• A Hidden Stream in Medical Education

  The general aim of medical education is the same as in the case of any other ones: creating a professional person from a lay one. A special characteristic of this education is a deep rift between the lay and the professional perspective. One of the main trends of this trait is the discrepancy between the open and the hidden curricula. The contents of the hidden curricula, in many cases, cannot support the main messages of the formal one, on the contrary, they provide a different or even contradictory set of norms, values,
  attitudes. One of the main consequences of these discrepancies is that some medical students have been becoming more cynical since their entrance into medical education. The open curricula emphasize empathy, alleviating pain and suffering, the importance of trust and fidelity, and that the well-being of patients is one of the most important priorities. The hidden curricula at the same time emphasize objectivity, detachment, caution, and being suspicious against emotions. One of the outcomes of these eventually contradictory tendencies is that the ’wounded healer’ is not a precondition for becoming a healer, like in archaic times, but a by-product of medical education.

  One of the world’s largest video-sharing platforms is YouTube, where viewers can comment on
  the videos and their topics. The aim of this study is to examine the values and opinions about
  unconditional basic income according to the comment sections of several Youtube’s videos which
  topic is the previously mentioned UBI which is receiving increasing attention in parallel with
  today’s economic and social changes. Our research works with a mixed method, data collection,
  storage, sentiment analysis and the bag of words method which were implemented using IT
  procedures, while categorization was done through manual coding. The results of the sentiment
  analysis show that positive arguments appear to a lesser extent in the comments. Positive
  arguments have value characteristics such as inclusion, the principle of the right to exist, justice
  and freedom. Among the positive arguments feasibility enjoys the highest support. Negative
  category values arise more frequently, so the emphasis on the values of injustice, exclusion,
  unaffordability, and performance-orientation is dominant in the analyzed comments.

  The purpose of this study is to examine, in what extent the mainstream approaches of scientific
  theories can be applied on the field of the value-research. Therefore, I will examine these models
  through the lense of scientific philosophical approaches of 20th century. Of the three most
  significant philosophical theory (Popper’s falsification theory, Kuhn’s paradigm theory, and Imre
  Lakatos’s theory of scientific research programs), I apply Lakatos’s theory, since it fits the best
  to explain, how parallel research streams emerged on the field of value research. In this study I
  strive for conciliate Lakatos’s program and the three significant value models. In the scientific
  research program theory Lakatos found that many research programs coexist simultaneously.
  Each has a hard core or negative heuristic (as Lakatos calls it) of theories immune to any revision
  surrounded by a protective belt or positive heuristic of malleable theories. Every research
  program vies against others to be most progressive. In my opinion the core of the program is
  the value definition itself, which is used by the different researchers in the field of value studies.
  This value definition barely changed during the past few decades. On the other hand, there are
  numerous value models aimed to assess people’s value system. These models can be considered
  as the protective belt revolving around the hardcore definition. The aim of this paper is not to
  emphasize Lakatos’ theory from the philosophical approaches of science, but to examine value
  research through a philosophical eye. This approach also can ease the communication between
  the value research by exploring the common core of them.

  The purpose of our study is to present what young people think about justice, and how they
  are different from the youth and society of the country. The functioning of a society requires
  that fair conditions prevail in it. However, there are several types of justice. What young people,
  as adults of the future, think about this value is essential for the functioning of a society. We
  present philosophical interpretations and value sociological research on justice, then we define
  the concept of justice for Hungarian society and Hungarian youth. In our research we asked all
  eleventh and twelfth students of a Greek Catholic high school in Eastern Hungary in 2014 and
  2019. Quantitative method was used to compare students’ views on justice with the other young
  people in the country. According to our results during the five years of research, equality was
  more important for young people, especially for the boys. The importance of the value of equality
  was clearly related to the religiosity of the asked young people.

  Hungarian social policy underwent a major shift in emphasis following the change of government in 2010. The aim of this study is to examine the direction of these changes of emphasis compared to the models used by Esping-Andersen to typify welfare states. The analysis uses the classical criteria of the models and analyses changes in social policy principles, goals and instruments in five areas. In the areas of employment, family policy, tax policy, housing policy and crisis management, we would like to show that in Hungary we cannot currently speak of a purely conservative social policy model as declared by the government. The conclusion of our study is that the Hungarian system currently uses mixed elements, although the declared values are conservative and the authorities try to preserve conservative structures and actors, there is a significant shift in emphasis in social policy, and the mixed model shows strong liberal elements.

  Does culture have an impact on society, and if so, how? The study by Nathan Nunn and Leonard Wantchekon set out to examine the impact of the slave trade, which has left its mark on the African continent and its economy, but which ended some 100 years ago, on the cultural, norm-following, beliefs and values of individuals. Their aim is to explore the reasons that led to the historical disconnect within Africa between local governments or municipalities (politics), between the outlying communities (neighbours) and even within family relations, which may still influence economic development today. Nunn and Wantchekon's hypothesis is based on an earlier study by Nunn, which showed a causal link between the 400-year slave trade and the income conditions of the African population today, looking at the long-term economic effects of the slave trade.

  How discipline the teachers in the primary schools in Hungary? How should they discipline to
  meet the expectations, values and norms of our society? According to my research, in today’s
  primary schools there are significant differences between discipline and conflict management.
  I analyse the differences and I set the behavior patterns of the teachers into three distinct types.
  These three characters are controlled from traditions, outside and inside. These three types are
  distinctly distinct in everyday life of schools, with different effects on students’ socialization. In
  this paper, I present this hypothetical model, its operation in the dimension of discipline. The
  interviews that underlie the analysis were prepared by village teachers teaching in the Vásárosnamény micro-region.
