Summary

Local cultures and societies

The historical aspect and the roots of identity in shaping the policy and social responsibility We must remember that in shaping policy and public awareness the historical issues were important. In 1992 the Law of Ukraine on Civic Associations was established It was a crucial moment for NGOs, which resulted in the development of this sector. Bearing in mind the historical context we have to remember the differences of history in the eastern and western parts of the Ukraine. The eastern part of the Ukraine was closely tied with the Soviet Union. This part of the country’s population assimilated an ethnic Russian population. The population of the eastern and southern parts of the Ukraine uses the Russian language more often than people in western part of the country. The indicated points of view reveal some dichotomies caused by historical heritage We can observe it in the example of civil society and policy. In turn, developing civic movements have set themselves the goal of protecting human rights (Tyszczenko, & Bakalczuk, 2012, pp. 235-236)
