Everyone has the right to dignity, which is assigned by virtue of humanity. Although this right is guaranteed, it is sometimes in different situations violated. It does not always happen in a direct way, but through the actions, which do not take into account the specific needs of individuals due to their differences. The everyday life of such people differs from everyday life of other people. Disability constitutes one of the reasons of this situation. This article is an attempt to draw people’s attention to these aspects of the organization of social life, which not only make life more complicated for people with disabilities, but also contribute to the sense of humiliation that occurs in connection with emerging difficulties.

The dominant view towards the Middle East is that the region is stuck in the past and plagued by conflict. Therefore, it was anticipated that Middle Eastern states would take a side in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Despite expressing sympathy for Ukrainians due to their own experiences of humiliation caused by several wars, the Middle Eastern people and states remained cautious and chose to avoid getting involved in the conflict. It seems that the view of the Middle Eastern middle class had an influence on state decision-making regarding involvement in the war in Ukraine. Considering the rise of an educated middle class in the region, it can be hypothesized that the middle class’s priority is political-economic instability rather than engaging in further wars. The objective of this research is to comprehensively understand the Middle Eastern middle class’s viewpoint on war.

The drama of Katyń. The theory of colors, Julia Holewińska based on Józef Czapski’s Old Bielsko Memories, although largely processed. The protagonist of the play is Józef Czapski, a painter-capist, writer, intellectual, prisoner of Starobielsk, Pawliszczew Boru, Griazowiec, who builds his paintings in the performance with colors. The setting for these events is Kozielsk, where the artist was not held, which proves that this is not Czapski’s biography, nor is it a documentary account of camp life. The playwright, on the basis of a harsh and humiliating reality, showed human sensitivity. In Holewińska’s drama, Czapski acts as a guide through the camp experience through the eyes of a colorist. In each sequence, the artist expresses his view of color in art. There are two more allegorical characters in the drama: Our Lady of Kazan, who embodies three beings: Our Lady of Kazan (The Blessed Virgin of Kazan) – as the sacred, the real pilot Janina Lewandowska, and femininity in general. The second allegorical figure is the great Katyń liar, who personifies the whole apparatus of repression and oppression of the NKVD. The background for the conversations between these characters is a two-person choir – one out of a thousand and the Second of thousand. Art of Katyń. The theory of colors is devoted to painful historical events, despite the fact that it is subject to various playwriting procedures, it is moving in its meaning.

The terms such as: humiliation, discrimination, domination, privileges, symbolic power, violence come from the dictionary of critical pedagogy. Researchers such as P. Freire, H. Giroux, P. McLaren, Z. Kwiecinski, L. Witkowski and T. Szkudlarek reveal the mechanisms of manipulation and abusive practices in the field of education, which create/ maintain/ develop social inequalities and discrimination. They pay attention to the fact that school (and state) systems neither fulfil the needs of individuals or society, nor allow to speak for groups representing different ethnic origin, religion, beliefs etc. Similar mechanisms are present in the field of social work, social policy and its institutions. A critical perspective is not permanently present in the theories of social work. Therefore, it seems appropriate to elaborate on this subject and emphasize a number of traps, danger mechanisms of domination and discrimination in social care, due to the nature of this institution, which bears the marks of a total institution. One can speak in this context about discriminatory practices against specific groups (eg. against seniors), but also reach the meta-narrative perspective and analyze the new academic discipline, which is social work.

Humiliating situations can occur both at the macro level (when dealing with specific social groups) and the micro level (when they appear in the relations of the individual with social environment). Humiliation always brings negative consequences, and is a source of suffering and shame. It also robs a man of dignity and violates his internal integrity. Ruthlessness of dehumanization mechanisms is present in thinking and action of a person who uses humiliation as a tool of influence and the way of achieving his own benefits. The victim of dependency and social inequality may take different strategies to cope with humiliation. This text is an attempt to search for the answers to the question about the causes and consequences of humiliation in interpersonal relations, both in a social ad individual context.

The article presents, analyzes, and interprets the concept of useless violence, which appears in the fifth part of Primo Levi's book "The Drowned And The Saved". Levi tries to capture the specificity of the violence used by the German Nazis with this concept. The author's approach to the phenomenon of useless violence is extended to include additional accounts by witnesses and the findings of researchers who deal with the functioning of concentration camps and the phenomenon of Nazi terror. In this way, the description of a certain form of violence developed by the author who is also a victim of it obtains support and broad commentary.

Artykuł zawiera prezentację, analizę oraz interpretację pojęcia przemocy zbędnej, które pojawia się w piątej części książki Primo Leviego Pogrążeni i ocaleni. Levi podjął próbę uchwycenia przy pomocy tego pojęcia specyfiki przemocy stosowanej przez niemieckich nazistów. Sposób ujęcia fenomenu bezużytecznej przemocy przez tego autora zostaje rozszerzony o dodatkowe relacje świadków oraz ustalenia badaczy, którzy zajmują się sposobem funkcjonowania obozów koncentracyjnych oraz fenomenem nazistowskiego terroru. W ten sposób charakterystyka pewnej formy przemocy, którą wypracował autor, będący jednocześnie jej ofiarą, uzyskuje poparcie i szeroki komentarz.

First I discuss the rights as unavoidable part of the human dignity. There are four possible relations: dignity has a wider extension, the volume of both is equivalent, dig-nity includes in itself a bundle of rights, or it is just a simple right. There are good rea-sons to support the last two, even the last position. Then I evaluate some of the chal-lenging innovations in the medical technology, if they are acceptable in front of this close connection. The focus falls on three topics: PGD, cloning, and fusion of human-animal cells. Using moral principles such as non discrimination and non instrumentali-zation I look for some normative framing.

This discussion of the fourth-century commentary of Marius Victorinus on Paul’s epistle to the Galatians serves as a critical witness to late ancient understanding of Paul’s self-identification with the stigmata of Christ (of Gal 6:17), as the marks of his humiliating death on the cross. Echoing Paul on “being crucified with Christ”, Victorinus exhorted Christians to follow that example in suffering for their faith, warning them that suffering is inevitable. The present textual study uses linguistic, grammatical, rhetorical, and socio-historical analysis, particularly on the key terms, stigmata and mysterium. It concludes that Victorinus associated these terms to give meaning to trauma and suffering for Christians. The term mysterium in Victorinus’ work is closely associated with central aspects of Christ’s life and work, especially his crucifixion and death. While rejecting the “history of religions” school of thought on Christian liturgy borrowing from mystery religions, this study concludes that Victorinus’ use of the term mysterium reflects a move in fourth century Christianity to adapt language of the mysteries for the sacraments; more particularly, baptism is understood as a symbolic reenactment of Christ’s crucifixion, death and resurrection. Such an approach enhances the meaning of suffering in terms of service to Christ, for in baptism Christians share not only in Christ’s death, as suffering “with Christ”, but also in his resurrection, as victory over sin, suffering and death.

The story of Krzyś (Chris), which the author reconstructed based on talks with a friend, shows the situation of the “class clown”, the boy suspected of having ADHD whom the doctors were unable to diagnose explicitly for some years. Like many such “Others”, Chris experienced rejection by some of his teachers, peers and their parents and by some members of his own family. Early in life he knew the bitterness of loneliness, lack of understanding, aggression, fear of school, humiliation and helplessness. The story of Chris and his school problems shows how the attitudes of various persons in a school who deal with a child perceived as “different” can vary. How much depends on the particular person, on his or her receptiveness, ability to notice the problems and eagerness to help. The story is also a starting point for reflection on the model of the pupil – teacher relationship in a large school system as well as its alternatives; and more generally – on the functioning of schools in a socjety dominated by a culture of humiliation, hostility and rejection.

Historia Krzysia, odtworzona przez Autorkę na podstawie rozmów z jej koleżanką, pokazuje sytuację „klasowego głupka”. Chłopca z podejrzeniem ADHD, u którego przez kilka lat lekarze nie potrafili postawić jednoznacznej diagnozy. Jak wielu „Innych”, Krzyś doświadczył odrzucenia przez część nauczycieli, rówieśników i ich rodziców oraz niektórych członków rodziny. Wcześnie poznał smak samotności, niezrozumienia, agresji, lęku przed szkołą, upokorzenia, bezradności. Opowieść o Krzysiu i jego szkolnych problemach pokazuje, jak różne mogą być postawy osób związanych ze szkołą wobec dziecka postrzeganego jako „Inny”. Jak wiele zależy od człowieka i jego wrażliwości, umiejętności dostrzegania problemów i chęci spieszenia z pomocą. Opowieść ta jest też punktem wyjścia do refleksji nad modelem relacji uczeń – nauczyciel w szkole masowej i alternatywami dla niego, a także nad funkcjonowaniem szkół w społeczeństwie hołdującym kulturze upokarzania, wrogości i odrzucenia.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie głównych idei rozwijanych przez wybitnego izraelskiego myśliciela Avishaia Margalita. Odpowiada na potrzebę stworzenia propedeutyki lektury wynikającej z tego, że recepcja tego dzieła jest selektywna i podzielona według różnych dyscyplin, takich jak myśl polityczna, prawna, etyka, studia pamięciowe czy studia nad Zagładą, a Margalitowi nie poświęcono dotąd monografii systematyzującej całość jego dorobku. Artykuł stawia tezę, że najważniejszym założeniem tworzącym ramę myślenia społeczno-politycznego i moralnego Margalita jest rozróżnienie na etykę i moralność. Niniejszy artykuł ilustruje ten argument, wskazując powiązania między pojęciami, takimi jak przyzwoite społeczeństwo, upokorzenie, etyka i moralność pamięci, świadek moralny, zgniły kompromis czy zdrada. Oprócz treści dzieła Margalita artykuł podejmuje również zagadnienie metodologii, podkreślając znaczenie Wittgensteinowskiego pojęcia obrazu, filozofii przykładu oraz krytyki idolatrii/ideologii. Wybór głównych pojęć opisanych w artykule odsłania zarówno złożoność, jak i to, co spaja filozoficzną perspektywę rozwijaną w ciągu lat przez Margalita.

The aim of this article is to present the key notions developed by Avishai Margalit, a seminal Israeli thinker. There is a very clear need for a propaedeutic characterisation as Margalit’s works have to date been treated only selectively and fragmentarily in a variety of disciplines, including political thought, law, ethics, memory studies, and Shoah studies. There is as of yet not a single monograph on Margalit’s thought that provides a systematic interpretation of his entire body of work. The thesis of this article is that the most important assumption framing Margalit’s moral and socio-political thought is his distinction between ethics and morality. The article develops this argument by demonstrating how such notions as the decent society, humiliation, the ethics and morality of memory, moral witnesses, rotten compromises, and betrayal are in fact interconnected. Apart from the content of Margalit’s oeuvre, the article deals with questions of methodology, referring to Wittgenstein’s notion of the picture, the philosophy of example, and the critique of idolatry/ideology. The set of central notions described in the article reveals the coherence and complexity of Margalit’s philosophical thinking across his works.

Humiliation at work is a dangerous and, at the same time, poorly understood phenomenon. It is associated with an asymmetry of power, which induces in the humiliated person a feeling of having a lesser value and being inferior. It manifests itself as an internal event (judgment and emotions), an external event (an act of violence) or systemic social conditions (poverty and discrimination). Experiencing humiliation has negative consequences both when an individual becomes a subject and a witness of a humiliating event. These consequences concern many areas of an individual’s life and functioning within an organization. The article discusses the relationship between humiliation at the organizational level and work pathologies such as mobbing, intimidation, bullying, or harassment. Their purpose and effect is to humiliate an individual or a group of people, and since humiliation is associated with a sense of injustice and a desire for revenge, it often permanently disrupts the relationship between the parties and observers of such behaviors. Despite its individual and social significance, the phenomenon of humiliation is still a gap in the consideration of a healthy working environment and the relationship between people employed in the organization. Unlike in foreign literature, the phenomenon of humiliation is not a frequent subject of consideration in Polish studies, although interest has increased in recent years. The article proposes definitions of this phenomenon from 3 research perspectives, along with presenting selected concepts concerning the nature of this phenomenon and reports from research on the consequences of humiliating behavior at work, from the point of view of both an individual and an organization.

Upokorzenie w pracy to zjawisko niebezpieczne, ale słabo poznane. Wiąże się z asymetrią władzy. U osoby upokorzonej skutkuje poczuciem mniejszej wartości i bycia gorszym. Przejawia się jako zdarzenie wewnętrzne (sądy i emocje), zewnętrzne (akt przemocy) lub systemowe warunki społeczne (bieda i dyskryminacja). Doświadczanie upokorzenia niesie negatywne konsekwencje, gdy jednostka staje się zarówno podmiotem upokarzającego zdarzenia, jak i jego świadkiem. Konsekwencje te dotyczą wielu obszarów życia jednostki i funkcjonowania w organizacji. Artykuł ten omawia związek upokorzenia na poziomie organizacyjnym z patologiami pracy, takimi jak mobbing, zastraszanie, znęcanie się czy molestowanie. Ich celem oraz skutkiem jest upokorzenie jednostki lub grupy osób, a ponieważ upokorzenie wiąże się z poczuciem niesprawiedliwości i chęcią zemsty, często trwale zaburza relacje pomiędzy stronami i obserwatorami takich zachowań. Zjawisko upokorzenia – mimo swej jednostkowej i społecznej istotności – nadal rzadko pojawia się w rozważaniach o zdrowym środowisku pracy i relacjach między osobami zatrudnionymi w organizacji. W literaturze polskiej, w przeciwieństwie do literatury zagranicznej, zjawisko upokorzenia nie jest opisywane często, choć zainteresowanie nim w ostatnich latach wzrosło. Autorzy artykułu proponują definicję tego zjawiska z 3 perspektyw badawczych, przedstawiają wybrane koncepcje dotyczące jego natury oraz doniesienia z badań nad konsekwencjami zachowań upokarzających w pracy z punktu widzenia jednostki i organizacji.

Ph 2, 6-11 in a poetic way describes the paradoxical way of Jesus Christ. Being equal with God, He entered human history with no privileges and identified Himself with every human being. Of His own free will, He experienced complete insignificance. He subordinated himself to man. He survived extreme humiliation. God confirmed His way by raising Him above all and bestowing upon him the dignity of Kyrios, to whom all creation pay homage. This hymn is perfect paranesis. It encourages Christians to follow the way marked by Christ and to resign voluntarily from the battle for personal reputation, laws and merits. It proposes persistence, self-sacrifice and renunciation. To ascend highly one must descend.
