Abstract

transgressive activity is typical human feature and relates to every member of society

levels. It creates necessity to leave restricted possibilities, personal imperfection
and allows to create new values and changes. Analysis of the studies and presentation
of daily life examples show that taking transgressive activity enables personal and
cultural development.
Conclusions. A man frequently makes decisions and does not know about the
results of these decisions. Sometimes, it is needed to use some unconventional activities.
The recognition of the man as homo transgressivus is very important in terms of
changes in the world and lives of individuals.
