The birth of a child in a Jewish family, both in the ancient times and today, brings happiness not only to the parents themselves but also to the whole of the Jewish community. Children are a gift from God, they contribute to the prosperous future of the family they come from, but they also, what is essential, guarantee the continued survival of the chosen nation. Following this assumption, childless families were considered to be deficient, unsubstantial and were shunned from society because, as the Israelites believe, God blesses only those who have numerous offspring. The lack of children was often considered a curse, equated to punishment for sins and the absence of God in the family. The present article introduces the reader to the principles of traditional education of Jewish children, outlines problems of child’s education both at home, which is a fundamental basis for creating and shaping Jewish identity, and at school, where the emphasis is on transferring knowledge of religious and moral nature. Additionally, educational methods used both at family home and educational establishments are also discussed in the article.

The objective of this paper is to outline some aspects of dwarfism in the Antiquity. The author focuses in particular on Ancient Egypt where one of the most prominent of gods – Bes – suffered from dwarfism. It was believed that little people were somehow connected to other Egyptians gods, which is why they were treated with respect and dignity. Different attitude towards little people can be seen in AncientIsrael where they were excluded from the society, as disability at the time was considered as a punishment from God. The paper also covers Ancient Greece. Aristotle was the first scholar to describe dwarfism. He noted in particular the intelligence of the little people, which according to him was not developed particularly well, compared to the rest of the society.

Thick description, thin description. Cultural way of understanding disability The aim of this article is to present disability from the cultural point of view. Special attention will be paid to Clifford Geertz and his thick description. The phrase thick description is borrowed from Gilbert Ryle. In the classic example one boy’s eye involuntairly twitches while at the same time another boy winks. The physical phenomena are the same but the meaning is different. In understanding disability we have to take into consideration not only the medical, social or biopsychosocial model but cultural context as well.

Liczba osób starszych nie tylko w Polsce, ale i na całym świecie każdego roku rośnie. Z tego powodu coraz więcej uwagi poświęca się procesowi starzenia się oraz samej starości. Chociaż osoby starsze są coraz bardziej widoczne w mediach, o czym świadczy coraz większa ilość programów telewizyjnych z ich udziałem to problematyka demencji nadal jest tematem, który jest bardzo rzadko poruszany zarówno w dyskursie publicznym, jak i w filmach. Celem niniejszego artykułu będzie próba spojrzenia na tę często występującą u osób starszych chorobę otępienną oraz dokonanie analizy programów telewizyjnych i filmów, wyemitowanych w ostatnich latach i prześledzenie kontekstów, w jakich prezentowana jest demencja, która w obecnych czasach jest istotnym problemem nie tylko dla rodziny chorego, ale i dla całego społeczeństwa.
