Aspirations of students of universities in Bydgoszcz in aspect of Poland's accession to the European Union

Abstract

The anxiety for cultural, social and economic development of our country, as well as increasing requirements of the social and economic life made the problem of the youth’s ambitions important. The aspirations concerning their future are extremely significant when young people plan their lives. Devoid of clear ideas for the nearest and further future, the youth is unable to define and all the more to realize its own life, education and occupational ambitions. Therefore aspirations play an essential role justifying and having a decisive effect on young people’s life plans and the ways of their realization.The present study attempts to diagnose the level of aspirations of the Bydgoszcz students in the aspect of Poland’s accession to the European Union. The research on the students’ aspirations is of particular meaning as they are the part of the society that will form its elites soon.
