Self-presentation is one of the basic human communicative behaviours. At school it is connected with the ability to characterize a character, which often results in schematic form and stereotypical content. The routinisation of procedures used by teachers breeds students’ indifference. Contemporary urge for social communication sets new challenges to the ability of characterization, one of which being the ability of effective self-presentation. In this particular context the characteristics loses its status of solely school being and faces the current urge of existence on labour market or in the virtual space. The aim of this performance is to present the results of empirical research carried out in secondary schools (against available research results of chosen “self-presentation genres” found in the Internet, such as blogs or IRC’s) in the form of quantitative-qualitative analysis of students’ abilities of the genre’s realization (complemented with the theoretical works in linguistics and linguistic efficiency development didactics) in a perspective of communicative competence’s development in this particular area.

Practical implications. The work is practical in nature. It is important for many reasons, most of all because hiring backpackers has impact on the development of many sectors of the Australian industry. Therefore, extensive discussion of the issue allows to search for the necessary solutions. More controversial seem to be the rules applied to backpackers’ employment so far, but more important are solutions. Another aspect that gives practical value to this issue is the need for discussion on the revision of the WHV programme in view of admission of anew group of backpackers to the temporary labour market in Australia - from the countries of former socialist democracies (including Poland). Originality. The raised issue is usually presented in foreign research as statistics and reports.

Research on physical, that is, violent, terror attacks and extremism has increased dramatically over the last decade. The growth of the Internet and computer technology has also led to concern over the use of cyberattacks by ideologically motivated offenders to cause harm and further their political and social agendas. There is, however, a lack of empirical research on cyber-attackers limiting our knowledge of the factors that affect their behavior. This study addresses this empirical gap through a qualitative analysis of 10 interviews conducted with ideologically motivated Turkish computer hackers. The findings demonstrated that Turkish hackers motivated by an ideological agenda reflected the larger values of the hacker subculture, though the targets for their attacks were shaped directly by religious or political beliefs. We conclude by discussing in depth our findings and implications for counterterror and cybersecurity policy and practice.

Abstract. The use of social networking sites such as LinkedIn in recruitment is ubiquitous. This practice may hold risks for older job seekers. Not having grown up using the internet and having learned how to use social media only in middle adulthood may render them less versed in online self-presentation than younger job seekers. Results of this research show some differences and many similarities between younger and older job seekers' impression management on their LinkedIn profiles. Nevertheless, independent of their impression management efforts, older job seekers received fewer job offers than younger job seekers. Only using a profile photo with a younger appearance reduced this bias. Implications for the role of job seeker age in online impression management and recruitment are discussed.
