Nature and social consciousness. The threats posed by civilization and social awareness – local, regional and global dimensions

Abstract

We regard the process of shaping the ecological consciousness of society as particularly vital in considerations devoted to the natural environment and problems pertaining to protection of the latter. I am interested in young people’s ways of identifying local, regional and global threats. The lasting quality of young people’s sensitivity and the directing of youth towards pro-ecological values should be by all means exposed. The approval of various forms of group activity does not change the fact that the young generation does not participate in group activity. The whole article is thus arranged in such a way as to present considerations on social awareness and conditions connected with the possibility of the intentional creation of the former.
