Abstrakt

In the lecture it is indicated that social inequalities have been conditioned by different factors, so called external: economic, political, structural as they emerge from individual attitudes, actions taken and everyday situations. They have been evident since the beginnings of social existence of humans. Contemporary, since the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century, the essential indicators of social attitudes have been; economic liberalization, privatization, and marketing of all branches of the economy and social sphere, restrictive, anti-inflationary economic policy, the lack of border control. Social troubles have been privatized and handled over to those they refer to. The economic and social policies have become more and more the subject of international agreements. The criterion of social stratification have been subject to change as well. The dramatic wealth of some is parallel to desperate poverty of the others. Poverty has certain characteristics, it is being gradual, multidimensional and multi-question among others.
