The author tries to define social and cultural conditions for the formation of the basic idea of the rule of law concept, which is a limitation of the royal power by the law. He says that this basic idea arose in England and Scandinavian kingdoms because here the two main factors weakening the royal power met: a tension between a secular authority and the church and an outliving tradition of a military democracy in which a relation between a prince (a military leader) and his warriors was conditional and contractual. On the contrary, a Roman idea of an unrestricted authority of emperors was weak in these lands. A development of legal and philosophical thinking helped to describe such a situation also from a theoretical point of view. An original struggle between nobility and commons defending legal restriction of royal authority and – on the opposite side - monarchs stressing their own sovereignty and superiority over law continues also today – in a discussion on mutual relations between the State and citizens.

The unemployment has become phenomenon that influences development after the year 1989 in Slovakia, when the period of main changes in all spheres of country politics and life started. In previous social structure labour market had been deformed by centrally planned economy. Each citizen had the right to work, but also to be employed was a duty. After establishment of first steps towards free market economy, unemployment started to be an important problem. Another aim of the thesis is to enclose difficult situations in families, which come from instability of economy. In the research we would like to point out adverse situation of families as a result of low earnings and high unemployment. Research work and studies show that the development of mass unemployment not only causes serious economic problems for the countries and individuals, but people affected by unemployment have also social, psychological and psychiatric problems. Moreover, physical health of unemployed people may be impaired and the increasing unemployment increases the risk of some of the adverse socio-pathological phenomena, such as alcohol and drug abuse, crime, divorce, domestic violence. The unemployment represents for each individual person different life experience and absence of labour brings for each unemployed various individual consequences, that could be divided to: economical (financial, decline in standard of living), mental (loss of self-confidence, self-respect), medical (somatic and psychical problems) and social (loss of social status, problems in family).The unemployment is accompanying effect of each free market economy. On searching for reasons of unemployment and solution possibilities focuses government economy politics in many countries around the world. In Slovakia, likewise, each government declared finding possibilities to solve problem of unemployment as one of its principal aims. Institute for unemployment supports personal participation of people in economy development as defined in Strategic plans for Europe 2020. In conditions as are in Slovakia, this goal could be reach by inclusive employment.

Christians' social life is based on values that are the moral foundations for an individual. Respecting these norms is what makes Christian communities different from other ones and what shapes their way of thinking and activities. These values are rooted in Jesus Christ as their main source and the personal centre of Christianity. This system of norms comes from the Bible, especially from the New Testament. The author focuses on a theological and moral characteristics of biblical axiology of Christian social life, especially on: 1) Love as the foundation of the social unity of the 'human world', 2) Freedom as a prescriptive value of human existence, 3) Truth as the unifying centre of human existence, 4) Peace and joy as characteristic aspects of Christian life.

The health of individuals is an irreplaceable value that is difficult to measure in certain respects. The present article provides the reader with a multifaceted view of the theoretical and methodological issues of health and health status. The core of this article is a discussion of the broader theoretical context of health, as well as the ways in which health is conceptualized, operationalized and measured. Special attention is paid to the distinction between objective and subjective measurement of health and the concept of subjective health (self-assessed) status. It also presents studies on the social, economic and environmental determinants of health.

Nietzsche's philosophy influenced considerably Grigol Robakidze's (1880-1962) work. Not only did the Georgian thinker internalize Nietzsche's ides adequately, he also developed them in a fruitful way in his essays and creative writing. The present article is an attempt of characterizing the ways of dealing with Nietzsche's ideas outlined in the philosophical writings of G. Robakidze. For handling this problem, the philosophical conception of communication is employed and, proceeding from the perspective thus afforded, questions of Nietzsche's reception in G. Robakidze's work are discussed.

The goal of the paper is to show the evolutionary transformations and identifications of Laco Novomeský´s poetic gesture in the interwar period of his work. The subject of the research is Novomeský´s poetry written between the years 1923 – 1939, ranging from the juvenilia published in magazines (1923 – 1925), to his debut collection of poems Nedeľa (Sunday, 1927), collections Romboid (1932) and Otvorené okná (Open Windows, 1935), to collection Svätý za dedinou (The Saint at the End of the Village, 1939). Novomeský´s poetic subject does not find his position so easily as do those of his contemporaries (Poničan, Smrek); quite early, even before his debut, he abandons Utopism and the ideal of Revolution, ideas typical of those times, and subsequently also the illusory forms of love. Novomeský gives up completely optimistic positions in order to take on disillusion as early as his debut book, and the tendencies towards deficit, pessimism and tragic feelings deepen even further. The expression of disintegration, collapse and isolation is the crisis of objective time, and Novomeský finds a way out of it by associating himself with intimate time. The contribution of the paper can be seen in clarification of the evolution of Novomeský´s poetic gesture in relation to other similar authors (Smrek, Poničan) and identification of the method that Novomeský used to overcome and synthesize the opposites.

The meaning of health has undergone changes through the last two decades. Its evolution manifests itself in extending the scope, appreciating the dynamics and variability of health, recognizing the importance of its subjective evaluation and ascribing the responsibility for own health to the agent. The article presents changes in the dimensions of health through the life span in the light of the contemporary concepts of health. According to these concepts, four dimensions of health are distinguished: somatic, mental, social and spiritual health. The somatic dimension is characterized by a discrepancy between objective and subjective evaluation of changes. From the objective, medical point of view aging of the human body begins since birth and the probability of many somatic illnesses has increased through the life span. The subjective evaluation of health is related to age, which means that the same medical health status is evaluated as better in older age. The notion of mental health includes mental illnesses and disturbances on the one hand and positive mental health on the other. The majority of mental illnesses have their onset in young or middle age and the probability of becoming mentally ill rather decreases with aging. The subjective evaluation of the quality of life, regarded as an index of the positive mental health, exhibits the curvilinear shape, growing till the late age. The social health, estimated on the base of functioning in social roles, has increased as the agent learns by experience, how to perform new roles. The spiritual health is characterized by the constant development and its indices are higher in the old age. It may be concluded that the picture of the changes in health through the life span is complex, exhibiting specific courses for the different dimensions of health.

The past few years in Poland and, indeed, globally, have seen a shift from the predominance of traditional museums to the rise of multi-mediated, multi-sensory, and interactive “new” museums. However, in the midst of technological shifts in museum forms as well as broader social, cultural, and political changes, are the images of Poland and Polish culture and national identity, as presented in museums, also changing? If so, how, and what resources are being drawn on to construct new identities and/or reproduce old ones? I am currently engaged in a study of museums—conceptualized broadly to include traditional historical and cultural museums, cultural and historical centers, and online archives and virtual “memory sites—in contemporary Poland. My study focuses on one particular type of museum “publics”—those most involved with and interested in the museum process, the workers and volunteers. I am interested in which individuals comprise this form of the museum public in the case of historical and cultural museums in Poland, their motivations for becoming involved, and their role within museum practices more broadly. I hypothesize, first, that new museums understood as a sort of public “ritual” represent in part a means of addressing uncertainty over national identity; and secondly, that local/regional and transnational resources, in addition to national ones are increasingly being drawn on in both museum form and content in the process of constructing new public images of Poland, in part in dialogue with broader and more diffuse audiences, but also that these new images coexist, at times uneasily, with familiar discourses of the nation.

The society and its determinants in which a man can realize one’s potential playing certain roles are in a general sense the theme of sociological analyses. Ralf Dahrendorf (1929–2009) as a sociologist in an analysis of social structures refers to the meaning of conflicts. In his opinion, conflicts are not only the resultant of a clash of opposite options/positions, but they express a way of existence of the society willing to serve the individual by working out the best solutions to social and political problems. The article consists of two parts. In the first part the theory of conflicts is presented in general whereas in the second part it is shown how the theory is applicable to social and political life.

The Slovak question during the First Czechoslovak Republic appears to be a structured problem incorporating national, constitutional, economic, social, cultural and geopolitical segments. The national segment consisted mainly in the dilemma of either Czechoslovak national unity or Slovak specificity. The most important phenomenon that pushed the Slovak question in the 1930s to a higher quality level was the completion of the process of formation of the Slovak nation as a modern political entity. The main factors of this phenomenon consisted in positive consequences of the acceptance of democratic and civil principles by the Slovak community. Slovaks' maturing into a modern political nation can be best seen in the fact that while the national awakening in the 1920s was limited to the nation's political elite, in the 1930s the Slovak national and civil consciousness was spreading both horizontally and vertically. In the latter decade, the Slovak nation developed into a political entity, beyond the mere ethnic and linguistic features as it had been the case before. As to the geopolitical segment, Slovakia's role as a geopolitical phenomenon was increasing, particularly in the 1930s when the Nazis came to power in Germany. Within the social segment of the Slovak question the social problems (namely unemployment and the presence of Czech workers) emerged as an important source of anti-Czech nationalism. As to the cultural segment, the Slovak intellectual elite (with some minor exceptions) definitely rejected the attempts of applying the theory of Czechoslovak national unity to Slovak science and culture. The economic aspect meant that Slovakia wanted to equal Bohemia and Moravia in their economic level. An analysis of the Slovak political elite's approaches to the Slovak question shows that in the 1930s actually all Slovak political bodies were dissatisfied with Slovakia's position within the Czechoslovak Republic. As a result, primarily in the 1930s, the Slovak question became a much hotter problem compared to the previous period, mainly due to the fact that in that period of time the process of formation of the Slovak nation as a modern political entity objectively culminated and the dynamism of its formation increased.
