This article identifies and assesses the importance of informational factors in shaping consumer demand for organic food in Poland, using demographic segmentation criteria, including gender, age, education, place of residence, and wealth. The empirical data came from a survey conducted among 850 randomly selected organic food consumers in Poland in December 2020, using the CAWI (Computer Assisted Web Interview) method, accessed via an internet panel. The collected and structured empirical data are presented in descriptive, tabular, and graphical form, using comparative analyses. The results of the research have allowed for the construction of three original models of organic food consumers, with regard to information credibility and reliability. Additionally, the results confirmed the research hypothesis, which assumes that consumers who recognize the credibility and reliability of information concerning organic food products purchase them more often and spend more on them. Thus, in the case of organic food, the impact of credible and reliable information on the process of shaping consumer demand is clear: it constitutes a significant factor that triggers demand.

The meaning of food security is so obvious that it has not been assigned any clear, specific definition, which in turn allows a broad interpretation of the concepts that make up the scope of activities aimed at ensuring food security. Every definition of the idea is burdened with confirmation bias, emerging through the prism of a primary human feeling – satiety. A. Maslov considered this the most important human need, which is why he placed it at the base of the pyramid. Therefore, it is important to recognise the confirmation bias that we display when defining the next food security area. Food safety and food security are issues as old as human beings, and yet our decisions are dictated by heuristics. They function in our minds like automated processes: means by which we quickly make judgements. A well-filled body does not believe in hunger. In the globalised world, a new mind-set is needed in food distribution systems. This article concludes with pilot research in the area of knowledge, attitudes, and assessment of food security issues in a group of academic youths.

The European Union (EU) development policy is a model planning framework for partner countries, the foundation of which can be traced back to the 1957 Treaty of Rome. This study is an investigation of the EU’s policy development, tracing it beginning as a model and its implication with partner countries. Moreover, this article assesses the EU’s development ties with South Asian countries. Qualitative and empirical methods are applied in order to generate answers to questions about the literature gaps in research on the EU’s developmental role in South Asia. This article’s initial findings suggest that the EU is a leading aid donor and it is even bringing a significant change to South Asia in the following areas: awareness for human rights, the promotion of democracy, sustainable development, poverty, and other SDGs goals.

This article describes social media as a new era of interpersonal communication. The study’s main objective is to distinguish between the specific features through which social media is creating interesting channels of information transmission. The functioning of the newly defined information society is also analysed, citing the changes that social media underwent as a good starting point for this analysis. When the speed of information transfer and the general availability became insufficient for the needs, there were expectations of deeper connections between the users and the content than had existed prior to social media. A social media user is not only a recipient, but also an active creator who influences deeply the essence and functioning of social media.

The article presents the main research focus on Generation X in Poland, on the problem of this generation’s (un)adjustment and (non)capitalization of the potential and circumstances related to the collapse of socialism and the onset of the country’s system transformation process. In countries such as Poland this problem becomes of particular significance because the life of Generation X became integrally interwoven with the radical political, social and economic changes. The primary objective of this paper is to present selected conditions of a start of the working lives of the Polish Generation X and the significance thereof for a successful entry into the adult life by this generation. An attempted analysis covered homogeneity vs. diversity of behaviors typical of this generation. The paper comprised studying the subject literature, the desk research method, descriptive statistics method and the collective case study method. Reference was made to the reports and data bases collected by Eurostat and by Poland and the USA, including by the bureaus for statistics in both countries.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, humans have found themselves suddenly in the most challenging times. Our era has given rise to Klaus Schwab’s idea of the Great Reset, meaning that there is no way back to the “normal” and that our lives should never be the same again. However, when we read his book, COVID-19: The Great Reset, what we find is not very promising. The reset as envisioned by influential world financial and political elite, whom Schwab represents, is neither a way back to the past nor a way to a great future. Therefore, I argue that if we really want to consider the Great Reset as a new way for humanity, we need to propose a normative vision that should ultimately include human evolution and social harmony. There are global problems that we urgently need to solve, such as the problems of hunger and the environment, of wealth and poverty, and of peace and war–all of which are related to our survival as humankind. But beyond this, we also need to ask ourselves the question of what “a good life” means. I want to propose a Great Reset that is really transformative, leading to a new age of humanity that I call “evolutionity”.

: The multimodal teaching model originates from the multimodal discourse analysis. The theory of multimodal discourse analysis mainly emphasized the important role of social symbols such as images and actions in discourse communication. In the past twenty years, multimodal teaching model has gradually entered the field of education. In the practice of language teaching, it is helpful to improve the effectiveness of language teaching by learning from the theory of multimodal discourse analysis and give full play to the synergy of multimodal participation. Business English translation course covers the translation practice of international business activities, which is a kind of complex social communication and presents a multimodal development trend. Therefore, business English translation course has the characteristics of “business” and “application”. It is necessary to implement the practice teaching of interdisciplinary and cross-cultural communication in business situations. Combined with the characteristics of business English translation course, the application of multimodal teaching model has practical significance for promoting the teaching reform of business English translation course and improving its teaching quality. Constructing a new teaching model of business English translation by combining multimodal teaching environment, multimodal teaching materials, multimodal teaching methods and multimodal assessment can make the business English translation teaching more effective and help improve students’ language acquisition, translation skills, cross-cultural ability and humanistic quality simultaneously.
