Foster Care in the Light Charter of the Rights of the Family and Other Selected Documents: Polish Initiatives and Solutions
Krajewska, Beata (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2024)
There is a constant need to provide children with foster care in its various forms, both family and institutional. Situations where natural parents do not want or cannot take care of their children show an increasing trend. The issue of foster care should be known to society and be the subject of research exploration. The following article is part of the necessary and ongoing discourse on foster care. The main considerations are the assumptions regarding foster care included in the Charter of Family Rights. The entities and principles of foster care were presented in a synthetic way, and the assumptions regarding foster care found in other legal documents, both international and Polish, were described in more detail in the context of the postulate expressed in the Charter of Family Rights, which is the adoption of appropriate solutions regarding foster care and respect for natural rights of parents. In preparing the article, the method of analysing selected documents in the field of law and literature on the subject was used, as well as the method of content synthesis and the historical method.
Protection of Human Life in the Daily Existence of Christian Youth in the Face of the Civilisation of Death
Filipiuk, Łukasz (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2024)
The article addresses the protection of human life in the daily existence of Christian youth in the face of the civilisation of death. In view of the fact that to a large extent contemporary media and public opinion promote abortion as a human right and further attempts are being made to legalise abortion, it seems to be an urgent need to awaken in young people a sensitivity to the life of another human being and to show them the truth about the origins of human existence from conception to natural death, thanks to which they will be able to consciously opt for the civilisation of love. Pointing to Christ as the fullness of life, inviting young people to active participation in Him and recalling the examples of saints offering their lives for others are to encourage teenagers to follow in their footsteps. Pointing out the forms of personal commitment, creating the appropriate conditions for action, as well as accompanying them and taking them on in the wider pro-life work will not only enable young people to discover the sense of helping others, but will also become an important contribution to their personal and spiritual development.
Religion Lessons and Existential Questions of Children at the Early School Stage. Case Study of a Gifted, Asynchronously Developing Child
Lisowska, Kinga (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2024)
In a dynamically developing world, undergoing continuous cultural, social, economic and political changes, people for centuries now have been looking for answers to basic questions relating to the human lifecycle of birth – existence – death. Children, who are in the identity-shaping phase, experience even more acutely than adults lack of a well-established structure of thinking in terms of the continuity of their being, the meaning and purpose of life, their own death and that of those close to them. They should, therefore, be given an opportunity to find their own way in this respect during school catechesis. This article presents the importance of school catechesis in the search for answers to existential questions posed by primary school children. The presented research was based on a case study of an 8-year-old boy, a second-grade student, whose existential functioning in the period of two years of schooling was determined by school catechesis. It is characterized by continuity in the questions posed by the child as well as a change in experiencing the sense of the lack of meaning and purpose of life, death, searching for and evaluating the elements of good and evil. In the first year of catechesis, the boy “eased” his fear of the end of human life, and in the second year he realized that the source of answers to the questions bothering him were values, principles and examples promoted in the Catholic faith and the community of God.
The Meaning of Symbolism of Colours in Fear-Themed Drawings of Polish and Turkish Children
Konieczna, Ewelina J.; Talu, Ertugrul (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2024)
The aim of our research was to discover the symbolism of colours applied in fear-themed drawings. The research covered 482 children from Poland and Turkey, whose ages ranged from 6 to 10 years and who were of Polish and Turkish nationalities (purposive sampling, snowball sampling). The research consisted in comparing the range of colours used by the children of both nationalities in their drawings and in interpreting them, considering the respective cultural contexts. For the needs of the analysis presented in the article, we formulated the following questions: What colours dominate the drawings of children of both nationalities? What are the similarities and the differences between the colours applied in the examined drawings? How can the applied colours be interpreted, taking into account their symbolic meaning and function in the given culture? It was discovered that the predominant colours used by the group of examined children were black, red, and blue. Based on the conducted research the authors put forward the hypothesis that the use of these colours in children’s fear-themed drawings is not accidental. They can be treated as colours of fear, which is ones that have a symbolic relation with this emotion. In the case of the colour black, this can be the fear of death, whereas the colour red can symbolize the fear of getting injured. On the other hand, the use of the red and blue colours can also be interpreted as a need to be protected against danger (apotropaic significance of colours).
