According to statistic reports the number of disabled people in the world is still increasing. Nowadays it’s estimated that one for six citizens in European Union is disabled. New laws are established to improve the social attitude towards the sick and the disabled. The perception of people with disabilities is widely dominated by their limitations that often take priority. Completely different social attitudes concern artists. They are admired. The aim of the paper is to discuss the extent to which the disabled people can contribute to the culture and to reflect on the importance of art for the rehabilitation process as well as for the social integration of artists with disabilities. The conclusion that it implies is, that the art for ages well serves the integration and rehabilitation cause.

Socio Demographic Factors

The social acceptance of people with disabilities is multidimensional and is often analyzed concerning various factors. Both external (demographic) factors, e.g. age, gender, place of residence, type of education or occupation, and internal factors (e.g. level of intelligence, self-esteem, sense of coherence) can be taken into consideration. The study presents the results of an analysis of the relationship between socio-demographic factors, characteristics of the family environment, social relations, contact with people who have disabilities, and the level of social acceptance of people with disabilities. The study uses the Disability Acceptance Scale, which consists of 27 statements and is a tool used to measure the level of acceptance of people with disabilities in three dimensions: (1) the acceptance of support given to people with disabilities; (2) the acceptance of inclusion of people with disabilities in the institutions of social life; (3) the acceptance of competences of people with disabilities to function in social roles. The study involved 313 people living in south-eastern Poland, including 156 women (49.84%) and 157 men (50.16%).The results of the research showed that regarding socio-demographic factors there are no statistically significant differences between the level of acceptance of people with disabilities depending on the gender of the respondent;, while differences are observed between different age groups and people living in different types of living environment. In the context of the family environment, the factors affecting the level of acceptance were the mother’s education and the father’s employment. Concerning social relations with people with disabilities, having a family member with a disability and having contact with a student with a disability at school were found to be significant factors affecting social acceptance.

The paper presents the problem of corporal punishment in Poland in the light of social approval of violent behaviours towards children and social attitudes towards activities counteracting the problem of the use of corporal punishment in upbringing. On the background of the brief presentation of world research proving negative consequences of corporal punishment, and in this context, underlining the meaning of corporal punishment and the need of the intensive actions against the problem, the role of research on social attitudes towards it is accented. Based on this, in the paper some aspects of the report of the Polish Ombudsman for Children on social attitudes towards violence in upbringing from year 2017 are presented. In the light of several indicators that show: the level of social acceptance of violent behaviors in relationship with a child, treating beating children a method of child rising and social awareness of the ban of corporal punishment and the assessment of the law as well as attitudes to others actions, the paper presents considerations about the level of the social acceptance of violence against children, which is seen in Poland and on that ground also rather sad conclusions about the risk of the use of violence in everyday raising practice but also a risk of violence toward a child in its serious forms that harm to health and life of a child. The end of the paper presents the thesis promoted in the world about the possibility of decreasing the problem of child maltreatment by lowering the social acceptance of mild forms of violence. This direction is seen as fundamental in many recommendations and programs undertaken to end violence against children as a global task designated in Sustainable Developmental Goals Agenda 2030.

There are over 400 000 people with disabilities in Costa Rica, but there is almost no published research on their employment. To identify employment opportunities, I interviewed 23 participants in the training program of a foundation in Alajuela, Costa Rica (students, professors and mothers). I found that they have insufficient opportunities because of social attitudes and communication barriers, often limiting them to entry-level and low paying jobs.

The Face

The worldwide discourse on the problem of corporal punishment presents the discussion and results of research that gives the evidence of serious harm that CP does. In this light the need of intensive efforts to eliminate corporal punishment as the most frequent form of violence against children is strongly emphasized in the last years. Among different activities dedicated to stop the problem research on various indicators correlated with the use of corporal punishment are recommended. One of them is social acceptance of violent behaviors in relationship with a child. Due to this recommendations also in Poland proper research has been done in order to get a diagnosis of social attitudes towards corporal punishment. This paper presents some results of the research of the year 2017 commissioned by the Ombudsman for Children, which was the 7th edition of the monitoring of social attitudes on violence in upbringing that has been continued since 2011. The below presentations focuses on results of parents as a group of the general population. Additionally parents were asked also about their own behaviors towards their children, as an attempt not to assess directly the range of the use of corporal punishment by them but to get the picture of the another face of their attitudes toward the problem. In the face of the results it can be said that the picture of parents’ approval of violence in upbringing must be regarded as problematic and needing determined interventions. The most problematic is the level of the acceptance of these behaviors, which often are not clearly named in a public space as violence like spanking. The level of the approval of violence toward children among Polish parents should beregarded as a negative context of child well-being in Poland which definitely conduces to the existence of violent behaviors in everyday rising practices and the harm experienced by children.
