Poland, after social-politic-economic transformation in 1989, became a capitalistic, free-market country. In this conditions human being can be perceived as an object, not a subject of economic life. Therefore the import ant issue is to take up problems associated with human subjectivity. And human subjectivity is expressed in his personal dignity.

The article examines the mechanisms of defamation in the internet space, social media and Facebook in particular. Human dignity is protected both as a constitutional value and as an individual right, though in everyday practice law-enforcement bodies usually tend to be unwilling to react to violations of human dignity, while appropriate legal provisions are often not in place to be implemented. Actions taken by the police in investigating appropriate cases do not always manage to identify perpetrators or bring them to justice. Most internet or cyber crime occurs across international borders and can be committed anonymously. There are certain types of defamatory statements that are considered to harm the reputation of the victim. Libel in the internet involves cyberbullying, online harassment, cyber-stalking, and, most of all, internet trolls. Trolling is any deliberate and intentional attempt to disrupt the credibility of others, often involving petty arguments. People tend to lose control of their emotions when they go online. An explosion of raw and unbridled emotions follows, standards wane, and eventually some internet users lose their touch with reality. Cyber violence and online harassment are punishable crimes and are subject to criminal prosecution: defamation, libel and online threats. Stalking and vulgar language in public places are offences subject to public prosecution and the provisions of the Petty Offences Procedure Code. . Generally, a defamatory statement published to third parties has to be proved and it has to be proved that the publisher knew or should have known that the statement that they made which harmed the reputation was false. The good name or reputation of another can be damaged, or even totally destroyed, in a number of ways. To calumniate another is certainly to ruin a person’s or a company their good name and so to do them an injustice. The number of criminal offences under Article 212 has increased four times over the past ten years.

The effect of rejecting the correspondence concept of truth, adopted in classical metaphysics, is the crisis of modern culture, which is ultimately the crisis of man himself. An important element of it is the belief in the gap between faith and reason. John Paul II claims that stopping this crisis can only happen through the spiritual revival of man, whose condition and foundation is the rediscovery of the universal truth about himself and his ultimate destiny. The Pope is convinced that in the context of contemporary liberal and technical-consumer cultural trends, only thanks to objective truth can a man preserve his identity and the unity of his culture.

The author presents an integral vision of a human being as the foundation for understanding vocation and respect for life. It emphasizes the truths: man as a body and spirit being; the dignity and worth of every person created in the image and likeness of God; the vocation to love, i.e. the ability to give oneself as a gift. As a source for reflection, it is the light of God’s truth found in the Holy Scriptures and in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The author shows the socio-cultural problems related to the lack of respect for human values that are taking place today. It presents the necessity of catechesis in social life, which is to respond with faith to human existence. It presents the problems posed by the world and the response of catechetical content to particular threats.

The article concerns the competences of the organs of the Sejm and the Senate related to protecting the dignity of the chambers. These competences were established as a part of a reaction to the course of the so-called “Sejm crisis”, consisting in the occupation, initially, of the Sejm’s rostrum and then the Sejm’s Meeting Room by MPs from opposition parties at the turn of 2016 and 2017. Using the dogmatic method, the publication aims to define the essence of competences, their applicable and planned regulations, and to evaluate these regulations and formulate possible de lege ferenda postulates on the basis of this evaluation. The main thesis of the article includes a negative evaluation of the applicable regulations of competences due to their contradiction with certain provisions of the Constitution, in particular with Art. 2 of the Constitution, i.e. within the framework of the principle of a democratic state ruled by law established in this provision and the resulting, inter alia, principles of decent legislation, including the principle of the specificity of law, as well as Art. 54 sec. 1 in connection with Art. 31 sec. 3 of the Constitution (i.e. the freedom of expression), Art. 11 of the Constitution (i.e. the freedom to establish and freedom of activity of political parties within the scope of the purpose of their activity, which is to influence on state policy by democratic methods) and Art. 32 of the Constitution (i.e. the principle of equality of political parties resulting from the principle of political pluralism). In this context, the most important is the risk of the so-called “chilling effect”. The publication also includes a positive evaluation of a few of the planned regulations of competences, which may allow for the elimination of the above contradictions or ensure a more complete implementation of the objective of competences, including guaranteeing the dignity of the chambers.

The thought, the testimony of the life and philosophy of Mother Teresa wants to emphasize the primacy of love, respect for the dignity of the person and the defense of human rights inviolable and non-negotiable, first and foremost the right to life, which is that from the moment of conception and is sacred and inviolable. Mother Teresa gave importance to spiritual charity and the charity body, without which man is deprived of the future and of life itself. The ideal of the life of Mother Teresa is an ideal of simplicity and generosity, especially for the poor, the suffering and vulnerable children, in whom she sees the face of Christ incarnate. Mother Teresa has marked the twentieth century with the testimony of his life certainly exemplary educational point of view, ethical and legal, and has at the same time affirmed the need for a new humanism relational and transcendent, essential basis for building a just and coexistence peaceful.

The aim of the article is to analyse Polish regulations considering the legal situation of the stillborn child. The source of the protection could be derived from the constitutional right to live – where the prenatal development is included – and the dignity of the person which does not expire after death. Every stillborn child must be buried, regardless the duration of pregnancy. This duty concerns also children whose stillbirth was caused by the abortion treatment. Furthermore the procedure the hospital is obliged to carry in case of the stillbirth is shown. According to the European Court of Human Rights the legislation considering stillborn children should be clear and non-violating the rights of the relatives. In the summary the author points out legislative errors and shows the solutions that possibly could be introduced.

Cherishing the value honour, in certain social circles, leads to the creation of a peculiar ‘culture of honour’ as a part of the general culture. The paper presents the basic knowledge in the field: a historical outline, examples of the bright as well as the dark side of the culture of honour, its definition, morphology and general theoretical assumptions. Additionally, the second part of the paper discusses the basic issues of honour in the armed forces, such as specifying the meaning of the term and the soldier’s dignity, the importance and functioning of the culture of honour in the military structure, the functions it serves and its place in the process of the military members’ professional socialisation.

Post-Vaticanum Secundum teaching of the Catholic Church emphasizes the role of different forms of social life for integral development of a human person. Communities, beginning with the natural one such as a family to the most complex ones determine quality of social life. Theological basis for the interest of various forms of social life are the truths about: social nature of a human being, common calling to salvation and the model of the Church as a community of people of God. The essential role of enterprises in contemporary economic life and their influence on lives of employees cause that social teaching of the Church has developed certain postulates relating to that specific form of social life. In the ethical reflection on an enterprise present in the Catholic social teaching, there are three clearly-cut planes: enterprises as communities of people, enterprises as a meeting place of capital and work, and important influence of contemporary (particularly international) enterprises on culture, on a family and economy, in a global dimension as well. Anthropological and deeply humanistic concept of an enterprise presented by the Church does not undermine its economic aspects, but puts a human person, a creator of social life in the center.

The human being is a person from the moment of conception to the natural death and because of that he or she acquires the right to the affirmation of the human dignity at every stage of his or her life. Taking care of the terminally ill people who are in the last stage of their lives has been practised for centuries. This is due to the love of another human being and the desire to provide a widely understood support in the last moments of their life. However, the contact with a person who is about to end his or her life is undoubtedly a very difficult experience which requires extraordinary sensitivity, empathy and, above all, an integral understanding of what the human being is. Any kind of a simplified and reduced approach towards a person hinders or completely prevents the whole affirmation of the human dignity and, as a result, renders a proper care for a person who is totally dependent on other people much more difficult. The integral understanding of the human nature guarantees accurate approach to him or her at every stage of their life, especially during the terminal illness and it should perceive the human being as an entity of the body and the soul as well as an individual in a relationship with other people or the society. However, it seems that it is important, especially in palliative care, to affirm a person in his or her complexity of the natural and the supernatural dimension (mutual complementation of nature and grace) as well as the earthly and the eternal life (from the eschatological point of view). In this way the palliative care is not limited just to the somatic or psychological dimensions but it also deals with other dimensions that are extremely important from the angle of the borderline experience of life and death.

As members of academic societies and acting in accordance with a professional-ethical code, psychologists are required to realise principal ethical values connected with their profession, which include dignity, subjectivity and autonomy of a human being. Moreover, in relations with representatives of different fields of knowledge, psychologists attempt to promulgate such types of relations, based on the aforementioned values. The recent development of the media has provided many psychologists with a unique chance to popularise psychological knowledge. Nevertheless, while spreading it, every psychologist is obligated to check if the content of presented facts is in accordance with contemporary science, taking into consideration not only the differences between hypotheses, but also substantiated claims. Special attention is paid by every psychologist to a careful present a tion of the facts which are at variance with the common psychologi cal knowledge or are susceptible to various interpretations. Therefore, practical capabilities of the modern psychology are pr e sented by psychologists in an honest way. Psychologists disseminate knowledge through a variety of media. Their main focus is on writing sc i- entific and popular scientific articles, but sometimes also psychological articles for advice sections or ps y- chological columns of the daily press. What is more, the r a dio, the television and the Internet provide a great possibility of populari sing psychology. Neverth e less, it should be emphasized that there are a lot of dangers of moral nature, hidden behind almost unlimited possibilities offered by the above - mentioned inn o- vations. Hence, there appears a demand for an ethical refle c tion on the risks of the media involvement

Values development in teaching process

The value of human life currently ranks among the topics which are often discussed by general public as well as by experts of various scientific faculties. It also belongs to subjects that have been perpetually dividing society into two camps. The first one consists of those for whom life is sacred, refusing any human interference and influence. The second one is a group of those for whom quality of life is more important and when, in their view, a human life does not happen to be good enough and further suffering only “derogates” its dignity, such life is allowed to be terminated. Natural law, which exists in every human, is divided into those who stand on the side of life and its dignity and to those who believe the human was created in the image and likeness of God. Therefore, it is important to talk about the value and dignity of human life, especially with children and young people who currently receive a great amount of often conflicting information which they cannot properly evaluate. Besides family, which is supposed to be the first source of information on fundamental issues of human life, young people acquire information that may affect their thinking and acting also in school, mainly during religion and ethic education lessons.

International Law and Ageism

88%
EN
In the 21st century ageism is becoming the most widely spread phenomenon. It has become so extensive that presently many more seniors in Europe are exposed to ageism than other people to sexism or racism. Contrary to other vulnerable groups, the elderly do not enjoy any binding instrument that could protect them and their dignity against ageism in the same way that women and racial groups are protected against sexism and racism. Unfortunately, the UN General Assembly resolution, supposed to be a first step to drawing up such a convention, was adopted with a significant number of abstentions, leaving the fate of a potential treaty on the rights of the elderly uncertain. On the other hand, in 2014 the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe adopted a new recommendation, and in June 2015 members of the Organisation of American States adopted a treaty protecting the elder’s rights. Taking into account these new circumstances, the idea underlying this article is to investigate the ability of international instruments to limit ageism and protect older persons’ dignity, as well as to indicate existing gaps.

This paper is an attempt to present the Hegelian theology of Vito Mancuso, a radical lay Catholic theologian, from the perspective of the ethics of social consequences, as primarily promoted by Vasil Gluchman. Mancuso is a keen observer of today’s society and he identifies a serious flaw among contemporary people in what he calls the idol of our time. This so-called idol is a human desire which seems to have been promoted more aggressively within contemporary society through various publicity channels, so it has developed into a mass phenomenon in today’s world. According to Mancuso, this desire is man’s longing to stay young despite the natural process of aging, a fact which has individual, spiritual, as well as social implications. He also introduces the necessity for the cultivation of one’s soul for the personal benefit of individuals but also for the prosperity of society in general. In other words, Mancuso borrows, from Hegel, the necessity that the human spirit should develop to the point of positively accepting the materiality of its natural constitution for the wellbeing of all individuals living in the same society which very much resembles Gluchman’s focus on human reasoning and moral action aimed at the promotion of positive consequences and moral duty as means to educate the human spirit towards tolerance and responsibility, all key concepts in Gluchman’s ethics of social consequences.

One of the significant issues in Pope Francis's teachings is the culture of encounter. This is the opposite of the culture of rejection which is becoming more and more common. The phenomenon of marginalization of people because of different reasons has been known to the human civilization for ages but nowadays is becomes more widespread. According to Pope Francis, the main indications and the same time causes of the throwaway culture are: fake devotion, egoism, fear, selection, indifference, treating the old as a burden, discrimination, aversion to foreigners, war, death penalty. The Holy Father lists also the countermeasures against exclusion. These are: realizing that we were all created by the same Creator, reminding of human dignity, human solidarity, devoting time to others, acceptance, opening the heart to other people's needs.

The author interprets two novels by Zofia Nałkowska - Węzły życia [The Bonds of Life] and Niecierpliwi [The Impatient]. In a hermeneutic-feminist analysis of selected figures and motifs, the article presents new meanings of concepts that are crucial for the understanding of anthropology of corporeality in Nałkowska’s writing project. Among the focal points of the discussion there are the dignity of “lay bodies,” as well as “male” and “female” fantasies of violence.

The Russian concept of čest’, originally associated with remuneration for services to one’s feudal lord, used to contrast with the spiritual understanding of slava. With time, differences between the two concepts became obliterated: in Classicism they functioned as synonyms, in the Enlightenment čest’ was associated with the era in decline.With these differences in mind, the author analyzes the Teshen archive, asks how Russian peasants protect their “čest’”, and where they see it lacking. It is observed that the notion of čest’ is captured in a series of rules that constitute a peculiar unwritten code. In the context of interacting with guests, čest’ is connected with a certain order of inviting and receiving them, the giving of gift, entertaining and seating one’s guests behind the table. Proverbs also reveal a clear link between čest’ and volya (will) as another important concept of traditional Russian culture (cf. Gostyu čest’, koli volya est’ ‘Respect to the guest, if there’s a will’).Čest’ is actualized during each ceremonial reception: it involves material aspects, such as an honorable place behind the table or special food, as well as aspects of behaviour, such as inviting and welcoming the guests, respect towards them and the appropriate course of events during a ceremonial meal. The hosts demonstrate their generosity and kindness. The guests should accepts the gifts offered in order to show čest’ to their gift-givers.

Pojęcie ros. čest’, łączone początkowo w języku rosyjskim z materialnym wynagrodzeniem za usługi okazane suwerenowi, pozostawało w kontraście ze sławą jako wartością wyłącznie duchową. Z czasem różnice między nimi zacierały się: w epoce klasycyzmu pojęcia te były synonimami, w dobie Oświecenia čest’ kojarzono z odchodzącą epoką.Mając na uwadze te różnice, autorka analizuje materiały Tieszeniowskiego archiwum i stawia pytania o to, jak chłopi chronią swoją cześć, a w czym upatrują brak czci. Zauważa, że koncept czci zawiera się w szeregu prawideł, które tworzą swego rodzaju niepisany kodeks. W kontekście przyjmowania gości čest’ jest łączona z określonym porządkiem zapraszania, przyjmowania, gościńcem, ugaszczaniem, a także usadzaniem za stołem. W przysłowiach ujawnia się także wyraźny związek konceptu czci z pojęciem WOLI jako innym ważnym pojęciem rosyjskiej tradycyjnej kultury (por. Gostju čest’, koli volja est’).Pojęcie czci aktualizuje się podczas każdej uroczystości, łączy się z materialnymi przedmiotami (poczesne miejsce, specjalne potrawy), uczestnikami (gośćmi) i niematerialnymi (zapraszanie, spotkanie, szacunek, prawidłowy przebieg uczty). Gospodarz demonstruje szczodrość i życzliwość. Gość powinien przyjąć dary, tym samym okazując cześć gospodarzowi darczyńcy.
