Laura Niculina Dinca — 2022-09-02

The present study brings to the fore a topic as old as the world and always current, indispensable for the coexistence of people and the deciphering of the human species: the analysis of personality in a bio-psychological, but also socio-economic-cultural context. The introduction presents the intentions of the author, Viorel Robu, to review the historical approaches to the concept of personality and the implications of its knowledge in the training of specialists in the field of psychology, psychiatry, sociology, education, as detailed in the four chapters.

Communication within Couples - Function and Dysfunction

Iulian Apostu — 2022-09-02

If we were to analyze most of the reasons for marital separation, we would come to the conclusion that many of them should have been subject to mediation rather than dissolution. The way in which the partners communicate as a couple positively or negatively influences the relationship between them and, through them, the relationship with the extended family. The level of self-esteem, fear of failure, fear of conflicts, dominance tendencies, cultural imperatives, etc. are among the main causes that influence the quality of communication between spouses. And if sociological and psychological theories see the conflict as only being a state that highlights the differences between partners, those that should later be subject to marital self-mediation, most individuals do not see the difference between conflict and scandal. They see conflict as an inevitable failure and its anticipation mainly creates the strategy of avoiding it than that of a frontal approach and solving the problem. Effective communication is based on the principle of openness towards the other and sincerity. The sincerity of one stimulates the sincerity of the other and the partners thus know the true feelings and needs of the other. The study aims to highlight the main resources of effective communication, insisting also on gender peculiarities in communication and specific dysfunctions in the message encryption algorithm.

Hastening the Marriage Decision for the Pregnant Woman

Iulian Apostu — 2022-09-02

Choosing a spouse is a very important process in the life of the individual. This choice influences marital harmony or disharmony and for this reason, the decision should be made after a sufficient period of knowing the partner. Moreover, the decision to marry should be the synthesis of concrete experiences that show how the partner reacts in the concrete situations of life, how the partner reacts to the needs of the other, what is the level of participation in the joint actions of the couple and, of course, how they react in situations of stress. But, beyond the "theories", the elections are often the effect of the emotion of the moment, an effect of the immediate need for fusion or an effect of the culture of the reference community. Thus, although the choices seem to be free, they receive influences from the families of origin, from the reference group or from the culture of the community of which an individual is a part. The study aims to investigate the situation of culturally imposed marriages due to the woman's condition of being pregnant before marriage. With cultural imperatives like "get married because you're embarrassing us!" or "get married because there is a risk that the man will leave you!", some of the pregnant women accept the haste of marriage. The study is based on the analysis of official documents, which are divorce files from the period when the Family Code was into force.

Human Rights without Borders for Refugees and Asylum Seekers. Social and Jurisdictional Aspects

Simion Belea — 2022-09-02

The refugee crisis generated by internal conflicts and civil wars from various areas consolidated unilateral interventions towards security, rather than developing a collective answer and providing immediate actions based on human rights to support vulnerable groups. A retrospection of the past decade events in the Arabic World, illustrates that during the years 2014 - 2021, the world witnessed the highest wave of refugees migrating from Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan and Iraq to Europe. By analysing this, we can argue that concerns regarding security policies led to a significant increase in the number of difficulties that refugees and asylum seekers encounter in obtaining international protection support. The 24th of February 2022 marks the beginning of the Russian invasion in Ukraine. It similarly marks the day when the twenty seven countries – members of the EU allowed the directive for temporary protection and support to the Ukrainian refugees, for the first time in the European Union history. This current study examines the collective efforts of the Intra – European relocations offering immediate support to those fleeing the war while respecting the fundamental international human rights.

The Divorce. Comparative View between Old and Current Regulations - Social Significance

Loredana Terec-Vlad — 2022-09-02

In the past, Romanian legislation did not distinguish between the termination of marriage and its dissolution through divorce. Divorce represented, as stipulated in art. 38 of the Family Code, the means of dissolving the marriage, for good reasons, which made it no longer possible to continue the marriage. It follows from the definition of divorce that it could only be obtained by judicial means, even in the situation when it was based on the consent of the spouses, the court being the one that pronounced it, after verifying the fulfillment of the legal conditions. Nowadays and with the entry into force of the New Civil Code, things have changed considerably. At the same time, when it comes to divorce and marriage, in European law only the right to conclude a marriage is protected, but the right to divorce is non-existent.

Tortious Liability vs Contractual Liability. Comparative View

Loredana Terec-Vlad — 2022-09-02

To speak of responsibility and accountability in human actions is to bring together two disciplines: philosophy and law. The society we live in is based on knowledge, one in which human values have transformed, relativism being an element that outlines certain justifications of the individual for their actions. The same is not the case in law, where everyone is accountable and responsible for their actions. In this paper we will bring to the forefront the tortious liability vs. contractual liability.
