Summary/Abstract: The questions of this paper are twofold: how the social development – i.e. the general and contradictory evolution of society – affects the ordinary people and what these ones could do towards the objective and exterior process of development. Would be worthwhile inquiring into the problem of ordinary man since we all are influenced by the mixture where the cliché of man as every human person mastering the being tends to be surpassed by the victorious belief of the merit that solely would lead this mastering? It certainly is, and a first level of analysis deals just with the revisit of some ideologies, while at the second level, the focus on the position of the ordinary man within the social development aims at challenging the interrogations about the change of this position.
