Labour is a basic element of every human’s life. It significantly influences not only our value system, personality or behaviour, but also life of the whole society. Therefore, it is not unusual to work as a prisoner as it is not unusual to work as a free man. Labour is understood as the acknowledgment of the same rule that’s applicable both to prison and the outside world. This article discusses labour as a form of resocialization. It describes good sides of resocialization through work that’s being implemented at organizational units of the Prison Service, employment of convicts and also actions taken as part of the state programme “Work for prisoners.” Work performed while serving a sentence, based on rules of equal treatment, is very important in the resocialization process. It takes up convicts’ free time, thus lowering the probability of occurrence and continuation of negative behaviours and attitudes. It teaches them the role of a worker and adjusts their consciousness to the relation between satisfaction of needs and necessity of performing occupational work, an important element of their preparation for life on the outside. Therefore, it is a positive forecast for their social readaptation, which is an indisputable purpose of serving a sentence.

The article presents the meaning of professional work as experienced by teachers in the midlife transition period (the concept by P. Oleś). Qualitative research conducted with the use of an autobiographical method (a reference to the journal writing tradition of F. Znaniecki and his followers, including pedeutology experts) has been placed within the framework of everyday life sociology as presented by A. Schütz, P. Berger and T. Luckmann, and P. Sztompka. The purpose of the presented study is to focus on how the stage of one’s development influences the quality of work and determines the meaning and importance of professional experiences. In order to describe it, a reference has been made to the research conducted among 6 female teachers in the midlife transition period.

Jan Sowa przekonuje w swojej książce, że „inna rzeczpospolita jest możliwa”. Punktem wyjścia dla jego analizy społeczno-polityczno-gospodarczej sytuacji, w jakiej znajduje się współczesna Polska, była rocznica 25-lecia transformacji. W tym samym czasie książkę o podobnym tytule - Inny kapitalizm jest możliwy - wydał Andrzej Szahaj, także odwołując się do bilansu ostatniego ćwierćwiecza. Obaj autorzy rozpoczynają swój wywód od krytyki przemian i długo funkcjonującego ślepego zaufania do „niewidzialnej ręki rynku”, przejętego wraz z otwarciem na Zachód. Przyglądając się rodzimemu kinu tworzonemu po 1989 roku, okazuje się, że dominującą narracją wobec przemian ekonomicznych, dokonujących się pod wpływem zmiany ustrojowej, była ta, która wspierała działania wolnorynkowe. Jeżeli krytykowano polską sytuację gospodarczą, to źródeł złej sytuacji upatrywano albo we wciąż istniejących naleciałościach poprzedniego systemu, albo w zbyt wolnych przemianach. Dopiero ostatnie lata przyniosły w polskim kinie filmy, które powoli zmieniają perspektywę, upatrując zagrożenia dla życia społecznego już nie w niedoborze, lecz w nadwyżce liberalnych rozwiązań w gospodarce. Artykuł ma na celu naszkicowanie mentalnej mapy polskiego kina ostatnich lat i sprawdzenie, czy rzeczywiście można w nim dostrzec oznaki postępującej zmiany w ocenie kapitalizmu. Oglądając takie filmy, jak choćby: Pewnego razu w listopadzie, Dzikie róże, #WszystkoGra, Kamper, Król życia czy Między nami dobrze jest, można odnieść wrażenie, że inna kinematografia faktycznie jest możliwa.

The issue of intellectual property protection on the global information network the Internet has recently become a matter of serious concern on the part of rights holders. Copyright, which arose with the invention of book printing in medieval Europe, was originally planned and understood as an institution of exclusive author’s monopoly on the production of material copies of works. In fact, it is in this context that the concept of copyright existed until the XXI century. On the eve of the new millennium, the emergence of an unprecedented phenomenon for its time - the World Wide Web, has significantly shaken traditional views on the concept of copyright and the limits of its regulation.
The effectiveness of the copyright approach to the protection of the legitimate interests of right holders was questioned as early as 1845 by the American judge in the case of Emerson V. Davies. In his opinion, the exclusive rights to the results of creative activity are inadmissible, given that these results themselves are the result of thoughts, ideas, images that were created and repeatedly used by other people.
Indeed, creativity is impossible without attracting or borrowing from the “intellectual treasury” of civilization. With the development of modern information technology, such borrowing has become available to anyone with an Internet connection. With the proliferation of computer programs that allow you to record music, create images, animation, creativity is no longer an elite activity available only to the select few.

South Korea is a country where gender inequality has been observed from the past to the present. Many studies point out that gender inequality in Korean society is a consequence of Confucianism which still exists in the social norms, structure and hierarchy of society and the mentality of contemporary Korean people. It causes that gender inequality remains strong not only in the job market but also in the gender division of homework and care work issues, particularly in the sphere of family life. The main object of this paper is to investigate the possibility of making marital relationships equal while women are economically active. To achieve the paper’s main goal, the statistical analysis was carried out with logistic regression on data from the Korean Longitudinal Survey on Women and Families in 2012 and 2020. The results indicated that despite the significant social and economic changes in Korean society, women’s activity in the job market did not introduce a significant change in the division of household duties among men and women, which shows women’s involvement in economic support of the family it does not make any significant changes to the aspect of equality in the relationship.

The Central African region is known to be one of the most intensive growth and dangerous at same time regions in Africa. Therefore, this research focuses on the Democratic Republic of the Congo due to its large potential in mineral resources and aims to clarify the safety management situation at the mining industry. The paper examines the leading producer of copper in Africa and cobalt, situated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Nevertheless, it is also noted that the Democratic Republic of the Congo has a high percentage of children exploiting the copper and cobalt mines, a phenomenon occasioned by the current social and economic inequalities experienced by the DRC. This study will help clarify the situation of safety management systems in the mining industry and can be used by companies entering the emerging market.

In this paper an attempt is made to determine the material, subjective and temporal scope of application of an electoral exception provided for under Art. 31 (3) of the Copyright Law.

One of the main objectives focusing on the subject of disability is to create a situation which will enable people with disabilities to fully participate in all spheres of social activities. In Poland the issues of disability and disabled people have been present in the public debate for many years. However, the changes in the social as well as economic climate of life justify taking actions and their adjustment to reality, so as not to marginalise the issues of disability in terms of the state’s responsibilities for its citizens. One of such actions is the professional insertion and employment of people with disabilities. The paper will tackle the above-mentioned problems.
