modernization as an example of social change. The importance of social innovations rises with the high dynamism of changes in late modern society, and with the growth of its structural and cultural differentiation, which diversifies, differentiates, individualizes man's social world. Social context has influenced a modified understanding of innovation not only as a tool and source of economic productivity and competitiveness, but also as a potential tool for achieving social goals and social cohesion in society. The social dimension puts more significance on the positions and roles of social actors as vehicles of innovation. The solution to social problems and increasing the ability of social actors to participate in the solution process has become an important condition for sustainable economic growth. The author defines criteria of social innovation and conditions for their practical application.

The article focuses on the changes in the determination of educational aspirations that took place in the Czech Republic during its social, political and economic transformation. The aim of the article is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the changes in the stratification system after 1989, which were significantly influenced by changes in the causal mechanisms behind the formation of educational aspirations. Those changes in the determinants of educational aspirations were themselves largely driven by the expansion of economic returns to education and thus the increasing significance of education for life success. The empirical research is based on a comparison of data from the 'Family '89' (Rodina '89) survey conducted in January 1989 and the Czech module of the longitudinal survey PISA-L 2003. The analyses were carried out with the hypothesis that the social origin of the background family had a much stronger direct impact on the educational aspirations of adolescents in 1989, while in 2003 social origin had a much stronger indirect influence. The stronger direct impact in 1989 was due to the very limited access to higher education under socialism and the role higher education played in the reproduction of the cultural elite. But with the gradual expansion of, and the rapidly increasing returns to, higher education during the transition period, social origin began to have a largely indirect effect on aspirations, particularly through the value pupils began to place on higher education as a means of ensuring a higher degree of life success. The authors' empirical findings confirm the hypothesis about the change from direct to indirect effects and highlight the importance of researching educational aspirations from a historical point of view and in the context of social change.

This article examines the economic and social transformation occurring in post-communist societies, with a particular focus on the emergence of new social risks (NSRs) and the subsequent welfare state responses. It argues that Central and Eastern European countries are characterised by broader NSR types (a mix of old and new social risks) and groups than those present in the West. In order to deal more effectively with the requirements of the post-industrial, knowledge-based, and service economy, the reasons for a new political economy of skill formation and for a new empowering politics of the welfare state capable of strengthening the potential of individuals to adapt to more flexible labour markets are discussed. The new empowering politics of the welfare state proposed here would consist of four main pillars: 1) a guaranteed minimum income; 2) a basic income for children; 3) state investments for education and human capital formation; and 4) a guaranteed basic pension. The aim is to empower the individual through decommodification, childhood investment, human capital formation, and a rebalancing of life risks. The article concludes by reflecting on the political feasibility of this proposal.

In 2010 the Institute of Ethnology of the Slovak Academy of Science achieved the research project to measure the influence of religious missions toward the social inclusion of Roma in Slovakia- the SIRONA Project (Social Inclusion of the Roma by the Religious Pathway). In the beginning we think about methodological approaches of studying subjective perceptions of social change. Later we try to identify the mechanisms influencing the effectiveness/ the ineffectiveness of social change, among others mostly the importance of pastoral discourse and its potential to be pro-exclusive, or pro-inclusive. At the same time we tried to explain this phenomenon from the perspective of social theories of social capital, social networks and social bonds. We come up with the conclusion that religious change has very strong potential to bring about social change which apparently can lead also to social inclusion.

The article discusses the relationship between sociology and history in three steps. The first part compares the opinions of researchers who believe that the dividing line between sociology and history should be transcended (Giddens, Abrams) and those who fundamentally disagree with this view (Goldthorpe). The second part looks back in time to show the reciprocal ties between history and sociology as they gradually grew apart and then drew closer again, leading to the emergence of historical (comparative) sociology. The third part deals with the subject of social change, which is viewed as a key problem in historical sociology, and is also seen as an area of research where sociology and history should join forces to address social issues.

The aim of this paper is to show how the theory of an active society by Amitai Etzioni can provide a theoretical framework for the study of innovation processes - in particular social innovation, which is generally defined here as the implementation of a new social practice aimed at solving social problems and/or meeting social needs. An active society is a society in which collectivities (social groups) have the potential to articulate values and needs, to participate in consensus building processes and decision processes, to develop organisational structures and to realise values through collective social action. This paper discusses the general differentiation and interrelation between culture, structure and agency which is the fundament of the theory of an active society and additionally presents a systematisation which combines these domains with the 'elements' (consciousness, commitment, knowledge, power) and 'processes' (consensus building, mobilisation, decision making, control/guidance) that Etzioni perceives as the main dimensions of the active orientation. This systematisation can be seen as an adaptation of Etzioni's theory which tries to make the interrelation between different theoretical dimensions more explicit.

This paper discusses how Indira Mahindra’s The End Play (1995) represents the effect of social change on women’s ideology and the society surrounding the sequential female generations – the grandmother, the mother, and granddaughter. Hence, each female character represents a different model, thereby representing its own ideology and social position. The paper also explores the effect of social change in relation to issues such as marriage, work, women’s rights, divorce, betrayal, women’s virginity, and the stereotypical images of women – all of which are related to Indian Feminism. However, before embarking on this discussion, it is vital for this critical investigation to identify the concept of ideology, and feminist theories and movements in India.

The research tests a modernization model (Welzel et al. 2003; Inglehart – Welzel 2009; 2010) applied to post-socialist societies in comparison with West European countries. The linear decomposition analysis of integrated World Values Survey (waves WVS1994-1999, WVS1999-2004, WVS2005-2007) and European Values Study (waves EVS1999-2001, EVS2008-2010) data showed that Inglehart’s socialization hypothesis (Inglehart 1990), which is related to a fundamental emancipative shift in values, was true for both selected West European and post-socialist countries with minor exceptions. However, the study demonstrates that the observed variability in value change in different countries in Europe is due to specific country-level contextual effects and not the population turnover. This finding confronts the assumption of exclusiveness of socialization against historical period in forming value orientations. Nevertheless the study supports in part the tested modernization model and proves that post-socialist societies (including Post-soviet) can follow a path of development which is similar to advanced Western Europe if the economic security increases.

The ICCS 2009 international research project is focused on how young people in various countries prepare to fulfil their civil roles in the 21st Century. This study consists of research on the knowledge and attitudes of 14-year-old Slovak pupils (a sample of 2970 respondents) towards Europe and the European Union. The goal was to find answers to the following two questions: “What do Slovak pupils know about Europe and the European Union?“ and “What is the attitude of Slovak pupils toward Europe and the European Union?“ Slovak pupils’ knowledge highly surpasses the international average. The attitude of Slovak pupils to Europe and the European Union is very open. They are interested in EU affairs and appreciate the EU's contribution to the development of Slovak society in all of the areas measured. Slovak youth is optimistic about the challenges of European integration related to the debt crisis in some EU member states and about the united currency stability after 2010, mainly thanks to the outcomes achieved in 2009 resulting from Slovakia's membership in the EU.
