Dominantni Vrijednosni Obrasci Crnogorskog DruštvaZa sociološku spoznaju jednog društva veoma su važni sklopovi vrijednosnih orijentacija i normativnih obrazaca u okviru kojih se socijalizuju pojedinci i grupe, na osnovu kojih se, kao kulturnih imperativa, uobli ava, ure uje i usmjerava ljudsko ponašanje, me uodnosi, djelovanje, stvaralaštvo. Vrijednosti nesumljivo uti u na izbor poželjnih ciljeva, one usmjeravaju i osmišljavaju djelanje i ponašanje. Polaze i od ovakvog odre ena vrijednosti nastojali smo utvrditi šta je to specifi no za vrijednosne obrasce crnogorskog društva u postsocijalisti kom periodu, periodu koji obiluje promjenama u svim aspektima društvenog života. To posebno smatramo zna ajnim s obzirom da vrijednosti definišu i poželjnost odre enog tipa društvenog sistema.Brojna istraživanja koja ovdje navodimo pokazuju da nacionalnu kulturu ovog prostora karakteriše jedinstvena kombinacija visoke distance mo i, izraženog kolektivizma, dominanatnih "ženskih" vrijednsoti i visokog izbjegavanja rizika. Navedene osobenosti se moraju odraziti ne samo na strukture i procese u pojedinim institucijama i organizacijama, nego i na model privrednog razvoja, pa i na ukupne društvene odnose.

This should especially be kept in mind when it comes to the transformation of post-socialist societies, where the focus is mainly placed on the economic and political aspects, while whatever takes place in terms of values and value orientations, more broadly, whatever takes place at the level of cultural patterns is neglected.When it comes to the study of the nature and characteristics of a society, besides the economic and political framework, it is necessary, to include into the analysis a cultural context which is composed of a series of elements. Using the cultural context we can more fully explain the functioning of a society. Each individual society has its own features, and in order to understand the events taking place in it, we should set off from its cultural and historical particularities. The cultural patterns enable us to uncover the different relationships existing between social groups/individuals and systems of needs and values, as well as to explain their goals and motivations. Since the concept

Today, mankind is facing one of the greatest challenges detrimental to its well-being, even its survival—climate change. Given that scientists agree that climate change is caused by humans, efforts are being made to change human behavior in order to avoid any tragic consequences. Research indicates that people are more likely to practice sustainable behavior to act on climate change if they are convinced that it actually exists and that it is predominantly caused by human activity. In this context, we have tried to determine what attitudes toward climate change the citizens of Montenegro (declaratively the first ecological country in the world) have and what is their assessment of the importance of sustainable behavior in terms of limiting energy consumption. In order to answer these questions as accurately as possible, it was necessary to make a comparison with other countries where the indicated phenomenon was the subject of research. For this purpose, we used data from the last round (2021) of the European Social Survey (ESS), in which 25 countries participated. The data were obtained by means of a rigorous and standardized collection strategy, ensuring their validity and reliability. The results show significant differences between the countries of Western Europe, post-socialist countries, and Montenegro. The citizens of post-socialist countries display significantly more skepticism toward climate change than those in Western Europe. Furthermore, the citizens of Montenegro are even more skeptical than the average resident of post-socialist societies. The results also show that the attitudes of Montenegrin citizens toward climate change are influenced by some demographic and socioeconomic variables (level of education and material standard), as well as certain value patterns, which we obtained by using Schwartz’s value model.

The subject of this paper is the (dis)trust of peasants towards the social order and political institutions of the Montenegrin system. This relationship is most often reflected in the fact that peasants are more subordinate to the global society, the state and the ruling regime than all other strata in one system. In small societies such as Montenegro, their influence as a political factor and an active participant in the creation of political life is minor. This exclusion is primarily the result of the small number of people remaining to live and work in the village today, and of their demographic characteristics. The involvement in public action is reduced to the execution of orders, payment of taxes, and voting in elections to support or not support those in power. Hence the story of peasants' (dis) trust in the institutional system they live in.

Weber’s very important theory on the influence of religion on economic behaviour was tested in the societies which belong to different cultural and religious circles. However, due to various socio-political circumstances, the testing of Weber’s theoretical-methodological framework has been largely neglected in the countries where Orthodox Christianity is dominant. However, the difficulties that arose in Orthodox societies during the post-socialist transformation, as well as the shift from the economic research paradigm to the cultural one on the global level, along with the revival of religion in Eastern Europe as one of the most important institutions of ideological and social life, contributed to the focus of our scientific interest be directed in this direction. The central questions that we tried to answer on this occasion were primarily related to the specifics of the concept of work in Orthodox Christianity and the relationship to the accumulation of capital.
