Differences and Similarities. Religion and the Family in the Value Systems of the Polish, Czech and Slovak Societies

Urszula Swadźba

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to show the differences in value systems of the three neighboring nations. The value theory of Ronald Inglehart, which states that with the increase in welfare of the people there is a shift from materialistic to post‑materialistic values, was used in the research. Since 1990, there has been sociological studies carried out in third societies within the European Values Study based on this theory. The latest edition of survey results from 2008 was published in Slovakia and Czech Republic. At the same time the author conducted her research, using some of the questions of EVS. Research related to the values of work, family and religion. Firstly, the systems of values of both societies were presented, followed by religion as a value. In analyzing the family as the value, attention has been focused on two specific issues, the question of whether marriage is an outdated institution and the norms of marital and family morality. The analysis highlighted the similarities and differences of each of the values existing in the awareness of the three neighboring nations.
