Perwersyjni, konsumpcyjni, narcystyczni, źli? O wybranych przyczynach zachowań dewiacyjnych i przemian seksualności ludzi młodych
The perverted, consumptionist, narcissistic and evil? On the selected causes of deviant behavior and the transformation of sexuality of young people

Summary/Abstract: Since 1995, Polish sociologists and psychologists have observed a noticeable growth of aggressive and risk behaviors of adolescent girls and significant changes in sexual behavior of adolescent boys. The paper is an attempt of a sociological analysis of the factors hypothetically responsible for social changes in sexual morality and sexual folkways of young Poles. The paper also indicates accessible data for all of these factors. Amongst the latter, we find: 1) a growing income gap in the Polish society, 2) the sexualization of childhood, 3) the materialistically-oriented media content, 4) the formation of gimnazjum (middle school), 5) the new media and easily accessible pornography, and 6) new patterns of behavior of young boys and girls in metropolitan peer groups.
