Lifestyle - the scope and forms of everyday behaviors of individuals
or groups, specific to their social position, manifesting social position
and perceived as characteristic of this location, and thus enabling
the wider social location of other people. This concept includes
not only human behavior, but also the psychophysical mechanisms
underlying these behaviors: human motivations, needs, accepted values.
or groups, specific to their social position, manifesting social position
and perceived as characteristic of this location, and thus enabling
the wider social location of other people. This concept includes
not only human behavior, but also the psychophysical mechanisms
underlying these behaviors: human motivations, needs, accepted values.
From a sociological point of view, lifestyle is a way of life characteristic
of different social classes, for different layers and groups. The individual
way of life is then a representation of preferences, habits
and group behaviors.
From the psychological point of view, the lifestyle is presented
as a way of experiencing, organizing life rooted in its conscious
and subconscious development, as well as in its temperament. This
is a concept introduced to psychology by Alfred Adler and concerns
an individual, specific to a given man's way of life: all motives,
qualities, interests, values, behavior, way of perceiving the world
and reacting on him.
From a philosophical point of view, the lifestyle is the closest
to the concrete one and the real experience of the people.
Point of view
It is a sign, a certificate of belonging to a given group, and by it creates
a sense of ties with others, provides individuals with the possibility
of social self-identification, contributes to this to their sense
of security.
It isolates a given group from a wider community, contributes
to the durability of this group, its continuity, despite
the exchangeability of individual units that make it up.
It contributes to the sense of the sense of one's own behavior
in everyday life; it ensures the possibility of expressing the personality
of individuals in a socially acceptable way.

A lifestyle oriented towards people: it is not important here, how a functioning individual experiences
in his own existence the content of his actions; the most important thing becomes like the people to whom
the actions are directed, they experience their effects
(eg doctors who treat the ill as a mission of their lives).

A world-oriented lifestyle: it is directed towards objective reality, to the tasks of its maintenance
or transformation, to the problems that need
to be solved, to values. Life is not considered
as a material for one's own biography or as a service
or transformation, to the problems that need
to be solved, to values. Life is not considered
as a material for one's own biography or as a service
or a sacrifice for others. It is experienced as a chore

our life is organized as deliberate and consistent
action leading to the implementation of intentions.

It was shaped under the influence of space,
what intelligence occupied in the social division of labor. Among the values determining the intellectual lifestyle, education occupies a leading place
In Poland, the bourgeoisie was not as strongly educated as in other countries. The work
was presented as a value not only instrumental, leading to individual benefits, but also as a social task.

Consumer lifestyle
Postmodernity entangled man in material dependencies
and the circle of generating new needs, which results
in the constantly emerging consumerism. In the world
in which consumption prevails, knowledge also changes, becomes something "for sale". Awareness of "being"
and functioning in the world and structures became permanent an important element of shaping identity.

of life. indicates to the open nature of human activities

and the specific hybridity of the structures and ties
he creates and styles. Consumer society is convinced that
in order to achieve or maintain an appropriate social status,
it is necessary to acquire the right number of goods that will testify about it. And the object of consumption can become almost anything.
Polish version of the middle class
Although many respondents now admit to high expenses,
at least half of them are characterized by perseverance
in "earning up", investing, and postponing consumption. Everyone is equally characterized by readiness
to exhaustive work, which is the biggest competition
for participation in culture, despite the fact that many respondents express a longing for him. Based on the life strategy prevailing here (heavy, exhausting work, "struggle"
with the market, saving money), the studied group
can be metaphorically defined as the representatives
of the "class on the achievements". one can also talk about
the emergence or resurgence of the capitalist ethos of work, that is, honest, hard work, performed with full dedication,
which is a source of high income, but also a measure of human value. A new portrait of a man with high qualifications
and diligent education is being shaped.
Polish Underclass variety
The research shows that many features of the emerging Underclass resemble the former lifestyle of the proletariat understood as understood by the conceptof Florian Znaniecki, who emphasized especially the lack of education, qualifications, devotion to the authority of the protector, unwillingness
to act independently and thinking. Lack of access
to broadly understood institutions of collective life condemns
to isolation and displaces from public space, and when entire communities are affected by poverty, this state strongly modifies the face of Polish localities. Particular attention is paid to isolation from consumption, strongly related to the situation
of unemployment. Recent research suggests that some people suffer from chronic lack of time - with high incomes, others with very low incomes - have free time.

Transforming lifestyles in Poland
The analysis of the image of singles in Polish media shows that singles
they are presented as young people living alone in large cities.
They are people without a permanent partner, above-average educated, with high incomes, proud of their position, doing "professional career".
Most often, these people are described as representatives of liberal professions: artists, journalists, employees of large corporations, owners of companies who "usefrom life "
on weekends, do extreme sports and go abroad tour.

Singles have more time than people with a family. They spend their
time on weekends to meet friends or to a large extent friends,
although they are also often taken during the week participation
in social meetings.
