Humanistic psychology assumes that a child is by nature good and noble, and what he will become in the future depends on the kind of environment where the processes of upbringing and socialisation have taken place. Violence is beyond any doubt a social phenomenon which does not have any moral, territorial, or religious borders. Experiencing violence in childhood often determines undertaking destructive behaviours by an individual.

The Seville Statement on Violence (SSV) was originated by a launched UN-Committee of the International Society for Research on Aggression (ISRA) in the late seventies of the past century. Its final product, elaborated by more than twenty scholars from different scientific disciplines and from all continents, was presented in 1986 at the VI Coloquio Internacional sobre Cerebro y Agresión (CICA) in Seville. Three years later, it was endorsed by the 25th General Conference of UNESCO in Paris. Its main message was that violence, and consequently war too, are avoidable and aggressiveness can be tamed. The present article comments what were the main reasons which urged to elaborate it, and some difficulties found on the way.

This paper addresses some issues that I consider to be particularly important in order to better understand and possibly countervail the phenomenon of violence. It especially focuses on the following points: a) the concept of violence; b) the Seville Statement on Violence and the possibility of revisiting and updating it; c) emotional and cultural factors as causes of violence; d) a proposal of a new perspective on the study of the relations between ingroup and outgroup; e) the possible role of the awareness of the existence of death in the context of human violence; f) the necessity of including violence against animals in the study of human violence.

Rozwijające się nowe technologie, zwłaszcza media komunikacyjne, przyczyniły się do intensywności zachowań przemocowych w świecie wirtualnym. Niejednokrotnie z różnymi formami cyberprzemocy łączy się zjawisko sekstingu. Polega ono na przesyłaniu za pośrednictwem różnych mediów osobistych materiałów o charakterze erotycznym, a nawet pornograficznym. Artykuł stanowi pewną próbę zwrócenia uwagi na zjawisko sekstingu oraz skutki niewłaściwego korzystania przez dzieci i młodzież z mediów cyfrowych, szczególnie takich, jak internet czy telefonia komórkowa.

Developing new technologies, in particular communication media, has contributed to the intensity of violent behaviour in the virtual world. Very often different forms of cyberbullying are combined with the phenomenon of sexting. This involves the transmission of personal erotic, or even pornographic, material via various media. The paper is an attempt to draw attention to the phenomenon of sexting, and the consequences of the misuse of digital media by children and young people, in particular the Internet and mobile phones.

The aim of the research was to gain knowledge of who the people using sexual services are, why they do it and what their relationship with men offering paid sex looked like. Results show that the people who used sexual services were both men and women of different ages and with different professional status. The main reasons for using paid sex services were: unsatisfactory sexual contact,; a sense of loneliness and being neglected by the life partner, partner’s infertility, heartbreak or betrayal of a partner, problems with finding the right partner, unusual sexual preferences, change of gender and treatment of sex-meetings as a form of entertainment.

The Bible is full of mythological narratives- on the concept of violence. Thus, it becomes possible to construct a biblical anthropology on this con- cept, appears in Bíble, as a concept that is both endogenous and exogenous. Of course the Good Samaritan parable is the illustration of two forms of vio- lence, ranging from identity to alterity.

Kwestia bezpośredniego przedstawiania przemocy w filmach od dawna budzi kontrowersje w świecie naukowym, jest też przedmiotem zainteresowania opinii publicznej. Od lat 60. subgatunek gore coraz śmielej wkracza do głównego nurtu kinematografii, a kino popularne coraz chętniej adaptuje estetykę przemocy właściwą filmom tego gatunku. Bezpośrednie przedstawianie destrukcji ludzkiego ciała stało się współcześnie częścią kultury masowej. Na tę problematykę należy zatem spojrzeć również z perspektywy socjologicznej. Przyjmując taki punkt wyjścia, autor pyta w swoim artykule o wpływ wirtualnej przemocy na jednostkę, a także o to, w jakim stopniu filmy gore odzwierciadlają najistotniejsze cechy współczesnego społeczeństwa. Na przykładzie trzech wybranych filmów gore Lipowicz stara się wykazać, że subgatunek ten wskazuje na fundamentalne problemy egzystencjalne oraz na kwestię integracji społecznej w dobie ponowoczesności.

The question of direct presentation of violence in films has long been controversial in the scientific world, and it is also of interest to the public. Since the 1960s the subgenre of gore is increasingly present in the mainstream cinematography, and the popular cinema is increasingly willing to adapt the aesthetic of violence typical for films belonging to this genre. Direct presentation of the destruction of human body has become part of contemporary popular culture. It is therefore an issue that should be considered from the sociological perspective. Accepting this as his starting point, the author asks in the article about the impact of virtual violence on the individual, and the extent to which gore films reflect the most important features of contemporary society. Using the example of three selected gore films Lipowicz tries to demonstrate, that the subgenre points to fundamental existential problems and questions of social integration in the era of postmodernity.

For a long time, with few exceptions, Romanian linguistics took no interest in native slang, but after 1990 this has made a dramatic comeback in more than one way. One of the crudest versions of new slang, with touches of violence and licentiousness, turning the unsayable into sayable, is that currently used by young Romanians. It has been justly argued that such linguistic outlet came as a logical consequence, after the demise of communism, of the former censorship and wooden tongue. The paper sets out to put this oft-deplored linguistic phenomenon into perspective and analyse the main linguistic means employed in shaping it up.

This paper explores various abuses Foreign Domestic Helpers (FDHs) or migrant domestic workers (MDW) in Hong Kong suffer and the strategies they take up to cope with this abuse. Data were collected from 215 domestic helpers (135 from the Philippines, 30 from Thailand, 41 from Indonesia, and 9 from Sri Lanka) all of whom had been in residence for at least six months. Selected by snow-balling technique, respondents were interviewed with structured and non-structured questionnaires. Research shows that sexual abuse is the most common form of abuse against MDWs followed by psychological and physical abuses. Female employers are the main perpetuators of psychological abuse while the male employers are culpable for sexual abuses. Coping strategies varied widely among the MDWs. Many of them endure the violence to keep the job; some quit the job and others struggle with the decision to stay or quit.

The article addresses the problem of violence against the elderly people. The types of violence (physical, sexual, psychological, and economic) and their manifestations concerning this age category are revealed. It is noted that this phenomenon is latent, since official statistics is not available in the majority of European countries, and Ukraine in particular. Therefore, the purpose of the paper is to prove the urgency and timely social-pedagogical prevention of violence against the elderly people, as well as to substantiate effective ways of its minimization, using the pro-social potential of the information society. In order to realize this goal, it is necessary to apply such methods of research as analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization of results in relation to the stated problem. An analysis of the regulatory framework provides grounds for concluding that it is extremely difficult to gather sufficient evidence to justify the prosecution in court, due to the weak legal framework and vague definitions of the offense in the specific articles of the relevant codes. In this regard, the offender’s guilt is difficult to prove. As a result, offenders often avoid punishment and continue to commit violence. Social-pedagogical prevention of violence is a complex of measures aimed at preventing the violation of human rights in respect to its honor, dignity and living conditions. Such work should be carried out with all age categories: with children in order to prevent peer violence and protection of childhood, among parents in order to identify adequate methods of raising children and developing interpersonal skills (parents, relatives, neighbors and others); with representatives of various social institutions serving this category of persons in order to enhance professionalism and prevent professional burnout, with the elderly people in order to train them to protect themselves from violent attacks and to help others with the “peer-to-peer” technology. The emphasis is made on the conditions of the information society, which influence the development or suppression of such a phenomenon. In particular, having the information on ways to avoid violence, the work of the relevant institutions and providing the necessary services to victims of violence, a person has the opportunity to protect himself and others. The prospect of further research is the study of the structure and content of social-pedagogical support for the elderly people in the conditions of the information society.

A term „violence”, despite transformations of the meanings, has always been connected with relations between genders, and as such, what it means in a given society to be a woman and a man and which economic, social and psychological relations have been assigned to these categories. At least since the 18th century, unequal share of the power between men and women has been justified with, among others, a different share of “passion” and different potential of violence. A real power ready to use violence should be focused on the men side while a tasks of women should be neutralizing men’s readiness to use violence, achieved by subjecting themselves to men. For thousands of years military battles have been almost exclusively a man’s privilege. Even 100 years ago, women did not have a right to vote even in western countries with the longest democratic traditions. Today, giving a woman the highest office in a state is not unusual. So can we talk about a fall of the patriarchy and replacing men by women even in such man fields as war and military battles?

In order to understand and resolve internal armed conflicts one must comprehend why and how people revolt, and under what conditions they brutalise i.e. increasingly resort to terrorism, banditry, brigandry, “gangsterism” and other forms of violence that violate contemporary local and/or present‑day international norms that I believe are, in the final analysis, all based on the principles of conscience, empathy and honour. Contemporary “global” or regional norms distinct from those of the rebelling community, and the norms of the regime community and/or colonial power, are also considered. My pessimistically formulated and thereby quite testable brutalisation theory combines theorising elements of disciplines ranging from cultural anthropology to military psychology, so as to better explain rebellions or any armed conflicts and their morally corrosive effects. The theory’s main variables are: violence‑values (my composite term) on proper and improper violence; conflict‑inducing motivations, in particular grievances, avarices, interests and ideologies, that bring about i.e. cause or trigger the conflict; combat‑stresses like fear, fatigue and rage resulting from or leading to traumas (and hypothetically to brutalities as well); and conflict‑induced motivations, in particular grievances, avarices, interest and ideologies, that happen by, through and during the conflict. The present paper is an exploratory introduction to an ambitious research project, succinctly titled “Brutalisation in Anti‑Imperial Revolts”, with advice and support from Professor Tomasz Polanski. The paper addresses the project’s relevance and its epistemological and methodological challenges. The project seeks to explain rebellion, banditry and other forms of violence that may or may not be inherently brutal. It seeks to ascertain the causes and degrees of any brutalisations i.e. increasing violations of norms during rebellions by peripheral, marginalised ethnic (indigenous) communities against their overlords in classical, medieval and “modern” (industrial) times. It introduces seven selected cases of “peripheral‑ethnic revolts” by indigenous communities – as (semi‑) state actors, non‑state actors or both (yet possessing at least residual ruling capabilities) – against Imperial powers across the ages, with a special focus on banditry, “brigandry” (brigandage), guerrilla and other forms of irregular warfare. The first stage of the research will analyse and compare the causes i.e. motivations and involved norms, sorts of violence and degrees of brutalisation in these seven cases.

The author contends that any contestation or countercultural movement, no matter how generous, is bound to failure unless it develops as a rational project. Violence, as such, might help visibility, but, in the last analysis, it amounts to nothing more than self-gratifying narcissism, incapable to produce positive results, even less to satisfy the request of present day youth for a different, more open society.

The author questions the proposal to amend the Act – the Penal Code by supplementing its content with an article criminalizing the use of violence – other than as to a person – obstinately or in a manner significantly impeding another person in satisfying their basic needs in order to compel that person to a particular action, omission, or endurance. He points out inadequate arguments used by the authors of the bill to prove insufficient protection of tenants against forced eviction. It was pointed out that the scope of the proposed provision is not confined to behavior aimed at forcing tenants to leave their apartments, but provides for coverage of all cases of persistent violence. The author favors the fact that, under the bill, prosecution of offenses referred to in Article 191 § 1 and 1a of the Penal Code shall be initiated upon request of the injured person.

In dem Aufsatz wird die Frage nach der Gewalt im Alten Testament am Beispiel von Gen 34 behandelt. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass die Erzählung nicht einheitlich ist. Der ursprüngliche Text besteht aus V. 1 4.7a.8.10b.11*(ohne w> h'ybia' la,)-13a.14-15.17-21a.22aa.b-23ba.24(*?, vielleicht ohne Ary[i r[;v; yaec.yO lK' in V.24a).25a.26a ba.29b.26bβ (und vermutlich 35,5bβ). Sie wurde in Rahmen von der J-Komposition um V.30 ergänzt (siehe Gen 49,5-7) und schlieβlich vom Redaktor bearbeitet, der sich an Num 31,7-9; Dtn 7,3; 20,13-14; 2 Sam 13; Esr 9,11f und der deuteronomistischen Kritik der religiösen Hurerei (z.B. Dtn 31,16) orientiert. Die erste Fassung erzählt über die Gewalt der hochgestellten Machthaber (Dina’s Vergewaltigung von Sichem) und Manipulationen, die mit der blutigen Rache der zwei Söhne Jakobs endet. Die Mächtigen, die zur Gewalt greifen, werden zu den Opfern der Gewalt (eine Art von gerechter Vergeltung). Der Jahvist kritisieret diese Rache heftig, weil solche Gewalt nur zur schlimmeren Gewalt führen kann. Der Redaktor, der die Erzählung nach deuteronomistischen und chronistischen Geboten deutet, warnt vor dem Mischen mit den fremden Völkern, die Israel zum Götzendienst verführen. Am Beispiel aus der weit entfernten Vergangenheit, in dem die Gewalt gegen die Feinde und ihre Tötung leider positiv bewertet wurde, will er um die Gottestreue werben. Weil die Erzählung die Gewalt aus den verschiedenen Sichten betrachtet, kann sie nicht als die Befürwortung der Gewalt gelesen werden aber als die Warnung vor der Gewalt.

In dem Dramolett Rosamunde, dem dritten der fünf Prinzessinendramen, die den Zyklus Der Tod und das Mädchen I-V bilden, zitiert und verfremdet Elfriede Jelinek ein romantisches Stück von Helmina von Chézy, einer Autorin des 19. Jahrhunderts, die nicht sehr erfolgreich mit ihren Texten war. Dieser Artikel geht der Frage nach, wie die im Text verwendete diskursive Gewalt eine strukturelle, soziale und implizite Gewalt gegen Frauen sichtbar macht. Ausgehend von der performativen Theorie von Judith Butler, sollen die Strategien erforscht werden, mit denen der Text den etablierten Diskurs, der Weiblichkeit und Ohnmacht verbindet, destabilisiert und eine Reartikulation von hate speech möglich macht.

In the mini-drama Rosamunde, the third of the five Prinzessinnendramen, which form the cycle Der Tod und das Mädchen I–V, Elfriede Jelinek quotes and paraphrases a romantic play written by Helmina von Chézy, a female author of the 19th century who earned little fame with her writings. This article explores the use of discursive violence to demonstrate that its use in the text uncovers social, structural and implicit violence against women. Based on Judith Butler’s idea of performativity, the paper examines the way Jelinek’s text destabilizes the standardized role models, which connect femininity with powerlessness, and further questions and disturbs the use of hate speech.

Despite the fact that the situation in our society is sufficiently legally treated, the issue of domestic violence at the senior is still only in its infancy. Intervention and prevention would not only avoided tampering with this group of people, but to offer procedures that would help at least reduce the risk. The paper is focused on the issue of violence on seniors as society-wide problem. It defines domestic violence, causes, forms and types of violence. In the end, it offers opportunities for protection and prevention.
