Model organizacji życia zbiorowego a więzi wspólnotowe

Abstract

Human social life goes in frame of organized social wholes. Those wholes, according to Norbert Elias proposition, we can call social units of survival. Character of indicated wholes was changing together with the development of humanity. In the beginning survival was assured in a group of closely related individuals. Later on the same function performed different forms of state organization. Some claim today that today such a survival unit is or will be the whole humanity. In a group of relatives members were connected with personal bonds. In a structure of identity dominating character had we-identity. Along with the development raises also the role of bonds connected with associations, which were established to realize various goals and social identity becomes more and more I-identity. As rightly noticed Ralf Dahrendorf – collective character of human species requires community bonds, which are necessary to realize fulfilling life. Then it is a matter worth reflection the relation between changing models of organiazation of collective life and their ability to provide satisfying community bonds. Some manners of organization the community life are more and some are less favourable to preservation of community bonds. Especially threatening for this preservation are organization models of community life, which are extremely collectivistic or individualistic. For a preservation of appropriate community bonds there is a need for such a model of social life, in which individual and group actors will find, in a given space of security and resistance, field to practise autonomic individual and group behaviours.
