Summary/Abstract: In many scientific discussions about youth attitudes in political or public sphere we don’t notice results of change of youth’s way of life. However, we have to spot that the new model of everyday life eliminates politics and different political problems, because they don’t present themselves as attractive issues. Politics is placed very low in value hierarchy of young people. They are passive on a political arena during their free time. Politics is not so frequent a topic of conversations with family or friends. In the article the author presents data to prove his point that appreciable part of young Europeans (especially young Poles) prefers „depoliticized” way of life.
