The concept of "human lifestyle" and its borders

The limitation of a person's way of life to objective social conditions is usually explained by the fact that they determine the essence and nature of people's life. However, the vital activity of people is determined not only by social, but also by natural factors. The article shows that the way of life of people can be studied only in unity with living conditions. Its essence should be revealed taking into account the influence of natural and social conditions on it. This means that the concepts of “living conditions” and “lifestyle” are inseparable, but this does not mean that one of them becomes an integral part of the other. In fact, living conditions, or rather the natural and social spheres, only describe the possible range of human activities. It is emphasized that not only living conditions shape a person's way of life, but he himself changes the surrounding conditions, both social and natural, during his life.
