Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to acquire knowledge of theories of social pathology and approaches to various social minorities and groups that go beyond the norm and are often the source of various social problems.
A student who has successfully completed the course can: Describe key concepts such as norm, conformity, and control in the context of theories of pathological behavior; distinguish the basic types and means of prevention of pathological phenomena and understand their application to specific problems; describe the causes of selected pathological phenomena and understand their factual nature, including the determination of the society that has to cope with these phenomena in the light of current developments in this area in our country. The student who has successfully completed the course will be able to: define the social and economic contexts in the behaviour of marginalised groups; define the ethical nature of pathological phenomena with regard to the ways in which the selected issue is dealt with in our conditions. A student who has successfully completed the course is able to: recognize different forms of pathological behaviour and create models for dealing with individual situations (for example, he/she is able to find specific providers of assistance to victims of domestic violence in a particular region); in the event of a problematic situation encountered in personal or professional life, the student is able to respond appropriately in a civil manner (for example, as a witness to a violent conflict, stigmatisation of marginalised people, etc.).
