WOLONTARIAT – MOTYWY DZIAŁANIA

Abstrakt

Summary
The main issue I take in this article is to find the answer to this question: why some members
of our society (society, who is addicted to consumerism) are able to help another selflessly?
Who are they, what motivates them? Why in the world, where the most important thing is the
pursuit of wealth, there is a large group of people, who finds time for reflection and selfless
help? Perhaps there are some personality traits, catholic ethics or socialization, which teach
us empathy? It could be a lot of reasons why people decided to be a volunteer. I am going to
find the common features, which connect those people.
Key words: consumerism, generosity, volunteer, motivations, altruism.
