Abstract
Security is essential for every society and stands for the basic need of a human being and social development. At the time of globalisation and computerisation, security is closely related to knowledge. A contemporary person is a witness to and a participant of civilization acceleration, in which knowledge and access to it play a major role. Information nowadays facing a global change becomes, on the one hand, a factor of growth; on the other hand, it assumes new forms of threat.The reform of the Polish Armed Forces and its transformation have extorted a new look on the preparation of soldiers to fulfil their tasks and duties. These days security ought to be considered not only as a military matter, since ethical, ecological issues along with opposing economic interests and socio-cultural and ubiquitous terrorism pose a great threat. As well as this, the army ought to adjust to playing new roles and the evaluation of real and potential threats should determine the programme of soldier education along with the creation and promotion of the right attitude in the Polish society.
