THE DIFFICULTIES IN IMPLEMENTING SOCIAL INTERVENTIONS IN THE COMMUNITIES OF FOREIGNERS IN POLAND

Journal Title: Journal of Education Culture and Society - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 2

Abstract

The reflections presented in this paper are focused on the problem of the conflict that takes places at the point of contact of two cultures during social interventions in the communities of foreigners residing in Poland. That is why three research perspectives have been presented. The first one is an analysis of the legal solutions pertaining to the acquiring of the status of a legal alien. The second aspect of the research is connected with the features of the institutional forms of social support for foreigners. In the further area the indicators of cultural differences of the investigated group have been discussed and it has been attempted to define the potential areas of conflict. The scientific exploration was aimed to specify to what extent cultural differences condition the process of the foreigners’ adaptation to a new socio-cultural reality. Furthermore, an attempt was made to answer the question whether the institutions intended to help foreigners can constitute an area of compromise. For this aim the differences between the levels of expectations represented by the administrative and social services and the foreigners themselves have been shown.
