Abstract

Abstract The author, due to the didactic needs and seeing a small gap in the way of presenting scientific data on the area of social science, have decided to present this work hoping that it will influence on widening both the social science and geography knowledge of the recipients, having connected the development and creation of certain social phenomena with particular economic activity, that is, the extraction of mineral resources. The aim of the hereby text is to present such social phenomena like organizational culture, discourse and social capital. The notions mentioned above ought to concern not only students, but also the specialists and scientists dealing with any of those two fields, as it seems prudent to follow the path of closely connecting two major issues emerging from two distinctively separate areas of science if that may help to better understand how such mixture influence people’s behaviour and allows to draw conclusion on the effect such actions may have on community or society. Moreover, such fact was prior for the author to decide to work on the problem of protests for mining in the future. On the other hand, the article may help in organizing the process of exploitation of mineral resources in the different organizations involved in this type of activity.

Highlights

  • The matter of the impact of social phenomena such as the identity, culture, rituals and social capital, understood as „the amount of current and potential assets which an individual or a group deserves due to owning constant, more or less institutionalized network of relations, contacts, mutual recognition” (BOURDIEU & WACQUANT, 2001, p. 104–105): and discourse on the example of exploitation of mineral deposits is described in this article

  • Mineral resources are the activity which is especially exposed on the negative social phenomena due to the often misunderstood impact on the environment and on the local community

  • Extraction of mineral resources is often contested because of the exaggerated or completely false damage, but on the other hand, it is desirable for economic reasons (MATCZAK, 1996; BADERA, 2014; BADERA & KOCOŃ, 2014)

Summary

Introduction

The matter of the impact of social phenomena such as the identity, culture, rituals and social capital, understood as „the amount of current and potential assets which an individual or a group deserves due to owning constant, more or less institutionalized network of relations, contacts, mutual recognition” (BOURDIEU & WACQUANT, 2001, p. 104–105): and discourse on the example of exploitation of mineral deposits is described in this article. Mineral resources are the activity which is especially exposed on the negative social phenomena due to the often misunderstood impact on the environment and on the local community. Extraction of mineral resources is often contested because of the exaggerated or completely false damage, but on the other hand, it is desirable for economic reasons (MATCZAK, 1996; BADERA, 2014; BADERA & KOCOŃ, 2014). All of this results in measurable material losses for companies involved in the extraction of raw materials, which must abandon the exploitation of the lodes despite, for example, meeting rigorous environmental standards. Exploitation of mineral lodes integrates community focused around the plant mining interests
