Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article, entitled „The attitude of young Poles towards values after political transformation”, is to describe the attitude of a part of young generation towards moral categories after the political transformation of 1989. The author discusses selected stories printed in „Gazeta Wyborcza” describing individual heroes who create an image of a collective protagonist and focuses on ethics and the analysis of some specific aspects of their lives. Three types of contexts (psychological, social and cultural) were used to find universal meanings that result from the interpretation of individual experiences. The genre of analysed text is a story with a social meaning that presents a part of the young, post-transformation generation. These stories fit the metacultural discourse of the article, especially that related to existential and axiological crisis in the post-transformation period.
