Akceptacja norm moralnych przez młodzież szkolną w Krośnie na Podkarpaciu

Abstract

All values are safeguarded by moral standards strongly connected with form of standards and behaviour criteria. The Decalogue as a collection of moral rules of Covenant creates Christian tradition. The Decalogue is the basis of European moral culture as it presents natural rules for both believing Christians and atheists. In 1997, a survey concerning The Decalogue was carried out. Students had to decide whether each of the ten commandments is „fully used”, „partly used” or „it is not used at all” in their lives as well as lives of other people. The survey shows that students do not have equal view on values: some of them are of higher priority than others and some are recognized by them as those of lower priority. Students also do not accept all religious truths but those which are useful for them at a given period of their lives.
