The "Quality of human life” in the age of pandemic – polish perspective

Kłos Skrzypczak, Aleksandra (author)

It seemsthat the time of the pandemic has completely changed the pattern of human behavior and contributed to the reevaluation of life priorities. Until now, the busy, consumerist post-industrial society suddenly had to stop and take care of weaker and sick individuals. In my article, I justify that many actions introduced on the initiative of the governments from different countries, result from the thought for the quality of every human life. The world, which so far focused only on quality of life, suddenly emphasizes the essence of every human life, regardless of age or disability. In the text, I draw attention to the fact that many activitiesin the era of a pandemic are consistent with the Catholic social teaching, which many are not aware of.

Abstract

Zdi se, da je čas pandemije popolnoma spremenil vzorec človekovega vedênja in prispeval k prevrednotenju življenjskih prioritet. Doslej zaposlena, potrošniška postindustrijska družba se je morala nenadoma ustaviti ter poskrbeti za šibkejše in bolne posameznike. V članku utemeljujem mnenje, da so številni ukrepi, uvedeni na pobudo vlad različnih držav, posledica skrbi za kakovost vsakega človeškega življenja. Svet, ki se je doslej osredotočal le na kakovost življenja, nenadoma poudarja bistvo vsakega človeškega življenja – in to ne glede na starost ali invalidnost. Opozarjam še na dejstvo, da so številne dejavnosti v času pandemije skladne s katoliškim družbenim naukom, česar se mnogi ne zavedajo.
