Zrównoważone style życia - ujęcie teoretyczne

Abstract

In a globalized world a chosen, by an individual or a group, lifestyle does not make a constatnt element of existance, but just an option, that might be picked on the basis of social situation, historical moment or geographical placement. Depending on the fact how deep it is rooted in a recognised value system it may form a less or more permament shape of everyday life. This rule refers also to lifestyles defined as sustainable or ecological ones. The process of their creation is linked to a deeper reflection on what we buy, how we consume and how we organize our everyday activities. It also depends on a social and cultural capital of groups and individuals. In their analysis, a reflection on dependence between social and class location of people and a quality of natural environment they live in appears. A lifestyle, among others, includes such dimensions of everyday life as: level and character of consumption, ways of spending free time, character of social contacts or activities connected with health care and wellness. In the following text chosen aspects of the above are discussed.
