YOUNG PEOPLE’S ATTITUDE TOWARDS VOLUNTEERING, WORK AND LEISURE TIME

Summary/Abstract: The article endeavors to actualize the aspect of volunteering, the attitude of younger generations towards working and leisure time from the sociological and pedagogical points of view. The attitude towards volunteering is the same as the attitude towards work – it is of a dual character, which is a consequence of dualism of values – explicit and implicit. Work in itself is neither educationally encouraging nor is it of odious nature. Publicly, the majority expresses a positive attitude both towards work and volunteering, but privately another opinion prevails, a striving to earn money without working, even if it involves breaking the laws. Plenty of boredom and lack of ambition are by some called a new sin of young people even in the segment of leisure time activities. When work is not appreciated enough, this (also) explains the indifference of individuals towards volunteering. In order to change the attitude towards volunteering it is necessary to attempt to change the attitude towards work. If volunteering is instrumentalized, the possibility of a true affirmation of human ideals is diminished.
