Summary/Abstract: The problem of modern society is that it does not integrate its members into functionalsystems as a collectivity of individuals with a sense of community and interdependence, butmakes them a group of consumers who want to achieve success on their own and for theirown benefits. However, not everyone is able to achieve the desired goal. As a result, we havesocial inequalities that significantly affect relationships and social processes.For many years, economists and sociologists have pointed to the fact that economicsuccess does not necessarily translate into welfare (or quality of life) of societies. They eventalk about the “breakdown of society” phenomenon, i.e., an increase in antisocial behaviourand a loss of a sense of community. In the current social reality, we can identify many examplesof the fact that their fears are justified. All this makes the need for educational measures tostop or even reverse these phenomena threatening social cohesion seem reasonable.
