Działania Związku Pracy Obywatelskiej Kobiet na rzecz pomocy rodzinie
(Karkonoska Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa w Jeleniej Górze, 2013) Piwowarczyk, Mirosław; Uniwersytet Wrocławski
The Women Citizens’ Work Association (Związek Pracy Obywatelskiej Kobiet – ZPOK) (1928–1939) was one of the most influential women’s organisations related to the Sanation movement in the Interwar Period in Poland. At the time of its greatest development it included nearly 50,000 members. Its work was carried out by Agencies located all over the country. The Association had ideological and political ties to the Sanation movement, which is why its main aim was the development of the political state-forming thought of Józef Piłsudski. In the political aspect it would attempt to implement the rules of real democracy by disseminating and developing the idea of Polish statehood and by making it possible for women to have direct influence on political, social, economic, and cultural life of Poland. In the social aspect, the Association would establish and develop a number of social services agencies, educational institutions, and cooperative manufactories, which were intended to, among others, support and empower the family, thus strengthening the new state. The main aim of the ZPOK was to help the family, especially mothers and children from the families of the unemployed, the poor, the ill, and alcoholics. The help would take on many forms. The Association established and ran i.a. Houses of Mother and Child, mother and child care centres, nurseries, kindergartens and Jordan gardens, day rooms, summer camps and day camps. It provided food for children of unemployed parents and organised legal, medical, psychological, and pedagogical advice centres. The Association would address issues crucial to the family, including upbringing, legal, economic, moral, and ethical problems. The broad scope of the Association’s work allowed for the strengthening of the family’s position in social, political, and moral life and for the improvement of the quality of life of numerous families in the Interwar Period.

Rodzina – jej wartość i znaczenie z perspektywy życia Dorosłych Dzieci Rozwiedzionych Rodziców
(Karkonoska Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa w Jeleniej Górze, 2012) Piotrowska, Maja; Uniwersytet Wrocławski
We live in a world where our values and beliefs passed from one generation to another are being redefined. The notions of marriage and family also receive different meanings. Persons involved in my research often stressed the great value they associate with this smallest social group. I think that their opinions and beliefs are the consequence of the fact that my interlocutors – as they admitted – did not experience things they were talking about themselves. On the other hand, their opinions about marriage and family are full of uncertainty and fear of impermanence. Such anxieties related to these crucial forms of relationships are typical of adult people. They do not seem to believe that their relationships can last forever. It is especially marriage that they see as impermanent, weak, and unstable, and as something likely to decay. They believe that the memories concerning their parents' divorce are proofs of their theories.

Wychowanie szczęśliwego człowieka podstawowym celem rodziców
(Karkonoska Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa w Jeleniej Górze, 2012) Piecuch, Ewelina; Uniwersytet Wrocławski
There are numerous definitions of education. They are dependent on the concept of who human beings are and what their place in the world is as well as on the conditions of their existence, on what the communities expect of their members, and on what the society expects of an individual. The educational act carried out as part of the process of education can be defined as the actions aimed at altering the behavior of an individual at a particular point in time and in a particular situation. Within the family, bringing up a happy child is the purpose of all educational acts. Contemporary studies on childhood suggest that a happy childhood constitutes a stable foundation allowing for a positive functioning in society. It also increases the chances of adults to maintain the balance in which they were brought up.

Przedstawienia rodziny w komiksie – uwikłania ideologiczne
(Karkonoska Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa w Jeleniej Górze, 2011) Gulanowski, Jacek; Uniwersytet Wrocławski
Comics (despite its history dating back to the end of 19 century) is still a medium undervalued and underestimated. However, in comics one may discover role models important for the readers, who shape their own understanding of family, aims of family life or proper forms of its realization by accepting, negating or reinterpreting those role models. The aim of comics is the creation (within one piece) of a language understood by as many readers as possible. Popularity of comic books, specificity of its forms of expression and relatively low cost of “production” made possible attempts of the use of this for ideological goals since its very beginnings. Those attempts have been made by both groups at power as well as those who tried to resist their pressure. Ideological entanglement is not only observed in the case of comics consciously used for spreading a specific agenda. It also exists in comics, which, according to their authors, “only tell a story”. Those entanglements arise from the worldview of the creators or references to other comics, which were in any way ideologically entangled. One of the features of the comics portrayal of family is that family usually is a part of the background, not the main theme. There are two main kinds of family portrayal in comics: criticism and affirmation. Even though family is not one of the main themes of comics it may be considered the “litmus paper” of comics ideological entanglement. Family is the oldest human institution, being both a and . It can be thus stated, that one's relation to the family is one's relation to the traditional world.

Narzeczeństwo – dawne i współczesne. Zmiana w sposobie przygotowania się do małżeństwa
(Karkonoska Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa w Jeleniej Górze, 2011) Ładyżyński, Andrzej; Uniwersytet Wrocławski
19 and 20 century morals guides written for persons in diverse life situations constitute a basis for the article presented. The decoding of the contemporary and historic meanings of engagement was attempted from that perspective. Pre-marital relationships would always constitute an important stage of transition. Their arranging initially depended on the senior members of families, with the feelings and opinions of the engaged hardly ever taken into account. Changes in the forms of establishing and functioning of relationships preceding marriage took place in the second half of the 20 century.
