Summary/Abstract: Economic success is just one of the aspects of human activity and one of elements that makes up the value which is his freedom. Liberties and values on which Europe is based upon cannot exist in a form different than the form to which we are accustomed and in which we brought up. Preserving the values can be done only through recognition of the primacy of ethics and human. Progress, economics or politics cannot become a substitute for the values of the man of today and the man of future. Ethics requires adjusting systems to the requirements of realizing man himself, and humanity which is exposed to the process of globalization is forced to create a new common code of ethics. Europe, if wanting to keep its Position in the surrounding world, must be aware of their roots, history, culture and values that have shaped it.
